My neighbor just bought one of these, and seeing as this SF
Bay real estate, he’s converted his garage into living space.
So he parks the thing on the street.

What an eyesore. It just looks comical. And huge. And SHINY.

And it already is a mess smudges and schumtz.

Apparently one crashed into the Beverly Hills Hotel sign yesterday. Derp.

Please post a pic if you will.
I live in a much smaller town and it will be a while before I have a neighborhood shot.
Thanks much.

cybertruck to me looks like a vehicle in a video game that's not been fully loaded yet. like the super simple geometry video games first put out when a stage is loading.

seeing as how the factory is here, starting to see them on a regular basis.

rode past one parked in my hood yesterday, it had an unique appearance. coming up from behind, the tailgate was a matte gray color but as I started to pass by, there was an irridescent effect.

the side panels were a metallic green that changed to a metallic light purple color as the light shifted.

couldn't tell if it was paint or a wrap...if I see it again will try and snap a pic.

Saw one in the 210 last week. It's an attention getter. Massive and funny looking.

This is my favorite comment I’ve seen on the truck yet, across any medium. Thank you!

woohooo

saw one yesterday roll slowly on my street (obviously wanting to be seen, going well below the 25mph limit). It's not as tall as I'd have thought, but wider than makes sense.

In person I like that it doesn't look like anything else, but it isn't for me.

I would, but I don’t think my neighbor would like a pic of his truck in front of his own house being posted on the internet.

I saw this yard mulch-hauling truck in person earlier in the week and my initial comment was that it looked like a freshman engineering project…pretty crude finishes/panel tolerances and the “hubcaps” were ornamental pieces of plastic, snapped onto the rims. Check out the 4’ windshield wiper…easy to find a replacement for sure. I imagine that the main purpose of the design is to generate comments whether positive or negative…all good for brand awareness I suppose.

What's an "origination experience"? Or is it one of those things where if I have to ask, I'm not worthy?
