    Tesla Cybertruck

    I just saw my third one out in the wild. I just don’t get it. To me they look like something a third grader would design. I must not be the target audience. Anyone here have a different opinion.

    Nope. I've always assumed the overall look was supposed to be the ultimate in streamlined, aerodynamic design but it just looks odd to me.

    Nope. I read they’re having some issues, too.

    Maybe on the age of the designer, I would have a different opinion, but not about the look of the truck.

    I've not seen one in person, but it looks rather awkward in the photos. Maybe it drives like a dream.

    I've not yet seen one in the wild either, but I think its natural habitat is well outside the mundane sensibilities of flyover country.

    I will be getting a electric pickup truck in the next year or so.

    It will be the Ford F150 electric, as it seems to work like a real truck for my applications, and can serve as a backup power supply for my home, making it "free" compared to the Tesla Powerwall I had been considering.

    I've never heard of or seen it either. Definitely doesn't look like my definition of a truck.

    I don't see a new truck in my near future, but have been eying the little Ford Maverick. It's available as a hybrid, inexpensive, and about the right size for a city truck to haul furniture, landscaping materials, etc. and maneuver through city traffic and parking.
