Cybertruck is built with an exterior shell made for ultimate durability and passenger protection. Starting with a nearly impenetrable exoskeleton, every component is designed for superior strength and endurance, from Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel structural skin to Tesla armor glass.
I think Tesla car designs are elegant, pragmatic and aesthetically pleasant.
This.. DEFINITELY isn’t.

It's like the Model Y had a baby with the robo-dog from the Black Mirror episode Metalhead ... a very big baby.
From a manufacturing engineering point of view getting all those straight seams of sheet metal at the edges to line up perfectly with a unified gap gauge is a challenging task. You can not hide high tolerances with those straight lines. Especially the ones at the acute angles where the sides of the rear cargo bed and the moving tailgate meet, will have to stand the test of time.
Also the shoulder lines trikes me as off. Above the front fender and on the doors they seemed to have used single bent piece of sheet metal, whereas the part above the rear fender seems to be separated. The bent shoulder line is continued with a separation, which breaks light differently. This enhances the perception that the rear door is misaligned.
Also with the lack of a paint job you can not sugarcoat anything. Light or more so the reflection of it will be brutally honest and reveal the slightest relative positioning difference between the doors and the rest of the body panelling.

Never mind that the window glass shattered. That's an easy fix. Kudos to Elon for doing what no other auto company does - bring a true "concept" vehicle to market, instead of just showing it at the car shows.

I'm bullish on Tesla. Elon the GOAT. This is great. Did you guys see the Demo , it beat a Porsche and pulled an F150 truck up the hill.

ReplicaSpecs look great. Design is very "different" to say the least. Price seems low for the specs and it being basically the first fully electric pickup truck. But from the design to the windows breaking on stage, it gives me an odd feeling about it being real. The only thing that gives it credibility is that people can pre-order it, and it would be very odd if that was not real.
Though the design is "different", it would be nice to start seeing something on the street that isn't just like everything else, but I wouldn't be unhappy if it was announced that this would actually be a concept for a mars rover.

Product HuntI've gotta wonder whether it would fit in a parking spot tbh. Plus it definitely gives off major Tardis vibes, appearing like there's much more space on the inside for passengers, than it may look like from the outside.

Wow, cool to see some design innovation! Makes me realize how static the broader car industry has been.
