  • Honestly, I like the look of the cybertruck. I know it’s not the popular opinion, but I like that it challenges the boring cookie-cutter pickup truck design.

    I think it bothers people that it doesnt fit the “traditional” idea of what a pickup should look like, but to me that’s a good thing. To me, the trad pickup design is ugly anyway. Ford F150? Ugly. Dodge Ram? Ugly. Chevy Silverado? Ugly! So yeah, the minimalist wedge-shape is a great way to shake up field. It’s a fun departure.

    I also like that it’s an EV pickup. But I wish it were better at being an EV pickup, instead of a glorified grocery-getter. It seems to fail at simple hauling / off-road / towing tasks.

    I do not like the build quality either. Or the stainless steel bodywork. Or the plastic bits. But many of these things could have been refined in later model years.

    And of course the elephant in the room: Musk put his musky stank all over it. It’s synonymous with him, and he’s a festering Nazi shit-pustule. So that kills it for me.

    I wish some other EV brand would have done the Cybertruck. I think in the right hands it would have been better.
