Tesla Cybertruck

The world is still digesting what happened last week. Radical, shocking, angular, brave, ugly, polarizing, futuristic, functional, revolutionary.. You can say many things about the Tesla Cybertruck, positive and negative. But one thing is sure, we will be talking about it in 25 years as the vehicle that sparked a revolution in car design.

In the meantime, 250k people (and counting) reserved the truck without knowing when the actual production will really start or if the truck is even street legal in its current form. That's at least a validation of the design. Or maybe it's a validation of the idea of a truck with amazing specs, a reasonable price and a very basic design.
