Modern Vespa

Can't even close the tail gate

Ours arrives next week.

I noticed that too. Why not put it in diagonally?

I saw one for the first time today. I noticed that it was a series on flat. angular panels. I also noticed as the driver took a left that the panels had ripples, not flat at all . This for a nearly six figure vehicle?

Recently saw this article about the actual usable dimensions of the Cybertruck's bed. It's like they didn't even bother to look at another truck when designing it.

My old Frontier may not be Mars-ready (or any of that other nonsense), but it has an honest 6' 1" bed and can carry most non-maxiscooters with the tailgate closed.

I saw one in Tiffany Blue yesterday.

Two weeks ago while on my drive to see BajaRob, there was one cruising up the freeway with the bed cover open and empty Trader Joe's bags flying out all over the road.

It's an over priced gimmick. A novelty bought by those who seek attention.

A slab of over-hyped ugliness that will always be ridiculed.

I hope that I never see one.

Almost forgot, saw my first one Thursday getting off the highway while on a clandestine donut run for my coworkers while my boss was away. Shocked me cause I really wasn't expecting to see one. No paint or wrap on it. Reminded me of the old movie "Metalstorm the Destruction of Jared-Syn". Another disappointment 😝.

Jesus, and I thought I had problems.

Respectfully, why?

It reminds me of an upscale dumpster (trash tipper). Hard to unsee it after you've come upon one, but I'm sure trying.

Don't know

But at least it's got more space than the Suzuki Mighty Boy from the '80s. I remember these being popular for pizza delivery

Hmmm...a coffin on wheels

If it was called the Cyber Boy I'd have more respect for it.

Powerful

I absolutely love the Mighty Boy.

You can quote me.

I believe it was Bill Dog who once said,

'I absolutely love the Mighty Boy.'

If Elon would have fashioned a square-bodied retro truck with two beast EV engines it would have been a hit. Instead, Elon did Elon. He is nothing more than a forward-thinking autistic rich boy.

You say that like its a bad thing.

Back on topic. Anyone seen this pick up anything other than a scooter that doesn't fit? These are a hit with tradies?

Fit and finish is subpar, as with most Tesla vehicles.

Tradies who are probably getting a lower Tax rate because it's classed as Business Vehicle.

There are a lot of ID Buzz's running around over here for the same reason.

Great for optics.

Our business vehicles don't have to pass emissions at all. Dump truck all over the place.

EV's as Commercial Vehicles are being heavily promoted over here with the advantage of nominal Tax rates and then after 3 years they come back from their leases and are slung back on the forecourt as a used vehicle.

I can see many a used ID Buzz being bought as a cheap EV.

Had one pull out in front of me without stopping. Normal shit, not a Tesla thing.
Looked like it sat under a pile of leaves for 5 years and was just dug out

Please forgive me if I've asked this question before but why are so many Tesla owners such bad drivers ?

Maybe a significant percentage of the are former BMW / Audi drivers who drive the new hotness to signal their success and/or virtue?

They can't hear us calling them twats over the sound of how awesome they are.

I was gonna say at least their poor judgment is consistent.

Because we bought it. Plus we actually know a bit about the subject.

I shouldn't be surprised but I am- looks of any vehicle are subjective and I get it, but so many people making comments are totally clueless.

I can only assume the weird stuff is due to political disagreement. But that's cool, we probably don't have much else in common.

No, you are mistaken. It's not about Politics. It's because the product is a load of over-hyped pointless bollocks and I think it signifies the moment that the Tesla brand will be taken less seriously.

This direction that this product has taken the company has far more to do with attention seeking, impracticality and sheer vanity than saving the planet.

What an utter crock.

Or to put it another way:

Many are anti Cybertruck while still being positive about EVs in general even other tesla cars.

That ain't politics.

I couldn't have put that better myself.

Well I can't help the clueless. And they don't want it anyway.

It seems that the clueless are in the majority.

They have issued a recall for the oversized wiper blades.

Your truck is bad and you should feel bad.

Another recall?? Tesla Q.C. FTW!!!

There are some people that like and will buy the Cybertruck. Just as there were people that liked and bought the Hummers. Spend your money any way you want...........

And some even worse people that buy Lambrettas.
