While I appreciate a certain amount of anonymity in my personal life and shy away from items that tend to make my vehicle stand out, such as bumper stickers and personalized plates. With the CT that will be a bit futile for the foreseeable future, so why not get a "vanity" plate?

In Virginia, my first choice CYBRTRK was already taken, I have tried CBYRTRK (bothered my OCD), and ELECTRK (everyone asked why I was voting for RK), currently have CBRTRKN, but I kind of like the NZ winter test vehicle's adopted moniker, CYBRUTE.

So, what do others think? CYBRUTE (Shown on mountain to seashore plate), or CBRTRKN?
Open to other suggestions, too.... but quite a few are already taken.

I like CBRTRKN better. I think more people would understand that one.

*buys a Cybertruck*


:ROFLMAO:
In a couple years, having a Cybertruck will be like a master spy drifting into a crowd and disappearing like a puff of smoke on a breezy day.

On day one though, it will be, the most identifying vehicle in town. Don't try to do ANYTHING you don't want everyone in a 3 city radius to know about.

I love the CyberTruck design

I collect 1970s Italian modern furniture, and I have a side hustle advising modern furniture design companies (largely in business matters, but the designers humor me to weigh in on design topics because I know my history and have an impressive collection)

I love the CyberTruck design, and like all strong design, it will become very dated-looking after a few years … until another 30-40 years passes and the dated-ness comes back around and becomes the attraction again

to that point: the CyberTruck is an almost entirely late 1960’s to early 1970’s automobile design language

strong design is a double-edged award: the gravity of its initial impressiveness soon becomes the gravity of it’s outdated-ness

Sadly, imho, all electric vehicles will be dated within a decade or two.. as battery tech advances and the ranges either double or the weight halfs depending on what the manufacturer wants to do with it.

Even more dated will be cars you have to fill with gasoline or diesel and that you have to "start'.

It won't even be quaint because, by then, the global weather problems will be so obvious it will only be a few angry and stubborn old men claiming it's all natural and normal climate variation.

In a decade or two I won't care.

The car community will still prefer that method over EVs for plethora of reasons, and one of them is Porsche creating synthetic fuel that emits zero-emissions. You still have to “fill” an EV at stations if you do go longer distances. Just keep that in mind when you call filling up gasoline or diesel is even more dated, while you are filling up the battery more than 5 minutes at a charge station.

I don't think the term the "car community" means what you think it means!

Tesla is going after new car buyers in order to transition the world to sustainable energy as quickly as possible. The "car community" in light of this mission, are millions of people who buy new cars every year.

Elon's not coming after car collectors, people who like to play with old cars can do what they want. I look at it this: way: Some people still play around with horse-drawn carriages, but most people don't use horses to go shopping or get to work. Unless you think the Amish are on the leading edge of modern trends. ?

Oh, and if you think synthetic fuels have zero emissions then I suggest you go back and brush up on chemistry and take a class on how to avoid being taken for a ride. You sound like you're 18 years old and have never been out in the world.

You sound like an angry old man, but you're never at the meetings.

I'm sure he meant "carbon-neutral" and not "zero emissions", since eFuel is made from CO2.

That won't have zero emissions. Not even net-zero. Nor carbon neutral.

The car community is about to be split between grognards who complain about 'the old days' and actual tuners who want performance. EV will beat petrol, repeatedly.

How Is eFuel not carbon-neutral?
