Who Else is Hoping for a Redesign for Wife's Acceptance?

[Bob Anderson]

I currently have the CT preordered because the specs are too good to pass up. Price, range, stainless steel body, large interior to travel w/ family, camping, autopilot, and Supercharger network all considered obvious pros. However, I am waiting to see a hopefully less hideous design (if this triggers you please go bark up another tree) before I'd actually commit to buying. And yes, I understand the functionality of the straight line bends of the stainless to reduce cost, as well as the cybertruck aesthetic. When I say "redesign" I am well aware this thing won't ever look like a traditional truck, but here's the deal......There is no way my wife would ever let us get one w/ the current look. Doesn't matter how good the specs are, this will be sitting in our driveway and neither of us would want such a hideous design being promenaded in front of our neighbors. And yes, I get that no matter what having an unpainted stainless steel body will always get attention.

I am looking forward to the CT update coming next quarter. 3% smaller size, flatter side angle, mirrors?, windshield wiper?. I would like to see what the actual rims look like (not with the hubcaps). I really hope there is an extra bend in the tailgate (or a complete redesign), man that tailgate looks bad. I do think some minor changes could make it much palatable.

Is there anyone else who feels the same way or am I not as a loyal fanboy as the rest of the group?

Wife thinks the CT is ugly but doesn't care if i get it. She knows what a Tesla CT is. Function over Form.

"Wife's Acceptance"?? Ditch the skirt and put on your pants boys.

 

[Jhodgesatmb]

I am a little surprised that the question is even being asked. We are all fanboys (fanpersons?) here.

I don't care what my husband thinks, I already told him I am buying one lol

(yeah you read that right)

I am man of the house
and
I have my permission to say so

She is not a fan of CT look at all (“it looks like a stink bug”) but she has not seen me this excited about any car in a very long time. She knows the reservation numbers and the fact that there is no factory yet. She knows she is safe and me spending all this time on line and leaving her alone to shop for properties, campers and F150s is a bonus.

My wife thinks the look is fantastic, and my to my surprise has also insisted that we buy the Cyberquad. It was _me_ that was dumb enough to sleep on it before putting in a reservation, after the reveal.

 

[SSonnentag]

My wife loves the Cybertruck.

My wife hated the look but when she started talking to her friends about me getting the truck and everybody wanted her to take them for a ride in it she really started to warm up to it.

Haha! Love how everyone says grow a pair, like it's ever a good idea to spend $50k w/out wife's knowledge or approval.
