I can't make the leap for tractors, but I can get there on pickups.
At least mine, that I run in the garage at night, and 75% no payload except 700 lb or so of tools and a compressor.
If he produced an electric GMC 1500 SLT with 500 mile range, I'm there too. But I might wait for them to put a different body on it. [Reply]

I get that same kind of Lunar Rover vibe. I don't hate it like some others. I think in that first pic Buehler posted where the trunk is covered it looks neat. Very futuristic. Not sure I'd want it to be my daily driver though [Reply]
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I don't intend to be on the bleeding edge of a fucking pickup on the farm, I keep lower miles pickup for my wagon strictly because I don't want to fuck around with breakdowns. It just needs to run. So I'm a long way from ordering one, but on the surface it makes sense if it can do the same things mine can. [Reply]
There is no way that design as is will meet NHTSA standards. If that thing hit a pedestrian, they would be cut in half. I just hope that add a trapezoidal roof. I would be lying if I didnt say I was hoping he would pull a string, making the cardboard fall away and reveal the real truck. [Reply]

I used to draw trucks like that in second grade, before I learned about aerodynamics. [Reply]
Is there some kind of big crazy SUV out now that looks kind of like the cybertruck? I saw something on the road the other day that looked like a futuristic/speed racer vehicle. It was going the other way and I couldn't get a picture. [Reply]
