Many folk are fearful of the design but this is a perfect case of form follows function. I truly believe that Elon Musk is the genius of our time and we won't fully appreciate his work, concepts and leaps of faith until he is dead and buried. Tesla, as a company, is delivering the future, today! This is what everybody wants, it's a little like telling the truth, everybody wants it but few want to hear it.
With the Giga factory, he is ready and waiting to service the future needs of the entire global automotive industry! If this happens on the scale I think it might, Musk's companies will swallow the likes of Apple's revenue/s and profits for brunch.

If you like the styling you can have a something a little quicker, with a greater payload, and an equal ability to frustrate speed cameras:
Oh, and the windows don’t break so easily!
PH
I would expect the cost to be parity with the £, as most US items that are sold over here are, I'd expect more like £39k.
In all seriousness though, I currently have a diesel pickup truck and this is alot more practical, huge loading bay with ramp, adaptive suspension etc.
I'm also curious to test electric rather than diesel which I will be punished/shamed for soon with the way things are going.

Interesting. I've been very happy with my new Outlander PHEV commercial. One thing let's it down that was easy to resolve is.......range.
It needs to have a longer range as the current range doesn't go far enough. Especially when the idiots in govt don't get the charging infrastructure right and you can't charge at the other end at all....let alone quickly.
Tesla have the charging infrastructure better but it is still a chasm away from where it needs to be NOW.....let alone in the medium term as many more EV's are sold and used.

Not sure why the tax payer should be forking out for charging points? Private companies are flooding the market with these Scalextric cars with very limited interest in how they will function once off the forecourt.

My son said....It looks like a Lego car....Don’t get Tesla at all. They make ground braking cars but forget to style them.....That is truly awful. Fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down...This chap has no idea of style what so every. He may be delivering the future as far as electric power but design wise.....not so. If future vehicles look like this then i’ll ride a push bike. The more I look at it the more it looks like a concept car from the 1970’s....Not so forward looking then.

I’m intrigued by Tesla and Musk the Megalomaniac. I’ve read a great deal about $TSLA on Twitter and the outrageous claims and numbers Musk blurts out. There’s a lot to suggest it’s a Ponzi Scheme. There is no chance whatsoever of fulfilling their manufacturing targets or fantasy ‘orders’. He claimed there were 482 orders per minute of these the other day. There is more chance of the Alfieri arriving for Christmas than Musk manufacturing these trucks for £22000 on U.K. roads in the next 3 years.

I think its the best looking ugly car ive seen for years , would have one, but would want the tri motor - 6 seats, 500 mile range, 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and a huge ampunt of boot space.
Its going to be huge though think Hummer plus.
Tesla has taken 200,000 plus deposits of $100 dollars which is a very handy cash injection for the project.

what a weird unveiling of this truly fugly thing, from the ridiculous outfits to all the fake bullet proof glass, undamageable bodywork and ridiculous truck pull, thought the whole thing was a joke but seems there are plenty of people that fall for his bull cr4p

I've placed an order too, for the tri-motor.
It was the truck pull that did it for me. You see, I currently own a F150, and the cybertruck appealled as the ultimate successor.
Yeah, the looks are a bit marmite, but 0-60 in under 3 seconds, electric bed cover, carry 6 adults in comfort, and a 500 mile range is pretty awesome.
Plus, if I install 30 or so solar panels to charge it up every day I'll get free motoring too.
