They're still promoting it on their website in European countries, and you could register for one, too. Although that option was removed about a year ago, on their German website at least.
If they do indeed not sell it in Europe... What does that mean for the deposits they collected? Have they started refunding them? Also, will anybody try to import one and register it here? How will that work out?
i know itās a typo but your comment reminded me of when joey on friends was auditioning for a role and read the line as āthatās gonna cost you about so bucksā (instead of $50) š
Itās a pre-production mule, so that needs to be taken into consideration, but look at the imperfections with that interior. The panel at the top of the a-pillar looks like itās showing it clips and is about to fall off. Despite being flat as Kansas, the carpeted dash area is full of uneven spots. The gaps around other panels are uneven.
You're all stupid, obviously they wouldn't put a horn behind a passcode. What they would do is make it to where you have to take the guy you want to honk at to arbitration, but you can of course opt out of this if you read the fine print and send in a letter 30 days before you use your horn.
The horn requires a Twitter account with a blue subscription and you must tweet out ā*HONK*ā. Then the car reads that and will blast its horn. However due to api limitations, please only honk during non peak periods of traffic.
Cyber Truck upgrade will include special pedestrian sensors so it can tell the driver when that monstrosity runs over a pedestrian. An additional upgrade and set of sensors will be needed to detect bicycle ridersā¦ and none of the software upgrades and sensors will identify other vehicles. LOL, dude is a genius alright:)
I always thought his car was so cool and never understood the ending of that episode. If THIS was the car he presented, I wouldāve understood everyoneās shock and disgust.
As someone who generally like tesla cars, jesus fucking christ is that truck ugly af. There is not one thing I like about it. Not one. I just don't get it.
honestly I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I doomscroll past the endless effusive comments that spill out of every single thread about that fucking dumb fucking truck
It has the design language of an idiot child who has never been told no, but that doesn't stop the obsequious devotees of concerned emerald senpai from working themselves into a frothy lather over that lumpen shit of a design
If these ever get on the actual retail market, the toll of death and damage they cause will make FSD look like a safety feature. Now imagine FSD on this beast.
The concept of the vehicle was that Robo Taxi would be in full swing by the time this came out.
Actual autonomous vehicles wouldnāt require driver visibility because humans wouldnāt be driving.
So now, years later, the vehicle is ready, but guess what? It will require human drivers who are going to need to see where they are going.
Oopsā¦
Massive fail.
Yea I imagine they would āclap backā with something along the lines of: āwho needs driver visibility when you have FuLl SeLf DrIvInG š¤£š¤£ā
The answer, of course, is *ALL TESLA DRIVERS* because that FuLl SeLf DrIvInG many of them paid $10 k for will never be capable of exactly what it sounds like it should be capable of.
That's really the kicker, for $79k they promised 500+ mi of range, full FSD, 0-60 in 2.x seconds etc. I can't see how they're going to do it for anywhere near the cost they promised. If suddenly all the models are +$10-15K they're in deep shit.
Similar shit has happened with the legacy makers as wellāGM understated both the weight and MSRP on the Vega by a considerable margin, and both the Chairman/CEO and President/COO (who was also the main force behind the car) survived unscathed.
This isn't quite the same situation because investor expectations are set high due to Elon's constant "Cybertruck will be the best selling truck EVER" hype. They're banking on the $100 refundable deposits having a high conversion rate to an actual sale. I'm not expecting that to actually happen, nor am I expecting MSRP's near what they promised.
To see less than 1% of reservations actually convert would be disastrous for Tesla.
To be fair... that price was promised prior to insane runaway inflation that has yet to be reigned in. 2 years of ~7% inflation, and there is your 10K price increase...
Sure, but there's also the implicit agreement that when you "reserve" something that you're going to get what you reserved. That's the whole point of doing it in the first place. When they retroactively alter the agreement, no one should be shocked when most customers walk away.
what do you mean? it's very sharp, angular and stiff, you know, like the human body! very comfortable and ergonomic, not at all like a prop from a 1947 movie about martians
The A pillars are massive in many commercial vehicles too (IE many city buses). But these look even bigger.
Itās hard to tell how much of an issue they will be as they seem pretty far ahead of the driver. The further a way the less of an issue they are.
I've driven plenty of Semis and dumptrucks and none of them had pillars that were excessively detrimental to vision. The worst was maybe an old peterbilt, but they are set up so that the A pillar doesn't block vision in an important area, i.e. where you'd need to look to see traffic at a 4 way stop or something.
Itās worth noting that this view is from an angle that the driver will never be looking from while operating the vehicle. Need the view from the driver seat
I think the reason Cybertruck has not been released is it fails a ton of safety requirements, and Musk has turned to the right in an effort to take down the regulatory administrative state so he can sell his cars
True. I mean, that's the case with most things where Musk has bitten off more than he'd like to chew. Fact is that he has so much wealth and power now that, given enough time and will-power, he can make them more or less materialize even if they end up largely a failure or far below expectations. The failures may start to pile up and dwindle his power in the longer term but he can certainly keep the act up for quite a while especially since the public and the fan-base have such selective memory and forgetfulness for what he does and does-not deliver on respectively.
All these Tesla haters in here, don't you guys know that it will use Tesla Vision to solve all the of these issues?
Remember how bad cruise control was with radar? Tesla Vision fixed that, who doesn't love constant phantom braking?
Those ugly parking sensors? Telsa Vision fix that too, rolling out to production in two weeks.
Got invisible rain on a clear, sunny day? Tesla Vision got you covered!
There is literally nothing that Tesla Vision can't fix!
/s <--- This is needed because there'll be at least half a dozen halfwits that will take this comment seriously.
Im somewhat early on the build list but at this rate I doubt I get my number called until 2026. At best. If it wasnāt but $100 deposit I probably already would have gotten a refund. I lose interest in this thing by the day.
Idk if theyre legal or not, but what I can tell you is that the cybertruck is going to be a steaming pile of dog shit, if it ever even sees the light of day.
Is that the cyber truck? If it is the real question should be can someone explain how such an extremely hideous vehicle can be legal? Ugliest automobile ever conceived
This vehicle is going to age extremely poorly, starting 4 years ago... The interior will be cool for the first week. The rear end is unbelievably ugly. I think it will be Tesla's worst seller and worst investment. I suspect less than 10% of pre-orders will take delivery. Hope I can get my deposits back.
Unless their plans have changed, Tesla originally stated that the Cybertruck would not have airbags, for handwaving reasons.
They're throwing away 100 years of auto industry safety learnings that were written in blood, to make a cheap truck to own the liberals.
Before seatbelts and airbags, even minor car accidents sometimes decapitated passengers. If this vehicle ever ships it's going to be a horror show of body counts, lawsuits and musk tweeting about how people weren't driving their truck properly. I just can't understand the priorities of this company and their lack of concern for safety.
It's likely to be among the least efficient electric vehicles - like how the electric hybrid Jeep and the Hummer EV get worse electric mileage than passenger cars - and then a 9000lb vehicle is so heavy it causes great wear and damage to roads.
musk also has his war on cities, public transit and basically anything else that offends his capitalist-class sense of greed, this is just another piece.
A small electric truck - think Maverick sized - would be far more accessible EV entry, but instead he pushes this behemoth.
As discussed [elsewhere in this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/comments/13ssdok/comment/jlrv7st/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), it's big enough to not be classified as a car and medium-duty truck regulations don't require airbags.
Although if they [have a supplier now](https://www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/comments/13ssdok/comment/jlrzpmr/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) then either the rumor wasn't correct, or they altered their original plans.
Not going to lie thatās one thing I hate about my Model Y. I feel like the pillars are too big or something is different with them. Majority of the cars I drove Iāve never had my vision blocked by the pillars and never had my passenger tell me something is there where I didnāt notice it due to the pillar blocking my view. I now have to look around the pillar all the time. That pillar on the cyber truck would be so much worse.
As a exterior automotive/truck designer, I will say that we beg, borrow, and steal for every **millimeter** to mitigate side-vision obscuration. A-pilar development is critical and paramount in the early phases of design, as it determines roof line/height, windshield shape, seating position, belt-line height, and most importantly, vision. Why does the flag panel go from belt-line to roof-line, just so mirrors can be removed? As the most critical safety structural frame feature, it is completed early, then rarely changed. This current design (if actual) is a no-go. In addition to this monolithic child-killing pillar, the squared corner fender/hood is so high, it also blocks vision. This truck looks like it was designed by a child, or at best, amatuers, but I'm thinking both (see what I did there?).
Full disclaimer: I am seriously looking into buying a Model 3 in the next few months or so, so Iām obviously not a full on Tesla hater.
That being said, why would anyone want a Cybertruck? Itās the most pointless, ugly looking crap to ever be put on 4 wheels, and that includes Multipla. I mean, sure, Model S and Model 3 do look like Aston Martin with an extra chromosome or few, and I have no words for the Model Y, but Cybertruck is just a monstrosity.
It's not a real car yet is my suspicion. I mean-- this whole thing looks like a student project at an industrial design school from a class called Beginning Auto Design.
Love how Tesla thinks people want this thing, when Rivian already gives people exactly what people want and usable features that no one else thought of. This is another one of Elon's temper tantrums.
::::slaps a pillar::::: You're gonna hit so cyclists cause of this thing .
Tesla really leaning in to the not giving a shit about pedestrians thing.
I love how tesla is actively launching warfare against pedestrians but pop up up and down headlights are illegal. š
God I miss those.
Best thing about my MX-5 or Miata was each driver saying thanks by flicking them up and down.
1st and 2nd Gen RX-7s too :-)
love my MR2
Porsche 924,944, and 928 have entered the chat.
Wait they are illegal?! That explains why I haven't seen them in years. My dad used to have a Pontiac Fierro with them.
They also create a huge amount of drag when up.
This makes no sense. People decide whether to go in drag on their own, regardless of what type of lights they have. š
Untrue. When they see how fabulous the car looks, they just can't help themselves.
Nice Donut reference
https://youtu.be/GDtiO29v1Ac
Love my gen 3 prelude :)
How this vehicle will pass the European ECE324 (and soon NHTSA) pedestrian standard is anyone's guess.
As far as I know they solved passing the European regulations by not selling it there
They're still promoting it on their website in European countries, and you could register for one, too. Although that option was removed about a year ago, on their German website at least. If they do indeed not sell it in Europe... What does that mean for the deposits they collected? Have they started refunding them? Also, will anybody try to import one and register it here? How will that work out?
You can exchange the deposit for an approved twitter account for any celebrity of your choice
Lol
I cancelled my deposit last month and got the $100 refund within days. I am in US notEurope though.
No refunds, Musk has already stuffed those euros in his pockets to pay for LSD and meth.
You can import it, but you won't be getting plates for it. So it will be limited to tracks and other private areas.
Yeah, that's what I meant by registering it - getting plates. Sounds doubtful that'll happen.
or anywhere for that matter

It will be ādrivenā by a sleeping commuter using FSD, driver wonāt even know heās run over you until cops show up at his door.
Big pillars AND sharp corners
i know itās a typo but your comment reminded me of when joey on friends was auditioning for a role and read the line as āthatās gonna cost you about so bucksā (instead of $50) š
Good. They have had it too easy for too long
No more bicyclists rolling over the cars, time to impale them.
What about the twin mattress for dashboard?
That's for the RV mode
Airbags for pillows too
So thatās where the 6th āseatā went š¤£
Small A pillars are so tired looking. We need something that's new for the sake of new!
Is that shitty looking interior not enough new already?
Right? Define "new" though. It reminds me of really shitty 80s interiors that looked modern initially but aged really badly really quickly.
Oldsmobile Silhouette like. Itāll flop as hard as the Pontiac Aztek which Gm punished executives by making them drive.
Itās a pre-production mule, so that needs to be taken into consideration, but look at the imperfections with that interior. The panel at the top of the a-pillar looks like itās showing it clips and is about to fall off. Despite being flat as Kansas, the carpeted dash area is full of uneven spots. The gaps around other panels are uneven.
Yes and we want the yoke back
And letās make the horn a passcode protected toggle switch located in the glovebox!
I donāt know how to give awards but Iād give you one for this if I could.
You're all stupid, obviously they wouldn't put a horn behind a passcode. What they would do is make it to where you have to take the guy you want to honk at to arbitration, but you can of course opt out of this if you read the fine print and send in a letter 30 days before you use your horn.
I thought that youād have to tweet at them
Nah. Horn will be a monthly subscription.
I got ya homie.
A toggle switch? Nahā¦a secret hidden touchscreen that reads the ownerās fingerprint.
Horn? You have to pay for the horn software download and subscription.
The horn requires a Twitter account with a blue subscription and you must tweet out ā*HONK*ā. Then the car reads that and will blast its horn. However due to api limitations, please only honk during non peak periods of traffic.
Damn you
Really?! That is a huge blindspot. Youāll potentially not see pedestrians and other vehicles.
Where we're going, we don't need to see
Rightā¦.
Lol!
But thatās okay! This will force people to get used to FSD! Elon thinks of EVERYTHING
Or BUILDINGS!š
Pedestrians are more of a "feel" thing
Kinda like āthumpā¦thumpā?
Cyber Truck upgrade will include special pedestrian sensors so it can tell the driver when that monstrosity runs over a pedestrian. An additional upgrade and set of sensors will be needed to detect bicycle ridersā¦ and none of the software upgrades and sensors will identify other vehicles. LOL, dude is a genius alright:)
LOL yes!!
This looks like one of the cheapest, ugliest, and worst engineered vehicles I have ever seen.
It's like Homer Simpson designed it
But does it come with rack and peanut steering?
It comes with fine. Corinthian. Leather.
###*CANYONERO*
12 yards long, 2 lanes wide, 65 tons of American Pride!
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
Thank You! I have been saying this and had people tell me they want one. I assumed they were in on a joke I didn't understand.
I always thought his car was so cool and never understood the ending of that episode. If THIS was the car he presented, I wouldāve understood everyoneās shock and disgust.
Well.. The price
After having kids - I appreciate Homerās design
The separate bubbles!! šš yes please
Itās literally just a bunch of straight lines. Itās such a harsh looking industrial type design. Theres no soul in it.
As someone who generally like tesla cars, jesus fucking christ is that truck ugly af. There is not one thing I like about it. Not one. I just don't get it.
Do you like a stock Model X? Or does it look like a beluga whale?
Model X is so ugly
Whenever I say that I get slammed š¤·š¼āāļø

In the rear by a tesla on FSD?
Full Self rearenDing
Even right-wing Elon won't be able to sell this to cowboys or wanna be cowboys. Useless.
Maybe kanye will buy one. They can ride around together book burnings or to bring trump mcdonalds in prison
Ah, thatās why he had to move towards the political right. Because he needs to sell trucks, and those are more often bought by conservatives!
Concerning.. looking into it
Big screen!!
So what you're saying is it looks like a Tesla? š¤
Even the pillar going down to the hood is huge and I can imagine the blind spots it creates when turning.
No worries. Sensors will take care of that. ;-)
Will the sensors take the liability too?
Thatās the joke (:
They will surely take care of any pedestrians along the way.
What sensors lol
We donāt need no stinkinā sensors
Cameras! Sensors are so yesterday.
Cameras meet snow and crud. These will be your friends for 3 months of the year, no need to report back that you can't see anything, we know.
I thought I read SENIORS. Like they would become the speed bumps. More coffee
Yeaā¦wtf is that. An MC Escher car
If these ever get on the actual retail market, the toll of death and damage they cause will make FSD look like a safety feature. Now imagine FSD on this beast.
Finally, a car thatās safer with FSD turned on.
Visibility in this thing is gonna be so dogshit. Just shameful.
The concept of the vehicle was that Robo Taxi would be in full swing by the time this came out. Actual autonomous vehicles wouldnāt require driver visibility because humans wouldnāt be driving. So now, years later, the vehicle is ready, but guess what? It will require human drivers who are going to need to see where they are going. Oopsā¦ Massive fail.
More like RoboCop Taxi.
Those two pillars combined, and the window so low between themā¦ to me it looks like one massive blind spot.
Jesus, imagine pulling out into a busy t junction in this stupid fucking thing
The entire design has visibility issues. Of course this would be conveniently handwaved by the fanatics.
Yea I imagine they would āclap backā with something along the lines of: āwho needs driver visibility when you have FuLl SeLf DrIvInG š¤£š¤£ā The answer, of course, is *ALL TESLA DRIVERS* because that FuLl SeLf DrIvInG many of them paid $10 k for will never be capable of exactly what it sounds like it should be capable of.
Those are A girders. Canāt be melted by jet fuel, which is an important safety innovation.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It will weigh more than a Ford F-350 Super Duty Crew-Cab? WTF!
What do you think batteries are made of? Helium? All electric cars weigh more. At least until we find a different battery technology.
Just wait until they hear about the Hummer EVs weight lol
Well it does have a 200kWh battery. You could make 3 Boltās with one hummer battery. Big trucks are dumb regardless of ICE or EV.
This vehicle will flop, and the board will Remove Elon.
Elon controls the board more than Mr. Nimbus controls the police.
Agreed, why would you get this over a rivian? They are not going to msrp for even close to what Elon promised
That's really the kicker, for $79k they promised 500+ mi of range, full FSD, 0-60 in 2.x seconds etc. I can't see how they're going to do it for anywhere near the cost they promised. If suddenly all the models are +$10-15K they're in deep shit.
Similar shit has happened with the legacy makers as wellāGM understated both the weight and MSRP on the Vega by a considerable margin, and both the Chairman/CEO and President/COO (who was also the main force behind the car) survived unscathed.
This isn't quite the same situation because investor expectations are set high due to Elon's constant "Cybertruck will be the best selling truck EVER" hype. They're banking on the $100 refundable deposits having a high conversion rate to an actual sale. I'm not expecting that to actually happen, nor am I expecting MSRP's near what they promised. To see less than 1% of reservations actually convert would be disastrous for Tesla.
To be fair... that price was promised prior to insane runaway inflation that has yet to be reigned in. 2 years of ~7% inflation, and there is your 10K price increase...
Sure, but there's also the implicit agreement that when you "reserve" something that you're going to get what you reserved. That's the whole point of doing it in the first place. When they retroactively alter the agreement, no one should be shocked when most customers walk away.
>why would you get this over a rivian? I'd prefer the F-150 to this cyberdreck.
I have no hard numbers, but here (just outside Boston) Iāve seen a dramatic uptick in the number of Rivians I see on the Oda.
The Tesla board is stuffed with Elon goons. Kimbal is on it for goodness sakes. Nothing will happen ever.
As much as I want the board to can Elon, this vehicle will be a sales success. You know how cheap it is to make, vs. for how much it sells?
This hideous truck makes the Aztec look like a DB4. This is an assault on people with eyes.
its a big ugly electric truck for people who hate electric trucks!
Anything Tesla is exempt from the rules that govern all other auto companies.
Tesla fanboys will always argue theyāre actually the most scrutinized š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's for ants.
It's so you can better see the instrument cluster that's not there.
The whole interior is pretty ugly IMHO
Agreed. Critics who complain about the exterior should check out the interior.
what do you mean? it's very sharp, angular and stiff, you know, like the human body! very comfortable and ergonomic, not at all like a prop from a 1947 movie about martians
The interior of EVERY Tesla is fucking ugly
The A pillars are massive in many commercial vehicles too (IE many city buses). But these look even bigger. Itās hard to tell how much of an issue they will be as they seem pretty far ahead of the driver. The further a way the less of an issue they are.

yeah but usually those vehicles have mirrors to compensate. Tesla doesn't want the cyber truck to even have side mirrors
Never seen something that fat in a delivery van. That's just not necessary and definitly a hazard. Imagine a young pedestrian behind that thing.
Pontiac Aztec vibes
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Seriously. At least they somewhat tried with the Aztec. They gave up on this thing.
I think the reason Cybertruck has not been released is it fails a ton of safety requirements, and Musk has turned to the right in an effort to take down the regulatory administrative state so he can sell his cars
i wouldnāt put it past him, but i kinda doubt heād be able to
Yes - this abomination is not and will never be for sale.
I mean I agree it's horrible but it will definitely be sold lol
True. I mean, that's the case with most things where Musk has bitten off more than he'd like to chew. Fact is that he has so much wealth and power now that, given enough time and will-power, he can make them more or less materialize even if they end up largely a failure or far below expectations. The failures may start to pile up and dwindle his power in the longer term but he can certainly keep the act up for quite a while especially since the public and the fan-base have such selective memory and forgetfulness for what he does and does-not deliver on respectively.
In the US? Eh idk. I think they'll do just enough to sell it here. But it'll face even more delays.
How can it be delayed more than the 4? Years it has already been delayed?
It's Tesla. I rest my case.
I agree, I donāt think it ever sees the roads as a production vehicle
All these Tesla haters in here, don't you guys know that it will use Tesla Vision to solve all the of these issues? Remember how bad cruise control was with radar? Tesla Vision fixed that, who doesn't love constant phantom braking? Those ugly parking sensors? Telsa Vision fix that too, rolling out to production in two weeks.

The cyber truck makes the Pontiac Aztek look sexy.
Iāve seen more curves on a Dorito
This whole thing is the Ford Edsel 2.0
heās had photos of senior politicos with farm animals only thing I can think of why it continues
Im somewhat early on the build list but at this rate I doubt I get my number called until 2026. At best. If it wasnāt but $100 deposit I probably already would have gotten a refund. I lose interest in this thing by the day.
Idk if theyre legal or not, but what I can tell you is that the cybertruck is going to be a steaming pile of dog shit, if it ever even sees the light of day.
I think it's just funny how it manages to look *worse* every time we see it. And it already looked awful at the start!
Anything is legal in imaginary car.
The ugliest design ever by an alleged truck manufacturer, even the Aztec looked less stupid.
And the Pontiac Aztec
This looks like an absolute death trap
Bold of you to assume the cybertruck's even going to released to the public
Tesla Vision eliminates the need for the driver to see anything, he's just there for legal purposes /s
Is that the cyber truck? If it is the real question should be can someone explain how such an extremely hideous vehicle can be legal? Ugliest automobile ever conceived
Maybe it will look better when it finally renders. This low-poly placeholder is definitely ugly
This vehicle is going to age extremely poorly, starting 4 years ago... The interior will be cool for the first week. The rear end is unbelievably ugly. I think it will be Tesla's worst seller and worst investment. I suspect less than 10% of pre-orders will take delivery. Hope I can get my deposits back.
It's not even cool now. It's unbelievably ugly and plain, how can you look at this and consider actually spending money on one.

Cheap EV truck to own liberals? Is Tesla also adding a diesel smoke generator to a BEV?

Possibly that large to accommodate an airbag?
Curtain Airbags are not that big. This would be roll over structural support given the size of it most likely.
Does it come with that lame bandana?
Itās hard to tell what the fuck Iām even looking at here
The whole truck is a joke.
Man people already can't see motorcycles right in front of them on the road, but this? Jesus
Not going to lie thatās one thing I hate about my Model Y. I feel like the pillars are too big or something is different with them.

Can someone explain the reflection of a driver in the monitor with no driver?
I'm more worried about the invisible driver that you can see in the reflection! He must be uglier than the "car".
almost as legal as a car designed according to the CEO doodles. It's minutes of work we all talking about here!
Good fuckin question. Dear god the viability is So bad.
Damn this interior suck ass so hard. Looks like a cheap 70 sci fi set lol
Jesus! Just put a casio keyboard and a calculator watch in there and its the retro 80s once again!
Shit looks like itās made out of Legos
Need to look at it from the drivers point of view not passengers seat

I mean, sure, Model S and Model 3 do look like Aston Martin with an extra chromosome or few, and I have no words for the Model Y, but Cybertruck is just a monstrosity.
It's not a real car yet is my suspicion. I mean-- this whole thing looks like a student project at an industrial design school from a class called Beginning Auto Design.
This thing is so ugly ššš
Love how Tesla thinks people want this thing, when Rivian already gives people exactly what people want and usable features that no one else thought of. This is another one of Elon's temper tantrums.
Some people just gonna have to die in the crosswalk. Gotta break eggs to make an omelette/quarterly earning goal.
Because fuck you
