Tesla Cybertruck

One of the funnest parts of designing Cybertrucks is how easy it is to modify any kind of truck, sometimes even rig or car into a Cyber-something. Results may vary, but the process is always enjoyable. I always dreamt of designing cars, and for me, simple geometrical shapes are paramount. I was planning on more rounded shapes for this decade, maybe a comeback of 50's inspired roundedness, but it seems that Tesla's design team has decided otherwise. So, it will probably be a decade of squareness, like the 30's or 80's.

  The other day on Twitter, Elon Musk announced that Tesla are working on suspension for the Cybertruck which will allow it to 'kick butt in Baja'. This is a very exciting prospect for the future of EVs and off-road racing but is this version a step too far? We are not due to see a Cybertruck on the roads for a couple years yet, but that doesn't mean brands can't start showing off their potential. Forgiato have released this render of a lifted Cybertruck with chunky tyres and their own wheels on it I suppose since this is electric, then it will essentially be a 1:1 scale model of a remote controlled monster truck? But all jokes aside, I think this would give a Ford F-350 a run for its money. What do you think? Via Drivetribe

Tesla Cybertruck gets fun paintball accessory for that hardcore apocalyptic look The Tesla Cybertruck is an extremely tough vehicle that’s quite literally designed to outlast the most durable vehicles in the market. Yet inasmuch as the Cybertruck is capable of performing real work, the vehicle in itself will likely be extensively used for recreation as well. Teslas, after all, are among the most fun things that are available for purchase, as per CEO Elon Musk. In the spirit of fun, Eon Musk has provided some hints at some Cybertruck features that will make the all-electric pickup a truly fun vehicle to own. These include a ramp that would make it easier for owners to load bikes and ATVs, and, more recently, a heavy-duty paintball machine gun that’s mounted on the vehicle’s bed rails. Musk mentioned this feature when he was asked on Twitter if Tesla will produce a “Not-a-Railgun” for the all-electric pickup. “What about a heavy duty, paintball machine gun mounted on the bed rails?” Musk...

 Station wagons are out of fashion, and sales have significantly decreased since the beginning of the 2000's to reach what are probably their all-time lows since their introduction (I would love to find statistics on this). Yet, they still exist, notably in the form of short version such as this Cyberwagon. It looks sporty, edgy, and could fit both American and European car design landscapes, which is no small feat.

The Cybertruck is already a hit in video games: many games now allow skins, mods, or full on Cybertrucks to be used. The graphics are varyingly qualitative, but the intent is there: Tesla's pickup is a must show in a car game, just like classic Mustangs or more recently Supras. What games do you know that feature the Cybertruck?

Many people will hesitate before buying the Cybertruck. They will need to see some in the streets, hear someone from the neighbourhood talk about his, and when they’ll suddenly realize they could miss the hype train, they will get onboard. Just like for other Tesla’s at first, they were for early adopters, risk takers, but they slowly become the obvious even for the most conservative buyers. Credit: IG @nikos.kal_
