Nah, they don't think that deeply. The lifted truck crowd sees them as competition through either the "Eww, EVs" angle or "Aww hell naw, I need moar trukk!!"
Cybertruck gets hate (and love) because it's the embodiment of Elon. This is the first thing I think he ever really had say in. He's not as smart as people think he is, he's just a rich guy with ideas who makes other people do the work. This was his idea and it shows
This. He's just an elderly edgelord with a lot of money desperately trying to be cool but missing, that's it. The less he's involved with the products of brands he buys the better unless the target audience is dudes just like him.

@@digidol52 I actually designed a car as a teenage boy, a wedge, all flat surfaces and sharp edges (because: cardboard!) and yes, cuber truck has that feel. I still have it and my wife says my design looks better, like a modern day lambo...
Poor Homer, he isn't anything like Elon, Homer was naive and pushed for weird but useful things in his vehicle, but Elon, he just drew a polygon in a napkin while high on ketamine and made his workers build that thing...as best as they could.
My sister saw one in Florida - she could not believe it. She has an old portacabin on her land that has collapsed at one end - she said it looks like someone put it on wheels. She is a standards European normie - knows nothing about Musk - just a reaction to the truck
My nextdoor neighbor bought one. It's so ugly, there really aren't words. At night it looks like The Joker, with the row of LED lights wrapping the front. In daytime, it looks like a chrome plated roll off. Truly, horrible.
I think a lot of people fall for his ability to talk like an engineer despite not being one. I've softened my opinion on it. I'd never own or buy one though.
Well, actually they also said it could never be built (with the features Musk promised). And it turned out they were right (and even though it just looked like the car that was promised but didn't come with the features it still costs 3 times the promised $)
Not to mention if it is involved in a significant accident it cracks the battery and then thermal run away until it cooks its occupants. Last two single car accidents into trees and they both burst into flames one Y and one cybertruck. 4 occupants in both vehicles, only one was able to be pulled out after bystanders tried to rescue them. All windows are laminated can’t break them. Doors loose power and can’t open them. So people just have to watch the occupants burn alive. It’s sad and sickening actually
And you need a licence for a small truck to drive it because it is so heavy. Edit: Normal license is for vehicles up to 3,5 tons and I think the cyber truck was heavier. So you would need a special more expensive license.
@@muellermat In Germany, this would also mean that Cybertrucks must follow the same speed limits that trucks do: 70 km/h (45 mph) outside non-builtup areas and 80 km/h (50 mph) on Autobahn.
Taking the turn signal lever, which is a universally accepted standard for automotive design, and redesigning it into a completely unintuitive button, pretty much sums up everything wrong with this vehicle.
@@Mububban23I’m American but I hate the button design. Annoying at intersections and you don’t know if the signal turned off or not, because if you don’t turn sharp enough it doesn’t turn off.
Typical tech-bro solution to a problem no one had, while also making things less convenient, and then expecting a round of applause. I'm starting to really hate living in the future.

"We basically have self-driving ready now. It'll be on the road next year and owning a non self-driving car won't make any sense." Elon Musk(paraphrased), 2016. We're nearly 10 years later and no self-driving in sight past a close course in a movie studio with painted tires. Musk fans are a great source of entertainment.
Yeah, we should deride anyone who has any ambition. If a technology doesnt work the first time we try it, it will never work. We got to the moon on the first try, after all. Look, I know its in vogue to laugh at Elon, and he even deserves some of it, but I hate the prevailing attitude I described above.
If it had been exactly the same car but not looked like a Fiat Multipla in an undersized three-wolves-moon shirt it might have been a hit. The styling thoroughly doomed it at the time.
Under powered and too odd of a design to catch on. There were a lot on the road in Detroit and you could buy one at a discount. We enjoyed ours, but the engine continually overheated after 40,000 and the car became unreliable.
Ironically, the Aztek made me genuinely start liking the idea of having a car. I was still young enough not to know what "Pontiac" as a brand concept really was, and wasn't much of a car person early on, so when I was old enough to drive I had thought maybe I'd get one someday. Then again, I also had an '83 El Camino for my actual first car and loved that shit. Weird/unusual tends to be my wheelhouse of tastes, I guess. And the Cybertruck is both, but in the worst fucking ways lol

There's nothing wrong with thinking into the past perse Personally I'm all for a return of folded paper aesthetics my favorite design language besides art deco.

Aside from the DeLorean, nobody has ever made a production car in stainless steel before. And there is a reason for that: Stainless steel poses all sorts of construction difficulties. Unfortunately, Tesla didn't really address any of them. Some day in the future, somebody might.

I'm genuinely astonished something like this is even allowed on the road. It's because of absolutely disastrous cars like this being made completely legal to manufacture and drive that the US is somehow one of the few developed countries that has its road mortality *increasing* for the last two decades. Monstrosities like that should not be allowed on the road. Just at a glance, you can tell that it falls extremely short of safety standards and will totally wreck whatever it touches. This vehicle is just ..... baffling
In America we actually have space so we don’t drive around pedestrians very much and also just expect people to have common sense and be safe so we don’t ban whole sectors of the industry for dumb biased commie reasons.
The Cybertruck is the quintessential American car: needlessly large, offensively ostentatious and violently puerile. It's a very heavy middle finger to the world.
The more i learn about the Cybertruck the more it feels like it was designed by an overexcited 10 year old who just finished a mountain dew fueled 8 hour Halo marathon.
When the cybertruck was unveiled I thought, "Wow, this is a long ways to go for a prank. Wonder what the actual truck will look like." I took a while for me to accept this was it. The Simpson's episode was exactly what I thought of the design itself.
@@lukeplaisier8636 And that's probably what's really so wrong with it now. Musk was so stubborn about the visual styling that everything else had to be built around that. The steel panels were supposed to be structural but they couldn't get that to work so now it's more or less just dead weight glued to the frame.
For me Tesla had also to do with a cool guy making cool innovative cars. But now Musk is behaving like an idiot, supports Trump, hates Ukraine and that's changing my feelings for Tesla. And I think the typical Tesla buyer is not a Republican but a Democrat. And these people start to hate Tesla as I do, especially in California.
The Cybertruck has all the charm and aesthetic of a prison toilet. I literally hate seeing them... and I live in the Bay Area, so I see these shitboxes A LOT.
Your assessment of the "Narcissist buys company and takes credit for other people's work/accomplishments then micromanages it even though he's so tone deaf and blind to his own limitations and failings the company crashes and burns like he's Hellen Keller piloting an F-16" is spot on I think.
@@ryanwalker9599 Yes. Many. It's my job to make sure they have what they need to do their job. I never take personal credit for their work and always emphasis their importance and contributions to our team effort. I don't belittle and demand and threaten them. I don't have to. That will only ever get you the minimum effort necessary. I simply ask and I get more out of them than Elon ever could. Because they believe and trust in me they give me the maximum effort possible.

From what I have heard about the development of the Cybertruck, the only people to tell Musk "no" was the Federal government, and they only said that the Cybertruck had to have rear view mirrors on the driver and passenger side.
Tesla is a cult, not just the fan base but the company. It's why Elon's 55 BILLION dollar paydeal was struck down. The Tesla board is full of Elon cronies who agreed to give Elon an absurd payout for no reason.
Didn’t say no to taking subsidies and burning tax payer money on the cyber truck or that rocket stunt he did instead of sending it to the Moom with a payload it like the government wanted it
I’m sure you personally know a lot of people on his team, people who work directly under Elon’s tutelage. And they told you that, right? They told you that it’s the evil State who’s behind this failure. Wow, aren’t you special?
The reading comprehension under this comment section has me at a loss for words. We are not ok. ANYWAYS, Yeah it's a really bad thing that elon is surrounded by yes men!

I’ve seen two cyber trucks in real life, and both times they produced sudden, unexpected, loud bursts of laughter. It’s the most amazing vehicle, in that you instantly lose respect for it and the tool who bought it as soon as you lay eyes on it. Never experienced it with any other car. Remarkable achievement.
Before or after BTTF came out? I think that movie is 99% of the reason people remember the DeLorean fondly. Hell, there's an 80s speakeasy in Denver called the DeLorean.
A car dealer neighbor of mine when I was a child had a limited edition gold plated DeLorean. If my memory serves me correctly, it looked like a gold colored stainless steal car and not shiny gold like one might think. What was particularly odd about it was the color of each body panel didn't really match. Now I'm wondering what happened to that car. 🤔

So, in 2006 I was at a halloween party, and I ended up talking with a friend there who was an engineer for Tesla, working on the roadster at the time. He covered at length that the business plan was to release a hypercar, that would fund a luxury sedan, which in turn would fund a mass market sedan. This plan was absolutely not Elon's. I have also talked to others who worked for Tesla about the time the 3 was being worked on, and they confirmed that the company has a team specifically to "manage" him, and keep him distracted on crazy projects so the rest of the company could function. The cybertruck is absolutely his distraction project.

@@vm_duc oh that must be it, rrrright. And what about it being the third most popular EV in the USA? I get not liking a vehicle - that is fine, everyone can have their own opinion. But this CyberTruck hate is just bizarre.
Saw a Cybertruck in Fort Wayne, IN a while back, and a custom paint job doesn't make it any less ugly. Probably helps prevent the known rust problem on the body but I'd hate to see the undercarriage after a winter on snowy salted roads. Provided it even survives a heavy winter.
I think it's hilarious that the winter after the Cybertruck debuts is projected to be the heaviest winter in years. Cant wait to see how they take to road salt
CyberRust won't kill Tesla. But it has exposed their lies. They are in big danger. Like the screen centric concept was always just so they can save a few bucks. Which means I will absolutely never own one, because not having controls like a dedicated physical volume knob is miserable and dangerous. Like when Maps accidentally thinks I want to talk to its garbage Assistant. There was an update at one point. If you scream at the Assistant to "f*** off" because it was 200dB higher than your music. It went on a long rant about how you shouldn't hurt the robot's feelings. While you were in traffic with Google Assistant drowning out the sound of an oncoming emergency vehicle trying to get by. This was horrifyingly, terribly dangerous. Luckily I had a physical volume button that I could mash to mute the robot. That physical button may have actually saved my life that day. Until voice control can immediately, reliably turn completely off the moment I scream "f*** off" I not only don't want any voice assistant, but I also want a kill switch.
Tesla was always going to be hype brand. Once the novelty wears off it becomes clear the products are nothing special and most "innovations" are jist solutions looking for problems. On top of that they just look bland and lack any character, and increasingly outdated as well. Eventually tesla needs to become part of a big legacy car manufacturer like gm to make use of scale and the ability to share platforms. And their ev tech can help their parent company then to move the entire concern forward technologically.
Exposed how they don’t care about the environment a SUV and Truck are worst and Elon try to stop any public transit project that are way better then a any EV a bus it better than a EV and that with it being diesel not an EV bus And on safety if they care why is everything on a tablet also that they cheap out with self driving their a resin waymo have all those stuff on it not just camera and a gps
My car is 20 years old. It has central locking, a back up camera, diagnostic and service reminders etc. All on a separate screen and controlled by buttons. You do not need to take your eyes off the road to drive or adjust most things.
They had to cancel when they realized that they would have had to wait 20 years for their truck to be built. And even a Tesla cultist will realize that it will be outdated and uncool by that time.
Cybertruck is the 3 most popular selling EV on the market, after the Model Y and Model 3. And, it's the most popular EV truck. Your taste isn't an indicator of popular opinion.

Well also the Toyota Prius with hybrid synergy drive. Before the Model S I was actually a big fan of hydrogen cars but Tesla & Toyota proved that hybrid and batteries are the best technology.
Elon is the Monorail guy from the Simpsons, and the Cybertruck is Atari diarrhea. The world has such a short memory nowadays that he doesn’t have to dip with his bag when his lies are exposed. He can just tell a new lie and everyone will forget about the last one.

There is a wrapped matte black one in my hometown and EVEN WITH A BLACK WRAP you can see the panel gaps from across the street. The quality control of Tesla has always been a joke but Cybertruck is next level clapped.
The only time I've seen a cybertruck in person, my first instinct was to point and laugh at it. That feels like a reaction no car company should possibly look for.
Honest question, I love vehicle design and interesting looking vehicles whether I personally like the aesthetics or not. I.e. I value the attempt to try something out of the box. Why do you despise this particular out of the box car?
@lhmmhl1 For me personally it just looks ridiculous. I like unique looking cars too but theres a difference between unique and bad and in my opinion the cybertruck is the latter
@@lhmmhl1it's a design that would be "neat" as a concept car. But once it gets out on the street and you see it in all it's panel-gapped angular glory, you realize, it should have stayed a concept. Plus it's dumpster shaped 🤷♂️

A fastback car is a bit generous, I think. To me, it looks like a rubbish skip that someone decided to turn upside-down and put four wheels on; something Jeremy Clarkson would do for giggles in one of his old christmas DVDs... Which he actually did, come think of it. It was a skip, a sofa, and I think a table. He got a bunch of BTCC and rally drivers along on a race track, and they had a go. Very funny for a christmas DVD feature, but as real proposition from a car manufacturer? Well...
If you found an Edsel in a garage or barn today in 2024, you could fix it up and get it into working shape and even drive it on the road. In the future, I don’t think you’ll be able to do that with any 70 year old Tesla cars. Think of all the specialized parts and technology, chips , software, and battery tech that may be impossible to find or duplicate in 70 years. And do the cars require an online connection with a server to work? Will that server and online service still be up and running in 70 years?

It will probably be easier than you think to get a Tesla going in 70 years. Sure you may not know much about electronics and hardware hacking but plenty of people do. There are people right now who make Doom run on things that shouldn't run it, just for fun. There's a guy who made an NES use Mode 7 graphics, something Nintendo themselves back in the day thought impossible. There are people who just because they can, publish simple guides online for how to wire in modchips to your PS3 so it can play anything you want. There are dudes who make literally rotting 80s computers run like new again just for funzies. What you've failed to understand is that while EVs are not mechanical vehicals, they are computer vehicles and there are more computer nerds than gearheads now (and that's likely to remain true indefently). The only real question is "will there be any reason to revive an old Tesla?" and the answer to that is up to the future.
You could make the same argument for basically any mid to high range modern vehicle. Maybe not the network part but the proprietary electronics the car requires to run. Most new cars have a CAN network that requires a minimum of a dozen separate “modules” (separate computer “boxes”) to communicate at all times and meet certain parameters to run and drive. Truth be told user serviceability on cars largely died off when CANBUS started being used instead of separate wiring circuits for all the sensors needed to operate the engine and transmission, which was the late 90’s to early 00’s.

Not to mention towing 8000 pounds it only gets 80-85 miles on a full charge down to zero and costs more to charge then a diesel truck to refill on the exact same trip with the exact same load.
If you were a local contractor with a trailer to haul around town, that puny range would be a day or two. Why does everyone see towing as a cross-country affair? I despise Musk and Tesla because of him and the “bro-box” is just more crap from the mind of megalomania, but for what most pickups do on the regular, a decrease in range for hard work is reasonable.
@markstevens1729 90 miles for a lot of contractors is less than a day might not even be 1 trip. In the U.S, a lot of them will sometimes drive 200 per day depending on the job. Not just to and from, but also supply runs because they couldn't fit it all in the truck or van. Speaking from experience having hauled for a contractor before at jobs far from both our homes. In short, it doesn't even always cut it for local, especially if the job doesn't have electricity on site.
@@markstevens1729”Cross country” should be the metric for towing, atleast for us here in Australia towing could be business related but for most its towing around a camper trailer. 90 miles or 145km is pathetic, depending on traffic conditions that would geofence you to roughly a 1 hr radius of your residence. Imagine only being able to go camping or for trades being able to accept jobs that are within 1 hour of your home.
The “futurism” doesn’t even feel like it’s from the century. Rather it feels like something someone from the mid 80s would think was futuristic. It reminds me of those shuttlecraft they had in the first couple seasons of Star Trek TNG.

All you need to know about Tesla is that the Model S launched in 2012 and hasn't been replaced. There are no other mass market family cars launched in 2012 that have not be replaced or do not have a replacement in the planning. Most of them were replaced before 2020.
Just asking out of curiosity, there have been revisions right? Most german brand cars like C class, bmw 3 also went through revisions but didnt go away. Sure with more redesign but i dont think they are still using the same motors or the same battery in the Mod S which would be the main components for an EV
You don't seem to be aware of the Tesla production-cell method. As Sandy Munro says, the legacy car makers think that the great thing about next year's model is that it has an extra cup holder and a different coloured fender. And those changes take two years to get approved.
@@AndrewBlucher Exactly. If car manufacturers made minor revisions to their models to fix problems and improve the product we'd have MUCH better and safer cars, and much less confusion and ambiguity for the consumer. The market would have a chance to establish fair pricing. Instead of fixing the issues of a current model, they come out with a whole new one with input from the marketing department with a new set of problems
That is the other half of the problem. MAGA types prefer to buy F-350s that roll coal, quite literally the opposite of a low emissions EV. Meanwhile, the primary market for Teslas has been yuppies, who are not big fans of outspoken MAGA types. It would be like Gerber changing their logo to a picture of Jeffrey Epstein.
It shouldn't be able to be sold here either. Our pedestrian deaths to vehicle traffic are already way higher than other comparable countries, and we're the only one of our peers who is increasing that stat.
It is sold in Europe by 3rd parties with a few modifications. Nothing major. The biggest change is the color of the rear lights. The panels? Legal if the edges are plastic capped. Easy.
@@pigeon.and.pigeon That's not my understanding. It's classified as a light duty vehicle under weight classification. This is under EU rules. I suppose local jurisdictions may have rules on top of that particular to that area.
Europe is not the biggest market for massive pickup trucks anyway.. I’ve lived in Sweden for 11 years, never seen a dodge ram or an F-150 on the road. I often road trip to Germany, Netherlands and Spain. I remember seeing a dodge ram once in the Netherlands and that think looked so shocking in that environment. Now I live in Dubai and let me tell you once Tesla officially make the cyber truck available in the middle eastern gulf they’d be selling like hot cakes! The price is currently astronomical here in the uae (second hand only) and I’ve already seen a bunch of them. There’s one in my gym wrapped in Matt black and I must say, it looks really nice. I own a model 3 and it’s the first not Toyota / Lexus. And I love the damn thing. And seeing that black cybertruck made me wanna buy one. And btw at least in this market the number of Chinese ev’s on the road is so minuscule. I hardly ever see any while Teslas are as common as Camrys used to be.
The Cybertruck is the vehicular version of NFT's. The idea at face value sounds appealing. But then you see how damn fugly it is and realize that the people promoting it are probably the people you blocked on social media, and the whole thing falls apart. Course I also deeply dislike that wedge shape design from the 80's so I am not impartial, but seeing the Cybertruck driving is jarring. I half expect to see a janitor chasing after it like a runaway industrial sink.
I love the clown quoting EV sales figures @24:22 acting like all these manufacturers moving under 10k units is some sort of great accomplishment when if I go and check the F150's sales numbers (the most sellingest vehicle in the US) they moved 46,444 units in January of '24 ALONE. The numbers these companies are moving of these boutique EVs does not justify the investment they've put into them when just making a normal pickup will outsell it hand over fist any day of the week for a fraction of the investment.
@@svetlinkarachorov4208 , you’re right. I do think Elon is running his companies well. What I am talking about is when Elon posts information or when he gets to political.
Self driving cars will absolutely be a thing. To a limited extent they already are, just not quite good enough for widespread use yet. But they will get there. Maybe next year, maybe next decade, maybe by 2050, but at some point you will have a car that can drive as well as a competent human driver on complex roads. They said computers would never beat humans at chess. Then a supercomputer did it. Now your phone can beat a grandmaster with the right app.
Starlink has been amazing for me. It allowed me to move to the mountains and work more from home, having a more balanced life as a very busy business owner. Your comment is simply stupid.
For me the very first time that I saw the Cybertruck I thought it was awesome because it looks like it was designed by a 5 year old and it's so ridiculous and just so hilariously bad that it makes it good. But then the way that it's engineered and built just makes me roll my eyes and try to maintain hope for humanity
That's what im saying. It was a bad comparison. DMC also had no other products and simply doubled down instead of looking for solutions to their mess. Tesla can easily subsidize the loss of Cybertruck by selling more 3s and Ys. It's likely going to be a flop for Tesla, but not what sinks it ✋️🙄

people are very interested in the CT too. Its value is im no longer spending $1200 each month on fuel so its the cheapest expensive truck ive ever owned . The savings in fuel alone are paying for it not to mention I never have to deal with stealerships and their $120 oil changes or trying to upsell me the stupid fluid flush and other BS.
@@icedout2322 "Very interested" The 97.5% cancel rate for preorders, and SUB 4000 units sold last year don't seem to match your claims. Go home stan. "The savings in fuel alone are paying for it" If we ignore the fact that electricity isn't free (easier to calculate, and not worth including for someone of your intelligence): Presuming ~10mpg (truck average in 2021) Presuming $4 per gallon. You'd have to drive 250,000 miles before you break even... So you clearly didn't do the math... In reality it would take even longer because all those "savings" don't account for wear and tear, or actually buying the electricity. I doubt if the battery could even last long enough to "break even". You'd probably end up another 60 grand in the hole before you did. "...not to mention I never have to deal with stealerships and their $120 oil changes..." Oh I see the problem; You're an 1D10T. No one with any brains takes it to the DEALERSHIP for an oil change, nor pays *$120* for one... " or trying to upsell me the stupid fluid flush and other BS." A scummy practice, but one only pulled on people that have zero knowledge about cars... Seems like you fit that demographic perfectly. I do have to admit, that the CT did reach its target buyer in your case: People with far, far more money than sense. You'd look a lot less foolish if you just accepted you fell for hype, instead of doubling down on your nonsense... Maybe at least do the math before you make BS claims again. Hold this: L
@@icedout2322 i cant wait for you to see the cost of battery replacement. oh and once you void that warranty by plugging in a toaster. oh the the insurance!! lets not forget the insurance. tiny fender bender might just total out the whole vehicle especially if the battery gets even the slightest damage.
If the cybertruck was a good quality car that worked well and was built well, it wouldn't matter that it looked weird or had basically no functional use. It would be a good luxury car. The problem is that is shitty quality.
It's the great filter. On one side you have ignorant truck nuts, EV haters and Elon haters. On the other side you have people that have actually driven the vehicle or otherwise understand it's comparative features.
If Elon had delivered, only on the price of 40k, it would have been a good vehicle, you could overlook the ugly design, the inconvenience of the stainless steel. But for 2~3x the price and half the value, as its a bad vehicle, and an even worse truck. It doesn't really have any value other than "looking cool". Worst of all, people buy Porsches, Lambos, and Ferraris for looking cool, not a stainless steel fridge on wheels. It always pays to under promise and overdeliver. The exact opposite of Elon's Motto.
He needs to deliver a cost reduced EV for under 40k, which I don't think will happen. My guess isn't just because of Elon's insistence on "innovation," but also because of massive inefficiencies in their production.
Stainless steel is hard to manufacture with. No one is complaining about it being inconvenient to use. You have never driven the truck. You know nothing about it except what trash tic Tok videos tell you. It's a very good vehicle. It's fast, powerful, a camping cheat code, handles like a sports car and has more technology than anyone else. Did Tesla under deliver? Not on the AWD version. They exceeded their promises on everything but the price. We got more range, more power, more towing, four wheel steering and steer by wire more than was promised. Is it worth the $80k? It's better than all other competitively priced trucks so yes. It will come down in price though. The RWD version will be $60k and drop from there.
@@tripzero0 it's got half the promised range, for twice the price. A barebones interior, horrible towing range. Ignore the Tesla marketing of acceleration, and fancy 48v bla bla bla, and look at it from a truck owners perspective, someone who actually wants a truck. It being bulletproof is a massive gimmick. I've never been shot at. I want a truck with a nice build quality. It doesn't have it. I want to go 500 miles without having to stop to charge. It doesn't do it. For 100k, I can buy the most top of the line truck, that gets a lot more range, has a lot more capacity for towing, has massaging seats. Has a proper bed where I can actually put shit and use, without the range dropping to miserable. All of that, would have been perfectly fine, for 40k I could live with 200 miles worth of range. And 100miles while towing, for 40k, but for 100k? For what? To say my truck is bulletproof? Tesla forgot what a truck was meant for and that's why 80% of the marketing is about it's speed and stuff. Also I have driven one. And PSA, the 4 wheel steering shit is 100% necessary, cuz the turning radius with it, is about the size of the titanic, without it, it would be even worse.
@@marcezs08 the AWD was promised with 300 miles range and we got 340. Are you talking about the 3-motor variant? As I said that particular one is a miss. 500 miles is about 6 hours of driving. You want your legs to swell and feel like jelly while having a full bladder for that long I guess that's on you. I don't drive 500 miles or even 300 miles everyday. When I did, it was fine. I stopped more for the humans than I did the truck. Meanwhile I use it daily for $10 a month in fuel. It has a very useful bed. Again, I own it and you don't so you are no expert on the truck. I am. Your arguments are invalid. The build quality is fine and the panels are scratch and dent resistant which is nice for more than just bullets if you ever off-road. The interior is simple, not bare bones. It's elegant and better than any vehicle I've owned or driven.
OK It's the hideous child of a non-equilateral triangle and a generic rectangle... When viewed as a 2-dimensional representation of a 3-dimensional turd Feel better yet?
Until the Tesla Cybertruck gets 4 or 5 stars in a NCAP safety test, I think the car is not just ugly but also extremely dangerous for its drivers and anyone it crashes into.
Does NCAP scores safety for people outside the tested cars? I've so many test methods I can't distinguish in my head now. Because I remember seeing pedestrian test, but don't know if it was NCAP test or not.
So do you have any data or factual evidence for your assertions, or just fee fees? Because thus far, there is no real world data to substantiate your claims. - NHTSA, IIHS, NCAP do not test every vehicle on sale. - Approximately 150,000 vehicles sold every year are not NHTSA tested - For example: not a single Jaguar, Land Rover, or Porsche model have an NHTSA rating - Regarding the CT specifically: “While it has certainly created a lot of buzz, it’s unlikely we would invest resources to test it unless it were selling in numbers comparable with other popular large pickups”. -Zero pedestrian fatalities to date
@@andrewdubose9968 you can’t send links in comments. Literally look up cybertruck safety and you’ll see articles from reputable sources. Plus, it’s banned in the eu for being too dangerous
What I also consider as a huge mistake is that he killed the cheaper Model 2 which was supposed to come in favor of the bullshit robo taxi, robo bus and Optimus.
one thing i find interesting I always thought you could just get any model of tesla and with FSD it becomes a robotaxi. now it turns out there will be a specific model for that and none of the current cars can do it.
@@BeachLookingGuythe „robotaxi“ is just the version without a steering wheel and pedals. Though its a clear case of ill believe it when i see it as FSD is just around the corner and releasing next year since 2018
One of the biggest reasons for the CT's 97.5% dropout rate is that it's virtually -- or entirely -- uninsurable, as in, you can't find an insurance company of any size or based in any state that's willing to underwrite these at any price. And that, folks, is a dealbreaker.
Why are people always trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to cars and trucks. The old models of the Tacoma, Civic, Ranger have outlasted every modern car so far yet companies want us to believe that the plastic electric toys are the future
If they could just use the old designs and slap in an electric motor instead id love it. But sadly there is a large amount of inability to stick with good designs.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 put everything on a apple tablet in the middle of the dashboard like a Tesla smh the auto industry should learn form the airlines industry that buttons, switches, and levers still have a places and don’t distract people
I would say: Make trucks smaller( as in not as long and maybe go back to being single bench cars or at least 3 door cars with reduced size rear bench) with leaving the bed size unchange. Good utility tracks are ones that have big bed size to overall size ratio. Especially if you try makeing electric trucks, but what do I know.
you forgot the marketing of the Edsel was that NOBODY was allowed to see the car until literally the night it was put on sale. the assembly issues were because Mcnamera (yes thst one) decided to build them on the same assembly line as other ford cars, which did not work
And when people finally saw the Edsel, after several years of hype about how fabulous and ground-breaking it was going to be, they were underwhelmed or actually scornful of it. Within weeks it was recognized as a major failure.
It was the concept of chasing Sloan's GM hierarchy that failed, maybe not the Edsel itself. Sure they're all the points that everyone knows about, but both Ford and Chrysler realize that that Buick segment of the market, the lower end premium, could be served way better by gussying up a cheaper model or stripping luxury one. DeSoto died the same year as Edsel, they both or position to fill gaps in a market which didn't really exist
Look up the Buick XP-300. Or like a '58 Continental. The Edsel looks insane in 2024, but I'm not really convinced if you put it in a line up with 4 other cars from that era that it even really stands out.
I was just a little girl the first time I saw an edsel. We were on the freeway, and mom asked me, "Do you know what kind of car that is?" I didn't hesitate a second, and said, "It's so ugly it must be an edsel!" One of the few times in my life she was truly proud of me. That edsel was traumatizingly hideous, but still not a patch on leon skum's w*nkpanzer.
@@davidfoster2629it's totally an after the fact rationalization of why it failed. 1958 styling for GM was hideous, Ford's offerings weren't that hot either. Really everything on the road looked antiquated compared to exner's brilliant 57/8 forward looks, too bad they were built so awfully. I'm not enamored with it, but I do like the front end styling. It remind me of the Packard Predictor styling concept, a fairly good interpretation of the pre-war formal upright grill for the jet age
I don't understand why car places always have to f up the most essential things in a car, like the gas/break pedals, making the steering wheel a weird shape, and hiding essential functions in an infotainment menu. The infotainment menu should only be for radio/music, backup camera and gps,thats it.
The DeLorean was also a complete lemon. 130 hp trying to look like a sports car. The parts are substandard, if any rust gets on the engine you need to sandblast or the parts will erode. The engine block will rot right through.
This is because of the electrical potential set up between iron and 300 series nickel-chrome-iron. Aluminium corrodes more slowly because of the oxide barrier. In "ordinary" cars all the steel parts are about the same potential.

Rewriting History Here
If you are here on 1st April, this is not a joke! This is actually believes it 😂
Your scientists were so preoccupied whether or not they could...
Not to mention if it is involved in a significant accident it cracks the battery and then thermal run away until it cooks its occupants. Last two single car accidents into trees and they both burst into flames one Y and one cybertruck. 4 occupants in both vehicles, only one was able to be pulled out after bystanders tried to rescue them. All windows are laminated can’t break them. Doors loose power and can’t open them. So people just have to watch the occupants burn alive. It’s sad and sickening actually
I thought the pinto was bad!
Tesla won't be able to export the cybertruck to Europe due to pedestrian safety standards.
And you need a licence for a small truck to drive it because it is so heavy.
Edit: Normal license is for vehicles up to 3,5 tons and I think the cyber truck was heavier. So you would need a special more expensive license.
Should be the same here, really.
They can't export it to any other country except Canada, and even Alberta is the only province likely to legalize the damn thing.
So like any other full sized American truck then…
@@muellermat In Germany, this would also mean that Cybertrucks must follow the same speed limits that trucks do: 70 km/h (45 mph) outside non-builtup areas and 80 km/h (50 mph) on Autobahn.
Taking the turn signal lever, which is a universally accepted standard for automotive design, and redesigning it into a completely unintuitive button, pretty much sums up everything wrong with this vehicle.

If it had been exactly the same car but not looked like a Fiat Multipla in an undersized three-wolves-moon shirt it might have been a hit. The styling thoroughly doomed it at the time.
Saw an Aztek for the first time on Sunday, a bit "ugly" but charming and genuinely pretty practical which I like
Under powered and too odd of a design to catch on. There were a lot on the road in Detroit and you could buy one at a discount. We enjoyed ours, but the engine continually overheated after 40,000 and the car became unreliable.
Ironically, the Aztek made me genuinely start liking the idea of having a car. I was still young enough not to know what "Pontiac" as a brand concept really was, and wasn't much of a car person early on, so when I was old enough to drive I had thought maybe I'd get one someday.

Growing up, a neighbor of mine had a DeLorean, and it was the coolest thing around.
Before or after BTTF came out? I think that movie is 99% of the reason people remember the DeLorean fondly. Hell, there's an 80s speakeasy in Denver called the DeLorean.
Before. And that’s a great point. Having it before the movie made it much more exotic.

A car dealer neighbor of mine when I was a child had a limited edition gold plated DeLorean.

So, in 2006 I was at a halloween party, and I ended up talking with a friend there who was an engineer for Tesla, working on the roadster at the time. He covered at length that the business plan was to release a hypercar, that would fund a luxury sedan, which in turn would fund a mass market sedan. This plan was absolutely not Elon's. I have also talked to others who worked for Tesla about the time the 3 was being worked on, and they confirmed that the company has a team specifically to "manage" him, and keep him distracted on crazy projects so the rest of the company could function. The cybertruck is absolutely his distraction project.

I think it's hilarious that the winter after the Cybertruck debuts is projected to be the heaviest winter in years.
Cant wait to see how they take to road salt
Stainless steel doesn't rust, unless you use crap quality steel with impurities.
CyberRust won't kill Tesla. But it has exposed their lies. They are in big danger. Like the screen centric concept was always just so they can save a few bucks. Which means I will absolutely never own one, because not having controls like a dedicated physical volume knob is miserable and dangerous.
Like when Maps accidentally thinks I want to talk to its garbage Assistant. There was an update at one point. If you scream at the Assistant to "f*** off" because it was 200dB higher than your music. It went on a long rant about how you shouldn't hurt the robot's feelings. While you were in traffic with Google Assistant drowning out the sound of an oncoming emergency vehicle trying to get by. This was horrifyingly, terribly dangerous. Luckily I had a physical volume button that I could mash to mute the robot. That physical button may have actually saved my life that day.
Until voice control can immediately, reliably turn completely off the moment I scream "f*** off" I not only don't want any voice assistant, but I also want a kill switch.
Tesla was always going to be hype brand.
Once the novelty wears off it becomes clear the products are nothing special and most "innovations" are jist solutions looking for problems.
On top of that they just look bland and lack any character, and increasingly outdated as well.
Eventually tesla needs to become part of a big legacy car manufacturer like gm to make use of scale and the ability to share platforms. And their ev tech can help their parent company then to move the entire concern forward technologically.

If you found an Edsel in a garage or barn today in 2024, you could fix it up and get it into working shape and even drive it on the road. In the future, I don’t think you’ll be able to do that with any 70 year old Tesla cars. Think of all the specialized parts and technology, chips , software, and battery tech that may be impossible to find or duplicate in 70 years. And do the cars require an online connection with a server to work? Will that server and online service still be up and running in 70 years?
Is there something fundamental a smart car can do which can't be done with a "dumb" car and a GPS device? Otherwise, cars needing servers only benefits companies.
@@marcodaddario3965 there's an argument that in the future all cars could be connected allowing for near perfect autonomous driving now ignoring all the security issues that could cause.

@@FreeKraps When I find an old flashlight somewhere the batteries have always leaked and destroyed the interior of the flashlight. The few times I’ve tried to clean the corrosion, they still haven’t worked. I imagine the same thing will happen to Tesla batteries over 70 years.
It will probably be easier than you think to get a Tesla going in 70 years. Sure you may not know much about electronics and hardware hacking but plenty of people do. There are people right now who make Doom run on things that shouldn't run it, just for fun. There's a guy who made an NES use Mode 7 graphics, something Nintendo themselves back in the day thought impossible. There are people who just because they can, publish simple guides online for how to wire in modchips to your PS3 so it can play anything you want. There are dudes who make literally rotting 80s computers run like new again just for funzies.
What you've failed to understand is that while EVs are not mechanical vehicals, they are computer vehicles and there are more computer nerds than gearheads now (and that's likely to remain true indefently). The only real question is "will there be any reason to revive an old Tesla?" and the answer to that is up to the future.
You could make the same argument for basically any mid to high range modern vehicle. Maybe not the network part but the proprietary electronics the car requires to run. Most new cars have a CAN network that requires a minimum of a dozen separate “modules” (separate computer “boxes”) to communicate at all times and meet certain parameters to run and drive. Truth be told user serviceability on cars largely died off when CANBUS started being used instead of separate wiring circuits for all the sensors needed to operate the engine and transmission, which was the late 90’s to early 00’s.
If it could lift and tip dumpsters & had a trash compactor on the back, it would make more sense.

We see Cyberdumps fairly frequently in LA. They look worse in person.
Not to mention towing 8000 pounds it only gets 80-85 miles on a full charge down to zero and costs more to charge then a diesel truck to refill on the exact same trip with the exact same load.
This right here is why I'm not letting go of my 01 Cummins with 310k
11,000 lbs, 94 miles, and about 1/3 the cost but, ya know, you were close.
If you were a local contractor with a trailer to haul around town, that puny range would be a day or two. Why does everyone see towing as a cross-country affair? I despise Musk and Tesla because of him and the “bro-box” is just more crap from the mind of megalomania, but for what most pickups do on the regular, a decrease in range for hard work is reasonable.
@markstevens1729 90 miles for a lot of contractors is less than a day might not even be 1 trip. In the U.S, a lot of them will sometimes drive 200 per day depending on the job. Not just to and from, but also supply runs because they couldn't fit it all in the truck or van. Speaking from experience having hauled for a contractor before at jobs far from both our homes. In short, it doesn't even always cut it for local, especially if the job doesn't have electricity on site.
@@markstevens1729”Cross country” should be the metric for towing, atleast for us here in Australia towing could be business related but for most its towing around a camper trailer. 90 miles or 145km is pathetic, depending on traffic conditions that would geofence you to roughly a 1 hr radius of your residence.
Imagine only being able to go camping or for trades being able to accept jobs that are within 1 hour of your home.

Just asking out of curiosity, there have been revisions right? Most german brand cars like C class, bmw 3 also went through revisions but didnt go away. Sure with more redesign but i dont think they are still using the same motors or the same battery in the Mod S which would be the main components for an EV
Julian, you've just explained what is wrong with the modern world, and it's called consumerism.
You don't seem to be aware of the Tesla production-cell method. As Sandy Munro says, the legacy car makers think that the great thing about next year's model is that it has an extra cup holder and a different coloured fender. And those changes take two years to get approved.
@@AndrewBlucher Exactly. If car manufacturers made minor revisions to their models to fix problems and improve the product we'd have MUCH better and safer cars, and much less confusion and ambiguity for the consumer. The market would have a chance to establish fair pricing.

For me the very first time that I saw the Cybertruck I thought it was awesome because it looks like it was designed by a 5 year old and it's so ridiculous and just so hilariously bad that it makes it good. But then the way that it's engineered and built just makes me roll my eyes and try to maintain hope for humanity
A big part of the delorean failing is the guy was all over the news and they were saying he was doing drug running. Also they had trash engines
They also were made in Northern Ireland by people who had no experience building cars.
Rear engine design was really bad choice. The showcar mid-engine is what people wanted.
That's what im saying. It was a bad comparison. DMC also had no other products and simply doubled down instead of looking for solutions to their mess. Tesla can easily subsidize the loss of Cybertruck by selling more 3s and Ys. It's likely going to be a flop for Tesla, but not what sinks it ✋️🙄
@alexibarra4675 agreed
@@LEX.IBA333 What also killed DMC 12 was the 25,000 price tag in 1981. It was supposed to be 12,000 at the most.
He's a founder like Ray kroc founded McDonalds.
The only difference is Ray knew how to run a business and made his franchise operation a global success.

I sold used cars for awhile and we could never keep Aztecs on the lot, they sold fast. People eventually saw its value.
thought they were ugly new but I always wanted to customize one with "throw away" money
people are very interested in the CT too. Its value is im no longer spending $1200 each month on fuel so its the cheapest expensive truck ive ever owned . The savings in fuel alone are paying for it not to mention I never have to deal with stealerships and their $120 oil changes or trying to upsell me the stupid fluid flush and other BS.
@@icedout2322 "Very interested"
The 97.5% cancel rate for preorders, and SUB 4000 units sold last year don't seem to match your claims.
Go home stan.
"The savings in fuel alone are paying for it"
If we ignore the fact that electricity isn't free (easier to calculate, and not worth including for someone of your intelligence):
Presuming ~10mpg (truck average in 2021)
Presuming $4 per gallon.
You'd have to drive 250,000 miles before you break even...
So you clearly didn't do the math...
In reality it would take even longer because all those "savings" don't account for wear and tear, or actually buying the electricity. I doubt if the battery could even last long enough to "break even". You'd probably end up another 60 grand in the hole before you did.
"...not to mention I never have to deal with stealerships and their $120 oil changes..."
Oh I see the problem; You're an 1D10T. No one with any brains takes it to the DEALERSHIP for an oil change, nor pays *$120* for one...
" or trying to upsell me the stupid fluid flush and other BS."
A scummy practice, but one only pulled on people that have zero knowledge about cars... Seems like you fit that demographic perfectly.
I do have to admit, that the CT did reach its target buyer in your case: People with far, far more money than sense.
You'd look a lot less foolish if you just accepted you fell for hype, instead of doubling down on your nonsense... Maybe at least do the math before you make BS claims again.
Hold this: L
@@icedout2322 i cant wait for you to see the cost of battery replacement. oh and once you void that warranty by plugging in a toaster. oh the the insurance!! lets not forget the insurance. tiny fender bender might just total out the whole vehicle especially if the battery gets even the slightest damage.
If the cybertruck was a good quality car that worked well and was built well, it wouldn't matter that it looked weird or had basically no functional use. It would be a good luxury car. The problem is that is shitty quality.
They're testing how stupid mankind is right now.
Yes, by posting videos like this.
It's the great filter. On one side you have ignorant truck nuts, EV haters and Elon haters. On the other side you have people that have actually driven the vehicle or otherwise understand it's comparative features.

@@savagej4y241 argumentum ad populum.
If Elon had delivered, only on the price of 40k, it would have been a good vehicle, you could overlook the ugly design, the inconvenience of the stainless steel. But for 2~3x the price and half the value, as its a bad vehicle, and an even worse truck. It doesn't really have any value other than "looking cool". Worst of all, people buy Porsches, Lambos, and Ferraris for looking cool, not a stainless steel fridge on wheels.
It always pays to under promise and overdeliver. The exact opposite of Elon's Motto.
"a stainless steel fridge on wheels..." What a perfect description...except a stainless steel fridge looks a lot better.
He needs to deliver a cost reduced EV for under 40k, which I don't think will happen.
My guess isn't just because of Elon's insistence on "innovation," but also because of massive inefficiencies in their production.
Stainless steel is hard to manufacture with. No one is complaining about it being inconvenient to use.
You have never driven the truck. You know nothing about it except what trash tic Tok videos tell you. It's a very good vehicle. It's fast, powerful, a camping cheat code, handles like a sports car and has more technology than anyone else.
Did Tesla under deliver? Not on the AWD version. They exceeded their promises on everything but the price. We got more range, more power, more towing, four wheel steering and steer by wire more than was promised. Is it worth the $80k? It's better than all other competitively priced trucks so yes. It will come down in price though. The RWD version will be $60k and drop from there.
@@tripzero0 it's got half the promised range, for twice the price. A barebones interior, horrible towing range. Ignore the Tesla marketing of acceleration, and fancy 48v bla bla bla, and look at it from a truck owners perspective, someone who actually wants a truck. It being bulletproof is a massive gimmick. I've never been shot at.
I want a truck with a nice build quality. It doesn't have it. I want to go 500 miles without having to stop to charge. It doesn't do it. For 100k, I can buy the most top of the line truck, that gets a lot more range, has a lot more capacity for towing, has massaging seats. Has a proper bed where I can actually put shit and use, without the range dropping to miserable.
All of that, would have been perfectly fine, for 40k I could live with 200 miles worth of range. And 100miles while towing, for 40k, but for 100k? For what? To say my truck is bulletproof? Tesla forgot what a truck was meant for and that's why 80% of the marketing is about it's speed and stuff. Also I have driven one. And PSA, the 4 wheel steering shit is 100% necessary, cuz the turning radius with it, is about the size of the titanic, without it, it would be even worse.
@@marcezs08 the AWD was promised with 300 miles range and we got 340. Are you talking about the 3-motor variant? As I said that particular one is a miss.
500 miles is about 6 hours of driving. You want your legs to swell and feel like jelly while having a full bladder for that long I guess that's on you.
I don't drive 500 miles or even 300 miles everyday. When I did, it was fine. I stopped more for the humans than I did the truck. Meanwhile I use it daily for $10 a month in fuel. It has a very useful bed. Again, I own it and you don't so you are no expert on the truck. I am.
Your arguments are invalid. The build quality is fine and the panels are scratch and dent resistant which is nice for more than just bullets if you ever off-road. The interior is simple, not bare bones. It's elegant and better than any vehicle I've owned or driven.

Until the Tesla Cybertruck gets 4 or 5 stars in a NCAP safety test, I think the car is not just ugly but also extremely dangerous for its drivers and anyone it crashes into.
Does NCAP scores safety for people outside the tested cars? I've so many test methods I can't distinguish in my head now. Because I remember seeing pedestrian test, but don't know if it was NCAP test or not.
Cybertruck will get -5 before getting 5
How do vehicles like this make it to production without a safety rating? I would think that that would need to occur before?
So do you have any data or factual evidence for your assertions, or just fee fees? Because thus far, there is no real world data to substantiate your claims.
- NHTSA, IIHS, NCAP do not test every vehicle on sale.
- Approximately 150,000 vehicles sold every year are not NHTSA tested
- For example: not a single Jaguar, Land Rover, or Porsche model have an NHTSA rating
- Regarding the CT specifically: “While it has certainly created a lot of buzz, it’s unlikely we would invest resources to test it unless it were selling in numbers comparable with other popular large pickups”.
-Zero pedestrian fatalities to date
@@andrewdubose9968 you can’t send links in comments. Literally look up cybertruck safety and you’ll see articles from reputable sources. Plus, it’s banned in the eu for being too dangerous
Cybertruck: at least it's not a Mustang Mach E.
It is amazing that they were able to make a car uglier than a Pontiac Aztec.
anything can be made ugly, with ease. take your mom for example.
@@rheaghen bruh
At least the Aztek has the excuse of being forced to use a different chassis than what the car was designed for!
Hahahaha short seller cope in the comment section 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your mom thought the same thing about you...
I'm British. I hated the Aztec when I first saw it in Mexico City years ago. Then I went camping in one with a lady and I loved it!
What I also consider as a huge mistake is that he killed the cheaper Model 2 which was supposed to come in favor of the bullshit robo taxi, robo bus and Optimus.
one thing i find interesting I always thought you could just get any model of tesla and with FSD it becomes a robotaxi. now it turns out there will be a specific model for that and none of the current cars can do it.
@@BeachLookingGuy They will all do it.
@@jameswoll oh u think so? Lol
@@BeachLookingGuythe „robotaxi“ is just the version without a steering wheel and pedals. Though its a clear case of ill believe it when i see it as FSD is just around the corner and releasing next year since 2018
One of the biggest reasons for the CT's 97.5% dropout rate is that it's virtually -- or entirely -- uninsurable, as in, you can't find an insurance company of any size or based in any state that's willing to underwrite these at any price. And that, folks, is a dealbreaker.
Why are people always trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to cars and trucks. The old models of the Tacoma, Civic, Ranger have outlasted every modern car so far yet companies want us to believe that the plastic electric toys are the future
It's not about reliability anymore. It's about digital tech, slapping a giant screen in, subscriptions and features features features.
If they could just use the old designs and slap in an electric motor instead id love it. But sadly there is a large amount of inability to stick with good designs.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 put everything on a apple tablet in the middle of the dashboard like a Tesla smh the auto industry should learn form the airlines industry that buttons, switches, and levers still have a places and don’t distract people

I would say: Make trucks smaller( as in not as long and maybe go back to being single bench cars or at least 3 door cars with reduced size rear bench) with leaving the bed size unchange. Good utility tracks are ones that have big bed size to overall size ratio. Especially if you try makeing electric trucks, but what do I know.
you forgot the marketing of the Edsel was that NOBODY was allowed to see the car until literally the night it was put on sale. the assembly issues were because Mcnamera (yes thst one) decided to build them on the same assembly line as other ford cars, which did not work
And when people finally saw the Edsel, after several years of hype about how fabulous and ground-breaking it was going to be, they were underwhelmed or actually scornful of it. Within weeks it was recognized as a major failure.
Let’s not forget the giant chrome vagina on the front of it…
It was the concept of chasing Sloan's GM hierarchy that failed, maybe not the Edsel itself. Sure they're all the points that everyone knows about, but both Ford and Chrysler realize that that Buick segment of the market, the lower end premium, could be served way better by gussying up a cheaper model or stripping luxury one. DeSoto died the same year as Edsel, they both or position to fill gaps in a market which didn't really exist
That old ford car looks goofy enough to be in a fallout game
I was thinking that. It has to be one of the inspirations for those huge Corvegas with the big turbine-like noses.
Look up the Buick XP-300. Or like a '58 Continental. The Edsel looks insane in 2024, but I'm not really convinced if you put it in a line up with 4 other cars from that era that it even really stands out.
I was just a little girl the first time I saw an edsel. We were on the freeway, and mom asked me, "Do you know what kind of car that is?" I didn't hesitate a second, and said, "It's so ugly it must be an edsel!"
One of the few times in my life she was truly proud of me.
That edsel was traumatizingly hideous, but still not a patch on leon skum's w*nkpanzer.
@@davidfoster2629it's totally an after the fact rationalization of why it failed. 1958 styling for GM was hideous, Ford's offerings weren't that hot either. Really everything on the road looked antiquated compared to exner's brilliant 57/8 forward looks, too bad they were built so awfully. I'm not enamored with it, but I do like the front end styling. It remind me of the Packard Predictor styling concept, a fairly good interpretation of the pre-war formal upright grill for the jet age
I don't understand why car places always have to f up the most essential things in a car, like the gas/break pedals, making the steering wheel a weird shape, and hiding essential functions in an infotainment menu. The infotainment menu should only be for radio/music, backup camera and gps,thats it.
The DeLorean was also a complete lemon. 130 hp trying to look like a sports car. The parts are substandard, if any rust gets on the engine you need to sandblast or the parts will erode. The engine block will rot right through.
And it’s still a better vehicle than the CyberDumpster will ever be
It's literally only famous because it got featured with Christopher Lloyd and Michael "Jitterbug" Fox.
This is because of the electrical potential set up between iron and 300 series nickel-chrome-iron. Aluminium corrodes more slowly because of the oxide barrier. In "ordinary" cars all the steel parts are about the same potential.
