Who would buy this piece of crap? Like really?
Possibly unpopular opinion but I think the Cybertruck is about as dumb-looking as most any other truck on the market. 4 big doors, more cabin than bed, trucks in general are all goofy looking parking lot crawlers nowadays
Shit on me if you must but I actually like the look and features of the car. However I likely wouldn't buy a Tesla in general
It could be a good vehicle, if it was built by someone else.
The past few years have revealed that while Tesla have the tech, they lack the basic precision manufacturing that other automakers mastered decades ago.
I agree, features are nice and I also would enjoy trying to drive one. But in a for a long term usage, I bet the reliability will be an issue and also some Tesla shenanigans such as 20k for the battery.
Thing is: I personally don’t give a shit about features. I like simple and basic vehicles that last for many years.
You’d like the “features” of any car, it’s why they’re features. It’s the tradeoffs that actually matter.
And yeah, it looked cool at first, but that’s really just because of its uniqueness. From an actual design perspective, it just looks…stupid.
Tools
A lot of people. Bunch of my coworkers were hyped about the release.
I'll bet there are going to be some great deals for these on the used market when whatever cool factor there is collapses.
Good deals on used cars is a thing of the past I'm afraid
Is it because they want to use it for sth or just because it’s "cool"?
Fellow narcissists.
I think the main market was supposed to be like a utility vehicle. It's got some nice specs for actual work purposes for an electric vehicle, while saving money by not making a pretty body.
I don't know why some people like the look and want it for recreational use.
It was supposed to be a utility vehicle but it genuinely failed. If I wanted a utility vehicle, I would get Toyota Land cruiser 79. For a utility vehicle, you need something reliable, something which does not have 246 useless electronic features and something you can drive while wearing gloves (you cannot so this with tesla considering every setup is made via the display).
Tbh, to me is seems like a car which is made purely for city and for the ones who just want to show off. It definitely is not a proper workhorse.
If I wanted a utility vehicle (which would be abused), I would look for:
Nothing more is truly needed because it just adds the probability of failure.
