Cybertruck: no thread here.

Co-worker has one. It’s interesting and pretty cool for what it is. I’ll see if I can drive it sometime soon.
 
I noticed at the Kansas City Tesla dealer they got a bunch in this week. I didn’t look real close, but I’d bet there are 10-20 of them on the lot.
 
Saw 1 for about an hour while killing time. Not my thing, fer shuuure.

A few random observations:
  • The front trunk (fuck the word "frunk") is big enough to hold 3-ish 1-gallon paint cans, maybe a midget's golf clubs?
    • I'm guessing it's just to hold your purse.
  • Edge finishing on the stainless sheet sides is impressive - no burrs and consistent brushed finish.
  • Tires have "aggressive" sidewalls as is the current trend in truck tires, but the tread is straight-up vanilla EV all-season.
  • Saw a couple wrapped (ugh, adding maintenance requirements to a stainless panel :homer:) - uniqueness cred., I guess.
  • It's like a mutant EV crew-cab El Camino got liquored up & raped a DeLorean . . . and then here we are :laughing:
 
Supposedly one or two rolling around Springfield. Suppose I'll avoid making eye contact with them so that my eyes last longer.

Still see a few Rivians every week.

That sidewall is designed to fit the hub caps that no one is receiving because they were rubbing through the tire sidewall :homer:

Below is the original and supposed fix.

Tourist was in town for our fireworks show over the 4th of July. He walks up and points at the Gladiator and asks "what does that do that a Cybertruck won't?" I replied "Gladiators are currently available for purchase, and Cybertrucks are not." Pretty much the end of that.

Right now, CT does not have programming for lockers. So the JT could likely go a Lot of places the Tesla can’t.

How was that supposed to be a good idea? Seems like a designer was let loose with know practical experience on vehicle dynamics

Whole thing looks like it was drawn in Minecraft!

Tech nerds designing cars. I'm more impressed the idea made that far that it was already set for the production tires.
 
This was his fuck around project probably to go along with SpaceX and futuristic shit.

Also, whats his fascination with the letter X?

When the owner went to leave, he was bombarded with people asking questions and wanting to take pics. The look on his face, you could tell the attention was worth every bit of the sticker price. The ultimate in attention whore status symbols this week.

Leaving church lunch yesterday, the horde of old guys mobbed a shiny new Honda Trail 125. "Back in my day, we had Trail 90s!"

I mentioned the Cybertruck to one guy, and he said "Cyberwhat? What's that?" :laughing:
 
I want one.

The more miles we do in our rivian the more I like it, I'm starting to like it so much I am thinking about a totaled R1T with a flat bed as my work truck.

We just took the Rivian to bfe Utah for days of backpacking, range is not an issue, just have to plan.

I have seen 4 or 5 on the road now. Saw one yesterday in the in-n-out drive through in Davis. Had graphics from a pest control contractor on it and looked like pest control stuff In the bed.

X2 on them being way bigger in person than they look in pictures.
