    I’ve never understood the appeal of the cross turismo. It’s like taking a great ass and giving it baggy wind pants.

    amazing feel of the regular taycan though, sexy and fast af

    Looks much better in person than video or pictures can capture, it’s stunning. Who will buy them? You idiots still don’t understand that they will sell as many as they can manufacture for the foreseeable future, that’s why they are charging $100k for it. Anyone with both testicles intact is who will want one when they see it in person. Great review from Hagerty.

    Worst thing about Cybertruck is that they marketed it as a truck. Call it a Cyber Utility Vehicle. It’s awesome. Literally stood in the NYC store in awe, its presence can’t be captured on film. I think it’s because it looks flat on camera when in person it is TALL, hulking which gives it a more aggressive feel.

    Good video. The Cyber Truck seems like it does have some revolutionary design and engineering aspects but I still don't like how it looks. I saw a couple driving around Austin maybe 6 weeks ago. It just didn't look good. I think if it was painted then it would look better.

    This has been explain a dozen times. Those who need real durability, not advertisement-on-tv durability. Lets put it another way; Those who need a work horse, not a show pony.

    Imagine replacing that front windshield panel from a random pebble hitting it on the freeway.

    Insurance costs will a fun one for this, but hey, **** insurance if u got 100k to burn for a vanity car.

    35 mph frontend wreck bends the back axle, what else did it **** up? Now you have to replace every panel on the truck, because they'll all be out of wack, so you need to make an appointment with a Tesla shop somewhere within 100 miles of your house. And rent a Tesla (X??) for the year it will take you to get it fixed. Insurance companies will love this.

    You can't put a price tag on a gift from the Engineering Gods, Buck.

    Here's a new fun thought!?!

    All of that energy in a 35mph simple little wreck, that crumples in the front "crumple zone" of a normal vehicle?

    It now gets sent all throughout that cybertruck (hence! why the rear axle falls to pieces in a low speed collision)

    Humans are inside of that truck, theoretically, and are going to take the brunt of that energy and movement. Also: you will be much more likely to kill the people in the car you hit simply due to the hammer-effect of how the truck is built.

    Enjoy your tesla.
