Hands up for the individual small man with new ideas, it is them that push new ideas and make things move forward.

I have to say the design has grown on me. But the thing i really like it that it feels like he it trying to say to all the other car makers everything you design looks the same make something different. we are are on the verge of the biggest shift in car history since the internal combustion engine, why shouldn't we have some fun with the design of vehicles. I know others will disagree but i like that it is unpainted stainless steel, to me as a work vehicle that makes sense and i could totally see them flying a couple to mars and with the ultra rugged design they would be ideal.

It’s not our generation that’s going to like the looks of it, it’s clearly our kids that will like it for their own reasons. That’s where I think Tesla will be successful with this Truck. I can remember when people thought the newer mustang design of the 80’s was ugly, now people growing up during that time desire them, or the change in the camero, or the corvette... for that matter the Ford pickup’s changes 80’s, 90’s and the last 15 years. Ford knocked on the aluminum body, how it won’t hold up, even Chevy commercials showing the bed felling with a load of stuff dropped in it... people are afraid of change, more than anything, and that drives the hundreds of comments seen below. I’m with you on this, it’s the future, and despite my personal opinions of how ugly it is, all driven by fear of change might I add, I still commend Tesla for putting it out there. My bets on they will be successful with it.

Best vid I've seen so far on the truck. As for the looks, its throwing people off because they have a truck image in their mind. Get rid of that. Its a military style vehicle. More Humvee then pickup. The flat angle design is like a tank not a truck. Everything screams armored personnel carrier. The hardened angled rustproof steel,the hardened flat angled glass, the exoskeleton frame, flat bottom, low center of gravity,can forge deep water and of course all the off road capabilities it has. This thing does everything a real truck is supposed to do. It even has onboard power and compressor. If you wont buy it because they didnt make it pretty enough for you then you dont actually need a truck in the first place. And the price to buy and operate is low. They might get a military contract or 2 for these. Adding more armour and accessories would be ridiculously easy with the flat design.

All other trucks just became boring.

[@Maverick0420]

All other trucks just breathed a sigh of relief because no self respecting truck owner will ever ditch his Ford, Chevy, or Dodge for this abomination.

[@frankspeaking2630]

@@Maverick0420 Police, Military, emergency services, maintenance and service companies, Parks etc will buy. Accountants don't care about looks, just the bottom line

[@Maverick0420]

@Frank Speaking No government agency is going to waste money on that. They all have government contracts with Ford and other manufacturers for diesel and gas vehicles because they are way cheaper and easier to repair. You really think the US military would buy a cybertruck???

[@andresll.9366]

@@Maverick0420 you are right, respecting ford owners bla bla bla... Brain washed... Smart people that realize is a better investment will change their trucks... People that base their thoughts on how they feel will keep wasting money...

[@Zeovods]

@@Maverick0420 sorry to be the party pooper, but the military and multiple police departments have already looked at the truck for many different applications. I mean bruh its 9m bulletproof at base price and a tank design on top of that. With some of the best off-roading specs available also at base price lol. I guess time will tell

[@How2RC]

YEAH, For you !!! You nailed it, everyone is so afraid of trying something new. When I was small, we would play name that car on a road that was the late 40s. Build your plane, Grab the Bull by the horns. You Rock !!!

We live in a world of fake people ,great you see it too ? Nice truck

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

The fact that many have pre-ordered despite not 100% liking the looks or even finding it ugly should tell you that the functionality is off the charts. Fake people waffle or stick to the well-known while the internet has tons of testimonials from actual truck users who love the cybertruck mainly for its functionality at those price points. For some, the functionality must be a great reason to convince themselves to get this bad-ass looking vehicle they otherwise could not buy.

Love this video man. This made me a subscriber.

Modern deloreon, to be used in the remake of back to the Future.

[@marram2830]

Mrgopherhead that would be awesome

[@j.p.randolph256]

I'm a huge fan of all your work/projects. I envy your intellect and energy. Sorry you think the truck is ugly. I think it's really cool, and an incredible value. If I could I'd buy one. I think the looks of the truck will grow on you and most of the consumers out there.

[@petercrowhurst]

how many people are talking about it , I think Elon has won just in veiws

[@paulfaheyFineArt]

And "good on ya" for saying so! It's the innovators like you and Mike and Elon that make the world keep working.You guys deserve everything you need or want. Thank You,

[@davidhronowski5114]

8 billion in pre orders ( first 24 hrs ) is hardly showing hate.

[@91backinblack]

Great video, Mark!

[@nolanabell703]

I don’t even think it’s that ugly, imagine seeing that next to a Camry on the highway

[@cdav]

Imagine seeing one next to an F150 on a highway, would make the Ford look like a Camry

[@henrikcarlsen1881]

Well, it's ugly

[@michaelstephan1289]

Mark, Your comments are great. I too through the truck was ugly and underwhelming. I thought the windows shattering were also cringe worthy. However, your comments are so true. My opinion of Tesla is restored and I love the way you and your family (Brother) think and live. I’m a believer. A Patey believer. In you and almost everything you guys do. You’re motivating.
