Complete opposite to most here.
I love it, think it looks great because it looks so utterly different to all the 'normal' cars/trucks you see on the roads these days and have for how many decades now?
Why be bold, when you can be boring? I guess also there will be the usual bias for both sides who either hate it or love it due to being Tesla.
Agree, I find it refreshing. And yeah, it's typical Tesla product reaction so far.
I'm a mega tesla fan, if I had the money I'd buy a cyber truck.. On the other hand I'm worried.. I don't see this thing selling to the masses I seriously hope I'm wrong... This was the first time I thought Elon might be mad.. Its either genius or a mega flop.. Though I suspect the upper and lower parts are seperate and they can drop a new body on if this design flops
They aren't trying to sell this one to the masses. They won't be able to produce enough of them for that. I think people expecting this to flop are going to be surprised when the reservation numbers are shared, which I assume they will be at some point. I've been scanning various websites for reaction on the Cybertruck and a common reaction is that people are confused and shocked at first and it hits them right in the "WEIRD" centre of the brain. Then they warm to the design and some find themselves reserving the thing. All in the space of mere hours. Others aren't won over on the looks that quickly, but find the specs and price appealing. It won't win over everyone, not even close, but it doesn't need to. Some people love it and probably enough people will order it.
But you're right that if it is a flop it can be changed. Elon specifically said that if too many people hate the Cybertruck, which he knew would be divisive, they would bring something more mainstream to the market instead. Of course they may do both, and I don't think this Cybertruck will be a flop.
