The proportions are clearly different than the concept cars. The hood (bonnet) is not nearly as long, and the wheelbase is shorter, probably mostly in the front. Hard to tell anything else with the camouflage in place.

I don't know about you guys, but I've already put my US$5 deposit down on one.

Didn't Elon say that about his CyberUrinal?

You would not believe the # of CyberTrucks we have driving around this area -- every one of them as butt-ugly as the other. It's mystifying.

Seen a few in my neck of the woods as well. I don’t get it myself. They are so weird looking, and they are so expensive.

It’s gonna take some time but Tesla will eventually get left in the dust. I really believe that.

I see quite a few around here too, some fully wrapped. As for Tesla's long term prospects, I don't know. They were in the vanguard with electric cars years ago, but there were just 700,000 vehicles recalled for an issue with the TPMS that could lead to crashes. Initially, the Model S had excellent fit and finish. The Cybertrucks have been plagued with poot fit and other problems. That, and they resemble dumpsters.

I followed the F-Type from the first teasers from Jaguar. I drove them that first year, but could not afford one. I worked to make it possible and when the 6MT was announced, put a deposit down. I'm not saying that will happen with the new car, but I'll go look, and maybe even drive one. The dealer practically begged me to drive the i-Pace when it was pre-production, and it did drive well. At the time it would have been my top choice for an electric but I was not in the market. In that market niche I'd be looking at Kia now. They're nice looking but I haven't driven one.
