Biggest Truck Announcement this week

[jondilly1974]

Two major trucks were announced this week. Kraton 8s and the CyberTruck. Both are having slight QC issues. Kraton chassis is taking hits. CyberTruck windows aren’t as tough as advertised. Both are large for their class. Both battery powered. Both badass IMO.

How many kraton 8s’s can you fit inside of the cyber truck?

Pontiac, we made the ugliest car in the world.
Tesla, hold my beer.

Tesla is ugly AF, couldn't give me one. I'll take the K8S anyday! I ?

 

[Alex.M]

Human barbecue or kraton.... Hmmm.........Kraton!!!?

If we change the motor pinion in the CyberTruck, can it, at least, pop up wheelies?

 

[Captain Dirt]

Tesla looks like it came out of an 80s video game.
Kraton, on the other hand, still looks badass, just like the 6S and the 4S.

Actually the Tesla looks like it was made in Minecraft ??

Just wait for those solid state batteries. This thing could have 1000 mile range and auto pilot. You could go coast to coast without stopping (if you have a pee jug)

I know it’s ugly but has anyone read why the panels are shaped like they are?

Can't stamp this sort of stainless, so instead it is laser cut and folded into shape. Also skips the painting process.
Problem is little scratches show up on stainless, as well as finger prints etc. (just like the stainless appliance in the kitchen)
To refinish it you need to apply a linear sanding process and buffing.

DeLorean owners have had that headache for years. I like that Tesla is pushing boundaries, but that 80's angular style never went over well. They should have took some notes on success/failures of the past.

It seriously looks like something out of Freejack.

My thoughts exactly on the scratching part @LibertyMKiii. That would drive me nuts! Apparently Tesla is developing this stainless in house. It was originally developed for their rocket.

Supposedly they plan on a matte black version too.

I hope so.
