tesla's bulletproof cybertruck comes with pop-up camper configuration

looking at the images that have emerged of this “object of curiosity”, I find it very hard to comprehend how exactly this vehicle would pass pedestrian safety standards or indeed with its impenetrable shell crash test standards with crumple zones etc. It looks to intents like a student concept project at best. Or if I was being cynical a concept for a Mars rover vehicle. Or perhaps is this concept about making armoured vehicles seem normal? So the extremely rich oligarchs can start rolling around in public in road legal tanks?

Of all the designs, this dystopian pick up gets the nod to move forward… egad’s. When I think of what could have been so really cool I look back to the Deora, https://www.motortrend.com/news/c12-0509-dodge-deora/. This kind of thinking is what in my mind would have been super cool to have been electrified, not some recycled F117.

It was about time someone thought outside the box! Thank God for people without fear (and a bunch of money) to force this World to advance.

The best designers of History, are the ones that had a childish imagination and a naive view of the business world, and a very wealthy sponsor. Their designs were often not liked by “normal” people but, their sponsor’s insistence made their designs trendy and stylish.

Congratulations Mr. Musk!

Was sure this is Elon’s sense of humor… but now see that 200k people have bought into it! Design looks like it’s from a first year student competition… would be dangerous in reality with all the sharp edges & pointy corners. I’m still waiting for a functional truck that’s sustainable; hoping it comes to market in my lifetime.

As much as this design is shocking, I feel all other cars now feel timid, and shy and conservative for all being so similar to each other.

l have only one word for the Tesla Model T, ” Rivian “

I think this is definitely a publicity stunt! And am I the only one who thinks the design of this truck is just horrible?

Does anyone else think this might not be real? It feels very prototype like still….Publicity stunt since a lot of other car companies have been making announcements?

Trucks are extremely profitable as the big 3 all sell basically the same crude out of date designs. While this Cybertruck won’t sell well in the Deep South. Those fools love propping up Saudi Arabia and driving poor handling vehicles as long as they belch smoke. I do see a market outside Trumplandia. Musk and other will start to crack this cartel and their crude products. Hopefully the obsolete 19th century technology, the Diesel engine will finally be the first victim with bring modern technology to trucks.
