Do people actually hate Cybertrucks or are people just hating it because another person hate it?

They are very polarizing, and Elon’s antics make it easier to hate. There are many lovers of the car itself. Maybe not for $100k, but at $60k or less they seem to be selling

They’re built like shit, they look hideous, and they can’t do “truck things” like hauling or towing without severe range loss. It’s just not a good vehicle. I say this as an EV fan and prior model 3 owner.

No, they suck. And literally the only reason they exist is because the United States has terribly outdated Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in regards to pedestrian protection. It’s terribly unsafe for pedestrians, as well as to others on the road. The build quality is shit and most of the panels are quite literally glued on. There is a reason it is not sold in most of the world (it fails horribly in any standard automotive pedestrian test), and it’s going to be fun to watch the fallout as more of these end up on the road. In addition, everyone that drives these are borderline insufferable, and have made their entire personality about this truck, which is not better or even on par to any pick up truck on the market in any way. They will all be falling apart very quickly. Edit: downvoted to oblivion. I love cyber truck owners lol. Nothing I said was factually wrong. Sorry. Go look up any AEB/VRU passing criteria for Euro NCAP and you’ll quickly see it won’t be able to pass. It doesn’t even have a pedestrian crumple zone lol.

It's the looks. That's pretty much it. It has some cool features and would make a great truck if it didn't look so silly. I remember back in middle school I took this science class and one section of class we used this sim game where you built a vehicle and then the game simulated how fast it would go. It was trying to make an aerodynamic vehicle that would go faster than everyone else in the class. Anyway, most of the cars looked like Cybertrucks. That's not a good thing. It looks like a car a middle school kid would build.

It's the only vehicle where other people feel like they HAVE to give you their opinion on it. They're compelled to, for some reason. I think they look cool. I'd for sure own one. We had one for 48 hours over the summer, and every single person who saw us in it had to let us know what they thought even though it's a common vehicle in my area. I started just cutting people off. "I just think they're ug--" "I actually don't care what you think." Whatever. I think they're cool 🤷🏾

I don't hate it, I will continue buying Teslas down the road and will only own Teslas in my lifetime, but CT is just not my style.

Look grew on me. But only when I started seeing it in other colors. The standard metal kind of ruins it. But that’s just me.

Best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Not even close. Steer by wire changes you forever.

I think they’re ugly, but I still like them. I got downvoted hard when I said the CT would be Tesla’s best selling vehicle if they lowered price to $49,999

On many levels, I credit the Cybertruck with (part of) Rivian’s success. The market needed an EV truck, and the Lightning wasnt going to do it. The Cybertruck sold the concept and got everyone talking; Rivian executed it in a way that didn’t look or feel like…a Cybertruck.

Idk but I really don’t care about other people’s opinion. I plan on buying one day. I’m kind of mad, if I hadn’t purchased a Juniper 3 weeks ago, before they dropped the price, then I would have one on order right now. Here is the loaner I have until Monday while they fix some issues with my juniper. Wished it was mine. https://preview.redd.it/mexrpsoo1zlg1.jpeg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48d3cfae3d13a0d780a7a5d4b2485a0d61ecc985

I want one because I can’t believe it exists, and I want people to make wild cars. Like the Hyundai N Vision. Hyundai is out here building unique vehicles and so I bought a Hyundai.

I am pro Tesla (I’ve owned 3 Teslas) but hate the Cybertruck because it looks ugly in my opinion and barely serves as an actual truck.

I think they are cool looking. I drove one for 5 days and thought it was an awesome vehicle to drive. I was worried it was gonna be a pain in the butt to park, but it was actually very easy. I’ll probably never own one because I don’t need a truck and it is out of my price range I’ll stick with my model Y

I second this. Love my Model 3, think Teslas are great products, but CT’s not my style.

Tbh it’s not even a good steer by wire system. We began development on steer by wire over a decade ago and the system back then was significantly better than this. The feedback system is subpar and it’s very laggy compared to the systems we previously developed. It could be substantially better.

Online world 8 out of 10 hate it. Real world 8 out of 10 like it

I think the worst thing about the cyber truck is the refrigerator stainless steel color. If they literally just released it in any other color it’d be a lot less hated, the ones painted black look 1,000% better

I hate it because it fell short of critical specifications compared to its original advertised specifications. It fails on range, reliability, and more importantly price for all that it offers. I don't care how it looks, I wanted 500 miles of range. Instead it fell far short of that even with a stupid range extender that was never actually released. I don't even tow but it can't even be trusted for that. WhistenlinDiesel exposed how it's aluminum subframe can't be trusted for actual truck duties. The list goes on and on, and the sales number reflect reality, it's a failure in almost every way.

I like CT in colors other than the stock one. Black is sexy for example and I have seen some really cool custom colorways.

I’m not sure what world you live in but I absolutely do not find that the case. Everyone in the Bay Area laughs at these goons. No one finds it amusing after you see it the first time, and the “cool” factor wore off very fast. Now it’s just a shitty truck with panels falling off.

This. It’s wild that people defend this truck so heavily when it fell short on EVERY SINGLE metric that was “promised”, and has substantial build quality issues.

The top two reasons the average person hate it in my opinion are that 1st, Elon. And 2nd, people hate it because another person hate it. In other words, its trendy to hate it, it gives you some social credits. In my personal opinion, I do not like Cybertrucks. But my reason for not liking it has more to do with me not liking big trucks like that. I would not get any truck of that size, its just not my thing. But I couldnt care less about Elon or about what other people think.

I concur, a black one drove passed me on the highway today and that's quite cool

Yep. I don't care about how it looks. I care about it's performance, reliability, and how much it cost. It's insane how anyone can defend such a piece of shit. If they buy it for the looks sure, you like how it looks but that's the only redeeming factor for this turd. It gets stuck in snow, breaks down on trails, and can't tow. Who is buying it aside from clout chasers and those who actually like it's apperance? Clearly the market doesn't want this vehicle for the reasons I care about and more.

i wonder how successful Rivian would be if tesla just made a Truck everyone was expecting.

[removed]

I own a Tesla, and I love my car. But since I bought it, Elon politicized it to the extreme. Anyone who owns one newer than mine I judge hard. I would never buy a new one again. I don't understand anyone who buys a new Tesla now. I've found people go out of their way to give us "accidental" door dings these days also.

I like the vehicle, but not the stainless steel look (wraps help a ton), but I hate the status symbol it turned into…

Too strange looking. Obviously thats where they wanted to go with it. Be unique. Its a love or hate relationship, no in-between

It’s an ugly vehicle. It’s the Pontiac Aztek of EVs.

> It's the only vehicle where other people feel like they HAVE to give you their opinion on it. … > I think they look cool. I'd for sure own one. Proving yourself right.

If the car makes Pontiac Aztek look better than it, do you really think people hate CT just because others hate it? Edit: Besides the appearance... I strongly believe it's a CHOICE buyers make buying horrible build quality cars. CT doesn't seem to fit Form nor Function imo.

Just the looks? Not the price or the specs and reliability? I think those are far more important than the looks, and even then it's a huge failure compared to what was offered on it's reveal. As for making a great truck, it's aluminum subframe fails to tow reliably when pushed.

People hate it because other people hate it. There’s no actual legitimate argument being made - other than it’s not to everyone’s aesthetic taste.

It never grew on me

I don't care for the way it looks and I don't like driving a vehicle that stands out especially given the negative attention. I'm antisocial so I'd rather not talk to people so I love my model s plaid because most people think it is just a regular model s. Before I had a I8 and I loved the car but I hated how many people wanted to talk about the car. Now besides the looks I think cybertruck is phenomenal. The acceleration for a truck is amazing. The interior room is incredible. I even love the different uses for the bed. It does somethings well. Then the absolute coolest thing that makes me want to have it is the body stopping pistol calibers! 45 9mm and even stopped 5.7 round and 00 buckshot. I've shot a lot of junk cars and those rounds cut thru like butter. So its like having some rare insurance that if you get lost in a bad part of the city or road rage that the body will stop the bullet lol.

I love them.

I don’t live in the Bay Area so people aren’t as stuck up here as

But the Aztek at least was versatile and lived up to the “it’s the versatility, baby!” slogan. This truck does nothing. 660cc Kei truck has a larger bed then this thing and is 1/4th the weight.

This. 99% of the hate you see online you will not get to your face. Driving down the road you may get a thumbs down or the bird, but stopped at a light or something? I had a guy give me a thumbs down while almost drifting into my lane. I caught up to him and he dove off the exit the second I came to a stop and started rolling the window down. Plus any push back and people fold like paper or just straight up telling them you don't care about their opinion usually doesn't compute in their brain so. I don't hate CT and I think they're cool. Just not my taste.

People want to fit in. Saying you hate the CT gets you easy social credits. It’s one thing to think it’s ugly (there are plenty of ugly vehicles out there), but the CT gets the hate because it’s trendy to hate. Any pickup truck driver that tries the CT ends up liking it. The only downside is tow range (and having to unhitch to charge) but the majority of truck guys rarely tow anyway.

The bed is literally smaller than a 660cc Kei Truck. I’m curious what “different uses” you are referring to for the bed that any other normal truck can’t do…

[deleted]

You can run your house with the cybertruck battery and a couple additional devices from Tesla. That’s quite versatile if you ask me. I’d still rather buy a power wall than a cybertruck.

They sold better than the F150 lighting. That should tell you everything you need to know.

[deleted]

It literally does nothing better than a normal truck though? If you are actually using a truck for truck things, then a fast 0-60 time is useless.

As far as I can tell, it’s just the appearance… Which pretty much sums up our society. I understand it may look rather “garish” to most people, but hey… If you don’t like, then just don’t buy it?? Personally, I love the look, and the fact that people are so arbitrarily against it only makes me like it more. 😂 (I already have a Model S, but if I ever had the need for 2 different vehicles, Cybertruck would be high on my list)

You just have to watch whistlen diesel review it. Sure it's quick, yes it falls apart, yes the rear casting snaps off, other than that, as long as you don't plan on using it as a truck, you're fine. Then you could watch out of spec reviews, see how bad it is at range and charging. You'd be hard pressed to find a real positive review. No buys them because, well, it's a ct. It has nothing going for it.

They look crazy ugly imo and no instrument cluster

I’m glad you like it! I know a few people with a rivian and a cyber truck. I mean objectively it isn’t a good vehicle. It can’t do truck things. It’s ugly. It can’t tow without severe range loss.

That’s what the dash cam is for, they can try but you’ll be recorded lol

They're big and ugly is what I dislike about them but hate is too strong of a word for something that doesn't matter.

99.9% of the people that tell me they hate the cybertruck have never been in one or driven one. Throws all credibility out the window tbh.

[deleted]

[deleted]

I could have overlooked all of this had they just kept the pass through. The idea of camping in the vault with the AC or heat from the cab was amazing. I was so excited to have a “separate” bedroom and living room then with outlets and also a roof I could open up in the morning. A person can dream. I like camping in the Y and I’ve even done it in the S - so I was stoked to have this stupid looking truck just for that. Now it’s a non-starter.

When you promise a truck for 40k, 50k, and 70k And release that same truck for $120k… you tend to get a lot of hate That said, 60k seems to be a great price

[deleted]

Cool tech, cool features, fast, buuuuuut ugly af!

The people I know that hate it fall into 1 of 3 camps - Elon / Trump hate = Tesla hate - “it’s ugly” - “it’s not even a usable truck”. But they know nothing about the truck and have no criticism of mid sized pickups, trucks with unibody design, trucks with 4’ bed, etc.

If you ask them why they hate the CyberTruck you will have your answer and I would bet large sums of money that most have never been in one Just my opinion though

They don’t door ding the Cybertruck 😁

The CT gets top marks from the NHTSA and IIHS, yet people still scream “unsafe” or try to move the goalposts to pedestrian safety (as if getting hit by any giant US pickup truck is “safe”) lol. There’s a reason why all the pedestrian tests focus on the avoidance features (because any impact from a truck is likely deadly). The fact that you immediately jump to the usual projection of “it’s bad and will fall apart soon and all the owners will regret their choices” says it all. Your bias blinds you.

Except that’s wrong? The only model that is representative to the numbers that were listed is the Dual Motor AWD. Using “premium” as a model is wrong when it’s the same drivetrain. The upgraded seats don’t change the range. Further, there is no single motor, and the Tri Motor fails to reach the 500 miles promised. Considering that only 1 model hit the range target set nearly SEVEN years ago, I’m not sure I would be so quick to be calling that a “win”…. they hit the range target by less than a 10% margin lol.

Almost two years with the Foundation Cyberbeast, and I love it. It’s been excellent for hauling our boat, heading up to the mountains, construction jobs, and everyday driving with FSD. My only disappointment is that I feel I may be losing my sex appeal; middle-aged white women don’t flip me the bird as much as they used to. 😄

Congrats on beating your range estimate set NEARLY 7 years ago by….less than 10%. Hope you drive at 55mph like the EPA test, otherwise those tires are gonna give you the actual range real quick. Edit: insecure CT owner argues then blocks me over given thread. Thank you for being your stereotype.

I’m in the it looks ugly camp. My brother in law has one and at least wrapped it so it doesn’t look like a stainless steel kitchen appliance.

IIHS is about OCCUPANT safety. It has absolutely nothing to do with PEDESTRIAN SAFETY. No surprise, a brick keeps an occupant safe. There is absolutely zero mention in the 3XX FMVSS series for pedestrians. I think you glossed over the part where I said “terribly outdated” regulation. There is zero bias here, I spent half a decade in passive safety and working to improve the regulatory standards, directly with NHTSA. A lot of my work directly impacted how autonomous vehicles are regulated today. Safety is not a subjective matter.

* More efficient * More torque/horsepower * Built-in tonneau cover * Built-in power inverter * Dent-proof body * Rust-proof body/frame * Air suspension (comfort and clearance) * Rear-wheel steer (***WAY*** easier to drive/park) If it was the same price as a gas truck, why wouldn’t I want the Cybertruck? Towing is the only weakness of EV trucks right now IMO (both range and having to unhitch to charge).

More efficient than what? How are you measuring that? Want to take a 2000 lb loaded CT, convert over the efficiency at 70mph, and compare it to a hybrid truck for me? Tonneau covers have existed for decades, offered by nearly OEM. Not sure how that’s unique. Watched someone dent a panel yesterday in a parking lot, not true.

I meant electric vs gas price (my Ram 1500 was getting 10 MPG and needed 89 octane “Plus” gas). Charging an EV truck is going to be much cheaper for most (unless you’re paying California electric prices I suppose).

And yet it’s…no longer for sale? Why would they cut such a “high demand” vehicle?

yeah, even without elon's antics - it is already polarizing. Then add elon's tweets and hand gestures - it just further polarized it.

I live in the backwoods parts of the ozarks and the Cybertruck is absolutely hated by everyone, we have at least 10 people in town that own Cybertrucks and they get trash talked pretty much every time their out in public. Personally I hated them at first as well but as time has went on the Cybertruck has started to grow on me at least a little.

Once again, crunch the numbers on the above for me and then try to make that statement. Sure, you get a torque heavy V8 or Diesel that is intended for, you know, truck things, it’s gonna drink gas. But if you are going to claim efficiency, then actually do a real comparison, it falls flat.

I thought it was a great option when it was announced for $40k. At $107k it was laughable. Even at $60k you could get a more capable truck + a used model 3.

From length and width i know it is smaller than my short bed dodge but to me it didn't feel that much smaller. when you factor in wheel wells and I got a big meth injection tank back there. I love the fact that the air suspension will lower for loading shit. I love the built in motorized tonneau cover. I'm always cleaning my bed out. The fact the cover can then hold 300lbs so you could even strap some shit on there while having the bed filled. For anything more than that I use a small trailer to go to the strap yard. Then you can throw more shit in the frunk. But either way with my short bed I get really creative strapping crap down and could do the same with the cyber. So when you add up the bed, large interior space and frunk for me personally thats a decent amount of space for crap. I got a 6.7 cummins pushing 700hp and with all my mods it won't accelerate anywhere near as fast as the tri motor. I'm running 37 inch tires and I can do high 12s 1/4 mile in 4wd. I got all kinds of mods with arp head bolts and built trans and then 4.56 gears. Even got a electric locker. So the fact the cyber truck does the 1/4 in 11 flat with 35 inch tires I just think is awesome! Will I ever own one probably not. but definitely a lot of things I like about it.

[deleted]

Okay, I take the loss on range. Congrats? Once again, drive above 50mph and let me know how those tires do for real-world range.

tbh we here people make jokes all time about the look. BUT as soon as i offer to let them in it and check it out i've yet to have someone so no.

I don’t like it, it’s ugly to me. With all the design professionals that Tesla has access to, I was really surprised that was the best they could come up with. But for those that enjoy it, and like it, more power to em.

[deleted]

This. I think Tesla would be wise to start advertising it with wraps to show what’s possible.

That’s….not a true statement. By this logic 1mph is the most efficient. In fact, speed efficiency is highly variant depending on the vehicle, but it absolutely does not get worse as speed increases. It gets better, than worse. Learn how to have a real conversation.

I'm glad it exists but I'm not really a truck guy so wouldn't get one myself.

A certain % of people are just low intelligence enough to think they should care about what someone else drives.

Personally, I think that they are ugly, and not that useful, and don’t have the capability of our existing truck (F350 diesel). But looks are subjective. Back in the day, people thought that AMC pacers looked cool too.

It’s the looks. Multiple truck owning friends of mine that will never drive anything other than a truck love the my tesla and have said once a normal one comes out they will get it.

What more “capable” truck?

Pretty much the geometry- if it looked like a normal truck, it would be a best selling vehicle. Having a normal bed, normal dimensions.

It's an Anti Trump move by many. Cyber Trucks we're laugh on prior but it's way over board now

You've clearly never owned a Lambo

Weird to think everyone has the same tastes as you. I don't like how the Aztek looks, but I love the look of the CT. Yes , there's both different looking compared to the standard, who cares? Why compare it with the Aztek when it looks a lot more like a Delorean.

Ford F-150 Hybrid: $3.3/gal / 23mi/gal EPA = $0.14/mi Cybertruck: $0.11/kWh / 2.86mi/kWh = $0.04/mi Am I doing something wrong? BEV still seems cheaper than FHEV.

I love them. I love how different it looks and how it has the metal like a DeLorean.

You lost me - and made me laugh hysterically - at “rust-proof.”

Just a typical Redditor in the wild.

Can you expand how you landed on 2.86mi-kWh first?

Asking the audience of Reddit… you’re starting tilted heavily to one side

Iykyk with PowerShare. That kind of setup in itself when you were already going to invest in battery storage is like getting a free truck with your purchase.

Ugly, no range towing, not really useful as a truck.. Kind of gimmicky.. expensive. Better on the moon. I prefer my y.

I read that just wrapping it destroys the stainless steel finish since there's no paint to prevent chemical reactions between the adhesive and the steel lol

Pretty sure the question is about hate coming from the general population. And for the general population, I think just the way it looks and what it symbolizes are enough for people to hate it. Price, specs, reliability are metrics that are probably more important to the subset of people who had some initial interest in buying the Cybertruck.

" I don’t know of any major issues." - this is kinda of a you problem if this is all you know about the truck.

Not a Tesla owner here. Own diesel trucks and diesel engined cars. I don't hate anything. My life is too busy to care what you do with your life and keeping it to yourself. Those Cybertruck haters or any haters for that matter got too much time on their hands. Go enjoy your own fuking life and stop giving shit about what other people do with their lives.

forget the antics. it's the entire world is laughing at how bad this truck is. from the build quality, to how dangerous it's design is.

I think people tend to hate just to hate. It's instinctive to dogpile for any x reason. Personally I love the look. It's my PS2 racing sim games come true! Outside of that? Yeah totally a bit visually impractical.

the days after it debuted it got millions of preorders

Hauling in the CT doesn't significantly affect range. Towing range loss is similar to other EVs - stick a pair of kayaks on the roof of a Model 3 and it loses 30-40% range just from wind resistance.

I bought my MYP for 60k three years ago, not going to lie, I’m in a truck person, but I am feeling a little fomo seeing that the cyber truck will be offered at $60k

F150, Sierra, RAM 1500, Silverado, etc. All outperform the Cybertruck at normal truck tasks and off roading. The Cybertruck wins in cost to operate, acceleration, and tech. As I said above you could get the best of both worlds for $60k. A standard full size pickup for towing and off roading and a slightly used Model 3 for commuting. Edit: I suppose the Ford Lightning would be considered a direct competitor but I havent driven/owned one as all the Ford dealerships within 250 miles of me are shitty.

Franchement, c’est surtout un objet polarisant. Le Tesla Cybertruck a un design radical, donc il provoque des réactions fortes. Ajoute à ça l’image très clivante de Elon Musk, et ça amplifie tout. Ce n’est pas que “tout le monde déteste” c’est juste que ce qui choque fait plus de bruit en ligne

It's ugly. So ugly. But past that I hate it for the same reason I hate all the modern pickup trucks: it's too big. Pickups have gotten way too big, cybertruck is no different.

I love Tesla, they are easily my favorite cars right now… except the Cybertruck, which genuinely looks like a cool but wildly overpriced toaster.

Technically it’s a fine vehicle. As a truck doing practical truck stuff not so much.

- to its* original advertised specifications - how its* aluminum subframe

my local hybrid/EV shop always has 1 being worked on, and they hate it they like the 3/Y tho

That few people bought the Lightning and it was poorly marketed, and then the government cut off the incentives at the worst time for it, forcing Ford to change their plans?

I don’t know. I am in Europe, so it’s too big anyway. I‘d still buy a Y even in the US. Or maybe an S. Those look nice.

I hope you never need to dodge something at the last moment. And I really hope you never hit a human.

They are the physical manifestation of a meme. Complete utter nonsense.

Status symbol is funny because it’s still slightly less expensive than everything else in its price range “I couldn’t afford a g wagon” basically.

I like cybertrucks.

I’m pretty sure bed size in area is similar to F150. Maybe you’re measuring cubic feet and due to its triangular shape it takes a big hit. Edit…oh you’re comparing bed size to a 2 seater minimalist utility truck….that bed size is going to beat most 4 door full sized trucks, right? Ok clearly you hate it, and there are plenty of valid criticisms, but bed size isn’t one of them.

Ok ok so the main thing about cyber trucks is let’s say you actually want to tow something across a long distance. Guess what you getting low range (80-100)and you have to Supercharge over the trip Not bad. Ok but what it is pouring out. Or icy, hot AF. You have to get out of your car, unhook, then SC, then hook it back up Then do that a few more times. It’s not a fun event

They’re fugly! That’s all…

What a silly question. None of them beat it at towing range for a boat. /s

Not buying a car because of who their CEO is..? Lol If buying a Ford or a Toyota do you research their CEO first?

Battery options in the Silverado EV put it to shame. I drove 300 miles with 2000' elevation gain, in the rain, with a huge not aerodynamic 800 lb chipper in the back yesterday. Got here with 65 miles to spare. It's awesome.

I think the issue with the CT is that it appeals to only a very small group. Most people who need a truck, are not going to want to go electric. The ones who do, likely already have brand loyalty somewhere else, since most truck drivers have some sort of brand loyalty. The ones who do drive a truck and are disloyal, would also need the CT to do things that people aren’t confident it can do as effectively as it says. Such as long days on trails or sitting on the beach for hours without the elements corroding things. People who don’t need a truck, usually have other options at Tesla that more fit their needs than this. That’s all not to even mention the controversial design, and Elon’s public antics towards it. So the problem is that it appeals to a small group of buyers, and even that group is shrunk when you factor in the questionable looks, and Elon’s behavior.

Hyundai is the ugliest car on the planet, they haven't made a sub to hate on it.

For me they're just insanely ugly. I love the idea of an electric pickup, and wish with every bone in my body that it looked even slightly more normal. I probably would have ended up buying one if it wasn't made out of ten polygons

Well I hate the looks. So I don’t plan to test drive one. I assume the tech is similar to other Tesla vehicles, which I love.

On Facebook, every time I see someone bashing Tesla I post this cartoon and ask them, "Have you actually ridden or driven one?" The answer is almost always "no". https://preview.redd.it/mhklrptex0mg1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab7d4c24b8432f5c78f6dfc82272c8184f520a4d

Interesting, I worked for Tesla for almost 10 year and I have driven more Teslas, including the cyber truck, than most anyone here. I only stand behind 3, Y, and S, the X and cyber are complete crap from the fit and finish to the clunk drive by wire. Super happy I don’t work for them anymore

Nothing wrong with the CT. It's all manufactured hate.

Drive one, the steering by wire and 4 wheel steering is amazing

The problem is Ford and Toyota don't shove their CEO in everyone's face, and do the highly politicized things as publicly, so it's easy to ignore. People who aren't researching it know about Elon's politics, but not Ford or Toyota's CEOs.

Cybertrucks are fugly.

You really think people need to drive something to hate how it looks? it's the ugliest vehicle I've ever seen. it's comically ugly.

Hey man, we get it, you don’t like the Cybertruck. Coming here to spew your false bullshit about it on everyone’s comments is lame though. Nobody gives a shit about the weirdo Bay Area. It’s a big world out there. Like this commenter said, my experience in life is the complete opposite of what negative people like you are determined to tell everyone online.

Over promised and under delivered. Elons MO

Hahahahaha

If a vehicle is less safe to other people on road, they’re well within their rights to care. Trucks with sharp edges are more likely to injure pedestrians in a crash, so should not be on our roads. I’m not singling out the CT. Vehicles where you can hide an entire kindergarten class in the front blind spot should require a commercial drivers license and vehicles that lack standard height bumpers & headlights shouldn’t be road-legal. That covers a lot of pickup trucks & SUVs.

Supposedly ford is working on a $30k electric truck alternative to the lightning. Don’t know any more specifics than that but I saw an article yesterday about it

I hated it from the beginning. Terrible design and looks cheaply made. One of the worst designed vehicles I've seen in decades. It's equivalent to a Pontiac Aztec. They really screwed up. They should have made it look better, or offer a more affordable mid-size version sort of like a Ford Maverick etc.

I pre-ordered one despite hating the look when they first released for sale but strictly on the claim of 500 miles of range figuring it could be a good road tripper. Once the range didn’t pan out I didn’t see any appeal since I didn’t like the look, didn’t like the tech compared to the X, didn’t need a truck most of the time and when I did need one I needed a bigger more useful bed.

Why did you have to make concessions?

Had an F150 and was super-excited for the CT to come out. When it was finally unveiled I was saddened knowing I would not be driving that monstrosity. So I bought a Y and was very happy with it. I considered the F150 Lightning when it came out but didn't jump because I was "still invested" in the Y. Now that Ford stopped production I'm glad I didn't get it. Rivian will be a good option next for me if they survive. I'll take a look at the range-extender version of the upcoming electric drive train F150 but I'm less enthusiastic about it now... TLDR: I hate the looks, not the specs

Wish it didn’t double in the price than originally quoted but I really like them. Love my MYP but the CT will prob be my next purchase

I remember when they announced the Silverado EV. It looks like an awesome option. I tried to hold out for it, but then my 16 year old Yukon finally took a dump and I ended up in a model 3.

Tesla is still FAR ahead with software. My truck is on wifi right now at the cabin, but I can't connect my phone to it at all. It really depends on cell connections, so not good in the mountains. But... the driving experience is still top notch if you get back in the market. I prefer it to my Model S Performance for road trips. One pedal driving feels the same, and supercruise and lane keeping are better than HW3 FSD in a 2019. 468 miles of range and 200+ kWh is something else. It's like getting a free truck if you compare it as a battery system to powerwalls.

They're really ugly. Really. People think they're ugly and hate Elon.

It’s an ugly ass vehicle. That’s all I hate about it. Like something I drew in kindergarten.

Just plain ugly and a rip off of a 1970’s concept car. Elon claims to be a genius but he’s just bought other people’s work or ripped off someone else’s. What has he actually come up with himself other than hype?

It's an ugly vehicle, had incredibly poor build quality on release, and people bought and AVOIDED buying them specifically to make a point. It's more of a social experiment than a vehicle. Rivian had the right of it. Arguably, the Silverado EV could be a much better competitor but other companies refuse to make their use experiences as seamless as Tesla. If it weren't for Tesla's software and charging systems the CT would have already been a mothballed project.

The $30k BEV truck is going to be WAY smaller than the Lightning. More like Maverick/Ranger.

Yeah I mean I king of assumed that. I would personally prefer that though. Would be nice to be able to park without pissing everyone else off 😂

Reason 1) It's ugly Reason 2) Its always gonna be ugly Reason 3) Its a truck. Trucks are too big, and are pretty unsafe for those of use in smaller cars to be around. I'd love to see some of the Cybertruck features in other models.

I own and love my m3 but it just feels like with the timing etc, that the CT has become the MAGA hat of the highway.

I feel like a lot of people hate it for the appearance but I would say the opposite. It’s one of my favorite visual designs I’ve ever seen for a car, however from my understanding the exterior metal panels have a bad habit of rust/aging compared to normal paint If that wasn’t an issue then I’d look into buying one just for the appearance alone

I love the truck, but the steering didn’t feel life changing at all to me tbh

People will really say this and then go hop in their PT Cruiser tho. I like the look from everywhere except straight behind it personally

It's one of the least practical vehicles on the market and has a high price tag. Yes people hate the cybertruck and are not buying them.

i think i most people hate it because they’ve been told to hate elon. my reasoning is that this opinion is coming from people who drive dodge calipers and the like. It’s funny how these same people don’t go out of their way to let everyone in their life know how ugly their own car is but can’t go without pointing out every cyber truck. like why aren’t you pointing out that nissan micra or smart car as hideous? oh that’s right your tv didn’t tell you to hate those cars.

I think it is ugly as hell but at the same time so cool. I would not want one personally even if money was not an issue. And I still look every time they pass by. My dream was always the X. That will never materialize.

The truck market in general is in a design funk.

I personally always thought it was a cool concept car. Production vehicle? Not so much. It's like if an auto manufacturer came out with a mass-produced Batmobile. Would be ridiculous.

I can’t work out if I hate it. As others said, polarising

There is absolutely nothing on earth wrong with the CyberTruck. You are completely right to say that people just don’t have a mind of their own. During the pandemic, I knew I was healthy enough to easily withstand it, so, never took the vaccine. Not because of conspiracy theories etc. It was a case of knowing who you are, and knowing it was not necessary to take a “rushed to market vaccine.” But I knew people who were even better health wise than myself who took the vaccine twice, which was not necessary. Conclusion, most humans have no mind of their own, they jump on the bandwagon, sometimes, stupidly. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.

I think its a complete failure of aesthetics from a company that defined modern EVs.

Not saying that everyone who buys a Cybertruck is an asshole, but at the very least, they have a burning desire to be the center of attention.

If I could afford it, id get over the exterior appearance and the stigma simply from the fact that a good, reliable electric truck is game changing. I still don't trust Ford and definitely not Rivian etc.

I dint like the short bed, not really a truck I can use for construction. And I don't like the look.

People buy expensive unreliable cars all the time. I see Range Rovers on the road daily. I think specs are important but that’s not what’s holding this back. This could be the most reliable car on the planet with all the best features and I still don’t think it would sell well.

it's definitely not just the looks. it's an unreliable car with many issues. it's also a dangerous car for everybody around you and it's why you don't really see it in europe.

100% this. I think it looks stupid and makes a statement that nobody needed made.

love the design. it’s very polarizing and gets talked about a lot. i think the cybertruck will be like the eiffel tower, where people hated it at first. called it an “eyesore”. but 100+ years later its iconic. i’d never own one though lol, it draws too much attention to my liking

I don't hate it, but I don't like it. I think they look good wrapped, but I feel like as a truck its nearly useless.

Yes - they're ugly as can be. You couldn't pay me to own one. The technology looks awesome though.

I am a car nerd and have a mental list of all the cars my coworkers drive. I usually let them finish with theit CT hate and then unload about their underpowered derivative rav4. when they look shocked i say, i thought we were sharing honest opinions?

I think it’s a combination of things but a big factor is definitely Elon. Another is that it started off as overly expensive when that’s not exactly what the electric market was really demanding. If you had a really chill guy like RJ from Rivian, trying to put out something like a cyber truck at an affordable price without all the drama then it probably would’ve been received a lot better

Life must be hard being so judgmental. You even own a Tesla! LMFAO 🤡

You are not getting a new full sized truck and a Model 3 for $60k. Either way that seems like a really stupid idea when you could get a capable truck and an EV in one package for $60k brand new. Why would you want twice the insurance, storage and maintenance by having 2 vehicles. The Lighting is a fine truck but the suspension is garbage. But right now they are more expensive than the CyberTruck. And the technology (Ford Sync, BlueCruise) are shit. Also the charging is doable with it being open to most Tesla SC’s but it’s a PITA. I love my CT and the fact that people trash on it make me love it even more. I love seeing people get triggered by it.

I personally dont like the look. However I test drove one while I was getting service and they are really nice on the inside and drive really nice as well. My wife wants one after test driving.

I was ready to put a deposit until it was unveiled. I bought a Lightning and love it. I need a truck, not some 7yo kid idea of what a truck is.

I bought a Tesla years back when I thought it'd work out for me. It was a nice car that made it more economical to drive around while providing so many nice small benefits. I do not hate Cybertruck, but I would never purchase one. I also do not like it and say "I'd get it if I wanted a truck." It is ugly to me, and it doesn't serve a specific purpose other that making people "oh, look at that thing." In my opinion, it's truck bed is too small to be a truck, too nice to actually do thr dirty work, it is a dangerous missile when it goes fast with all its weight, endangering other people. But if it works out for you, who am I to say anything?

If you were a truck guy, you also would not get a cyber truck. It's a SUV with brain damage.

I put it into the same category as other oversized vehicles, especially if there’s no point to it. If you routinely need the vehicle to do whatever you do, fine. But when it comes to parking lots and other tight spaces, huge vehicles like this are annoying. The fact that the cybertruck also looks stupid(IMO)makes it a bit more annoying.

I am 95% sure it is just hate for the sake of hate. Back when it was announced I wanted one. And found most people thought it was very cool. And some people thought it was odd. With very little hate in RL or on social media. Leading up to it's launch. Still the same overall sentiment. It was cool, maybe not a style they wanted. No real issues with it overall. Same as most cars. But obviously it was a very unique looking car. Cit to about 4 months after launch it is was just pure hate everywhere. Most people who were excited for me to get one. (I never did BTW.) Had all changed their tunes. I still want one, and will likely get one, but just like with the model 3. It will take 5+ years for it to not be garbage. And I am waiting for it to come down to the advertised price of $40k (Which I will then buy used for $28k.) This has been my plan since the day it was announced.

They stand out a lot because they are so different - thats a delicate position to be in, they elicit an emotional response…. With Elon, and what he has done and become Over the last 2 years, that has turned into a strong negative feeling

I think they are really ugly, but I respect the ambition of trying to build something truly unique. It does look like a kindergartner was asked to draw their version of a truck though.

The Cybertruck is cool. Different, unique, interesting. I don't know if I'd own one. I probably would. IMO though, Tesla missed the mark here. I believe a regular looking pickup truck would have appealed to the masses so much better and been a bigger seller. I feel like they designed it to be flamboyant and outrageous with the intention of it being a conversation piece so people talk about it like we are doing.

I love it. Tesla transformed what a car is and CT took it to another level. Finally instead of iterating horrible plastics and buttons from every other OEM, we get something truly different , interesting and cool.

objectively the design is a huge departure from normal. This is obviously going to be a divisive design. subjectively of course some people are going to like it.

Same here. The appearance is the only reason I won’t buy one as I would otherwise love to have an electric truck with Tesla’s tech. I think that the design ended up being a major miss on Tesla’s part as they failed to recognize just how much truck owners value the appearance of their trucks.

Most people like cars because of the way they look. CT is a big L in this department. Simple as that.

If it had been delivered to market when promised at the price promised, I would have got one. I have a detached house. In the 35 years I have owned a detached house, I have had pickup truck for all of but 7 of those years. I really do prefer owning a truck when I own a house because houses entail trips to Home Depot, etc. For example, I can buy full 4x8 sheets of plywood and rip them on my own, versus buying the precut 2x4 feet sheets. I retired before CT was delivered to market and now cannot justify the expense. Though the recent deal is (was?) tempting. Maybe if 2017 S I have was falling apart. My S is still better than 99 percent of the cars on the road, even if the range has dropped from 234 to 217 miles, and it will likely be worth it to replace the high capacity battery when it dies. I don’t care what others think about CTs

I wanted to like them. But they’re expensive, they essentially need a wrap and they also require an FSD subscription.

The appearance is why people hate them afaict. And yes

It's the price - very simple

I appreciate that someone made something completely different, buy ya, I'd lean toward rivian probably if I were going to do a truck. Aren't all trucks these days just SUVs with a small bed in back?

It’s ugly, purely made, and struggles to do anything truck related.

As a former Rivian owner, I will tell you you’d be greatly disappointed. Our Cyberbeast is better than our Rivian in every respect, unless a wooden dash (which was pretty) means more to you than overall experience.

I just think they are terrible vehicles. You get so little for the price you pay. Politics also plays a role in it for me, I'm not going to lie. When I see other teslas, my assumption is that person bought that car because they are good cars. Or that they are environmentally conscious. Or that they just like them. No judgement at all. But with cybertrucks- all of those were purchased after Musk got in bed with Trump so openly. It seems like they are owned mainly by rich people who are strong supporters of Trump- and they bought them so everyone knows those two things about them. I'm sure that's not always true. But I know it is for the two people I personally know who bought them. I'm 100% sure this perception is have effects my opinion of cybertrucks right or wrong.

I can’t stand cybertrucks. They look ugly, they’re huge, and they’re nothing more than Elon’s vanity project.

It’s easily one of the ugliest vehicles I’ve ever seen. It’s uglier than the Aztec and Cube. It looks like someone forgot to render it.

I hate how it looks. That’s all.

They look like crap and aren’t practical. There’s so much dead space on the dash and for as big as it is the bed isn’t super functional. I don’t like the rivian R1T look either but it’s very functional space wise as well as all the other Teslas.

I've had my truck for 2 years. There is hate for the truck itself. Because they think it represents Elon.

“Hate?”…No, but dislike? Yes🫡. I feel that Tesla missed out- big time, by steering away from their original design style (Roadster to Y). Many of the technical components Are great (steer by wire and capability to charge another Tesla, being a couple), but every time I see one driving by…I just smile with disdain😑

“Aside from their appearance” seems to be a pretty big argument against the cybertruck. I believe it fails on design, utility, and construction. The technology is great, but it would be an appealing truck if it looked different and were built differently… so yeah, huge pass on the cybertruck, it’s a failed platform.

They're emblematic of the decline of Tesla's public image I think. In my personal opinion, I'm happy someone tried something new design wise. But in practice, the cybertruck is very poorly built. You can't have pieces that are just glued on and that break off if you drive at highway speeds, for instance. Or an accelerator pedal that gets locked at full throttle and needs an actual physical recall. Like... Com'on man. One of my neighbors has one, and every time it drives by it just clanks so bad. It sounds like it's falling apart. I'd write it off as a bad apple, but I see a few on my way to work every day too, and you can see the massive misalignments on them. The one's bumper looks like it's falling off.

I have one, and I love it. Many people don't like the aesthetics--I do. It's weird, because there are many ugly cars out there, and I never, ever feel the need to post about it online. It doesn't concern me one single bit whether or not someone else thinks that the car they drive looks cool or not. I have a basic understanding of manners, so I don't tell people that I think their car looks like shit--it would literally never occur to me to do that. It goes 0-60 in under 4 seconds, and is a blast to drive. It carries my family of five comfortably, with fantastic entertainment options. It has ample range for 95+ percent of daily driving needs, and is a blast to road trip in, even with the added logistical issue of needing to coordinate charging. It makes road tripping fun. The self driving is well beyond anything else that anyone else is doing right now, and it does a fantastic job. I drive over 100 miles a day, and use it every day. Road tripping with it is awesome--there is no, "Is this my turn? Is this it?! OHH WE PASSED IT!" kind of stuff--you just go where you are supposed to go. I had not considered how nice that is until road tripping with it. It's quiet, inside and out. It heats up instantaneously. Defogs instantaneously. Has heated seats, heated steering wheel--it's really comfortable and pleasant to drive in and ride in. It has an absurd amount of storage, with a full sized, covered, and well-lit truck bed; under the rear seat; the frunk; and the additional cargo hold in the bed. It does, in my view, everything that you could possibly want a car to do, with the exception of "be a suburban/passenger van." The worst part about it is the stupid people who hate it. Like--you don't like it? No problem at all, to each their own (even though it's an incredible vehicle by virtually every metric). but...you don't like it to the extent that you are willing to flip off a complete stranger? Yell obscenities? To the extent that you are posting about it online about how much you hate an automobile? You're a fucking nut job. Also, the cost? There is a tri motor for $100k. The dual motor is $80k, which became 72k with credits. Stop saying, "Ohhh it's not worth $107k," because you are talking about all of the bells and whistles at that point. Interestingly, I have had a number of people say something like, "How'd you afford that?" and it's like...every single mercedes/Audi/Rivian/Cadillac that you see is more expensive than this thing is. It has a reputation for being super expensive...it's just not. And it's probably due to people saying, "OHHH IT'S $107K!" which isn't accurate.

I don't understand anyone spending $50k on an inferior product just to virtue signal their politics to others

People view the CT as a symbol of Elon Musk. And there are many people with really bad Elon Derangement Syndrome out there (side effect of TDS).

Without the social connotations attached to its launch, I'd probably think it's neat but impractically large for its market segment. But be actively stumping for a maverick sized version. Instead, I hate it because of what it represents. It's inherently a bit wonky, and the politics around its introduction also alienated its likely primary purchase base.

[removed]

People hate Cybertrucks because the people around them hate Cybertrucks but deep down inside they all fucking love Cybertrucks like the dirty Cybertruck loving sluts they are.

I would say that most of the people that hate on the cybertruck is because of the politics. If is “ugly” or not, is subjective. I consider myself a “liberal” and have always voted democrat, but that did not stop me from buying a cybertruck, as a matter of fact, our CT is our second Tesla. I understand politics is importan, but we shouldn’t let it run how we live our life. Is Elon a piece of shit? To me he is. He is also a hypocrite and an immoral person, but that is him. I don’t buy a vehicle as a sign of virtue. I like the CT, I like Tesla. To me they make the best EVs, because of the technology and support that they have, and when I feel that they are not the best around, then I’ll buy something different. At the end of the day, I don’t need to be justifying my purchases to no one.

As a person who walks and bikes (and owns a MY) the design seems specifically designed to harm people outside of vehicles and has horrible visibility. It is a cruel design.

Dude, don’t waste time on the haters. They just hate because they are jealous. Deep inside of them, they wish they had a CT.

I feel most people don’t think for themselves.

Oh, but I did exactly that. Big Star RAM in Houston for the RAM 1500 4x4 and Tesla in Sacramento for the CPO Model 3 LR two years old shipped to my local dealer.

You are just jealous you can’t afford one 🤭 dangerous? I guess if you hit by any other ICE truck it will caress your body 🤣

I hate that Elon decided to make a meme instead of a good product.

Don’t waste your time with people like that. People that complain about the CT are the same people that complain about EVs. They complain about EVs and have never had one. There is a reason most of the people that buy an EV, never go back to an ICE vehicle.

CT owner here. I hate Elon as much as everyone else, and I've only voted left. My parents are very liberal and also own a CT. We own Cybertrucks because they fit our use cases best. The utility of the vehicle is incredible, and the driving experience and FSD are out of this world. This isn't the thread to list everything I like about it. For us, we value the advancement in engineering and the progression towards the transition to EVs and renewable energy that Tesla has brought to our world. Sure Elon sucks, but the engineers behind Tesla are the people who are making the company successful. I value that over the opinion of a billionaire (Sorry for bad grammar or thoughts being all over the place. I'm just waking up and I'm pre-coffee 😆)

I’m sure it’s a great car… except it fucking ugly.

Ok Mr. Engineer 🤣 You can’t even make yourself a sandwich 🥪 and you talk about steer by wire like you know anything 🫣

….that was the best you got?

I get it. Like I said in the post- my perception is scewed by my bias. I'm not saying I am right. I'm just answering the OPs question.

I think they look incredibly terrible. Like must be a joke bad.

CT has been a hyped creation since its conception YEARS AGO! Trump didn’t do that🤣🤣🤣 Man who thought a given right to vote would lead to people not purchasing an amazing value car.

I always see people saying "in normal truck tasks" but then never elaborate on this. I use my CT for "Normal truck tasks" and it is incredible. Need to haul 2500 pounds of gravel in the bed? No problem. Need to haul lumber, no problem. Need to power 240v welder? No problem, plug into the bed outlet. Please clarify why it's terrible at normal truck stuff The only valid complaint I see is long distance towing, with emphasis on "Long Distance". Also, it does great off-road....

Wrong.

It failed on range and price, met or exceeded everything else?

They are the ugliest

The fact people think WhistlenDiesels video represents the real world is hilarious

All good! That's why I wanted to comment. It's good to show other perspectives

🤣🤣🤣

why would i be jealous of an objectively bad car? are you laughing at how bad the car is? and do you usually buy bad products? why? brand loyalty is for low IQ ppl.

If you've ever had to use a truck for actual 'truck' things the answer should be obvious.

Just the looks. My wife likes our Model Y and she says Cybertruck is “ugly”.

You also don’t see F-150s and Silverados in Europe. That’s a truck thing and not specific to Cybertrucks. I’m not sure I buy that it’s any more dangerous than any other big ass dumb car on the road. And people buy expensive unreliable cars all the time. Range Rover exists. Jaguar exists. Stellantis exists.

I don’t know, you tell me. What is a bad car? Do you go by what other people say, without you having firsthand experience of said thing? Wouldn’t your opinion on something that you personally have not experienced, make your opinion unworthy and irrelevant? What is bad product? Low IQ? What is low and what is high? Would you consider yourself to have high IQ? And if you do, would you please enlighten me on what products you buy, so that my IQ can increase?

I “hate it” (that’s a little strong for a thing) mostly because it’s so unaesthetic. It looks like it was designed by someone who could only draw straight lines and had not yet acquired 3D modeling skills. And a little bit more because of the emphasis on power output over efficiency though it is a truck I guess. I think they must have known it would be a bit polarizing but maybe it’s turned out to be a bit more of an eyesore to most people than they anticipated. People should buy what they like. But for me, I’d be fine never seeing one again.

Most people don't give two shits about their car making a statement. It's an EV truck and the best on the market, that is all that matters.

seek help for your EDS

They also all have severe Elon Derangement Syndrome

The 50k price when announced would be 63k in today's dollars, so current 60k awd trim actually beats on price.

Oh yeah, I remember having that kinda cringe moment when I first saw the Aztec when it came out.

The title of the post literally is asking for people's opinion on it you mongoloid

Me too. I think they look like a cubist painting come to life. Really any car that’s not the same boring blob of rounded plastic is refreshing.

I've always found it cool. The "hate" usually comes from:  * No great love for that Elon's politics - even before he gone full MAGA  * Hating the industrial design usually comes from the "car guys" * Hating the price (now one less reason to hate) Cybertruck is one of those weird products where it registers with the "normies" but when you overthink it, you start to hate it.... VERY similar to the first iPhone initially launched in 2007 IMO...

When I hear the Cybertruck hatred it always sounds to me like an 1920s small town Baptist church bitch seeing modern art or a flapper in short skirts for the first time and spewing hatred trying to get the world back in line.

For me, it's always been the price. Ordered one 3 days after the new lower price tier announcement.

Just curious and not a troll: would you consider yourself a "car guy"? I find most people that find it ugly come from the hardcore car enthusiasts. Normies just usually find it weird.  I am a designer myself. You can certainly argue on style vs substance or form vs function, but the design is clearly inspired by a very specific aesthetic that's not commonly done in the car industry, in fact, any industrial design at all. It's done on purpose. Just kinda interesting.

I'm pretty certain no one hates anything other than the look. I doubt anyone who hates it knows anything more that "it's ugly" and "it's a Tesla". Because really there's nothing to hate other than those 2 things. I wouldn't mind one, but I've never been a truck guy, especially for the price. I might pick up a used one when they get down below $15k, just because everyone hates them, and I feel like it's kind of like giving everyone the finger just by driving it 😂

I think many people genuinely dislike the look of it and feed off the misinformation from a couple viral videos like whistlin diesel absolutely abusing the truck offroad in unreasonable ways. Realistically 99.99% of owners never would do or have things happen like dropping them on concrete barriers and it doesn’t make sene to add extra reinforcements that jack the price and weight up for those non-issues. Anyone just reverting to calling it “garbage” or similar slurs is downright delusional and obviously has not tried one. Its also the first truck from a car company, show me another brand that had a near flawless first truck release and this one is completely redesigned from the ground up in ways unlike any other vehicle on the road. I love that Tesla is changing the game and trying something new. I think if the design was more mainstream it would have still sold like hot cakes and got less hate. There’s so much under appreciated tech in there like the octovalve for super efficient heating distribution and the steer by wire and rear wheel turning that makes it handle like a nimble sedan while also being faster than basically all supercars.

Sure. I could consider myself a car person. But I suppose taste is always subjective. I don’t dispute that the tech that Tesla has implemented in the CT is impressive, the software and the charging network are amazing. But, to me, when you look at the construction, basically glued together panels, the poor design of the wheel covers that dig into the tires, the sparse interior, the sloping windshield ie wasted space from the dash to the windshield. The terrible design of the single windshield wiper. I just don’t care for it. Again, for those that like it. Good for you, enjoy it. EVs can be pretty polarizing anyways. I love ours. I have owned a MY, Kia Niro, and a Bolt and now an F150 Lightning. I enjoy the driving and ownership experience, lots of people in my life do not. Cheers.

I love Elon’s antics more than I love the cybertruck.

For 60k?

I hate them because they look ridiculous and are like twice the price they were originally promoted at. Also, I just hate big trucks in general because where I live the drivers of them are all insecure morons

I dislike the way they look, and they make me mad because of that decision. I want tesla to succeed and for more people to go electric, if they had made it look more mainstream even in their existing design language, I think it would have sold 10 fold.

I hate it because of how it was marketed by Elon. It was purposely made to be different to such an extreme that I can’t stop thinking it’s the most douchiest looking thing. It was made to satisfy Elon’s ego, not what people were looking for in a truck; utility, usability, cost. The truck market is the largest segment in the U.S., most people who buy trucks don’t do it for attention. We all know Cyber truck buyers are pavement princesses. They aren’t buying them to off-road, or work at the construction site. They’re too big and expensive for practical usage.

Yup.

I’m old enough to remember when the HumVee was released and everyone hated it. Now it’s a status symbol to drive one as a “mall crawler”.

I mean painted or wrapped doesn’t matter the original stainless steal look is buns.

The basic SS/Greyish color is Fugly! I find I like it a lot better when I see one wrapped or in a nice color. Having said that, I hear they are phenomenal to drive, so maybe I will try one some day....

I don't like them because I personally think that they look terrible.

I think it looks good when wrapped. As a truck, it seems like a terrible truck. But most people do not use trucks for truck things. I do, so it would not be on my list.  I would prefer a truck with a more similar design to their other vehicles. That is, no edges.

Hate Elon - Cybertruck is symbolic of Elon's arrogance - therefore hate Cybertruck. Mind you they had a negative pushback since inception but once he got involved in politics/Fascism etc - they became negatively iconic. I feel the same way about them as I do the original Volkswagen "Thing". You do you.

Regardless of Musk, I think it is the ugliest vehicle ever made. Even worse than the Pontiac Aztek.

I think they are ugly but I wouldn’t go so far as saying I hate them. I just don’t see the point of electric vehicles especially in the USA if our grid is stressed to the limit in most urban areas. People still fight against nuclear energy when it’s really the cleanest and most efficient energy we have.

Those trucks haul and tow less and ride/handle like shit in comparison.

Doesn’t tow but worries about range. Relies on YouTube for durability concerns. Jesus Christ dude, try some critical thinking.

Both used? Or very low trim.

I'd totally buy one at $40-50k. I actually need them to make a smaller truck though. I think it's too big for my garage.

I guess I like ugly vehicles because the cybertruck, Aztec, and cube are all appealing vehicles to me.

How is real world towing on cybertruck. Any owners here? 20 ft boat what sort of range do you get. That's my biggest hold up from switching from current pick up

I've driven one for several days and loved it.

Um you can't reasonably compare a M3 to a CT its apples to oranges.

I think it'll be considered a classic in 30-40 years.

They're just ugly and very "look at me"

I actually hated the way they looked at first. Then, it started to grow on me. Seeing them wrapped totally made them look different and really appealed to me. I test drove one and was blown away by the handling. I’m a sports car and SUV guy but seriously considering the Cybertruck. I would get a CyberSUV if they had one.

True!

I didn’t like them for their appearance, but having one for a week as a loaner (almost) convinced me to trade in my MX for one.  But they’re a bit tough to park.

It’s a car that has its own identity. And it’s a statement piece. And people dislike that. It’s a Jake Paul crypto bro mobile and to some people, understandably, it’s ugly. And it came out after the CEO came out to be full “Dark MAG.” Why are you so easily confused?

The styling is polarizing although I personally like it. Yes there are people who hate it because of Elon but they’re the puppet types that do as the media tells them to

My buddy has a Cyberbeast. I personally don't care for the design of the truck or stainless steal. He wrapped it though and it looks a lot better. I'm also not a truck guy. I will say it was a very impressive vehicle overall. Nice interior, big screen, comfortable seats. Truck bed was actually usable. Roll up cover was neat. So short answer. I still hate the lines of the roof. But softened overall. It's a nice truck.

I want one so bad...

The design is very polarizing. That said, you really need to drive one before passing judgement. Then there is the price…you are paying for the technology, not necessarily the capability (e.g., towing, cargo capacity). And as far as Elon goes…people need to just get over it and move on already. Personally, I like the Cybertruck, but I don’t need one (we have a Ram 2500 HD that is paid for and can haul or tow whatever we need).

Probably cant afford it

I hate its look. It's like a "truck from late 1990's video games with low polygon count" or "a shiny trash bin." It has a feeling that it was designed just for the sake of being edgy. I would never buy a car I wouldn't enjoy looking at from the outside. Plus, I'd hate to give Elon another rusty cent if I can avoid it, from an ideological perspective.

Hate is a strong word. I strongly dislike the look of the Cybertruck, and question its real usefulness as a daily truck. I bought a Model S and kept my Silverado to be a truck.

They don't like them for the same reason they don't like Nickelback. Its cool to say that you hate them.

To me, they look like the perfect vehicle for business advertising. Kind of like a rolling billboard.

I like them too but people clown on them too much if probably never get one. I love my model 3

I think it's gross. The look is not appealing to me and after owning a Tesla M3LR for 2 years I wouldn't buy another Tesla. I like a lot of the technological advances but the software interface drives me bonkers. There's a level of control I desire as a driver and Tesla does not offer that to me.

I'm on my second Tesla. The cybertruck is fugly. And Elon is a pos. I'm conflicted everytime I get in the car.

Some People hate pugs. Some People hate pineapple pizza. Some People are on the Epstine list.

I don't like it - but it's just my opinion. The price was absurd, and the design looked like a 7 year old's version of what a car of the future would look like. It's not a good functional truck. And it didn't help that Elon's big push was "hey, the glass is bulletproof", and yet the body is full of plastic panels. I really wanted to like it - I was glad someone did something really different with a truck design, but when I saw it in person, it was a total fail for me.

I was looking at the Silverado, but the software has given me pause.

Have you seen one? 😬

Trucks are a niche market. A CyberSUV would crush it imo. https://preview.redd.it/3rikiprxq3mg1.jpeg?width=1599&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa9ae788afc72df801e7ec79ec1dc54cd85cc6df

I think they're neat looking tbh

It’s the type of antics. I think Musk projects, to many, as a thin skinned boy obsessed with masculinity. A military-style truck that draws inspiration from science fiction feels a little too close to Musk’s psyche.

CyberTruck hate is overblown … it’s more Elon hate than anything else.

What’s the difference between manufactured hate and artisanal hate? The thing provokes what it provokes…just like Lamborghini.

Definitely not uglier than the Aztec. That was a rough looking vehicle. I did like the Cube but I wouldn’t say the CT is uglier or even nicer than the Cube since it’s such a different vehicle.

Doesn’t do truck things very well. More Honda ridgeline, than Toyota tundra. Some of the design choices don’t make sense in a truck. And IMO ugly as sin. But in the end, don‘t hate, just not for me or most people that want a “truck”.

Coming from the same age group as Elon, I can see him trying to recapture some of the mystique of the Delorean’s of the 80’s and bringing it to Tesla. You see it with the gull wing doors of the X that mirror those of the old 80’s sports car. The stainless steel body of the CyberTruck was just the next iteration of his homage to the car that a lot of us when we were younger wished we could have, wished never went out of production and wished we could travel back in time with. Since he wanted to stick with the stainless steel and make the truck somewhat affordable to produce, I would assume design choices were limited, hence why we have more straight lines and sharp angles on this truck than any other vehicle on the road. (No facts; just opinions)

Yes it kind of sucks. Anyone used to Tesla will be frustrated, but anyone used to GM will not be surprised.

For $100k+ nah. 60/70k ..maybe

Any actual truck

Those are always pie in the sky targets. Focus on actually product rather than somehow being disrespected

It looks awesome.

Thing that's good-->But it's not more good . Therefore buy the less good thing.

You know it's designed that way for a reason. The exterior is structural. The whole design of the truck is based around having the exterior be a structurally strong as possible in order to save weight elsewhere. It's that shape because that's the strongest structure.

I like teslas but hate cybertrucks. They looks awful

I hate it only because I love Teslas and Tesla made a product that i didn't fall in love with. It's just fugly and it crushed my hopes when it was revealed. I would have paid premium to get one had it not been so fcuking ugly. Sigh.

Most people don't tow. they use the truck box for the daily activities of life that require a truckbox once every few months

That's totally cool as well. I'm all for differences of opinion on the looks. I would say it is not visually appealing to a majority of people, but I definitely don't fault anyone for liking it. It's not for me or a lot of other people, but I'm all for people liking things if they like it. No shame in that.

I hated Tesla bc of Elon. Then I test drove a MY- of course I bought it. Today we test drove a 3 for huz and said we’re coming back to test drive the CyberTruck next and I’m serious about it lol

I think they look like dumpsters on wheels. They look nothing like a truck. I see them all the time and wonder what Elon was thinking. Rivian/Ford Lightning both look awesome. Tesla fumbled that one.

Ford and Rivian would have something to say about that.

Huh

I find hate is such a silly word in general. I’m not crazy about the looks of the thing. I love Tesla though and I respect that some people like the Cybertruck. It’s irrelevant anyway for me as a Canuck because there’s no way I could have ever afforded it even if I do adore it. Personally I’m just on the edge of my seat waiting to take delivery of my MYP.

I'm not a fan

It's not just about design professionals. It's mostly because they can't form the cold rolled stainless steel like all other in normal cars and they wanted exoskeleton

It's ugly af. I can't stand seeing them

Cybertruck is the Swiss Army knife of trucks. It’s good in all categories but masterful in none (except self driving). I’ve owned almost all the high end versions of all the truck you listed (and currently own 2 Cybertrucks) and I can tell you from experience the Cybertruck is hands down the best overall truck on the market today. The only potential competitor to Tesla is Rivian and only if they can fix their software issue and are able to bring their version of self driving to fruition.

"Is grass green" ahh question 😭

It's a shitty "truck" and ugly to boot.

Because something that's awesome is not objectively as awesome as you think it should be therefore you are suggesting people to, implied by the way you're speaking about it, not buy it and buy something objectively worse instead

That still made absolutely zero sense. That was pure word vomit.

As was your comment. But it was worse it was virtue signaling idea of vomit wrapped up in elitist engineering speak which is impossible to verify. So I responded in kind with what you deserved

Sky is blue 😄😂

I owed one for 27,000 miles and the lack of a pass thru for camping was my biggest disappointment in tandem with how much dust entered the vault from my dirt road. I sold it back to Tesla but would consider another after a revision to misses like these.

I don't have PowerShare but I did lose power for a couple days a year ago and my Cybertruck kept my fridge and all necessary household appliances/TVs/internet/fans running for a couple days and barely put a dent in the battery. Just ran a couple extension cords from the bed outlets into my house.

Because they saw a carefully curated video of a CT getting stuck in an inch of mud and that's all they needed to see to confirm their biases. Our roads were iced over for weeks in VA and my CT handled those roads like driving on asphalt. If I had to go over a big snow bank I just lifted suspension to high and got over it just fine. But yeah it's so bad at "truck stuff" because it looks unconventional and EV = the devil

The outside looks half baked. If they gave it more of a Cybercab design language with an actual paint job and molded panels, it might look better.

Is the F150 Lightning still in production?

i love that it’s different- but also think it’s pretty ugly. and I hope whoever buys one loves it! life is too short to have unreasonable emotions about vehicles. Similar silliness in the motorcycle world- I love them all whether street bike or v-twin!

I don’t see anything wrong with it, except everything I see. When they first revealed it I thought it was a joke. All the other models were sexy and it looks like a 3-year-old drew it.

I like them. If I can get a used one in a few year for 30k I will.

The new lower price 59K cyber trucks are selling like crazy. A lot of of this had to do with cost the outside might be polarizing, but if you wrap it, you can make it look good The inside is amazing and it feels like a living room and there’s so much room and comfort. There’s nothing to hate about it except that outside look might not be for everybody.

Only on Reddit or in safe spaces

its ugly

It has nothing to do with design. They had a requirement to use whatever steal it is and that limited what the design could be.

You already know the answer. Elon Musk used to be the hero of Reddit. “Real life Tony Stark”. Tesla was “the” future. Then he came out as conservative, and all of a sudden he’s an idiot and his cars are ugly and suck. It’s without a doubt some of the most forced hate you’ll see on the internet.

I agree it's ugly. Not practical as a truck. Not any more practical than a regular SUV. Great tech though. I love it.

It looks awesome have you compared it to every other vehicle? It looks nothing like every other vehicle If you think it looks bad then you really all you want is to look exactly the same as everyone else

It's designed that way because this stainless steel is load bearing for the car which saves weight and the shape of the cybertruck is essential for that structure to actually work. there is no other shape that would work with that design principle in mind

No, the title asks about “people” as in generally, not your specific opinion, you cocker spaniel.

It’s not the cyber truck we hate, it’s the people who drive them.

It looks nothing like every other vehicle because 99% of people don't want a car that looks that fucking goofy. Just because you like it doesn't mean it looks good. It means you like a car that looks stupid. And that's fine. If you like, like it. I don't really care. But that doesn't change the objective fact that the car looks stupid to the vast majority of people.

how do you deal with the bias / attention around them? is it much of a thing in IRL? I actually like the design and kind of want one, but am wondering as someone who is in a similar situation as you are. I generally don’t like attention on me, much less negative attention

It depends where you live. I live in the PNW and have had plenty of "hate" towards the truck, but I've also had far more positive and curious attention than I've received hate. I would also say, like everything, time fixes everything. Reddit is cruel towards it, but most people in the real world have moved on and don't care anymore.

Bingo. I find it more surprising that people are surprised that a 2020s era Pontiac Aztec gets a bunch of negative public opinion. But dont get me wrong, vehicles have passionate buyers across the spectrum - thats fine. But this one is just not for me.

I don’t hate it. I think it’s stupid like the Model X doors. The Model X should’ve been a conventional large SUV with normal doors. The Cybertruck should’ve been a conventional work truck targeting $35k-40k.

Uglier than the infamous Aztek i.e. Walter White's SUV? No. Not practical looking but still better than that thing from the modern power load features way better than what GM could have wished for back them. It is a modern meme with useful features.

There's a couple of things, first a lot of people don't like trucks and second they don't like the boxy steel shape. To each his own.

It looks like a car that a 7 year old would draw and think it looks cool

I don’t like how it looks. I don’t like how expensive it is. I hate the range. I don’t like that it’s mot as sturdy as they originally advertised. Otherwise, cool concept.

It’s selling out so people must like it.

Its a great base vehicle for companies to customize it, and the platform is good, people just hate it because of its looks, and the interior is too minimalist for such a truck

Every EV with standard-complaint CCS is capable of bidirectional charging. All Ford, Hyundai, Kia, VW, etc., etc. all you need is the correct bidirectional charger and to rewire your electric panel for islanding. I have read that other Tesla models that are CCS-compliant (some older ones are not) can also be connected to standard bidirectional chargers and work as rolling batteries.

I used to not like them but i did realize i was influenced because everyone around me hated them SO much.. so i took a step back and now I think they are kind of cute. They look like a little toy blown up to regular size proportions!

I liked it until I saw it in person.

Too expensive which makes me jealous and therefore they are ugly

I like it but the insurance on teslas compared to other vehicles makes it hard to buy, for me.

it is mostly never about the car. it is about the designer. some design choices made definitely did not help either.

I see beauty in the fact that it's coefficient of drag is that of a Prius, for a big truck that's impressive. But most see Musk when they look at it.

Nice try Elon….

News flash - no one cares about your opinion outside of the people that live inside your house. And even that is up for debate.

I still say it looks like kindergartner was asked to draw a truck

Is the cyber truck still in production? How many have they sold in 2026?

I hate heavy, powerful cars that people don't need because they're dangerous. On top of the hate I jave for tesla for enabling bad drivers in the first place and I hope every cybertruck is scrapped

It’s a tool. Number one it is a great functional vehicle. Number 2 it doubles a a whole house or in the field generator. I love it, even though it looks like it just drove out of Minecraft

Goofy is defined socially as not being brave enough to be different than your friends

Actually goofy is defined as being ridiculous or mildly ludicrous. Like I said, you are free to like it.

I own a cyberbeast and it has done 2.40mi/kwh according to my driving stats over the 28k miles I've had it. I pay 4c/kwh due to the solar on my house. So I'm at: $0.04 / 2.4 mi/kwh = $0.016 a mile My 300mile range costs me $4.80 I get a supercar eating truck that rips a 0-60 in 2.6s and a quarter mile in 11s and I get to fuel it for far less than a Prius. I'm a car guy who loves Ferraris Lamborghinis and Corvettes but this is faster on the street than nearly all of those. And everyone I've blown away on the street is just stupified that they got their ass handed to them by a 6800lb pickup truck. My 2 gas cars sit around unused and I should probably sell them. My V8 4Runner and my Evo X just feel like dinosaurs. Laggy throttle, jerky transmission and just slow. Also these days I barely drive it. FSD has driven 98% of the time according to my driving stats. I just sit back and relax and enjoy the view outside. As a car guy I never expected that I'd want something like that, but you get home from your commute without feeling drained. My big complaint about most Teslas is that steering feel sucks, and I was fully expecting this one to be the same, but they gave this steer by wire great feedback. I have no clue how they pulled it off. I also hate going back to a normal car and having to turn the damn wheel so much for a U turn. I'm converted. It powered my entire house through a 22 hour power outage while my neighbors fridge food had to be thrown out. It has the battery capacity of 9 powerwalls and had enough power for another few days of outage. I've been offroading in it, it's traction management system is far better than my lifted 4Runner on race coilovers and it has more ground clearance (17 inches) I also never realized how nice it is having a windowless secured tonneau with 65cu ft of storage on road trips. No worrying about someone breaking in and stealing your luggage. Luckily I'm a function over form type of person (obviously based on my other cars) so this was really up my alley, but I don't hate the looks. I have a pretty high budget for cars, yet there's no other car in the world I want.

I have nothing against them but the look/design is a hot mess. It's about the most ugly vehicle I see on the road these days.

cybertrucks are just ugly and obnoxious

The recent price drop and immediate uptick in sales selling out proves it's cost nothing more. They are goofy but if they were cheaper they would sell more. The initial cybertruck launch discussed a rear wheel single motor variant for $40k. The equivalent would be around $52k ish now with inflation. The fact a dual motor version at $59k sold like hot cakes proves it.

Who knows, with the batteries catching on fire and dealerships selling them with an additional 50% markup from MSRP

It’s a crap truck compared to other electric trucks. The F150 Lightning is more capable, more reliable, and costs less.

I would like to get one but I just don’t want the attention they draw and I don’t want some stupid weirdo flicking me off for no reason when I got my kids with me.

Hi. Yes, I now hate the cyber truck, but loved it at announcement. It’s not because of anyone else, it’s because it was supposed to be a stainless steel folded truck but instead is a Honda ridgeline. And a few other false promises and I’m out. Don’t even care about the politics, just the car itself.

People hate things that are different, and it is objectively ugly, they could have made something much better and I think that's one reason people dislike it so much. Being a tesla and linked to Elon Musk does not help it either, someone's going to hate it no matter way.

The Aztec looks like two cars squished and stacked on top of each other. As for the Cube, I used to dislike it until I sat in one. That thing is a pure illusion trick. The outside looks small and the inside is super spacious. That car gives you headroom galore. When you're tall, modern half ton trucks and the Nissan Cube are the only ones you can comfortably sit in.

It's mostly the price and the hate for Elon. And being teased/baited with the pre-order price of $40k only for it to jump 3X more when it hit market. At the original MSRP, it was a realistic truck that a wide range of people could afford. People who need a truck for work, etc. At the release price, it instantly turned it from a practical work truck to a flex that only the 1% could enjoy. I think that's why people shit on it. It's like seeing G Wagons and Range Rovers, some of the best off-road vehicles ever made being lowered, with big rims and slick tires never even seeing a gravel road.

Yeah. They ugly AF and impractical.

the way it is made makes it VERY dangerous for other cars and people. it's not just about being a big car. "I’m not sure" - for example the EU's regulations prevent cars like this to be registered since they completely forgo many safety regulations: from the rigid frame, sharp panel angles, bad visibility angles, and glued on panels... it's basically a death machine in an accident. the US regulations are far behind EU (and even most of the world) in terms of safety.

I actually hate it. I actually hate big trucks in general and the cybertruck is an ugly duck. It makes me appreciate how difficult it is to make a car that looks good all the way around. The CT is OK from some angles, but about 2/3 of the time it just looks awful. For the raw stainless ones I see, it seems like the doors/panels never match right. And a significant number of panels never sit flat and are wavy. All in all it is a concept that doesn't work. What's even funnier to me is that I've gone back and looked at the Delorean and realized how ugly it is as well. When the doors are down and it isn't modified like Back to the Future, it is a dated and pretty stupid design.

It's pretty ugly.

I drove every electric truck and a hybrid before buying the CT because I wanted to avoid the hate for it. I waited a year for them to work the kinks out. It was cheaper than anything else that had close to the features (I have the AWD (now called premium AWD) not the Beast). Objectively best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Absolute game changer let me take two cars down to one which also saved decent money. Only problems i see 15k miles into ownership is from people who based on their comments really know very little about what it is and isn’t (mostly driven by media and influencer content) and what it can and can’t do.

Have you ever met another human being?

Nah, silverado ev is better. The only thing it lacks is a true camping mode.

The exterior design is polarizing, appears to have been assembled in HS shop class. The driving experience is otherworldly. I have driven nothing else that even compares.

It is probably the ugliest looking vehicle ever.

They're kind of ugly but a perfectly fine electric vehicle.

It is a taped and glued together pile of bad design decisions. It doesn't help that Musk made it the white nationalist flagship.

Kids love them. They aren’t influenced as rapidly as terminally online adults. I don’t know where the hate exactly originates from. It might just be some anti Elon phenomena. It seems to run rampant among the same people. I just thought they looked ridiculously hilarious. But now I am tempted to get one eventually.

Nothing wrong with being white or proud of your country. Same if you were brown, black, yellow, or from whatever country you were born or reside. Your low iq name calling doesn’t work in 2026 Can also guarantee you’ve never owned one (or the funds to be able to)

🤣

I don’t get the hate for the look. Seems like an excellent marketing strategy to me. Stand out, be noticeable, make the uninformed ask “what’s that?”. Great for a company with no other truck presence and free advertising.

It looks like a blind child that takes the short bus designed it, but you do you

Just what exactly is this "specific aesthetic" you're talking about?
