I both love and hate it! It's weird! The interior I just hate though, just that dumb screen in the middle of the dash like the Model 3. 
New Tesla truck unveiled

Umm, thats how you browse Star Citizen ship sales page while driving.
That's so you can play Star Citizen on Googles Stadia while the truck drives you to work in the morning.I both love and hate it! It's weird! The interior I just hate though, just that dumb screen in the middle of the dash like the Model 3.
I wonder if it will work for watching @Montoya videos on Youtube.
R1T - Rivian
Rivian is an electric vehicle manufacturer on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever.

I have to admit, an electric pick-up truck makes sense. Lots of power for towing, lowered center of gravity due to placement of batteries, so it doesn't roll as much and the larger size means you can pack more batteries in it. In addition to the bed, you can also fit a large trunk in the front, which the Tesla doesn't look to have. And I'm not actually sure if the Rivian has that either.

Dont forget, the dude is building big ass rockets that could probably fit a couple of these in it. We might see one on the moon and / or eventually mars. I can see astronauts on the ATV just having a damn good time lol
Pwnage
Commander
I'm going to withhold judgment until I see the F-150 electric and it's price/specs.
Anyone remember the old Metal Storm movie???? This is why I cant take this truck seriously...…………….. lmao!!!
I didn't even notice the guy shattered the windows lmao....
In what was one of the more surreal product launches I've seen, Tesla debuted its $39,900 Cybertruck pickup tonight. After running through some specs and hitting the truck's door with a sledge hammer, Elon asked an onstage companion (Tesla's lead designer, Franz von Holzhausen) to demonstrate the strength of the Tesla "Armor Glass" by throwing a solid metal, baseball-sized ball at the driver side window.
While the glass didn't completely shatter, it did appear to crack from edge to edge.
"Oh my [bleeping] God," Musk laughs. "Well, maybe that was a little too hard."
So they tried it again on the rear passenger window... and it cracked too. "Room for improvement," Musk says with a shrug.

That truck reminds me of a 3D rendering of a vehicle from a late 1990s videogame.
Low polygon count and all angles. It's like the 1990s Lara Croft of trucks!

I'd drive one my last car was designed in the 1970's and was basically one big wedge. I'd get rid of the flatbed and put a solar panel there. And fill that bit with batteries too. And have nowhere to park because it's bigger than most parking bays in the UK.
Ive seen an article that said it will have solar panel charging, I'd guess as the flatbed cover maybe?
Looks like the Tesla truck might have some competition...

Tesla pickup and Semi get potential new rivals from startup Neuron
Neuron is a new face in the electric-vehicle game, and even though Tesla hasn't even shown its pickup yet, it wants a piece of the pie.

I honestly like the look of that pickup truck.
Finally an electric truck with a decently sized frunk shown:

Only 230-300 mile range however.
