I generally agree with Matt Farah on automotive things he likes. I also agree with him on automotive things he hates.
I'm waiting for the time when America collectively stands back, looks at the Cybertruck, and all agree this vehicle truly is awful. Faith restored.
I don't think he's wrong in his review. I think the Cybertruck is like a Corvette: it's not a car designed to be practical, it's a car designed to be loved by its target audience. It's an answer to a problem that doesn't exist. It's weird, it's something different, and it's cool in it's own way. My neighbor has a Corvette: it's small inside, it's hard to get into, and it scrapes on our shared entry driveway because it's so low to the ground. And yet, he doesn't care about ANY of that, because he's an enthusiast & he just plain likes it! Like Matt said, more power to you if you're into it!
I still remember my original take on it from 5 years ago, when it was revealed:
Nov 21, 2019:
I got used to the weirdness of the design over time, although I didn't like some of the changes they had to do to get it into production. But like I said earlier, I was interested in a 500-mile battery version, and it fell short in both range & price expectations. $116,000 for a 470-mile range with a battery backpack that eats up 1/3 of the trunk space is...disappointing.
