Came across this today on my YouTube feed. I was really surprised to see how similar the shape is to the Cybertruck. He also makes a point that this existed before the Cybertruck. I wonder just how original Elon and Franz were when they thought up the bladerunner-esque truck shape?!

They are generic triangular and trapezoid shapes that cover many things in the world. I think you are reading way to much into the uniqueness of the shapes.

That front edge is perfect for chopping pedestrians.

That design actually looks like a speed boat to me.

I’m glad it only does 30 or so. Much more than that and the front end is going to get VERY light and hard to control. At freeway speeds, the front tires may or may not be in contact with the road! ?

I would say the cybertruck design isn't original at all. They had a picture of the F-117A and a Zumwalt class destroyer in the presentation slides at the reveal.

That’s why I’m thinking a matte black wrap. Add some USAF light gray markings and a refueling port on the frunk, and I’m good to go!

I like the matte black wrap idea. Four years ago, Elon said "sure" when someone requested a matte black option. Of course, I got my hopes up and took it as gospel. I guess the wrap will have to do. :(
