I don't see how anyone could take it seriously when the introduction was to show how unbreakable the windows were.

From the looks of the crash test results, I might have to buy one of these to get in on the lawsuits that will come from those who are maimed in accidents with them.

I value my bones too much to bother doing that. But seriously, a lot of people are gonna get hurt.

This doesn't look like a car nor a truck it's a combat vehicle. Seriously, who's impressed by Elon's shooting and steel ball demonstrations? In what kind of failed state do these Tesla customers live? With a tank hull for a frame and sharp edges all around this looks like a serious safety hazard for passengers and especially pedestrians outside the car.

Don't forget in this apocalypse you have reliable charging infrastructure

Wood gasification, people will be driving it'll just look like the Beverly hillbillies come to town rather than madmax.

Hummers were a thing. I can easily see those same people buying this.

The article talking about a Cybertruck racing a Porsche

Electric motors accelerate cars faster than ones with internal combustion engines, so this wasn’t a fair fight.

Nobody's permitted to compare electric cars with internal combustion because electric is faster? I don't understand the logic.

Because it isn't a real brag. It is an apple to oranges comparison.

It's shaped like the 1980s Dust Buster.

Why is this thing so goddamn ugly? It's like the designers took all the worst sci-fi vehicles from movies and smushed them into one.

I hate the design a little less now than when it was first revealed. Will reserve my judgement untill I see one in person

Oh wow, it's actually made from stainless steel and not some shitty mild steel. I should get me one, this would be a lifesaver in Michigan

Get a DeLorean; it would be more off road capable.
