If Musk fulfils just 15 percent of Cybertruck preorders, it would equal the annual unit sales of Toyota. If the polarizing EV flops, Tesla could be in big trouble.

Unless something changes it isn’t going to be huge.

It will be a huge cause of accidents killing children based on what I've seen. Field of view seems more limited than on other SUVs and they all suck in that aspect.

If the panels are truly as strong as they claim this pointy truck will cut right trough a family van.

And as well as killing everyone in the family van, it'll snap every neck inside the tin bucket. With all the lights and right angles, its a struggle to make it look good, but wow, seeing it drive on the road, it just looks like a dusty lump of scrap.

I really want to see what the safety scores on this thing are. I can’t image they’ll be very good.
