Real world comparison...

.

The Cybertruck next to one of our trucks. Spotted this at the local Choke and Puke, parked next to it and shot the pair to share here...

There is no comparison. Not even close.

Re: Real world comparison...

I saw one in the wild for the 1st time the other day. If it wasn’t on the other side of the street I would have taken a closer look. NOT My Cup of Tea

Re: Real world comparison...

One good thing about a Cybertruck. It doesn't look like all the other generic new vehicles. No one is going to mistake one for a F150/Silverado/Ram/Tundra.

Still like the Orange truck better.

Does that black wedge avoid radar like the F117 stealth fighter?

Re: Real world comparison...

Whew! No comparison at all and that C10 is fan-tas-tic!

The cyber truck looks like something that would have been in one of those cheap sci-fi movies in the 70's.

Re: Real world comparison...

If you haven`t had the misfortune of seeing one in person, they`re really cheap looking and fugly. Looks like someone quickly slapped it together in their garage with leftover sheetmetal and self-tappers. A smoother contour would have gone a long way.

But I am digging that C10.

Re: Real world comparison...

"Tesla has a 2 million Cybertruck back order to fulfill."

Seems there are a lot of people without any criteria of what design or taste may look like.

Tesla was able to make $200M from pre-orders of one vehicle. ($100 X two million)

This class 8 truck I like.

The new design truck is like comparing a cartoon drawn truck to a real truck

Re: Real world comparison...

Wait! That's an actual production vehicle?????
I had one drive by me over the winter and assumed it was a homebuilt vehicle. Some fan of a movie or video game who was on their way to some convention or such.

Nicknamed the "Wobbly Goblin" because of the 3 flight control computers voting on attitude. It was "adjusting" a lot.

Re: Real world comparison...

Saw one on the freeway the other day. One was at the car show last Saturday. Sorry not for me, looks like someone asked a kindergartener to draw a truck. The vehicle looks hideous to me.
