    I’ve seen it twice this week. Once at HD and once at Lowe’s. Parked in the loading zone both times because that’s where Elon said in the manual you’re supposed to park it. I took a few quick pics. The fingerprints were kind of jarring, maybe they were there to get the fridge stainless spray stuff.

    Someone forgot their new fridge in a parking spot, hopefully they come back!



    Joking aside Ive seen a few around here driving and when they’re coming towards you they do look like rolling refrigerators. From behind they look very strange since the body is angled. From the side far away I immediately noticed the fingerprints as well. The hoovies garage video that just came out was funny in comparing a DeLorean to a CyberTruck while towing it.

    Never seen one in person. I can't tell the scale of them in the videos, how they compare to an f150 (or Tundra). Looks car-sized :monocle:

    I was not going to stop walking and look too closely, but it seemed like maybe the size of a Tacoma, maybe slightly longer wheelbase

    Have seen 2 different ones up here in summit. Pretty sure because I saw one pulling a trailer and 40 minutes later one without a trailer.

    And I can't stop seeing this when I see them. 26756011-F37E-4CFD-B286-25B580AE6E10.jpg

    Comparable to a Ridgeline with a wider and longer whee base and bigger tires.

    Just slightly smaller than the F-150

    “According to Tesla, all Cybertrucks will span 223.7 inches in length or about 18 and a half feet.It's also 86.6 inches wide with the mirrors folded, or a cool 95 inches with the mirrors extended and 70.5 inches tall.”

    Ha! Yup, I'd agree.

    There was one driving around town last week - first one I've seen in person. By the end of the week, the driver's door was caved in like they'd turned in to a parking pylon. o_O

    They’re full size truck sized. Someone at my customer’s facility has one that I see regularly. They’re uglier in person :rofl:

    I’ve seen a couple around here. Gotta be honest: I love it. And I think it’s hilarious that it is real.

    We all used to draw tanks and trucks with missles being fired at each other when we were kids. That’s what this looks like to me—someone held on to that childlike idea of a cool futuristic truck and decided to actually build it.

    It’s like those pics “if your kids’ drawings of animals were real” except it’s a truck that actually exists with 2500 lbs of payload, 10k+ ft lbs of torque, and more acceleration than nearly anything else imaginable.

    Absolutely jaw droppingly hilarious to me. He did it. He really did it. :rofl:

    I think you’re spot on — it’s divisive but I can’t help but appreciate what it took to get it to a Lowe’s near me. Take that China. :D

    But does it have tow hooks, and if not, how much do those run.

    Elon is a genius, but he’s also a hilarious troll.

    I just appreciate the presence of middle school humor at the highest levels of human innovation.
