Tesla's Cybertruck
 

Apparently, this is not a joke...


:funnier::funnier::funnier:

It's hideous.

Make's the Pontiac Aztek look beautiful. :funnier::funnier::funnier:

I had to check the calendar, I thought it was April 1st for a minute. :funnier:

and not quite as bullet proof as they said.

I kinda like it.

Tesla is taking $100 refundable deposits, if you want to reserve one. Allegedly, they'll start building them in 2021, which is when you'll be able to complete your configuration. Deliveries should start in 2022. :funnier::funnier::funnier:

That's what happens when you let your long lost brother design a car.

It's a good thing that Teslas self combust. Saves the trouble of actually doing work to burn that abomination. I thought the Pontiac Aztec, or perhaps the AMC Gremlin were the ugliest vehicles ever. It appears we have a new challenger.

AMC Pacer ?

Kinda looks like a prop from the set of Bladerunner.

Why change. The rest of his cars are ugly so may as well make the truck ugly to.:cert:

Sort of appropriate I guess. The original Bladerunner was set in 2019.

But with my username, it would be awesome.

Reserve yours now.

:cheers:

Blade Runner 2049.:D

Looks like they tried to do an episode of "Nailed it" with this as the objective..... but failed :rofl:

To quote Kramer, "Look away, I'm hideous".

And the bullet proof glass. So, no one tested it before the unveiling. Dumbass'.

I'd bet a dollar they tested it before the unveiling. :yesnod: They set up microscopic cracks from the "in house" testing and when they hit it again for the unveiling, it failed. :lol:

A local company makes some of the windows for the stealth fighters and bombers. They test X numbers of pieces out of the lot but any piece tested is NOT shipped for use and it is stressed by the impact.

Exactly, any part tested shouldn't be used for another test. But that's about par for the course with a company that burns money by the billions and repairs that take glacial time.

Where do you put all your stuffs?

In the Tron future, you don't need material things. Your body also repairs itself while you sleep each 20 minutes per 24 hours.

23 hours, 40 min of fapping seems like a lot.

:lol:

If this had happened at Ford - and, without exaggeration it never would have with a modern pickup/SUV - the 1-3 marketing managers and their chosen display show supplier would be looking for new career opportunities by Monday morning. They did not “protect” the brand or their busy senior management from themselves. Engineers and designers know very little about these sorts of presentations and shouldn’t have to be concerned - that’s Marketing’s main responsibility. In watching it, the reveal was a fail on so many levels (sound, lighting, validation of claimed technology, Musk’s extremely unprofessional profanity, scripting without flow or answering obvious questions, and the sense of school-boyish fraternal vibe that didn’t genuinely respect the Tradesmen/Tradeswomen who lead/build our economy and awesome country every day. They acted like kids. that got away with something instead of respecting the target customer (Sportsmen/Sportswomen ...who have reliable access to 220V where they hunt/fish/play - and, perhaps illegal drug runners and preppers needing bullet proof stuff); and, all without explaining or properly demonstrating exactly how their expensive new technology (and, shape that was obviously not greatly market-researched ?) can clearly benefit their customer’s lifestyle. Who the heck in our American automotive industry does that to premier such a proud brand as Tesla.
This reveal will be bottled and shown in future Marketing 101 courses (the long used Edsel fail was getting a little out of date) and extremely difficult for them to recover from, and probably spilling over a little to their remarkable cars’ image and trustworthiness.
Wall Street analysts are not the brightest bunch - they are starry-eyed about technology, chasing the latest shiny object - yet, even they’ve already written off this poorly executed experiment.

You get one chance to make a good impression. In our industry that means a LOT of up-front work. They slacked and it cost them, big. Wish it wasn’t an American fail case.

I'm thinking more & more that there's a Tesla in my future, but it won't be that one.

You can put a Trump bumper sticker on that puppy with confidence!

:Jeff '79:

Will it tow a 5000lb boat with gear in the bed of the truck 200 miles? :D

Maybe Elon Musk is just running some kind of social experiment - see how ridiculous he can behave and still have his cultists defend him.

Or maybe he is changing the shape of things to come :island14:

Remember the old saying: "Early bird gets the worm"

he could learn a lot from studying Steve Job's presentations and the prep that went into them.

ditch diggers cuss. CEOs are supposed to sell you the product.

and how about the unanswered questions? i can throw a can of spare gas in the back of my truck, what happens with this thing? jar of electrons?

Quit thinking negatively.

Shocking he'd spin it that way. We're conducting a civil conversation, but there's a lot of resistance here. There's a potential for so much more, in the current year.

yo Elon, suppose i buy one of these things. and next year, in spring, i want to go see my parents in Wyoming. 900 miles each way. we normally stop in Cheyenne overnight. pretty sure our hotel does not have a recharging station. there is an Exxon station about 1/2 mile away where we normally fill up. assuming i can find an outlet, does this thing work on 110V? what if someone flips the breaker or unplugs me overnight. will i have to wait another day to complete my trip?

I was making a proton electron charge jole

Ohm my God!

You can create routes on their website for charging stations.

All them eletrickel jokes/replys above reed like summfin I wood say......

gewd thinkin.......

Saw a video of a tug of war between the Musk truck and a F150, so the Ford spun the back tires, but at least it had posi, trick is if it had 4wd it may have won the contest.....maybe some weight in the bed too??

:confused5:

Seems minimal to me. :island14:

Deductive reasoning is reasonable. :hurray:

Beat me to it. Musk was utterly unprepared, perhaps stoned, (perhaps both, likely had little to do with the actual design and build of the vehicle, zero marketing strategy other than “Holy **** that thing is weird but it has an air compressor!”

Sad. I’d drive it.

Over the last several days I've been around about a dozen millennial/gen-z kids. The subject of Cybertruck came up and every single one of them said they thought it was awesome and wanted one.

Every one of them. Three were women.

Guess what the demographic of the Cybertruck is? It ain't y'all!

Tesla is still phukked in that instance then. They'll have a smash hit vehicle when (if??) it comes online and the target demo will be unable to afford it.

That sold me....order placed

:iagree:

bought one for my Asian wife also :dixie:
