Two on consecutive days. actually.  My eyeballs are still burning.  What a hideous monstrosity - it's even uglier in real life than in pictures.  And it's more than just its aesthetics - it looks really cheap to me, like its panels don't fit together very well, and several of its pieces (like it's fender flares) look like they were bought from JC Whitney (are they still in business?) and tacked on.  I've read that it's very difficult (and expensive) to build with its flat stainless steel panels, and it shows.  It's sad to think our roads, parking lots, and driveways will soon be littered with these grotesque abominations.

 

I see only one solution:  Ferrari needs to reintroduce the 246 Dino, upgraded to modern (but not too modern) standards, of course, and sell them for about $20K.  Hopefully there would be enough people with good taste to flood the country with them, countering the Cybertruck's coming assault on the collective aesthetic with the beauty of arguably the best looking car ever made.  I'll buy the first one (the Dino, not the Cybertruck...)

The members of the Maserati forum I’m on , unanimously agree with the above opinion of the cyber truck, AND especially the solution to counter its ugliness by flooding the market with Dinos .

It's interesting that while I think the majority of people think the Cybertruck is weird, there are quite a few who think it's drop-dead gorgeous. Just goes to show it's impossible to be too outrageous - there's always some segment of the population who will love it. 

 

I'm a lot more accepting of things that are "different" if they add some new or unique utility or functionality, but the Cybertruck looks pretty useless as a truck - it's huge on the outside, doesn't look very big on the inside, and its "bed" doesn't look like it would carry much.  It's just different for the sake of being different, which to me seems just plain stupid, especially given its price.  But it's a free country (thank goodness), so to each their own.

 

But I have to add, when I saw the first pictures of it, I had to check my calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1.

Very funny - hopefully it's true that it was just a stunt, and the guy wasn't wearing a functional headset while driving.

 

I wonder what it would cost to repair a Cybertruck in the event of a fender-bender.  I heard a story on the radio of a guy getting a $45K bill for repairing some minor damage to the bumper of his Rivian, apparently out of concern over possible damage to the battery pack.  I would imagine that repairing even the most minor damage to the Cypertruck's flat stainless steel panels (if you could even find a shop willing to take it on) would cover the cost of a well-optioned 296GTB.  I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing piles of 'totaled' Cybertrucks involved in minor collisions, kind of like what owners of what Lotus Elises and Exiges went through due to the difficulty and expense of repairing the one-piece nose and tail sections of those cars.

Even better, there are report of the trucks “rusting” from sitting in the rain. I haven’t seen pictures, but 8 imagine us more corrosion from acidic rain drops leaving corrosion after drying in the sun.

Just saw one next right next to us , on the highway, as we were driving back from brunch . I can only echo that it is indeed as ugly ( actually uglier ) in person than it shows in photos, and that assembly of tin plates look as if they were recklessly fit together by a four-year-old to create an aesthetic insult to the automotive world . 

 

p.s.  does anyone have a suggestion for a good floor mat cleaner which can remove vomit stains ?

Hard to believe the same company that conceived this:

created the ugliest vehicle to infest our roads since the Pontiac Aztec.

No kidding !    Not sure why they discontinued the roadster but I read they're back in production again.  Hopefully they won't screw up the design.

I'd rather have the Aztek. There is a cyber truck running around here as well as few just as nasty looking Rivian's as one of our local thief's I mean politician's is invested in the company...

Sorry forgot to use the inside voice. At least the Aztek didn't have all the electronics the new cars have that don't work properly. And a tent.

The Beverly Hills Hotel saw its first cyber truck also !   



   

 

 

I think the driver took the “ drive it ‘till the wheels fall off “ a bit too literally…
