I realize the 'vette is ahead and there's a bit of an optical illusion here, but is it that much smaller than that monstrosity?

I walked by a 60's Mustang, old enough to have 289 badges on it, at work. You did wear those cars back then, eh?

some of both:
the vette is small.. but a better comparison is the crv almost next to it..
those cyberdumpsters are full size trucks.

What I don't understand is with so many owners having major Issues why on earth are these selling? Matt Farah did a breakdown and it's not small stuff it's major manufacturing deficiencies plus the founders edition is missing things like a light bar which is listed as included on the list. The Corvette for the win.
 
I am curious to know just how many of those drive-able dumpsters have sold already? It really begs the question for the owners:
Exactly what does one plan to do with that box on wheels? Strictly for show? Wanting to be different (thats for sure) .... Showing off?
It really does not look like a truck one would purchase for practical truck uses... I generally like new and innovative things but
just simply "don't get it with that machine." What on earth was E.M. thinking about when he came up with that? Another possible
biggie just comes to mind as well. How on earth does this thing affect vehicle owners insurance rates!? WoW. Good luck having it
repaired anytime soon also if there is a fender bender?

I've read that a number of people reached out to their insurance companies early on and the quotes were anywhere from $4,500-$6,000 a year for insurance on the Cybertruck. This essentially means it's a throw away in an accident.
 
I did not understand the rest of your post, but agree with this no matter what.
The foundation series Cybertruck was supposed to include a number of additions over the standard Cybertruck. A roof mounted light bar was supposed to be included but none have been installed. The doors don't line up with the body. The fit and finish is closer to a hand made kit car than something a billion dollar company SHOULD manufacture. The drivers door has cut people open trying to get in leading Tesla to write "the correct way to enter. "
 
Remember Atari game Moon Patrol??

It kinda looks like a DeLorean lifted. It hideous, im not impressed and everytime I turn on social media,etc another one is on fire or having a battery issue. Im going out on a limb and a thin one...I would rather have a Mitsubishi or a Yugo over this.

I would drive one, but with a paper sack on my head so no one knew. My rates dropped to 800 bucks a year full coverage. Throw away huh? I would send the junk back to where it came from. I bet you have to use a special extinguisher to put one out too? My buddy does 240v install residential areas for these vehicles and they aren't "getting ahead" of anyone on savings. Depending on how far to the electrical box, there is some money involved.
 
What on earth was E.M. thinking about when he came up with that?
He may have recalled stupid Americans buying ridiculously expensive, worthless prints of cartoon cells or children lining up to buy overpriced sneakers.
Developers have been known to "fall in love with their own baby".

What blows my mind (excuse the 60'sism) is that people are still discussing this rig as if it has merit beyond being an artifactual phenomenon.
