Any other window would have broken as well, with much less force than was applied here. So not a fail for that.

Where it fails, for me, is looks.

It's just too weird and I don't expect it will sell very well. I could be wrong.

Yeah, the looks are... O_O

But Elon was touting how the windows were shatterproof, and they weren't.

I can't imagine being him at that moment when he realized his team had let him down while he was on stage. I can imagine the aftermath, though...

I would imagine there is an audience for this. Seems well suited to the jeep/offroad type markets.

Something I'd like to see is the crash testing. With the super rigid panels, the crumple engineering could be quite interesting. Maybe instead of crumpling, it just folds on the seams?

The truck/jeep/offroad people are into a certain, established, style and look. Some/many are more into the style/look than they are into the actual offroading or useing a truck as a truck.

Cybertruck doesn't fit the mold for the established style, I don't think they're going to go for it.

Imagine if Ford or GM introduced this monstrosity to the public, they would get torn to shreds by the public/media/press, and rightly so. But it's Elon, so folk will buy it just to stand out and be subject to a talking point, good or bad.

It's basically virtue signalling for the upper class, like vegans, who just have to tell everyone they are vegan.

Truck looks like it was dreamt up during one of his pot smoking episodes.

I know their boss likes to inhale 420.

I also know I had a friend that ordered one of the Tesla 3 and was promised delivery in 2 months and nothing almost a year later:

but he continued to wait patiently.

He finally cancel after he heard the news Tesla was going to reduce the number of welds per car so they can meet production demands and quotas to make the shareholders happy.

I saw the video on the news (sorry, Blastman). The guy chucked the steel ball fairly hard at the first window, but my son could throw harder at five years old than that guy did at the second and it STILL broke duh . Credit where it's due though, the sledge hammer to the door was impressive. I daresay that you won't find many, if any, commercially available vehicles that can take a hit like that.

Second, even if the Tesla is also RWD it's a safe bet there's a lot more weight on the driven wheels due to all that battery at the bottom of the vehicle...

Re: Tesla Cybertruck - 11/26/19 08:58 PM

Plus the fact the Low Poly-Count Truck was already rolling when the F150 started its wheels
Plus Ford has already called them out, so they could 'jump the line' and get one of the First Space trucks, so they could do a real test.

It's the First one, yeah it's not pretty, but it's just a concept. They chucked a steel ball at the side window and it didn't go all the way through, can an F-150 measure up? I think it's actually kinda cool, has any one seen the tailgate ramp?. I want to see a crash test it would probably cut though other vehicles like a cleaver.

Rematch!

Tesla Cybertruck becomes underdog in Ford F-150 tug-of-war challenge

[Linked Image]

In a strange turn of events, Tesla Cybertruck has become the underdog on the betting line in the Ford F-150 tug-of-war challenge rematch.

Gambling money is getting behind Ford.

Tesla Cybertruck vs. Ford F-150 Rematch

As we reported earlier this week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk agreed to redo the Cybertruck vs. Ford F-150 tug-of-war challenge after claims the first one wasn’t fair.
It appears that Tesla used a rear-wheel-drive version of the Ford F-150, and during a Twitter exchange with scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Musk agreed that it would be fairer if both trucks were loaded during the challenge.

Musk agreed to a rematch and even agreed to bring Ford onboard after an executive from the automaker, Sunny Madra, challenged Tesla to a fairer tug-of-war between the F-150 and the Cybertruck.

However, we later learned that Ford was backing out of the challenge and called the first one “absurd.”

Nonetheless, Tesla apparently plans to move forward with a rematch that would be fairer to the Ford F-150 pickup truck next week.

The rematch is gathering so much hype that the odds makers are starting to pay attention, and they are starting to take bets on the Tesla Cybertruck vs. Ford F150 rematch.

Tesla Cybertruck vs. Ford F-150 betting odds

Earlier this week, we reported on betting sites starting to take bets on the rematch, and the Tesla Cybertruck started as a strong favorite.
With money coming in, the odds change, and surprisingly, the Ford F-150 is now the favorite, and the Cybertruck is now the underdog.

MyBookie, one of the largest betting sites in the US, is now taking bets on Tesla Cybertruck at +110 and on the Ford F150 at -130:

[Linked Image]

It means that if you place a $100 bet on the Cybertruck, you win $110 ($210 total payout) if the electric pickup truck wins the tug-of-war rematch.

It looks like more money is being placed on the Ford F-150, which would pay out $76.92 (total $176.92) on a $100 bet if it beats the Cybertruck.

MyBookie is not new to taking strange bets, and especially bets involving Elon Musk. The website is currently also taking bets on which “organization is going to be the first to send humans to Mars” with the SpaceX being the strong favorite.

Electrek’s Take

That sounds crazy to me, especially since Ford backed off the challenge, raising questions about how serious the rematch will be.

Again, I am sure Tesla is going to try to make this one as fair as possible since they got caught not doing things by the book the first time around, but it’s still very unlikely to me that the Cybertruck doesn’t win.

To be fair, Tesla also gave itself a handicap the first time by going uphill.

Even loaded and with an AWD version of the F-150, I feel like the Cybertruck should be able to come out on top.

I guess we will know for sure next week, but it sounds like gamblers are getting behind Ford right now.
