So, I seen my first Tesla Cybertruck in the wild today. I was out shopping for some holiday lights and it was parked near my motorcycle when I came out of the store. I had to snap a quick picture.
I have to say, it's one of the most bizarre looking vehicles I've ever seen. I don't think images really do them justice. In person, it's like you're approaching a spaceship or something. Just, truly strange looking and completely out of place from all the other cars in the parking lot. I mean the thing sticks out!
The truck looks like something out of a Roblox game come to life. Considering the weather here, the truck was understandably a little dirty. I found the stainless steel finish lacking. You can even see a slight difference in color between the front and rear panels. That's not camera angle, that's actually there.
I wasn't really impressed with the wheels either. Seriously, I'm not knocking it, or hating on it. I just don't get it. I'd say the price tag on this thing is obscene, but I've been truck shopping lately, and even Ford and Chevy trucks are ridiculously high right now. Or the dealers are high. Or maybe I'm high for even thinking about a new truck. IDK...
The Cybertruck is unique. I guess if you really want to stand out, it does just that. I suppose it's also a bit of a status symbol. Some people, with different tastes, might even love everything about it. IDK, I just couldn't see it and honestly, I expected a little more WoW factor in person that I just didn't experience.
Maybe, I'm missing the entire point and it's all about functionality. Or maybe the wow factor is in the EV part of it. Whatever it is, I ain't getting it. Still, it was really cool to see one up close and in person.
I get the EV part, that's the only part I get.
Have you seen one of these in person?
Love it / hate it?
