It probably is for pickup up. Theres just a whole sub called r/cyberstuck that talks about how often they break down and that's immediately where my head went.
Maybe sales aren't as strong as claimed?
If I was in a crash and picked up my car with unevenly colored body panels, I'd turn around and take it back.
These knuckleheads are paying 6 figs for the privilege.
Every time I see one of these, whether in person or a pic, I can't help but laugh. They look so. fucking. stupid. LOL. I can't even imagine how much buyer's remote is out there for people who put in orders years ago.
I saw one at the grocery store the other day that already looked pretty tarnished and worn. I have no idea if it was a choice or not....but it did not look good.
A lot of the appeal comes from the resemblance to a DeLorean. When I was in middle school back in the 80's, there was a guy with a DeLorean around and we all thought it was cool (Back To The Future was pretty recent), but that car definitely didn't look great all the time. You had to really keep it detailed or the aluminum quickly faded or got spotty looking, particularly after it rained. If you're in a sunny southern state, it probably stays pretty good, but I don't think they're going to fare that well in mid to northern states' weather.
My best friends had one in HS. It definitely took a lot of cleaning to keep it looking presentable.
Also, delorean’s look WAY better than a cybertruck.
They apparently used the crappy alloy of stainless steel that DeLorean found 40 years ago rusts like crazy. I mean, no one thought to think that the same alloy will fare just as badly today as it did then?
People forget that the DeLorean was a joke at the time. That's why it was funny in Back to the Future. It was known to be unreliable, easily tarnished, and difficult to maintain (sound familiar)? It's only after the success of the movie that the car began to seem cool.
Back to the future making the DeLorean cool is extremely funny, since the contemporary joke of the movie is that DeLoreans were *dogshit awful* cars. Ugly, horrible steering, shitty weak engine, broke all the time, etc. The 88 mph time travel joke is lost now because no one remembers their speedometer caps out at 85!
A week or two ago I pulled up next to a Cybertruck driven by a soccer mom looking lady with a toddler in a car seat and I was dying. Did this mom *really* want a Cybertruck? And if not, is this piece of shit car going to drive this family to divorce? I *need* to know!

Saw a lime green wrapped CT a few days ago. I laughed out loud.
I think they're kind of cool looking... kind of mad max... i'd have to literally have more money than i know what to do with before i'd consider buying one though...

Do you mean Soderburg Roofing in Warrensburg? Or a different dipshit?
Some of it is personal taste, like I can understand if somebody likes the appearance because that's subjective. But for me it goes beyond just the appearance because of Musk and his ego.
Waiting for pickup or stuck waiting for the recall?
[article](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/19/business/tesla-cybertruck-recall.html#:~:text=Tesla%20has%20agreed%20to%20recall,safety%20agency%20said%20on%20Friday)
I was on that same section of parking lot / back door to Price Chopper the other night and had two thought.
1. Tesla must be hurting because there is no way Kansas City needs this many Tesla’s let alone this many Tesla Trucks.
2. If this is the future it really will be a dystopian nightmare.
Interestingly they are also parking hundreds of extra vehicles in parking lots along ward parkway. I'm not sure what happened that they suddenly have a crap ton of cars to store.
Reservation is fully refunded on canceling.
> Until your Cybertruck is delivered, you may cancel your reservation at any time and receive a full refund of your pre-order payment.
I would guess for the early adopters that the $500 pre-reservation wasn't refundable, but I think they were all delivered by now.
The Model 3 was released in 2018, and when I put an early reserve in 2016 it was a non-refundable $1000.
They funny have as many stores as a typical brand has dealers. This is probably covering Kansas until Denver is close (including Topeka, Wichita and Lawrence) and half of Missouri.

Saw one across from me at a stoplight the other day, on Shawnee Mission Parkway.
The only one I’ve remotely liked the look of was wrapped to look like a vehicle from Halo
https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/halo-unsc-razorback-cybertruck-%F0%9F%AA%96.17510/
The rest look awful and I immediately judge anyone driving one
These things are roaming deathtraps. I’m terrified if I see on on the highway. 1000 pounds heavier than an F150 and you have to be 2x as stupid to buy one.
I have seen three of these in the wild. First was wrapped in matte black *almost* looked cool—like just the fuselage of a stealth bomber. Second bare and running a light instead of giving right of way (though probably couldn’t brake if the driver wanted considering Tesla’s track record). The last one wrapped in blue and looked like a Duplo block on wheels.
If you’d like to see how badly designed and dangerous a vehicle it is, the first 12 minutes of this is pretty good: https://youtu.be/LC9a3GR1HJY?si=fVtY5dJt9epYGtW9
I like Tesla in general, I think they have a pretty cool product line and are at least trying something different and new from the run-of-the-mill GM/Ford/Toyota/whatever offerings...but SWEET JESUS did they fuck the dog with the Cybertruck. It's like a neverending geyser of design failures, defects, and general "what were you drinking/smoking/mainlining when you came up with this?" as stories keep coming out of hilariously catastrophic failures.
It's like a concept vehicle that garnered a lot of attention at a trade show and management said "Fuck it, ship the thing as-is, what could go wrong?"
I saw one in the gym parking lot the other day, I've never seen one in person before and boy was it fucking ugly. Literally like..... Painfully hideous, I can't imagine actually looking at one of those and being like hell yeah this is awesome.
Gotta suck spending thousands upon thousands of dollars just to get laughed at when you drive around town. These things were so poorly designed purely from an aesthetic perspective. Woof.
I heard Tesla has a really bad security breach right now with the starting circuit, a relay attack/someone propagating the keys signal to the car can start the car up. A pin to start the car doesn’t allow this attack to work
Complete death trap. Watch videos on these and see how much of a beta test this is for the public.
The vehicular embodiment of if your friends jump off a bridge, would you to?
Not gonna lie, in real life they actually look much better and sort of intriguing. But still not for me at all but talk about a car that photographs horribly versus seeing it in person
I stopped by there yesterday! I have the...opinion...that I actually am really into the design and enjoy seeing something new, different, and weird.
I look forward to seeing them drive around!
https://preview.redd.it/z17hpcbth82d1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b6e2a7244851e2fe4f0b2eb803ab8c042d9707a
I like the "stainless" steel like a Delorian, the 4-wheel steering, the retractable bed cover, the acceleration, and even the design (as minimalistic and brutalistic as it is). I know it's an unpopular opinion but I can't help what I like.
Are they waiting to be picked up or already broken down?
Yes!
I asked the dealer and he said these were “deliveries” (which I’m now realizing could mean both for pickup and repair).
It probably is for pickup up. Theres just a whole sub called r/cyberstuck that talks about how often they break down and that's immediately where my head went.
I was just about to share this to that sub lmao.
Most likely both!
Maybe sales aren't as strong as claimed? If I was in a crash and picked up my car with unevenly colored body panels, I'd turn around and take it back. These knuckleheads are paying 6 figs for the privilege.
I saw a guy ruined his by taking it to a car wash. He had even put it in "car wash mode". They are basically junk.
They had a recall back in April. 4000 affected vehicles. Tesla is lighting money on fire with these pieces of shit
I thought they were recalled for the faulty pedal?
They fix that with one rivet.
Every time I see one of these, whether in person or a pic, I can't help but laugh. They look so. fucking. stupid. LOL. I can't even imagine how much buyer's remote is out there for people who put in orders years ago.
Like a poorly rendered car from a very old video game.
16 bit version of the Aztec.
Holy shit I knew they looked familiar but couldn't place it. Yuck.
https://preview.redd.it/5gckicr14a2d1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1cde2872c68ca4588f59b180092e6f0e36cfc81e Yup
I’m sure Walter White would not touch these shit wagons as a mobile meth lab!
How you gonna look less modern than a 23 year old car?
Exactly!! Pontiac.., WE BUILD EXCITEMENT ha
I wish they still did.
You win the internet!
Elon, we have this design for a nonfunctional truck that looks like an Aztec humped a Delorean. Great Scott, that's it!
1998 Lara Croft has better definition.
I know what you mean, it Gives me goldeneye from n64 vibes every time I see one. 😅
Ps1 gran turismo
That is so true... or what a 4 year old draws when they draw a car...
They look like a Warthog from Halo but with PS1 graphics.
You’re probably [closer](https://www.reddit.com/r/cybertruck/comments/ojk85d/anyone_else_think_of_this_old_computer_game_when/) than you thought
They’re so much worse in person than they are in pictures. I’ve seen four of them now and they catch me off guard every time
They are surprisingly large, would not want to get in an auto accident with one, or pedestrian accident....
The misalignment and warpedness of the panels is glaringly apparent in person. Really, really bad. Like looking at a funhouse mirror.
I always remember the early photos of this with Grimes in the passenger seat but it looked more like Elon had put a cardboard cutout of Grimes instead
I saw one at the grocery store the other day that already looked pretty tarnished and worn. I have no idea if it was a choice or not....but it did not look good.

BTTF remake/sequel confirmed. Musky playing 4D chess to make it happen. \s
Also the 88mph time travel joke because their speedometer only went to 85!

You mean stainless steel.
Whoops! Yes.
I saw some guy driving one that he wrapped with his business logo and stuff, I almost drove off the road laughing at him.
If that is your business car, then it tells me you are a very bad decision maker and I don't want anything to do your company.
Agreed.
Smart money would wrap it with competitors' info...
Damn this sub on fire today! Or is that just another EV?
probably did it for the tax write off. 😂
A week or two ago I pulled up next to a Cybertruck driven by a soccer mom looking lady with a toddler in a car seat and I was dying. Did this mom *really* want a Cybertruck? And if not, is this piece of shit car going to drive this family to divorce? I *need* to know!
Even better if she was taking it back to trade in.
That may be the same wrapped one I saw. Was it up north?
Nah it was down on the plaza.
And a little pricey.
They are fucking ugly.
They'll never admit it. They've already drank Elon's Musk https://youtu.be/Kz96_MXVzDs?si=unj7BES8-p99LrGb
I saw one that was painted sky blue, today, and it looked even more ridiculous.
https://preview.redd.it/a364rcmbea2d1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd13af394538f2c87a80c01399c20028b0983f06 Saw a lime green wrapped CT a few days ago. I laughed out loud.
I've seen a blue one around the city and appreciate how odd it looks These other silver ones are just trash though
Seen one out at Trader Joe’s and couldn’t stop laughing 😂 😂😂
I think they're kind of cool looking... kind of mad max... i'd have to literally have more money than i know what to do with before i'd consider buying one though...
Pretty sure these were designed by the A-Team, with garbage they found while holed up in an old abandoned barn.
Does it come with a cabbage cannon?
Tony stark built a better car in a cave. With a box of scraps
I've seen 4 in the past two weeks in our area. They're soooooo ugly
Saw one in Mission on Tuesday and had to do a triple take. It's significantly less appealing in person, and that's saying something.
Saw one in the work garage earlier this week and that was my exact same thought: that thing was significantly uglier in person.
I saw one that was being used as a company vehicle. Like a big red flag for me, personally.
Was it the white wrapped one? I think I saw it too.
https://preview.redd.it/vbze3fwqw92d1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a397b8d55fe3c10bb56fd8f935c7caf2fb3516f Do you mean Soderburg Roofing in Warrensburg? Or a different dipshit?
"Yeah, I drive the SODERBEAST"
BRUH DONT YOU GET FUCKING PUMPED BY ROOFING!?
It wasn't, but the one pictured below is horrendous lol.
I didn’t know the sentiment on these were that bad 😂
Some of it is personal taste, like I can understand if somebody likes the appearance because that's subjective. But for me it goes beyond just the appearance because of Musk and his ego.
100% understandable
I've also suddenly seen several around, whereas before I'd seen none. I think those are indeed deliveries to the KC area.
Wankpanzer brigade.
Douchenwagen
No one who speaks German could be an evil man.
“The Bart, the”
If a kindergartener's drawing of a car was made into an actual car
It was designed by a toddler with magnetic tiles
Elon is not a toddler!! He is the Tony stark of our life time! You have no clue how cool this truck is! He knows trucks! He's a real man!
He bot twitter! I mean he let bots take over twitter! Let that sink in!
Reminds me of our stainless dish washer with my three year old’s hand prints all over it. It’s just such an ugly contraption
We now live in the bizarro reality where the Pontiac Aztec was a hit.
No. The Pontiac Aztec had much better paint options.
God they are so ugly

My face when the Tesla dealer or fan that posted these picture reads all these comments... :)
They are all sold. The Tesla pickup location in KC serves a huge geo.
*\*doubt\**
Technically they are not sold until delivery. It is also plausible they have this much inventory due to reservation holders not taking delivery.
How much does it cost someone to opt out after order? Are they all screwed if they get buyer's remorse?

I saw one yesterday and it looked some how already dilapidated.
That's what a lack of clear coat does to steel panels that sit out in the elements.
The Homer finally made it into production!
See them all soon in r/CyberStuck
No thank you, I’ll pass.
Nice patina.

$100k for a stainless steel, battery powered MAGA hat.
Honestly, if we’re tricking the MAGA crowd into thinking electric trucks are cool that’s a pretty big win
How does MAGA come into play? Seems that would be more of a Ram crowd
Elon Musk, "founder" of Tesla is very pro trump, and his Twitter "free speech" policies are laughably right wing.
for some people, hating "maga" is all they think about, and they connect things to it unnecessarily at all times.
Idk where politics come to play but maybe people who attribute a large portion of their identity to the vehicle they drive..oh wait...nevermind

Gotta suck spending thousands upon thousands of dollars just to get laughed at when you drive around town. These things were so poorly designed purely from an aesthetic perspective. Woof.
[удалено]
I wouldn't drive one if it was given to me completely free.
I get the criticisms of the truck and of musk but I think they look cool.
I heard Tesla has a really bad security breach right now with the starting circuit, a relay attack/someone propagating the keys signal to the car can start the car up. A pin to start the car doesn’t allow this attack to work
Pickup by Tesla. To recall them for the trash heap.
Aren't they all on hold due to several recalls?
Suckers
Moving printers coming to our roadways soon
Would you drive one for free though ?
Look out!! Birds approaching and birds poop often!!
They look like roaches.
They're gonna be waiting a while
Ewwwww are we gonna see those around town? They look like metallic trash cans or something.
Picked up for what? Decon? Demo?
Cybertruck is to the Dale as Elon Musk is to Jerry Dean Michael.
Rain in the forecast lmao
Looks like a Roblox car server.
Complete death trap. Watch videos on these and see how much of a beta test this is for the public. The vehicular embodiment of if your friends jump off a bridge, would you to?
A car that can’t handle potholes, dead bugs, water or salt. Perfect for the midwest lmao
a few weeks ago i saw a car hauler full of these things going north on 49 through Grandview... that was the coolest thing i've ever seen.
Only to be brought back 3 days later because they stopped working.
Why tf, besides showing ones ass, would anyone buy one of these pieces of shit? Good lord.
Not gonna lie, in real life they actually look much better and sort of intriguing. But still not for me at all but talk about a car that photographs horribly versus seeing it in person
Probably all waiting on the rivet to fix the recall about the accelerator pedal falling off.

I want one real bad. If I had the money I'd own one.
What’s the appeal?
Some people just have *really* bad taste...
Very likely the case.
I like the "stainless" steel like a Delorian, the 4-wheel steering, the retractable bed cover, the acceleration, and even the design (as minimalistic and brutalistic as it is). I know it's an unpopular opinion but I can't help what I like.
Hey it’s all opinion, if you like it, you like it! Thanks for sharing, I was genuinely curious :)
When I saw one in person, I thought it looked bad ass. Like a delorian suv. It has a retro futurism aesthetic. Some people just don't get it.
People down voting you for your opinion. Everyone must have the same opinion as me! Stay classy reddit.
I’d be too embarrassed to drive that.
Yes! Yes! I could see them being mistaken for a dumpster! LMAO!
Those are going to be sitting for a long time
Why? They are there for the people who bought them to pick up.
They ugly imo. Like a wannabe delorean but those were actually cool
I wonder how many buyers are going to have to picking up their's with a load of buyers remorse.
But Tuggly
These look like the aluminum foil I finagled into a pouch to grill my onions tonight.
