    I’ve spoken about the design of the Cybertruck here before. I personally love it. I think the engineers deserve massive praise for getting something on the streets that looks so close to the concept.

    It’s a shame that Tesla made it. My comment was more to do with the fact that Tesla’s history of new model launches is well-known and very poor. If any other company made the CT I’d be trying everything I could to get my hands on one, but because it’s a Tesla, I wouldn’t touch one with a ten foot pole. I have a hard time sympathizing with anyone who can look past Tesla’s history and still buy one of their cars just because it’s the New Thing.

      I agree. I don’t think it looks abominable, I could get behind it if it wasn’t made by them. No matter the heft of windscreen wiper, there’s no clearing their history.

      Rivian looks like they have better fit and finish - but Tesla did too when they were a smaller company. Hopefully Rivian goes a different path.

      Not looking to for a vehicle myself, I’d still like to see alternatives to Big Auto have success in the market.
