I saw my first one in person just this past Saturday. It was matte black though, never saw one that wasn’t metal gray. The balls on anyone driving those things with how mocked they are😂
It's a dumb looking design but has some clever innovations in it. Using 48V for power instead of 12V for instance, reduces cable thickness because the current is reduced to ¼ of a 12V system. That reduces the amount of copper required in harnesses.
Someone commented that the design looks like PS1 graphics and, you know what? If that has been the design intention without all of the edge lord apocalypse survival bullshit, that'd be awesome! Instead it's... stupid.
Sadly that turned out to be an AI image, right? Kind of bummed me out because that would have been the ideal spot to park if you're going to burn it down...
what? that'd be a terrible place, with all that water. that would literally be among the worst places possible to burn something. especially if it's not even high tide yet.
Like, I know water doesn't extinguish all kinds of fires, but it *absolutely* would hinder its spread to other components. Best option would probably be a freshly-soaked and otherwise-empty parking lot. (hit enter too soon)
You can have whatever opinion you have, and i respect your right to it. It's a shit looking dumbshit, tho. It's the dumbest looking vehicle of ever. Also, the pedigree. If you like the look i would urge you to create a company that makes a better car (it's not a truck) with the same look.
I stared so hard at the first one I saw because it was so improbable looking, and not in a good way! I’m sure the owner thought I was admiring it but I just couldn’t believe anyone would WANT to drive that. Ever since then I point and laugh, though.

I found one in the wild, in tree dominated Wisconsin, in the middle of a rainstorm......really weird headlight
Thelrishlnquistion
Somebody left a dumpster in the car park, that’s very inconsiderate
Daakal
Prior to moving id seen one ever in the wild. Now in Long Island I see 2-3 a day it's crazy

The nicest thing about it imo are the tires. The thing looks that awful im immediately drawn to the tires.

I've seen so many now. They are pretty ugly
zeacorzeppelin10
It's already rusting
TacosAreDelicious
I saw a trailer delivery a few days ago
LitterBoxKing
I saw one and couldn't believe how big it was. I've seen box trucks with better styling.
TheBlueMuppet
There's a black one in my city, and I do have to say that the design is ugly, but black looks much better.
svga
yeah show him how lame it is by advertising his product and boosting impressions! STICK IT TO THE MAN
bound4doom
In case you haven't noticed the front page is plastered with photos of Trump constantly. Not necessarily advertising.
svga
it is exactly advertising

It's probably broken down

I've yet to see one in the wild. I have to rely on pictures to see one.
UsernameMayBeSubjectToChange
I have no desire to see one

I've seen a few where I live. They're goofy as hell.

I think they look dope ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meanwhile my 2016 f150 with a full aluminum body out here still looking brand new
putcleverusernamehere
Took the picture from my 2011 F250 - same

Unless you need those for work, both are just as cringey.

That's an invasive species. Kill it before it spreads further.

ive yet to see one in the wild... but i seen plenty of parking lots full of the ugly things..

Test the windows out they promised a patch so give it a trial run

That's a Dumpster. Another case of mistaken identity.
RandomSeries
Relevant to my town lol
Bunhyung
Naww, a Dumpster has a useful lifespan of 10-12 years. Cybertruck, not so much.
OutlawGerman
Yeah dude. Even the raccoons know to look for food in there. @op
zeacorzeppelin10
They seek to claim their birthright.

I never grasped how bulky these things are until I saw one. Just... like a frame/chassis test model escaped the lab.

makes me think of og lara croft graphics
n0n53n53
smaller than an F150, but the angles make it look bigger
photog
The f150 is 2" taller, but the other specs are basically the same
Hyndisfox
Photos don't do it justice. No matter how ugly it looks in photos, its 10x uglier in real life. Its absolutely hideous.
GenshiV
In the rain?! Well that's not long for this world...

let's get a post rain pic / report to see if it's rusty and or capable or starting.

It was already pre-rusted

The battery may burn hot enough to melt the asphalt, if that's something you care about in this scenario

I know we hate on them here, but am I allowed to think it looks cool? lol

TsubakiTragic
Sure you can. I have no objection to differences of opinion.
kyro
Yes. I personally don't hate the look. I hate the broken promises, bad engineering, and the con man running the company.
Vamp13
They're really cool, kinda wish they stick to original pricing though, I'd buy one at 50k.
gablestout
Yes :)
rshini
trust me, they look stupid in person

Oh look. An incElcamino!

I prefer Wank Panzer, but incElcamino works too.

Oh I was thinking inconel

Too niche
Musicosity
This took me a minute to understand. I read it with a hard c initially.
Freemage69
Should actually have a space between the two words. After all, it's El Camino, not elcamino. That said, the pun is magnificent.
RevRagnarok
Wankerpanzer. And you are supposed to point and make exaggerated head-back laughing motions. It's the "punch buggy" of the 2020s!

Oh yeah, try your best to make eye contact.
