While this is great for a variety of reasons... I'm lamenting on the cybrtrck. Initially after the release I was kinda excited. Lately I have been wishing it just looked like a regular truck and did things that regular trucks can do - especially since I'm big on RVs: Cab over (fuck out of luck there). Fifth wheel? (Bed is probably not standard and probably no one will have the knowledge of putting in the rails or a puck system.

In other words we're looking at best travel trailers. I'm also sceptical they're going to the enough standard tow package equipment. I just have this feeling that no one that works at Tesla owns trucks and tows things. (And when I say no one, I just feel like if 10% of the staff owns a dually that's not enough).

If they don't put up a standard compete like Rivian, they're going to lose HUGE in this category.

One last secondary gripe here - they keep saying it has more utility than a regular truck but here I am pointing out all the things it can't do that a typical truck can. Beyond that, can you even ATTACH a snow plow?




thats not how you ship a v1

what is it about cars that make all software engineers turn into junior product managers.


It would seem that all the other EV pickup startups in this space are thinking about what regular trucks do first.
