Tesla Cybertruck

Wow, 5-star NHTSA rating:

Tesla Cybertruck is not the death machine that some claimed, gets 5-star NHTSA rating

NHTSA has independently tested Tesla Cybertruck, and it got a top 5-star rating despite some claiming that it would be...

AFAICT those are crash ratings.

Doesn't address the risk of getting BBQ'd if a runaway battery fire ignites.

When are they releasing a cheaper SM variant so that you and your wife can accept deliveries?

Double fugly.

Now get to spend another 60K or more for this ugliness.
That's a swasticar/swastitruck with camper for 140K and more.

I loved the original concept...awesome swing-out kitchen, nice open bed-tent, etc. As with the production vehicle, the rollout was...meh. Bonkers $3,000 for JUST the tent!!

SM?

 

[manly]

SM?

single motor. I jest because I know you want a yuge battery with massive range.
Also seems risky to buy a new car that is a big target for vandalism.

Those ratings also don't consider anything outside the vehicle. Good luck to any pedestrians/cyclists/people in smaller cars that get mowed down by this monstrosity.

Safe as riding in a Panzer IV.

Made by a guy who may as well have manufactured Panzers too.

That camper looks like someone threw a tarp over some cargo lol.

Plan was $39k grocery getting first & if that was good, a 500-mile work vehicle. $60k now for a base is an entire Kia Forte or Nissan Versa price increase lol. Makes zero sense to me now lol.

I already spend around $350/mo in gas just for my vehicle, so being able to charge up for free at customer sites would be awesome & help offset the cost. People are hitting 300,000 miles in other Tesla vehicles with 80%+ battery life, which is pretty good; I'd imagine they could hit 500k before serious degradation kicks in. Assuming the stainless steel panels don't rust off first LOL.

And yeah, they are politically-branded now, moreso than other Tesla vehicles. Model Y's are a dime a dozen where I love & nobody looks twice at them, but the CT's really stand out. This guy has been targeted by hate & can't find a buyer for it:

Definitely worth 100k on it. I can only imagine the hydro upgrade Nutsk wanted to sell...

My car (Saturn Sky Redline) weighs less than half as much. I think a Cybertruck weighs like 1,000 lbs more than an Escalade. If I was hit by one, I would die, my car would be a pile of dust and the CT probably wouldn't even have a dent. It might be fugly, but if I had to crash in anything that would be a good choice.

Were safe from that monstrosity in Europe. Getting to tank level weight is not making roads safer.

They sell cars like these at local dealerships. Plus there are semi-trucks, dump trucks, tanker, trucks, busses, RV's, etc. on the road in America. No one is safe here lol

Meh, airbags wrecked the pickup truck experience. Back when we had real bumpers and no airbags, we could just run into shit, no damage. Now we have to treat trucks like exotic sports cars, ooh ooh, careful!

 

[Red Squirrel]

Let's also not forget about the Hummer EV! That thing is crazy lol. Like 9000 lbs.

 

[misuspita]

Yeah, that's another abomination. Except straight line, those are anchor boats
