Dunno about you guys, but for me, this car looks awful. It looks like a 5 y.o. b0y worked on its design.

I couldn't agree more. Although it is an engineering marvel, it looks like something my son would have designed when he played Minecraft. And I'm a hardcore Tesla enthusiast

just recently posted, hoovie took his cybertruck to the car wizard


the quality is quite laughable, hoovie's is already leaking lol... i'd still be excited to see one on the street though, also interesting how much of the car is just standard car parts pretty much used universally

Good! Who gives a ***k!!! You love what you love and are passionate about it, that's what this whole site is about.

I won't drive a car that doesn't have a V8, so you don't have to tell me. I leave the door open every time I start up the Merc to hear it, it's got that German starter whir that no Lexus ever has had lol.

Yeah, I don't really give a flying ****. If I think Elon or Tesla messed up, I'll say it. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. If that makes me not fully in, eh so be it.

I'll admit I used to be a die hard Toyota/Lexus customer. If someone said something bad about Toyota or Lexus, I would correct them. Got in trouble with a lot of BMW and Mercedes owners 🤣. I still appreciate Toyota and Lexus as a company that builds solid long lasting cars, but I learned my lessons defending "Brands" or personalities

Yeah, it was prolly one of Elon's children! He/she had a nightmare, and this was the result! For me, this is not just awful, it is despicable!

not sure why you find it 'despicable' lol.

i don't like the looks and the compromises it brings in space and visibility, but the vehicle is still a hugely impressive work of engineering innovation and manufacturing.

Thanks for posting. My son gets the Car and Driver magazine so I had read this exact review (many of the pics in the magazine are taken from this vid), but the video is WAY more informative and entertaining to me. His sheer joy around the 12 minute mark while accelerating is pretty cool. And... 35 inch tires? Wow.

I don't think I'd ever own one of these because of the attention it brings, it's just not my style. I do like the look of them though. And I'm really impressed by the engineering behind so many aspects of it. I like companies that push the envelope in an effort to ultimately make others step up their games.

35's are pretty common for off road type vehicles i believe.

yeah that qx80 is so subtle.

I like companies that push the envelope in an effort to ultimately make others step up their games.
agree completely!!

As Roman puts it: An off-road truck designed by on-road people. Laughable performance on the trail. Everybody who thinks it's going to be the off-roader to end all off-roaders doesn't off-road.
