Cybertruck design flaws

I remember the first time I saw the Tesla Cybertruck—how could anyone forget? It looked like something straight out of a dystopian future, and I was intrigued. Fast forward to today, and it turns out that not everything futuristic is as cool as it seems. For those who were bold (or brave) enough to buy one, the reality of owning a Cybertruck has been, let’s just say, less than stellar. From bizarre design choices to downright impractical features, these Cybertruck owners are now sharing their tales of buyer’s remorse. And honestly, it’s enough to make you thankful for your boring, reliable sedan.

The allure of the Cybertruck was undeniable—who wouldn’t want to drive around in a vehicle that looks like it could survive the apocalypse? But as the novelty wore off, the flaws began to show, and owners were left questioning their life choices. This photo collection captures the essence of that regret, with images highlighting some of the most glaring design flaws that have left Cybertruck owners shaking their heads. From the cumbersome size to the confusing controls, these photos reveal a reality that’s far from the futuristic dream Tesla promised. It's a reminder that sometimes, innovation can go a little too far.

What exactly is it about the Cybertruck that makes them so I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm sure they are. They look like that car Homer Simpson got to design.
But since I've never even seen one in real life, I have no idea if they really are or not, or it's just people hating on it because of Musk. Those that have driven one or own one, what are the aspects that make them, and do they have any redeeming features?

Along those lines, the door has also cut people's fingers off
There's a video on tik tok where a guy peels off the metal paneling, the paneling was just glued on. The same guy uses the cyber truck to pull another truck only to have the cyber trucks frame to snap. So yeah, design and build
Crazy. How many cybertrucks do you think are on the road without insurance coverage? I just found an article online about insurers asking for 5k/year for the cybertruck, lol
Someone in my neighborhood has one, and it looks ridiculous. It looks like a futuristic car that a six year old would draw.
2nd this. I can see how these would be a stylish way to get around the desert wastelands after the apocalypse but they appear utterly absurd at the middle school drop off.
They can't even handle potholes or a little water, idk how they'd handle the apocalypse. They're not a ford taurus
I don't know how it wasn't a bait and switch at this point. It should open them up to lawsuits for full replacement. They aren't really safe for anyone specifically, driver or pedestrian.
Style aside, how they got on the road in such an uninsurable state is beyond me. An entire continent said no to the things. Reasonably SO.
This is what happens when an over-rich man-child who surrounds himself with yes-men and throws tantrums if he doesn't get his own way is put in charge of an organisation: stupid things get done, because no one says, 'No'.
I'm imagining Muskrat in the design meeting for a normalish vehicle like, "Hmm, I like the shape, but can we go...more angular? ...no, more. ...yeah, more. ....Here, let me show you." [draws kids' version of a carl
The biggest recall was because the rubber slip cover on the gas pedal could slide off and get stuck.
They're a hideous and poorly built car that was rushed through production so they're also basically useless apart from going fast in a straight line. If they'd been subjected

As you flipped through these images, you likely found yourself cringing at the sheer impracticality of some of the Cybertruck’s design choices. You saw photos that exposed the vehicle’s oversized bulk, awkward angles, and bafflingly complex controls. By the end, you couldn’t help but sympathize with these owners who are now stuck with a truck that’s more form than function—a harsh reality that’s become all too clear after the honeymoon phase wore off.
