CEO Elon Musk on Thursday unveiled the long-awaited Tesla Cybertruck at a live event at its Gigafactory in Austin, Texas.

The futuristic-looking Cybertruck is the first electric vehicle Tesla offers that isn’t a sedan and marks the company’s entry into the growing EV pickup market, joining rivals like Ford and Rivian. One advantage Elon Musk promises the Cybertruck has over the competition? It's bulletproof.

And discussing bulletproof, I think he was really ready to say something about being able to drive in LA or Philly.

I saw my first one a couple days ago between Kerrville and Fredericksburg.
A really different angular look.

My son has been seeing a test Cybertruck with Texas plates quite a bit the last few months in Silicon Valley. It's the ugliest vehicle he and I have ever seen. He took this pic last Saturday afternoon.

The door skins are 3mm thick and weigh 60 pounds.

That’s the thickness of a frame rail in a 3/4 ton pickup. For a door skin.

This is a totally stupid vehicle.

Oh well, if it will stop some feral's bullet, good enough for me.

That’s just the door skin. Then there is the internal structure of the door which is typically 1.5 times the weight of the skin.

And that is just the metal. not the window or the electric junk.

Ok the doors are bullet proof. Just don’t shoot at the windows. They are not bullet proof. Although I think they stop most bullets with one or two shots. They will give in if they were shot like the video shows.

Where is the truck part? It looks like a cartoon drawing from a 3rd grader who used a ruler to draw a vehicle. Where does the dog sit while you are tooling down the highway?

Can't wait to see somebody borrow that thing to move a mattress or a couch or a washer/dryer combo.

A few years ago, I was sure that Lucid Motors would be Tesla’s biggest competitor... and my first video player was a Betamax
