This news makes me smile.

Its basically a large hatchback
Yeah. A wagon.
-
Just wait till DOGE start requiring it for all government vehicles
I'd like a GTA singleplayer cheat making every police car a cybertruck that can't pursue you for long and would rather lose control and do a barrel roll than even get close to you.
-
The main reason I bought a truck was to tow heavy shit, and this piece of fuck trash Cyber truck can't even do that without the battery failing after less than 100 miles. Meanwhile an F150 can tow six times it's own weight thousands of miles.
I'm surprised you mentioned the battery (which is a problem with any EV towing), and not the fact the hitch can just snap off if you hit a pothole hard enough.

"What?! You all wanted electric mail trucks, so here they are!"
(Sadly / Probably)
With all the trailer capacity available it will be able to carry one, maybe even TWO packages!
-
Yep, what else could you call it? It's not a hatchback, a sedan, a convertible, a sports car, etc.
It's an Ute, like the old El Camino etc.
Real pickups have body-on-frame construction with cabs and beds bolted onto the chassis separately, so that the bed can be removed and replaced with a specialized/custom one if necessary.

Hatchbacks can fold down the rear seats to extend the cargo area. The Cybertruck fails even at that.
-
"niche market," is a way of saying they made a bad product few want.
pickup trucks are hardly a niche product especially in the us
pickup trucks are hardly a niche product
Tanks camouflaged as pickup trucks are.

Hmm, it's kind of like he has an established MO for when his businesses are failing due to his own poor decisions and lack of business sense.
Does that mean Canada and Mexico will be sued if the tariffs don't make them beg to be annexed?

The worst El Camino ever?
-
Other truck makers tend to let their vehicles fully render.
I will hand it to Tesla, iterating on the Cybertruck design must have been really fast.

Tesla's were already ugly as sin and these things looked even worse. It's not surprising.
Eh, I think they're fine. They're unique while still being aerodynamic, which is pretty hard in such a crowded field.
I'm not a fan, but I can totally understand those who are.
That said, the Cybertruck throws all of that out the window and is objectively ugly.

The one person I know who owns a cyber truck was upset when I didn't call him when I had a truck needing emergency, my wife's car had broken down on a freeway offramp. The people that own these stupid things are cos playing as truck people even moreso than the average truck owner. The weirder part of his upsetness is, I was already driving a 3/4 truck because my commuter vehicle was not running. All I had to do was go get a uhaul trailer and go get her car. My mind is still boggled that he threw a fit about not calling him.

Hopefully his investors finally learn their fkn lesson and stop giving him money so he can be an ass
Investors learn lesson? That's unpossible!

EV trucks will never make sense. Hybrids can but I have yet to see anything I would buy.

Weird, I've heard Elon's pull out game sucks balls.

It makes more sense if you start from the other side - EVs are a niche market, and an electric truck is a small subset of that.
The Cybertruck sold 38,965 units last year, vs 33,510 for the Ford F150 Lightning.
Which is mind boggling, as the Lightning seems like a good, attractive vehicle, while the cybertruck seems like a pile of shit
-
I'm assuming the electric f150 has greater than 1 wheel drive?
Actually most vehicles are only 1-wheel drive unless they have a locker or similar installed (4x4 would be "2-wheel drive").

Wait what?!?!
