Saw a Cyber Truck prototype yesterday

For what it's worth, they look butt ugly in person. I wasn't considering one anyway, but after seeing them live, there's no way I'm paying money for one.

A question or two from here in the UK.

What is this vehicle for? I had originally assumed that it was a utility vehicle, load carrying at the back but cannot see any drop down parts (back or sides) for easy access.

Those sharp points in the bodywork, are they actually allowed these days?

The Maserati is gorgeous, the paint or whatever — hideous, though it looks well done.

All paint should be finished that well, except for matte, though I don't get that.

It's not "paint", it's a wrap.

The tailgate is somewhat concealed. You can't see the line where it opens on the near side, but you can just make out the parting line on the far side.

Probably not where you live, no. If I recall correctly, Germany and the UK were the first to pass strict laws about pedestrian protection that made sharp leading edges or anything that could catch a pedestrian's clothing on a motor vehicle illegal.

Love how the Cybertruck is shaking up the "beige box" pickup market.

Ahhhhh .. trucks are the few places I see non-gray vehicles.

I'd ask the driver if I could throw an iron ball at his window.

That 770 HP Shelby F150 is something to brag about.:driving:
The other is so soy.

Ya gotta wonder how hot it gets inside, from the sun, from the charger, crawling along the beltway traffic :banghead:

Voodoo, you forget we’re a country of excesses. Most of us buy things like this just because we think they look cool, not that we really need it.

That's a nice turn of phrase!

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
