Tesla's new Cybertruck is an all-electric pickup that looks like it's from an '80s sci-fi movie and whose unbreakable window broke immediately during a demonstration.
Remember when Tesla seemed like a cool company with a good cause, and its founder Elon Musk felt like the rare billionaire who wanted to improve the world through something more than just charity? Wait, did that time ever exist? Am I misremembering things, or were some of us just horribly naive back then?
Last night Musk revealed the next vehicle in the Tesla line. It’s a silver pickup truck that looks like it was pulled right out of some late ‘90s low poly count racing game, and its name is seriously the Cybertruck. It’s bulletproof, dent-resistant, and has unbreakable windows and windshields, and to prove it a Tesla employer threw a metal ball at a window that immediately broke.
If you opened up this article expecting some kind of actual information about the Cybertruck, well, let’s get to it. The stainless steel six-seater is all-electric, of course, and production is expected to start by the end of 2021. It’ll have three basic models: single-motor with rear-wheel drive, dual-motor all-wheel drive, and a tri-motor all-wheel drive model.
Again, the idea of an all-electric truck isn’t bad. Tesla’s not the only manufacturer working on one—even Ford is cooking up an F-150 that runs without gasoline. The reason people are having a go at the Cybertruck today isn’t just because the window broke when they were demonstrating how unbreakable it is, though. It’s because of how fundamentally ridiculous almost every other aspect of the truck is, from its name to its design.
, especially when you factor in its supposed bullet-proof and unbreakable nature. Setting aside the question ofsomebody in the market for an all-electric truck would need it to be an impregnable mobile fortress—
