Sinclair C5 on steroids. And the new hoodlums favourite.
Hardly. That's a $60,000 truck and cannot use roads with width restrictions. It's over 2m wide.
I see it weighs about 3 tonnes and in a collision " Will destroy the other vehicle " 😮

"We dug our own grave with the cybertruck," Mr Musk said."

Well, not *yet*. And given that Musk has pretty much given up on the UK market, possibly not ever except in left hand drive.
It's very much a marmite design.
The left hand drive doesn't bother me, nor the looks, it's grown on me.
I've ordered vehicles before from the States, so know the process. It will cost a fortune with added excise duty and VAT ontop, then SVA followed by registration
It's, as usual with Tesla, blistering quick even for a big vehicle. There is a cheeky drag race between a Porsche 911 and the Cybertruck. The truck won, whilst towing another Porsche at the same time

It is an ugly thing.
Seem to be glossing over the promised specs vs reality.
Promised specs:
500+ mile range
$70,000
Delivered:
340 mile range
$100,000
That’s a big decrease in promised range (even though 340 is good) and a massive hike in price which was stupid to start with !

Where did you get those details from? All the news reports state $60,990 as the starting price for the 250 mile cybertruck. $79,990 for the 340 mile and $100,000 for the Cyberbeast. There is also a range extender that you can buy which increases range to 440-470 miles.
SO yes, not yet at 500 miles and more expensive than the originally promised $39,000.
