So they're hideous and lemons.

Had the entire industry, and he squandered it.
I’m sad because this may set back EV sales from all companies.

Big Awl's secret weapon?

the Libs, his primary buying market. Well played, Stupid.

'Butt Ugly'

work of art compared to that thing.

Clark Griswold can finally die in peace.

I'd buy one every day of the week before I bought one single Tesla.

of my nose! I LOVE that movie and this was perfect!

The best description I've read, is that it looks like Mad Max's contraption.



It's in there somewhere...

Hahahahaha Eloon. And now you have ruined Tesla too. EETD

#EETD Everything Elmo Touches Dies

That truck would have to wash itself, change it's own tires and pleasure me daily for me to buy something that looks like an ugly tank from the movie Robocop.

I understand that they're supposed to be ugly; they are for killing, after all.

But tankers think they are beautiful because form follows function 100%. It has to. A tank can't have a pretty paint job, or beauty panels.

Anyway, just a thought from an old tanker.

if this was supposed to be a tank.

My platoon sergeant when I was in Germany had a classic 1950's pick-up truck with a pearly-pink finish. At the end of the day, we used to pile in the back, just like in the movies, for a ride back to the barracks. Not a pick-up truck guy, but his was nice.

Somebody should have consulted a 6 y.o. kid about the design -- it wouldn't be so ugly.

bags of grain or bales of alfalfa I could fit in that thing? I can put several weeks worth in my old HHR but this "truck"? Bwahahaha, I would get laughed out of the parking lot at the feed store!

I love that little truck!

I can imagine this scene, one of the Tesla trucks (HAHA) Beverly Hillbillied, with Granny in her rocker with her gun etc. and a big old slobbery dog. That is likely the future of people in this country anyway. A couple of goats would look cute in this truck.

Unlike some. Ahem(cyberstank)

Excluding the structural support/frame and underbody, I thought most car companies decided the newer materials like carbon fiber for the body panels were better than steel because they don't rust and it is really the frame that is important when it comes to crash safety.

I think the only exterior panel of my car that is steel is the hood (I presume it has to be made of steel due to the amount of heat from the engine)

Maybe Elon was trying to court the survivalists? (Is the steel thick enought to stop small caliber bullets?)

a vanity vehicle that is a huge waste of potential.

Or his buddy Trump.

Saw one on the road a few weeks ago. I was just astonished by its ugliness. Sat next to it at a light. Gave me a chance to look it over. Man, what a waste of resources. Nothing but a vanity, see how cool I am, purchase.

When I saw that that's what ILL-loon was unveiling as the "next big thing," I told my blockhead father to sell his Tesla shares.

He didn't. And as you can imagine, we don't bring it up whenever I see him.

The Aztec. That thing beat the shit out of a Nissan Cube in terms of ugly.

For sure.

the Volkswagen "Thing"?

And based on the way you say it, it sounds like I should be grateful! 😂

Definitely ugly. I can see the “Volkswagen” in it; it looks like a squared off Beetle.

Staff cars for Nazi officers in many cases, but for 1,001 other uses as well.

It is a consumer variation of the German WWII type of jeep.

I had a Bug and a Ghia myself and good memories of the VW day camper we had. That camper is what I learned to drive on.

I have begged him to leave it to me, I love it. I learned to drive via The Thing and an old column-shifter Rambler.

Distinctive, for sure, especially the way pieces kept falling off it.

I'd add Gremlins, Pacers, Yugos, and The Thing.

And i also thought it was totally unappealing, esthetically speaking.

i will never afford a cool car
so maybe an odd car....

i had a gremlin and loved it.

Now that the CIO who was really running the company has quit, watch for much darker times for this company. If the board doesn’t oust Elmo, it will get much worse.

He wants his truck back.

I swear, if not Mad Max, then it looks like this thing was built for some other 1980s, post-apocalypse movie.

If it doesn't start at :40, fast forward there

That’s…bad doesn’t begin to describe it. Terrible is still inadequate. Terribad might be a beginning, but still weak. 😂

But as to the “cyber truck”, yeah, it fits in that waste of ~ 1 minute that I will never get back. 😉

Remember the Delorian?

going to clean the insides of those windows?

A fool and his money, will soon be parted.

Fugly = f**king ugly

and calling them "the creators." I doubt I'll live to see it, but it would be a glorious renaissance.

the Tedsel.

Runs like Flintstones.

Stupid, 9 YO design.

DOES happen on occasion.

They don't even know how to make stainless steel? But they're cutting edge engineers?

truck if you can't load 2 x 4's, sheetrock, plywood, cement blocks, or bags of concrete into it and haul them to the job? The damn thing won't even fit a bicycle!

Lol. Too much tech?

I’ve never seen anything so ugly

Except those actually were built for a purpose, unlike Eloon's vanity project. It also proves that all of his taste is in his mouth. That thing looks ridiculous.

We know how the Boeing 737 MAX turned out because they wanted to save money and not do safety designs.

And it broke?

Yeah. That was a hint.

Where are all the tesla apologists?

Oh well.

to look like a stealth fighter.

Either Playboy or Penthouse (can't recall). I was doing research for a middle-school project on "Cars of the Future" and that article showed up in a literature search - the cool librarians at South Alabama got me ILL photocopies and I relied on the info heavily (I didn't see the color versions for years).

It wouldn't surprise me AT ALL if Elon once saw that same article and instead of just doing a report, tried to make it happen without doing any use-case research etc.

I mean where the f**k do you have AAA tow it

hope you have the extra special towing package from AAA

yep thats a dealer network you can trust

There's a service center 5 mintues away from my house. Very convenient!

Although not impossible, I'd be a little suspicious of some of these complaints.
