I saw my first Tesla Cyber Truck yesterday. They're even uglier in real life.

[Miles Archer]

Driving along, there it was, making a right turn onto the main drag. It looked clumsy and idiotic. It looked like a geometric tin can collage. I guess owning one makes some kind of vague "political" statement.

[riversedge]

1. I saw my first cybertruck about a month ago--and It was ugly IMHO!!

[PatSeg]

38. Makes you wonder what kind of person

would actually buy one of those.

[Haggard Celine]

2. Saw one the other day when I was riding around with my parents.

We were trying to figure out how the driver was able to sed behind him. I guess they use cameras, because it didn't look like there was any visibility. It's a repulsive vehicle.

[niyad]

21. You mentioned a very important point that I had not even considered.

[paleotn]

3. It looks like some weird monstrosity some 12 year old boy dreamed up in his bedroom one night.

That's probably not too far off for its origin.

[LR3]

12. Yes, the designer's mental and emotional

development ended at age 12

[Ocelot II]

4. I've seen four or five of them this fall, though none recently. They're startlingly ugly.

Maybe the reason I haven't seen any lately is because they can't handle snow. Or maybe their owners have finally become embarrassed.

[allegorical oracle]

5. Some guy in my area drives one around. Looks like a dumpster on wheels. That's

why I've heard that our area raccoons like them so much.

[yorkster]

10. Dumpster on wheels is exactly what came to

mind when I first saw one. That and plug ugly.
It also brought to mind the Zumwalt class destroyer and its strange look. They stopped at three, I believe...

[waterwatcher123]

6. Dumpster on Wheels (even confuses raccoons).

Tesla has to sell these monstrosities to themselves (Space X) to prop up their dismal sales.

[Diamond_Dog]

7. I see one every couple months or so

They’re sort of startling, like a weird spaceship. Just saw one the day before yesterday.

Went to a restaurant over the Christmas holiday and saw one decorated with strings of Christmas tree lights.

[Conjuay]

23. they are fairly common in CFL. (why I don't know)

But to my mind they appear to be bloated- especially when viewed from the front.

But there are few things to laugh at in today’s world, so I never miss an opportunity to point at them and laugh

[sop]

8. I have to laugh every time I see one.

Apart from the many reported design, mechanical, quality control, usability, insurance and reliability issues, the things are just butt ugly. The stainless steel body panels appear wavy and uneven, the finish always looks like it needs a good scrubbing. It's totally useless as a truck; the bed is tiny and I've never seen anyone actually hauling or towing anything with them. And Youtube is full of videos showing CTs getting stuck in off-road situations a Subaru could handle with no problem. Can't understand why anyone would pay $100K for one.

[Diamond_Dog]

37. I guess some people have money to burn!

Surely not me!

[The Madcap]

9. We have one that I see near our neighborhood.

Build quality looks very poor.

Looks like a great graffiti target, though.

[niyad]

19. Raccoons think they are dumpsters.

[Norrrm]

11. Insuring your Cybertruck/Tesla.

Insuring your Cybertruck/Tesla...
Is that quote for six months or a year?...
No. That's per month...

[niyad]

20. Well, raccoons think they are dumpsters.

[multigraincracker]

13. Soon to be a rare classic, or not so classic.

Be like seeing an Edsel on the street now. Not ugly, not pretty, just rare.

[C_U_L8R]

14. You should see the drivers

Derpy derp derp.

[mcar]

15. They are so ugly. nt

[niyad]

17. And dangerous.

[mcar]

30. The windows are so dark and oddly angled,

they do seem dangerous (along with the random explosions).

[niyad]

16. We have three going through my neighborhood on a regular basis.

I am very friendly, and wave to them as they go by, single digit.

[Tribetime]

18. First time I saw one a few years ago I thought it was a storm chaser for a tornado

[Ping Tung]

22. They look like they were designed by a 10 year old who likes to play with a ruler and a Sharpie.

Remarkably ugly.

[NJCher]

26. Or...

An adult who is trying to be seen as a creative visionary and who….isn’t.

[niyad]

24. I remember the first time I saw them. I was standing on a corner,

waiting for the light to change... A young man (about late 20's) was standing next to me. As the car hauler went past, with three of those things, the young man exclaimed, "My god, those things are ugly!"

[Jedi Guy]

25. They're ugly as a hatful of busted assholes.

Having ridden in one, their only saving grace is the neat bells and whistles, which other Tesla vehicles probably have. The full 360° 3D image of the vehicle's surroundings is particularly cool, in my opinion.

Even so, I'd never drop the kind of money it takes to buy one, especially since up here in Canada there have been reports of the body panels falling off because the adhesive can't stand up to the cold in winter.

Ah well, we can always reminisce about how Musk bragged about the "reinforced" windows during the reveal and then broke one with a thrown rock.

[Dave Bowman]

27. They're garbage.

[JHB]

28. Yeah, they're clearly from someone who saw Syd Mead concept art from the 60s and 70s but...

...did not "get" the aesthetic at all, and made a clumsy, childish attempt at copying.





It's the car design equivalent of an art restoration disaster.

[allegorical oracle]

36. FYI, just read last week that the woman who did that painting had just died. The article

said that all the publicity (and laughs) made it one of the largest tourist attractions.

[Polly Hennessey]

29. I saw my first one a few days ago. Impossibly ugly.

The trash bin comparison is perfect.

[Attilatheblond]

31. Have seen 2 of them here in borderlands town

One is bare metal silver like they forgot to paint it.The other was completely painted with a local company logo & listing all the products they offer. Sure, that will get people's attention on the road, but seems a bad idea to advertise just how stupid you are if you wanna stay in business. It's not like work equipment could be packed in or on that insane excuse for a pick-up truck.

Have seen both of those abominations several times now; can't decide which one is uglier. The way people drive around here, blowing thru red lighs at 20-30 MPH over the speed limit, and how many big dips we have in roads (to channel monsoon downpurs off roads) I can't see those two pretend trucks lasting long here.

[flvegan]

32. "Just another imbecile cult member." Yeah, that is a statement I guess.

[3catwoman3]

33. They look like a cheap prop from a bad 1950s sci-fi flick.

Totally FUGLY.

[murielm99]

34. A few months ago, one drove past

the courthouse where we have our No Kings demonstrations. The booing was loud.

[MineralMan]

35. I saw one a couple of months ago, taking up four spaces

at a supermarket parking lot. It was parked straddling a line and extended across the dividing line for four spaces in a drive-through area.

A quadruple ugliness of a vehicle.

[Paladin]

39. Can't understand spending that much money on a vehicle...

...that causes the public to point fingers at the drivers and openly sneer.

And don't tell me it doesn't happen, because I've seen it occur, several times. I've even had the pleasure of doing some of the sneering, myself. Hey, you take your retribution when and where it's available, without apologies...

[Melon]

40. Horrible deprecation now. The trucks are almost worthless because they are not wanted.

[RoseTrellis]

41. Epic flop

Cybertruck is shaping up to be one of the biggest automotive flops in recent memory.
Retail sales are an absolute bloodbath: Tesla managed only about 45,000 deliveries in all of 2025 — a pathetic fraction of the 250,000-per-year target Musk was bragging about just two years ago. Production has been quietly throttled; the Austin lines that were supposed to crank out thousands a week are now barely spitting out 2,000 a month. Dealership lots (and Tesla’s own inventory pages) are overflowing with unsold units, forcing discounts of $10–15k off sticker on brand-new trucks just to move them.
