- I know i'm in the minority but i love how that thing looks. I don't like elon musk but it's such a cool looking vehicle!

  Yes, in a late 1980s post-apocalyptic movie, it would work very well.

  The thing absolutely has potential, just not as a truck.

How is this news. A car can be towed for several reasons other than mechanical problems.

- It's not out yet and it's already been illegally parked

- Yeah my first thought is if it's not for sale yet, then maybe this isn't a mechanical failure

  As it's not released, it's probably illegal (contractually) to drive it on a public road. This is likely more akin to seeing tech writers with unreleased hardware.

- Reading the article would indicate the truck was towed for being parked illegally.

- Any excuse for Tesla bad

  One of those lemmy mob buzz words.

  You're being downvoted, but only because you're absolutely right and you've upset the circle jerkers.

  So people like Musk.

This car reminds me so much of the one designed by Homer Simpson. Even Cybertruck as a model name makes me cringe, and this is coming from someone who quite likes the existing Tesla models.

- It looks like someone drew the outline for it in crayon on a napkin, then demanded it be put into production.

  More like some one stole from the set of some junky 80’s sci-fi action flick. damnation alley or maybe tango and cash…

A stupid truck deserves a stupid headline, I guess?

12
- It doesn't even deserve an article.

I hate that I like the look of this truck. I hate everything else about it, and want to be fully on board with the hate train having fun poking at this monstrosity, but I just can’t help but have some shit taste when it comes to the look of trucks…

- Maybe the concept. Or edited photos from far away. Take a realistic, close-up look, and prepare to be disappointed. And the steel seems about as "fun" to take care of as a boat.

- I mean, if there goal was to recreate some 90’s era video game graphics for nostolgia. Megarace, maybe.

- At least it's different. I can't tell one truck from another. GMC, Ford, Ram, Chevrolet, they look exactly the same.
  
  And why do you want to join a hate train? Love trains are better ❤️

Why is this car rendered in such bad quality?

It just occurred to me that these things look sort of like the Zumwalt class stealth destroyers. Has anyone tested this thing against police radar guns? I mean it's still ugly as hell, but if it's harder for the cops to bust you for speeding...

- The front is flat. It will be a perfect mirror for the radar. If anything it will be easier to lock on to.

I really don't understand why Musk insisted on bringing what should have been just a concept vehicle to market.

4
- People put down money for it years ago.

  Which Tesla never should have done. It should have always been just a proof of concept at best.

The Cybertruck reminds me of this but worse.

- Perfection.

It was towed because it was illegally parked. Read the fucking article you dumb, easily outraged, musk fluffers. This article is nothing and you're all getting so offended jfc.

1
- You seem to ve the only one who is offended

Alright I hate Musk and dislike Tesla and the Cybertruck as much as the next person, but isn't this the time where you'd expect to see it get towed? It's being put to real test for the first time, of course stuff is gonna go wrong. If it were any other company I'd say they're ironing out the kinks but I think they'll just gloss over them or sweep them under the rug.

I mean... A product that isn't finished being towed makes sense, no? It's not looking great of course but it isn't too weird.

"Tesla bad, keep buying shitty gas vehicles"

oil and auto makers

- Just FYI, there are >20 other electric car makers in the market right now. A couple of those beat Tesla by a good margin, more than half have electric cars below 40k €.
  
  21
- My next car will be an electric car. It will not be a Tesla.
  
  Furthermore, why are you blaming the consumer when corporations do the majority of the carbon pollution?
  
  15
- "Tesla bad, buy better quality electric cars from other manufacturers owned by people less terrible than musk"
  
  - Actual people

  I know it's not a common opinion here, but there's nothing remotely close to Tesla in terms of bang for the buck (whole experience, features, autopilot, charging infrastructure, power, range).
  
  What are the ones you have in mind?
  
  1
- Tesla is bad though. Everything about their business seems to be catered to stupid people.
  
  Literally the only good thing must has ever done in any of his ventures seems to be releasing the Tesla plug connector to other manufacturers.
  
  And even that I'm not convinced is good long term.
