When the cybertruck was first announced I was interested solely due to how unique it was, and for taking it out into the wilderness for camping with a giant battery. Now, I won't even consider even owning anything with the Tesla name. No way in hell.
The thing is so ugly tho, I just can't get behind it. Well, I mean, Elon is a large reason now, but even before that.
Yeah. It is well worth watching Simone Giertz's "Truckla" videos. She took her tesla (one of the sedans) and basically turned it into an el camino style "truck". Has a few problems (it leaks when it rains... which may not have been her fault considering it is a tesla) but looks surprisingly "fun" and is actually a fundamentally better design as it would allow tesla to reuse frames and production processes... the same way every single other company does it. Pop a lift kit (because everyone knows a truck that you have to strain to lift stuff to load it is better?) and you are good.
Would even appeal to all the liberals who want a truck for hauling but don't want to drive a giant f150 to compensate for penis envy. Which is probably why musk went from "That's cool. You should come to the cybertruck event" to basically uninviting her (I forget if she was just specifically told to not bring Truckla or had to sneak in entirely).
