The biggest issue I see is that it isn’t actually that original, like you I instantly connected it to these wedgy late 60s-70s concepts, and I’d also include the Countach in production cars. Unlike the Cybertruck, however, the Delorean had a chassis and the body panels were a thinner covering rather than providing the structure of the car. Someone had a close look at the 1980 Citröen Karin, methinks. Talk about polarizing! Fascinating truck and article. Maybe Giorgetto Giugiaro's fling is back in style, but he came to his senses. The cyber truck makes all the current trucks and EV trucks look stale. It does make everything else look outmoded, and, especially with the history of notable 70’s cars presented, is not nearly as radical as one might initially think. If Musk can make a grumpy old fart like me stop and go “wow!” he may just be on to something. That alone says a lot about just how far out the Cybertruck is. Maybe this is a fashion that will come around again, but maybe not. Because I’m an old car nut, I was reminded of a famous picture of Henry Ford hitting the trunk of a ‘41 Ford (I think) with a sledgehammer to show off a dent-resistant plastic that he’d had developed from soybeans. But Elon Musk’s ability to keep blowing me away is utterly remarkable. Unlike the Cybertruck, however, the Delorean had a chassis and the body panels were a thinner covering rather than providing the structure of the car. I don’t know that it’s a good feeling, more just disorienting. Having said that, I’m glad to be genuinely challenged by a new product. While the shockingly unconventional design is what has everyone talking right now about the Tesla Cybertruck, there are a few conversations that are going to take on some more importance the closer it gets to production (if it gets there at all). Yes, pickups are indeed the Swiss Army knife of motorized transport. it’s hard to imagine that this is going to go into production in it’s current form. We wonder what Lotus has to say about it. JeffK November 22, 2019 11:21 PM Where I camp, I want hard sides or nothing but a sleeping bag. The Mach-E is just another generic crossover with a fashionable powertrain and a legendary name to leech from. So the big question is how’s the Cybertruck going to be accepted and will it sell? In the 1989 sequel, the hero uses the DeLorean DMC-12 “time car” to travel through time and space. 2c. tesla needs to focus on getting the model 3 prices down, the model y out the door and creating a better system for servicing out of warranty cars. I saw the reveal last night, even with the broken glass (Which I expected, bulletproof glass isn’t like the movies) I found it night and day in terms of excitement to the Mustang Mocky reveal on Sunday, which is basically a 10 year old Infiniti FX BEV with a Mustang badge, just completely predictable and nothing more than a Tesla imitator. The cybertruck I’m not sure will be a game changer, but it is far more exciting than what I expected based on Tesla’s styling up to now. Same with the Panamera, first gen looked weird, but current gen absolutely works. Nope. As they drove, they were bombarded by a barrage of truck drivers commenting on the curious car over CB radio. Obviously, its aerodynamics are going to be much worse than the slippery Tesla sedans, but I’m quite eager to find out what it is. Its styling was polarizing when it came out…today it looks milquetoast tame. But as of today, that’s one inch less than the Cybertruck. I simply love it. Postmates is reportedly looking for a buyer — and WeWork's IPO collapse could be the reason I don’t think the real thing will look exact the same in 2 years when it comes to the market, but probably 90% unchanged. Before anyone starts in on that “real trucks” have separate frames, please note that a unibody can easily be stronger than BOF, it just limits the flexibility of different body configurations. Probably an academic researcher or such. EV-1 dead, Volt dead, ELR dead, Sonic EV (was it ever alive to begin with? The design is too crude, the stats too good, and the price low to be taken seriously. With Rivian or Workhorse ultimately becoming Tesla’s version of GMC? I think Tesla understands that it is never going to crack the FoCheRam market – that one is too entrenched and conservative to go for something like this. I’m not sure that’s a good thing. The Tesla faithful might come around, but defending the design is one thing, buying it is another. Instead we get these flights of fancy. And Tesla stock dropped 6% overnight. I find it utterly hideous. Moderators, please check the comment delete function. It needs mirrors. A new electric vehicle! All the flat surfaces remind me of the radar-evading design of stealth aircraft. Put me in the love (ok, like) column. For the first time EVER I am wishing I had the money to buy a new vehicle. Unlike the factory brodozers, I don’t get the automatic feeling of, “Sorry your *fill in the blank* doesn’t work anymore and you have to overcompensate.” when I look at the Tesla. I found the archive.org link through Jalopnik and subsequently deleted that comment. Elon Musk loved the Esprit – in fact he even wrote on Twitter that his Cybertruck was influenced by the custom-built submarine version of the Lotus … Awful. However, I have had GM and Mopar eras in my life. The submersible Esprit was also equipped with a rear-facing prismatic mirror that had been plucked from an Army tank. There’s not enough of a market for a polarizing design. Popular Mechanics participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commissions on editorially chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites. Tesla plans to offer these accessories. That’s the increasing reality as all automotive brands increasingly are ever-more associated with the various tribes of our land. Cohort Classic: 1964 Chrysler Newport – Chrysler’s Great Downsizing, Chapter 2. In the mid-1970s, he teamed up with Giorgetto Giugiaro, a brilliant Italian designer who had masterminded James Bond’s “underwater” car in The Spy Who Loved Me, wanting an automobile with a futuristic feel. The Boomerang even looks a bit like it has a pickup bed at the rear. I mean, they had to have tested for that, no? 1. We wonder what Lotus has to say about it. And vice versa. The Isuzu Vehicross also comes to mind just for the interesting styling and rugged mechanicals. And of course Ford and Chevrolet have announced EV pickups too. They even slapped the fake grille on it at first to soften the blow. The same themes keep on coming back, like a, ah yes, well you get the reference. The stories on this truck irritate me. The consultant with a Raptor that Paul saw (surely not an academic researcher, they’re poor!) It was the top trending thing on Twitter last night, and the media became a geyser of feedback. The origami school of design was never one of my favorite design languages at the best of times, but this is an abomination. Let’s face it: big gnarly pickups are a hot item these days. I wonder if it will show up in a speed trap? I would have had more praise for something designed to be efficient than something designed to grab eyeballs. A Lotus PR manager strategically parked a pre-production model of the vehicle outside of Pinewood Studios, where the movie was being filmed; it immediately caught the eye of Bond producer Albert R. Broccoli. All of the concepts mentioned such as the Marzal, Boomerang, Esprit (that actually reached production) and even stuff like the MB C-111 and the Dome Zero, they all looked MUCH more production ready than this truck does. Looks like something designed by an 7 year old to be used in a 1980’s cartoon or video game. And if something’s ugly I don’t buy it, however modern and/or technologically advanced it may be, and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in that. I saw the door open and a mid-30s old mild-mannered and impeccably dressed Asian-American guy hopped down, and walked into a store. Just don’t expect to see your contractor pull up in one. Now here is this truck that will be limited in appeal for no good reason and eventually maybe the Semi and the Roadster. It’s referenced as from a 1978 magazine and linked to it, archive.org has the entire publication. That’s not exactly a good thing, climatically speaking. That costs more money. GFG Style Kangaroo – $120,000 With a 90kwh battery pack, the GFG Style Kangaroo aims to reach 279 miles from one … This content is created and maintained by a third party, and imported onto this page to help users provide their email addresses. It must weigh a significant amount. Remarkably, Musk gave him the go ahead to try a second time. There was a stateliness and a presence about it that set it apart from its competitors; This “truck” seems like it was quickly tossed off, putting stats (aerodynamics, coefficient drag, towing capacity, torque, etc) ahead of style. Honestly, when I first saw the photos, I thought it was covered in some kind a sheathing that would pop off during a big reveal. When the first iPod was launched in 2001, there was a moment of perplexity before the love poured in. Now there’s a dream car. The Cybertruck is the Donald Trump of the pickup world. The Boomerang was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and revealed at the 1971 Turin motor show. ), Bolt is relying on an LG powered defibrillator for life-support, GM full size pick-up and SUV hybrids are dead also. The Bollinger B2 EV pickup, a rough-and-ready beast that now looks very tame compared to the Cybertruck, is priced at $125k, with 120kWh battery pack and some 200 miles of range. It has two motors and in-wheel portal gear hubs for massive 15″ of clearance. And it was a clear predecessor of the Tesla Cybertruck. That’s not say I want one, as I have no use for such a thing. At full height, it has 16″ of clearance, more than any other pickup, real or proposed. If someone can come up with a better example as to the Cybertruck’s inspiration, please share it. I’m changing my vote. Musk has said that Giorgetto Giugiaro’s design served as inspiration for Tesla’s recently unveiled Cybertruck, which has a similar geometric design. Looks like a reject from a very early 3D video game where everything had to be super blocky and unshaded for the CPU to handle. GMC Hummer EV Tesla Cybertruck vs. GMC Hummer EV 2021 Genesis GV80 2021 Ford Bronco 2020 … This content is imported from YouTube. Currently my family has a gigantic carbon footprint (and fuel bill). The downside may be that it makes every other Tesla vehicle look kind of boring. This is undoubtedly a critical aspect of squeezing out maximum aerodynamic efficiency, which is always a top priority at Tesla. Do people want to drive a truck that looks like it came from an actual dystopia? For a truck this big the wheels still seem to be too small although they probably are 20″ +. Bottom line: How many Tesla fanbois will buy one of these vehicles? The Lotus Esprit S1 inspired Tesla's new Cybertruck.

Join us for a trip into a world where curves are out, ... More Giorgetto Giugiaro genius. The Model 3 sells worldwide because it works sizewise. The website is very short on details as well. Before this, these sorts of digital music units (or in fact any sort of electronic thingummy) were expected to have more and more buttons, and yet Jobs and Ive went seemingly counter-intuitive with a extremely minimalist interface mechanism. Musk had long said the Cybertruck would start at under $50k. . First of all, welcome back Paul! Most of them were positive although some were a little more hesitant than others. There’s a whole generation that grew up with Star Wars and has immersed itself in so many video games where the Cybertruck looks right at home. That low, low price could do a lot to overcome people’s aesthetic objections. It should do well. When you look at Ford through a historic lens they always seem to find the one memorable and successful product every time there is a “disruption” in the industry And loaded with an ATV, a job made easy with its integral load ramp and a variable height suspension. Form vs Function – I hear a lot about the shape being that way due to aero, ok that’s form following function. 2. But I’m a weirdo who tends to embrace “love it or hate it” designs, I tend to not be on the same wavelength as the masses that determine what’s successful and what’s not. But these were just that: dream cars, to keep us salivating for the next production car, even if they almost invariably didn’t live up to the concept. Bigger wheels would be more in line with the “design” although then I would applaud banning these tanks from the tiny town streets. Those are NOT popular anywhere else in the world due to their size (not the gas mileage, there are plenty of poor mpg vehicles around the world that sell), hence there is no world market for this truck. The Futuristic 100-Knot Superboat That Never Was. For something that has been teased for the last two years this thing looks remarkably unfinished. Another oddity of Giorgetto Giugiaro’s is the car in the film back to the future. Although it is yet another “macho” all-show vehicle, as so many SUVs and pickups have become, this vehicle will not appeal to traditional pickup truck drivers. Curbside Classic: 1994 Dodge Grand Caravan – This Is How We Do It, Nineties Style. I suppose that hardcore Tesla supporters will go for this in a big way, the rest of the population will be totally turned off by it. It really does look like a cheesy ’80s movie prop. How about a Cybertent? They were asked to “envision the cars of 2001.” Brubaker’s was chosen as the main one. While I don’t know that I would call the design necessarily appealing, I must say that it IS a good design overall: well-proportioned and good use of shape and surface. The two-motor AWD version, which will likely be the most common one, does 0-60 in under 4.5 seconds and has 300+ miles of range, and is priced at $49,900. Why look like everyone else? And in a world of look-alike cars and trucks, the Cybertruck is a very welcome addition to the streets. This is also most as much of a wank for Musk as his launching of his personal Tesla Roadster into space. One of the great geniuses of car design, Giorgetto Giugiaro, has announced his retirement after selling the remaining stake in his Italdesign Giugiaro styling house to Audi. One only has to look at recent GM history, Ford may finally do it for me with electric with the Mach E. I like the style, price is within my orbit, and range is realistic for my likely uses. I can easily see Arnold “the Terminator “ driving one of these around Hollywood! I agree with you. Sergio once said regarding the Fiat 500 EV ““I hope you don’t buy it because every time I sell one it costs me $14,000,” “I’m honest enough to tell you that.”. I’m shocked, first by the styling and then by the pricing. I found the launch pageantry ridiculous and juvenile, but I’m nowhere near any target demographic and I dislike auto shows in general and new-model launches in particular, so…whatever. It’s going to be the EV pickup shootout. On a more serious note, this is not a practical truck, the high bed sides and sail panels make it hard to load from the side, the finely mitered tailgate has no tolerance for debris and the use of 1/8″ plate instead of 18-20 gauge sheet is incomprehensible. The RoboCop theme is cool, no doubt, but as an actual production vehicle, I find it comical. Understandably so: this truck is very much out of the ordinary, looking like it just landed on Earth from outer space. He admitted on Twitter — where else? That’s perhaps the insanest thing yet about this reveal. What’s missing for me with Tesla are the elements that have made Ford a fit: Price, perceived reliability, and convenience of ownership in terms of purchase, parts and service. The video went viral and it got people worldwide to talk about this monstrosity, or whatever it’s supposed to be. Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. But then I might be dreaming…. Meaning folks are going to love it or hate it. Let’s face it, customers are the most brand-loyal in the Pick-Up Segment than anywhere else in the market Even the mighty Toyota struggles to make inroads here. We own a business, we live out of town on a large piece of land that is continuously being molded into what we want, and we have hobbies that require trailers and travel. Who knows. Next Post. I love it’s boldness, but it could have been so much less crude.. those origami designs of the 70s actually needed very sophisticated surfacing to make them work – look at a Countach LP 400 in detail and see how curved the lines and surfaces really are. I can’t wait for the inevitable Rivian vs. Tesla comparison tests. The couple eventually loaded the car onto a flatbed truck and hauled it home. So a real base of $59.9k. Here at CC, where change does not come easy for most of our readers, it might be a while…. I don’t necessarily want it, or even like it, but I can’t stop staring at it. 4. First Personal Luxury Coupe – Ford Thunderbird For all of Fords success there have also been numerous failures and forgettable models too. Yes, I know that CC’s Jason Shafer will defend them eloquently for their multifold usefulness, but there’s no doubt an ever-larger percentage of them are being bought by city folks who most likely will not be using them to tow, haul or go off-roading. He’d be a perfect candidate for a Cybertruck. One was cut in half so both Roger Moore and Barbara Bach could be filmed in their respective seats. And I feel rather like a kid again, because I have not encountered such a wild and extraordinary car since I first laid eyes on some of those incredible Italian concept cars of the late ’60s, like the  Lamborghini Marzal and so many others. Its skin durability was put to the test when von Holzhausen put to the test with a sledgehammer against its door. I’d take Tesla’s windows breaking at the reveal over sitting through 45 minutes of Bill Ford skirting around the rationale of calling this long nose minivan a Mustang by telling us how how the infotainment works during and a leisurely drive around a racetrack with a driver who is known exclusively for driving sideways. The answer to the first question is: it depends. Not surprising, as Musk is all about space travel, determined to send humans to Mars, and he launched his personal Tesla Roadster into space, where it’s still exploring the solar system with its dummy driver. On the other hand, the look is such a departure from common form factor today that a big chunk of the potential market is going to take a pass. After thinking it over, I’ve decided the Tesla Cyber Truck most closely resembles a Syrian home made armored car and is best used as a technical. And disliking the design does not make you a “get off my lawn” type. Hard to believe they are taking orders, it can’t possibly reach production without significant changes. The Model 3 shows promise as a reasonably priced and properly engineered product but so much of their production and engineering is tech bro cell phone app grade stuff with a side of Dunning-Kruger because they don’t know automotive hardware and think they are smarter than people who do. 2b. Unless Elon Musk has just pulled an early April Fool’s stunt, the Cybertruck is for real, to be available in late 2021, although I wouldn’t bet on that date, given how optimistic Musk’s timetables tend to be. But where the hell is the midsize two-box SUV that EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD IS BUYING THESE DAYS and that might actually set Tesla on a path to real profitability by removing ANY excuse to buy their product due to practical concerns? BTW, that Bollinger is a dead ringer for the old Land Rover shape right down to the angled rear shut-line of the rear doors. But there’s no doubt in my mind that while the Cybertruck will likely always be polarizing, the ratio of haters to lovers will tip to the latter over time. Rivian is physically smaller, hence a larger worldwide market. The Ram name was used first on the 1981 restyling of the ’72 D-Series. I think that a decent proportion of the luxury truck market might well go for this, given that Tesla is the top selling luxury car brand, at least in certain markets, according to stuff I’ve read. Day by day, I feel ever more like I am living in the future and this truck just pushed that feeling ahead by about a decade. I for one would be totally stoked to buy a $40-50K pickup truck that is five inches short on rear seat head room because it is entirely made of triangles and planes. Very rarely does a vehicle *I* like become favored by the masses. However, in these virtual times for which it is designed, it is appropriately faceless, shiny, attention-seeking, crass and (inherently) empty. So folks who care about that sort of thing may well be attracted to the Cybertruck, along with some of the other EV trucks coming. A lot of it very negative. The question is whether there will be enough substance to the design for it to find buyers after it is no longer new and cool. This pickup intrigues me mightily in a number of ways. There were a LOT of YouTubers there. So why not try something radical and aim it toward existing Tesla customers looking for slightly more utility similar to Honda’s Ridgeline philosophy? Instead of building a wall at the side of the truck, Tesla could have built a door. The DeLorean sold for $25,000 and couldn't drive itself. Personally I prefer the appearance of the Rivan pickup must more than the Tesla “pickup”. Watch Musk, Leno Test Drive the Tesla Cybertruck. There’s a feeling of forced cheer, too, about the positive comments by people, almost as if anyone who dares to not like this design is some kind of fuddydud. I think that’s what Tesla is trying to do here. More refined surfaces, a taller more forward set cab and a more creative and usable bed instead of rehashing sail panels like Brubaker or Honda. Look at things like the Aston Martin Rapide, it works very well although in the abstract it seems wrong. Never Mind the Cybertruck, Here Is a Pixelated G-Wagen From Lumma Design.
