Did anyone else notice the different sheen on the rear 1/3rd. I think they might still be messing with the bed area.

Perhaps the reflection, but Franz did say they had decided on the finish of the SS, maybe we have yet to see the final look.

This is my favorite so far. It is not new but was new to me.

That one's pretty good, too. Love seeing the four wheel steering in action. So tired of my turning radius. " Captain to Helm, full left rudder!"

This is a very flattering angle for the truck. However the glare confirms for me that I want to put a flat black wrap on mine. I live in south FL with about 300 days of sunshine per year. That glare is going to be brutal for oncoming traffic. Hopefully one of my neighbors will do it first so I can find out if its too hot here for that. Maybe Ill do flat white.
Really, you think that angle is flattering? To me it appears they simply guillotine'd the front of the truck to preserve truck bed length. Net result is a smaller frunk and that decidedly snub nose look.
I have to keep reminding myself, function over form. Maybe a slightly modified version of this is the answer ...

Did you notice the two mile deep dashboard? I think this thing will have a frunk the size of a mobster Caddy trunk. I think they did it to create aerodynamics, and avoid brick shape.

I think Tesla cut the overall length so the Cybertruck fits in the average American 2-car garage.

I like the stubby front end styling.

To sell in high volumes they need to keep the Cybertruck semi affordable. I think the bean counters overruled.

I predict 2mm for the doors, tailgate and quarter panels. 1mm or less for the fenders, valance and frunk hood to help achieve a ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ crash test rating.

I can already see that the football field length dashboard is going to be a bitch to clean😁

I hope that is the tradeoff. Cute dog photo inserted to change the subject. :)
