Shame it doesn't have a bench seat up front. That's the retro-futurist vibe I was hoping for

Still a success in the history of automobile design. Lambo-level arrogance at 10x the scale

Practically speaking, if you need to haul sod or tow your boat to the lake an hour away, it's going to be very competitive on the used market once a million units are on the road

Yeah, the cybertruck is like a new dress shown in a fashion show. Perhaps a little too avant-garde for regular folks to wear/drive, but it pushes the envelope of what is considered normal and opens the way for others to try other innovative designs and materials. Sooner or later, the idea first showcased in Paris trickles down to H&M.

Even run-of-the-mill sedans and SUVs are looking more futuristic these days, and I like the trend. :)

If a million units are on the road.

An unconventional design must dominate the market, and quickly so. Otherwise it just slowly settles into the position of a niche product that's expensive to fix.

It's cool to be the first mover that inspires a whole new generation of automotive design, like I said above, but being cool is not necessarily profitable.

cybertruck is the google-glass of automobile market.

It might be 'innovative' but you still look like an ass in it

Nah. It's the Delorian of trucks. It's betamax. There will be a small cult following but it's ugly as sin and fails as a truck.

…at some point…maybe…
