The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money::Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money.
No shit. I’d bet money the Cybertruck design isn’t coming from an engineer. Elon probably sat down with his crayons, drew his dream car and forced his poor employees to try and make this piece of shit work.
I think all of us had the Cybertruck design back when we were about 4 years old.
It’s like a car from the N64 era. Nobody is nostalgic for the actual look and feel of the N64 era. Behold!

actually… that kinda makes me nostalgic. No Mercy was the best, and it holds up pretty well!
30%? It’s like 50-100% more money than promised. Also lower payload/towing capacities.
My guess is the author first calculated how much less range, in which case the bigger number is the denominator, then mistakenly did the same for how much more money, so (61k-40k)/61k ~= 30%
The mkbhd first impressions were fascinating for what he didn’t say. I’m guessing that he didn’t want to burn the good times he has with Tesla so he really seemed to be trying to positively spin everything. At least, that’s my interpretation. The mirrors were particularly… https://youtu.be/XxOh12Uhg08?si=jlfuFU70v5cGd8HV
That is what all YouTubers do as they do not want to bite the hand that feeds them.
Because everything musk does is basically bullshit.
- $30k Tesla
- Tesla semi
- Cybertuck 4 years late
- Full autonomous driving
- Hyperloop
Even SpaceX is missing targets in a big way.
SpaceX is his only successful project, and that’s because it has a defense contract.
I am not so sure it is successful though. They are missing their targets by years left right and center and even recently admitted they will not be ready for NASA’s Artemis Project. https://www.space.com/spacex-starship-problems-delay-artemis-3-2026
Spacex is a massive success, with little thanks to Musk. Those engineers are fucking rock stars.
If you mean “some” technical success…I would agree.
I feel like this whole article is based on a false premise.
Go to a dealership right now, and try to find any new truck for $36,000. On paper you might be able to get the lowest base model, but in reality good luck with that.
I just checked the dealership near me, and the lowest price for a new vehicle of any kind is 39,400CAD or about 28,000USD. The lowest priced new truck is 66,500CDN, or about 49,300USD.
That’s just what the world looks like now thanks to inflation. And that’s not a vehicle using expensive battery technology, and that’s not a vehicle made out of expensive, difficult to manufacture with stainless steel, it’s just the cheapest standard truck at the dealership.
Really, it looks like the cybertruck is about bang on with prices for other EV trucks that aren’t made out of entirely stainless steel. Considering that Tesla isn’t a budget brand, that doesn’t seem unreasonable. Nobody at Tesla is psychic, they couldn’t have predicted super high inflation sparked in part due to policies enacted due to a global pandemic, so of course prices rose.
Why is this thing so goddamn ugly? It’s like the designers took all the worst sci-fi vehicles from movies and smushed them into one.

It’s what people thought modernity would look like back in the 70’s and 80’s - all function and no form
