Tesla Cybertruck

It’s also grand though for people to make assumptions about a person based on driving a particular car.

A Donegal reg BMW E92 with heavy modifications screams “lad who left school before the LC, peanut head, hangs out in Tesco car parks, loves eurohouse, not too clever, a menace on the roads.

If I saw someone driving a cyber truck in Ireland then I’d be thinking the owner is desperate for attention, thinks driving a hideous literal rust bucket gives him that, lot of “small dick energy”.

The absolute state of that metal, awful. Just an epically ugly vehicle, Musk trying to recreate the iconic DMC-12 and just recreating its failed construction instead.

I know the saying most punters didn't know an M5 from a 520D. So no one was saying that about someone in an M5.

Cheers, my friend moved mountains with his Tesla rep to ensure it all fell into place for my arrival. The attention the CT gets is off the radar. West Palm Beach is a wealthy area with Ferrari's and Lambo's etc everywhere but the CT interest was incredible, it was like a magnet. I stopped at a set of traffic lights and 2 guys appeared at the window doing a live Instagram video 😂

They must be a fan of Robot Wars.

Apart from the less than expected range the Cybertruck seems to get almost uniform thumbs up for everybody that have actually driven it. It's not boring so thumbs up from me too. The product really seem to be triggering as seen in thread. Seems almost exclusively by the same folk who appear are not to be the biggest Mr. Musk fans.

The functional design of the vehicle appears solid apart from the sharp edges of panels that can actually injure you. I don't get that particular design. I'm sure the edges will eventually be made safe with some additional improvements in production.

Nope, the yanks love it especially the Floridians.

It would not be a new Tesla product if the build quality did not suck at the beginning. And nothing brings more clicks than a "TESLA PROBLEM!!!!!!". It really sounds like a product that was brought to the market before it was ready and many owners definitely wanted to be the first to have one before anybody else. This has applied to all of their new models apart from perhaps the Y so should not be a huge surprise that the quality is patchy at the start if you know how they have operated in the past.

But doesn't take away from the fact that it has good bones: The engineering of the drivetrain and battery is solid and well thought out, it is very agile for its size due to the 4WS digital steering, and the design is non-boring (=devisive). Once the workers learn to build them properly and most of the glaring problems, which there are a good few, are fixed and recalled it will be good owner experience.

There is no way in hell I would ever even consider buying one. They are total opposite of what I'd like but doesn't stop me liking how it's designed. Driving one here in Ireland would be the worst ever experience.

It won't be built properly because I can guarantee it's next on the chopping block. They'll learn from it and maybe do some sensible vehicle that's more linear with their other 3 vehicles.

Cybertruck is not a permanent fixture. I'd say theyve pissed money on it.
