If you want a car that looks like a doorstop you really want a lancia Stratos. Of course this are impossible to obtain much like the cyber truck.

Do you mean the Stratos Zero? The 'regular' Stratos had a decent production run and you can still get a Lister Bell version today if you want so it's better than a Cybertruck

Development of the cyber truck was transferred to the new cyber bus project. These were to be used by the UK goverment to transport gyro recipients to the dick sucking factory for forced labor. That plan had to be put on hold due to social distancing issues.

The cyber truck was just cover for the opening vestiges of corona virus. Remember when we laughed because the unbreakable window broke?

Well, at the time it got a lot of media attention, and at the same time the illuminati were planting corona virus into the bat that the guy ate in China which then turned in to whats going on now. See, the thing is, a lot of people believe that there already IS a cure for it, but scientists haven't found out a way to make the vaccine cause autism yet. But if you think about that for two seconds, you know thats a load of poo poo.
If they want the corona virus vaccine to cause autism, all "they" have to do is add the same ingredients from ALL THE OTHER VACCINES THAT CAUSE AUTISM (all of them obviously), and then your Corona virus vaccine causes autism. But "they" already know that, and have done it. So, its not that they can't release the vaccine because it doesn't cause autism yet, its that they're waiting for a whole poo poo load more cases to come up then "MIRACULOUSLY" the cure will be released "discovered". Its pretty much the difference between BIG PHARMA/ILLUMINATI/BIG OIL/CLINTON CRIME FAMILY/SOROS/ROTHSCHILDS/ETC making a few tens of millions of dollars VS making Tens of Billions of dollars.

Elon Musk is a part of this, by sabotaging his windows he (musk) deliberately got the attention of the media away from the market in China where the corona bat was sold. The dude actually selling the bat was busy staring at his TV laughing and pretty much being all "ooohhhhh stupid american with supposed breakproof windows on ugly truck think he so special", and as that was happening, One of the highest of highs in the illuminati, injected "bat patient zero" with corona virus. Illuminati guy himself however, had already been inoculated with the non-autism causing formula of the vaccine that is reserved for the global elite and a select few other 1%ers who aren't necessarily part of that "elite", but are considered worthy enough to get the non-autism causing vaccine.

there is a huge market gap for a small affordable pickup, ford would have the us cornered.

every other truck out there costs like $35k and has a fake hood scoop and is the size of a city bus.

If it had legitimate offroad capability and came with a manual transmission in more than just the absolute barest of bare bones model, I'd consider buying one.

It’s for people who need to carry stuff around in town and for whom the smaller size and better fuel economy is more important than being able to carry an entire building while running over Priuses or whatever.

I can see these being popular as fleet vehicles. The Cybertruck could’ve cornered the fleet truck market had it been designed as a sensible electric truck instead of the complete joke that it is.

starts at 20k for bare bones 1.5L front wheel drive base model.

5k less than a ranger


So for 5k less than a ranger I can get a smaller vehicle with a car suspension, with a car engine, no all wheel drive, neither the passenger room of a car, nor the bed space or towing capacity or customization of a truck, and no luxury options. Wonderful.

the entire automotive market has shifted $5-$10k up in price minimum pretty much across the board and this is an attempt to introduce something back into that lower price/value bracket, I could see it doing quite well.

not everyone needs advanced action depth grommets or 46” death-wheels or fake hood scoops, sometimes they just need to haul a couple 100 pound bags of cement across town affordably.

I’m not buying one, I work in an office, but won’t be surprised when others will.

here is the Brazilian made ford courier, based on a fiesta:



is it a tiny miserable turd? yes. can you put poo poo in the back? is it extremely affordable to buy and maintain? very

will this new truck suck quite as bad? I would guess it would split the difference for those on a budget esp since there will be nothing else like it in the us

It was pretty far into development but then they released that video of the Cybertruck getting outtowed by another truck and that's something you cant recover from in the truck world. Also, the people making it realized that they did not actually know what a truck was and what it was used for when they designed it, so it is in the process of being redesigned and rebranded as Cybersuck but it's more of a appliance now than anything.

For when lonely nights turn bonely
I'm still holding out for a Toyota Sienna with 7.5 inches of ground clearance. Better cargo capacity and seating than my midsize truck and is the same length. Slap a roof rack on it and it's a competent trailhead vehicle.

The only other retail vehicle on the market with the same cargo capacity and seating capability is a full-size Suburban, Ford Expedition, or similar. The van is a lot easier to parallel park.

You're describing the new big Subaru. AWD, 3 row seating for 8, and 8.7 inches of ground clearance.
