we were teased with essentially a Ford Raptor with Tesla improvements to bring it into the 21st Century
just look at this render, I know which I'd buy if I could actually afford one...
also what are the drag coefficients of these two? Car design has been converging on an optimal design since we realised a box on wheels wasn't very efficient, I'm all for Tesla bucking trends but isn't this taking it a tad too far?

@alex_ 😄 It is funny but I was actually talking about the other pickup truck - the one that has sinuous curves on its side panels, I thought it was very tasteful design wise. Its nose was blunt and not good aerodynamically.
The new design, in stainless stell, which you just included in the post above, I think it's modern.
I like modern design and Architecture, some of the best of the era is simple and un-ornamented. The Cyber truck (I think that's the name, no?) has a certain similarity to the De Lorean sports car, the one used in the "Back to the Future" films.
This design is courageous, on departing with what most of the industry is doing. All these bland, semi-worn soap bar style cars.
On this new model, the sides are nicely angular, The roof peak is a bit too high, like you mentioned. And the nose is blunt and ugly, unfortunately.
I read an article about it talking about the innovative production techniques it brings in - the body is made of all flat panels, produced with folding machines, not a gigantic and expensive stamping press like normal cars.
Pretty neat, Tesla has some chutzpah indeed. 😉

@design_RG I can understand liking the design, it's definitely distinctive, I think the element that ruins it for me is the roof, the peak just seems very abrupt. But I guess that's the point.
