Tesla Revising The CyberTruck Design - What Would You Change?

Tesla CEO Elon Musk mentioned recently that the Cybertruck would be undergoing “small improvements” to improve the all-electric pickup’s design. Unknowingly, the Tesla community wondered what could possibly be revised for the company’s soon-to-be-produced truck, but as of now, the revisions are being kept under wraps.

That is for about a month or so, in Elon Musk’s words, who stated on November 1st that Tesla would release some images of the Cybertruck’s newly-revised design to the public. Based on Musk’s past statements, who was responsible for unveiling the Cybertruck to the world a year ago this month, some indicators prove the new design could be better than the initial one.

Hmmm..Tesla best be sure to tackle their reliability and quality issues before rolling out whatever version of CyberTruck that makes it to production.

Pickup buyers will have zero tolerance for a poorly constructed vehicle that spends lots of time in the repair shop.

Pickup buyers are also very conservative (witness the buyers who are ONLY Ram/Dodge, or ONLY Ford, or ONLY Chevy/GMC).

Tesla has to realize that in the light duty truck segment, they "won't get a second chance to make a first impression".

ok. the stealth fighter angular exterior was a fun exercise. dark, sexy, capable, mysterious...now grow up.

something closer to the Dodge Rampage 4-door truck concept from 2006 or 2008 would appeal to just about everyone globally. either scale it or offer 2 versions - small like the ModelY & midsize like the ModelX.

I just realized that the pic for the article shows concept trucks similar to the Dodge Rampage concept truck I mentioned. The burly off-roader look is fine, but the average-Joe public needs to see versions with on-street trim & wheel/tire packages. Thats mostly who would be buying a Tesla pickup initially.

That image is just some random rendering by someone on the Internet. While I think it looks pretty good, no one has any clue what the production Cyber Truck will look like. Odds are it won't be this one.

Basic body form is genius, to provide ultra durable (dent and rust free body) and to function as vehicle structure. In addition safes on traditional tooling.
I would stylistically, only replace the roof peak with a flat section.

I'd completely change the look so that it's no longer so FUGLY.
