Tesla’s Cybertruck looks mean. Ford’s F150 is downright girly by comparison !!!
Once they hit the market, some of the YouTube truck testers will beat the crap out of them to see how mean they really are. Several million views will likely pay for the damage.
This thing is fugly… I say change the name to Tesla Shard.
Unfortunately, it will sell like hotcakes
I wonder whether the AutoPilot/FSD is programmed to detect whether the mirrors have been removed and adjust the lateral space requirements accordingly.
