The same themes keep on coming back, like a, ah yes, well you get the reference. All of the concepts mentioned such as the Marzal, Boomerang, Esprit (that actually reached production) and even stuff like the MB C-111 and the Dome Zero, they all looked MUCH more production ready than this truck does. That is actually apt for this truck. *Must Take Stock From Available Inventory* At Tesla, Joe Public is Tesla’s customer. I for one would be totally stoked to buy a $40-50K pickup truck that is five inches short on rear seat head room because it is entirely made of triangles and planes. One of the great geniuses of car design, Giorgetto Giugiaro, has announced his retirement after selling the remaining stake in his Italdesign Giugiaro styling house to Audi. The couple eventually loaded the car onto a flatbed truck and hauled it home. Took few seconds to grasp the reality! He admitted on Twitter — where else? As any spy-loving cinephile knows, in the film, the retrofitted Esprit is jettisoned off a dock and turns into a submarine, which can fire missiles. I wouldn’t even call it a truck, but more of a Coupe Utility, like the X6, Q8, GLE Coupe, and the dearly departed Acura ZDX. Day by day, I feel ever more like I am living in the future and this truck just pushed that feeling ahead by about a decade. EV-1 dead, Volt dead, ELR dead, Sonic EV (was it ever alive to begin with? ... in late 2019, Elon Musk introduced the Tesla Cybertruck, which made a lot of people think of the DMC-12. The Cybertruck is a pickup with a "vault" instead of a bed. The first and potentially the most akin to Tesla’s Cybertruck is the Maserati Boomerang, designed by the iconic Giorgetto Giugiaro. Leo Morena; 03/01/2021; Some people compared the Tesla Cybertruck to Giorgetto Giugiaro’s “folded paper” design era in the 1970s, while others said it. It was the car featured in the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me. Musk mostly took it in stride, except for dropping an F bomb. 2. A few things are for sure here I can’t say I love the styling but I don’t hate it, I’m realizing that new cars may eventually look like this someday and we’ll just have to accept it. Initially it was intended to just be a static model, because well, just look at it. The cybertruck I’m not sure will be a game changer, but it is far more exciting than what I expected based on Tesla’s styling up to now. One was cut in half so both Roger Moore and Barbara Bach could be filmed in their respective seats. And disliking the design does not make you a “get off my lawn” type. I spend a lot of time specifying and selecting the trucks we buy for efficiency in their use case, and constantly try to improve on situation on that front. 5. BTW, that Bollinger is a dead ringer for the old Land Rover shape right down to the angled rear shut-line of the rear doors. So folks who care about that sort of thing may well be attracted to the Cybertruck, along with some of the other EV trucks coming. I believe Tesla will do just fine with or without the cybertruck, but if it’s mission was to shake this segment the way the Model S and 3 shook the luxury and sedan segments, I think we will have to wait and see. But here goes: I was parked at the curb in my xB, right next to the University of Oregon campus. Another shattered pane. Petrolicious is a leading automotive lifestyle brand providing world class short films and tasteful editorial around the world’s finest classic vehicles. I like to look at nice things and this thing does not qualify. But then Tesla did just build a complete functioning factory in China in under a year, a timetable that was roundly laughed at when announced. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. The Cybertruck needs a wind-cheating form to foster battery range, ... Gordon Murray, Peter Stevens, and Giorgetto Giugiaro—voted the DS the most beautiful car of all time. JeffK November 22, 2019 11:21 PM Where I camp, I want hard sides or nothing but a sleeping bag. It took me about 30 seconds after it was first revealed last night to get over my incredulity, and then realize I was witnessing something highly extraordinary. And a lot of other once-shocking cars. The question for Ford is now, can it repeat history one more time and can its offerings be considered good enough in the marketplace to sell without heavy incentives and bolster profit? I currently drive a Kia Soul EV. Musk has said that Giorgetto Giugiaro’s design served as inspiration for Tesla’s recently unveiled Cybertruck, which has a similar geometric design. As for pricing, either the 2wd model will get quietly dropped, making it a $50K price, and/or Tesla is banking on their in-house battery manufacturing cost continuing to drop. Kudos. We may see 70s Italian concept revivals, but others might see CitiCar…. This comparison shows just how shockingly cheap Tesla is pricing the Cybertruck. Just as Trump is the badboy, “outsider” politician who polarizes people, the Cybertruck is the badboy pickup from the outsider car company. Tesla currently produces a very expensive luxury liftback sedan, an even more expensive weird looking liftback SUV that’s overly complex, a right-sized sedan when supposedly nobody is buying sedans but people flock to the M3 although it could be a liftback and thus more practical without changing the shape…, and soon a liftbackish small CUV. Your email address will not be published. If you want to read more of the history of Giorgetto Giugiaro’s 1971 concept that led to the production Esprit, I happened to find one on the streets of Eugene and wrote it up here. Tesla is fully committed to electric vehicles and are swimming in the “deep end” with their technology. As they drove, they were bombarded by a barrage of truck drivers commenting on the curious car over CB radio. Postmates is reportedly looking for a buyer — and WeWork's IPO collapse could be the reason I’m a car designer by trade and so want to like this…. But look at how the Aztek has become an object of endearment. But it would take a mid-range Rivian with the optional 135kWh pack to roughly equal the two-motor Cybertruck. Despite its apparent boxiness, I would be surprised if it isn’t significantly slipperier than the current production pickups, with that integral bed covering being a key aspect to that. And Tesla stock dropped 6% overnight. On the styling, let’s just say that Rivian and Ford must be very happy about it. Join us for a trip into a world where curves are out, ... More Giorgetto Giugiaro genius. It needs mirrors. Moderators, please check the comment delete function. It does make everything else look outmoded, and, especially with the history of notable 70’s cars presented, is not nearly as radical as one might initially think. Maybe this is a fashion that will come around again, but maybe not. Plenty of fruit. Learn how your comment data is processed. Half the M3 buyers are coming from Civics and Priuses. — that the Esprit's Giorgetto Giugiaro-penned lines partly influenced the Cybertruck introduced in late 2019. That’s already the case. Bob Lutz called the Aztek an “angry appliance,” he’d be spot on again with the Cybertruck. Bulletproof windows? But then I might be dreaming…. See Ford Raptor with its layering of bolt-ones to make the whole shape appear even more encrusted and less clean. We own a business, we live out of town on a large piece of land that is continuously being molded into what we want, and we have hobbies that require trailers and travel. Will it sell? (It doesn't have wheels and can't functionally drive.) You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. As in, it is totally believable that Rick Deckard would have driven this in either of the movies. It was clearly inspired by the Tesla Semi (which we’re still waiting for), and not to be taken too literally. Popular Mechanics participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commissions on editorially chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites. In all my many years, never has anyone put something so uncompromising into production, and as a truck, no less. This will never take the place of traditional pickup trucks. Most Popular. But who would have thought it would be $10k under that? There’s a feeling of forced cheer, too, about the positive comments by people, almost as if anyone who dares to not like this design is some kind of fuddydud. But the the design is so amateurish, unfinished. But the technology just wasn’t able to make electric vehicles as robust as their gas counter-parts for more than a century, until now. Can quality become job #1 again? And his $70k Raptor almost certainly will never be despoiled in any dirt. The Cybertruck will be the new luxury vehicle status symbol. They can afford to short Tesla stock indefinitely in an attempt to stifle them. I would like to add, where does it say that a car company can only have one truck? Aack!!! For a truck this big the wheels still seem to be too small although they probably are 20″ +. 2. And vice versa. 2b. If the style sucks, it doesn’t matter if it trumps its competitors in the numbers game. Love him or hate him, the automotive world is profoundly richer thanks to his endless appetite for risk and his ability to make his dreams come true. I’m shocked, first by the styling and then by the pricing. The concept comes from a company run by Giorgetto Giugiaro. The second biggest shocker of the evening was when the pricing was announced. He’d be a perfect candidate for a Cybertruck. But, Maserati decided the response was so positive, the car deserved to live. It won’t be for everyone, but the specs and price make it impressive, and my sense is that in real life it will be a stunning object. During the underwater sequences, which were filmed in the Bahamas, a retired U.S. Navy Seal decked in full scuba gear was tasked with driving the so-called "wet submarine," according to Sotheby’s. It’s not that hard of a concept. It should do well. One wonders if the price will hold. He had worked on numerous cars, from the fancy cars like Ferraris, Maseratis to the humble VWs. Put me in the love (ok, like) column. Or dream-like. The Rivian does have four motors, which allows power to be vectored to each wheel individually. Most of them were positive although some were a little more hesitant than others. Musk is the kid that we’re all jealous of, because he’s getting to realize his toys (and doodlings) in full-size scale and turn his dreams of space travel into reality. Bottom line: How many Tesla fanbois will buy one of these vehicles? More refined surfaces, a taller more forward set cab and a more creative and usable bed instead of rehashing sail panels like Brubaker or Honda. And if Tesla can keep the price point for the base model at $39k they will undoubtedly have a few converts from Ford, GM, and Ram. The Cybertruck can easily be accused of being a step back to electric vehicles of yore who don’t appreciate the design inspiration and fun the way we do. This pickup intrigues me mightily in a number of ways. The design is too crude, the stats too good, and the price low to be taken seriously. Pretty sure that’s a fake picture. Headroom in the back seat looks marginal and if it’s not then the front seat has enough room for the Coneheads which is totally unnecessary. Not including employees (one of which drives 120 miles a day minimum) my wife and I cover the better part of 100k miles a year, all in trucks. The anonymous couple had no idea what they had purchased—neither had seen a Bond flick before—so they sought the expertise of Ian Fleming Foundation founder Doug Redenius, who later authenticated the vehicle. I’m 100% on board with the looks and the unibody design. There are many interesting ideas in this vehicle as well as some (like the windscreen angle) that look problematic. And I have recurring vivid dreams about wild and bizarre cars that can fly, among other things. Giorgetto Giugiaro, who penned the Giulia Sprint GT for Alfa Romeo while working for Bertone, left at the end of the decade to found his own company, Italdesign. I cannot imagine in my wildest dreams a farmer who lives somewhere in the Midwest ever buying one of these. I like it. Like many others watching the reveal I wondered at times if we were being trolled (especially after the glass debacle), and that the real Cybertruck would then be rolled out. I feel like Tesla is a one idea company and apart from their revolutionary motor technology they have been muddling through from one stunt to another. He did drop a lot of hints in more recent months, saying it was inspired by Blade Runner and armored troop carriers, among other things. In the mid-1970s, he teamed up with Giorgetto Giugiaro, a brilliant Italian designer who had masterminded James Bond’s “underwater” car in The Spy Who Loved Me, wanting an automobile with a futuristic feel. Is the brand still that desirable? Well if so it didn’t work, TSLA was down 6% today. That weird object sitting forlornly on the stage with two broken windows seemed to have ‘disaster’ written all over it. The other conversation we will have is about the stainless steel bodywork. I’m on the same wavelength as Paul regarding Tesla? The Boomerang was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and revealed at the 1971 Turin motor show. Next Post. The boomerang was of course a concept car, released in 1971, but really started the trend for this future forward shape. The Futuristic 100-Knot Superboat That Never Was. This however, would be a game changer for us. There’s others, undoubtedly. I initially (scroll up) thought it reminded me of the DeLorean-based time machine in the “Back to the Future” movies, but on further thought: I see your Moon Partol and raise you this: Yeah, but mine’s got nifty 8-bit theme music that certainly isn’t repetitive just because it has only four phrases! My only other observation is that photo with the tent in the bed brought the Aztek and it’s tent option smack forward in my mind and I think that’s what this is at least partially, a reimagining of the original concept by Pontiac as a capable, rugged and distinctive lifestyle vehicle. The other thing that went through my head last night was, “wasn’t a key aspect to Tesla’s success making a viable EV that wasn’t weird or goofy looking, like every EV prior had deliberately been? Good points. Unless Elon Musk has just pulled an early April Fool’s stunt, the Cybertruck is for real, to be available in late 2021, although I wouldn’t bet on that date, given how optimistic Musk’s timetables tend to be. Very rarely does a vehicle *I* like become favored by the masses. The video went viral and it got people worldwide to talk about this monstrosity, or whatever it’s supposed to be. See the highly anticipatory 1994 Ram with its separate fenders mimicking the semi-trailer cab design. The DeLorean sold for $25,000 and couldn't drive itself. Curbside Newsstand: GM Planning A Corvette EV Crossover – Sound Familiar? The Isuzu Vehicross also comes to mind just for the interesting styling and rugged mechanicals. This morning Tesla announced that there will a solar panel option, which will add up to 15 miles of range, and that there might even be extendable panels that could add up to 30 miles or more. Rivian’s RT1 EV pickup has a base price of $69,000. Now all the pickups have that ‘big truck’ vibe. When the first iPod was launched in 2001, there was a moment of perplexity before the love poured in. I hear the body panels are super thick since they are so flat. Tesla bros are going to either love the Cybertruck from day one, or they’ll get used to it. Given me a good old internal combustion engine any day. They’re a thing, now, and a mighty hot one at that. My first thought this morning after I awoke so abruptly was this: did I dream the Tesla Cybertruck reveal last night? First Pony Car – Ford Mustang I wonder if it will show up in a speed trap? Watch Musk, Leno Test Drive the Tesla Cybertruck. I would have had more praise for something designed to be efficient than something designed to grab eyeballs. The answer to the first question is: it depends. All the flat surfaces remind me of the radar-evading design of stealth aircraft. Bollinger looks cool too, likely to more people than this does, and has some very practical features (that whole body passthrough for example). A certain percentage of rich folks like to be out in front with the latest toys, and this would certainly qualify! The future is always ahead. So why not try something radical and aim it toward existing Tesla customers looking for slightly more utility similar to Honda’s Ridgeline philosophy? Lower this concept and it works better that way instead of a “pickup”. Very well done and welcome back Paul. Looks like a reject from a very early 3D video game where everything had to be super blocky and unshaded for the CPU to handle. The Lotus Esprit S1 inspired Tesla's new Cybertruck. I don’t get the price. But, while I find the Tesla S simply gorgeous, this truck is more hideous than their Model X SUV. So much pollution is generated by trucks, and there is such a need for an efficient alternative, that if they had introduced something that was merely 5 steps ahead instead of 17, people would have been storming the gates for one. And unfortunately once this is available in my neck of the woods, my nightmare of the tattooed toughs and other dubious types cruising around will be a reality. But the Cybertruck and the DeLorean are also quite different. Time for the car companies to ditch the monkeys with computers and hire some real car designers, if any still exist. I saw the reveal last night, even with the broken glass (Which I expected, bulletproof glass isn’t like the movies) I found it night and day in terms of excitement to the Mustang Mocky reveal on Sunday, which is basically a 10 year old Infiniti FX BEV with a Mustang badge, just completely predictable and nothing more than a Tesla imitator. Why Hasn't Elon Musk Made an Aircraft Yet? Public would rather save the money and Tesla doesn’t need more costs. First World Class Front Wheel Drive Family Sedan – Ford Taurus. 2. The Model 3 sells worldwide because it works sizewise. FWIW, the polarizing 1994 Ram was the second generation. Before anyone starts in on that “real trucks” have separate frames, please note that a unibody can easily be stronger than BOF, it just limits the flexibility of different body configurations. First Mass Produced V8 – Model 18 Talk about polarizing! I agree with Paul’s assessment regarding Tesla’s Pick-Up. This content is imported from YouTube. Tesla’s Cybertruck: Did I Just Dream That? +1 Reminds me of the cockpit of a stealth jet. But perhaps that is the intention. The mid 60s to the mid 70s was my favorite period of car design, when design was last left purely to imagination and free from aerodynamic, safety and marketplace realities, and this looks like a concept straight from it. Did I imagine in my wildest dreams in 1971 that the Boomerang would inspire an electric pickup in 2019? The “aero” excuse is overblown, it just doesn’t figure into most people’s calculations and Tesla is arguably the most able to absorb a little efficiency hit of anyone out there based on their battery tech and charging infrastructure. It is true that the growth of truck and SUV sales are now overshadowing the emission savings of EVs and hybrids. Its skin durability was put to the test when von Holzhausen put to the test with a sledgehammer against its door. They were asked to “envision the cars of 2001.” Brubaker’s was chosen as the main one. Reminds me of a DeLorean that accidentally went through the dryer. When I saw the pic (and before I read the article) I thought it was an autonomous vehicle, and the stark body planes and high ground clearance would be to minimize harm to the pedestrians it would inevitably hit. It looks like a cartoon to me, and not in a good way. GFG Style Kangaroo – $120,000 With a 90kwh battery pack, the GFG Style Kangaroo aims to reach 279 miles from one … More Giorgetto Giugiaro genius. The Tesla faithful might come around, but defending the design is one thing, buying it is another. American Brands: AMC, Jeep and All Others, Tractors, Lawn Mowers, Off-Road Equipment. Price – well, let’s see if they can deliver that. In the mean time, Tesla has a chance to gauge the market to see if it is interested in a more traditional electric pick-up for its next design. It worked, partly because it was actually highly intuitive and because it was also such a beautifully conceived object. That’s perhaps the insanest thing yet about this reveal. Who knows. The bed has essentially no access from the sides. I’ve never been shot at in my ride, Joe Q. I’m not sure how common my use case is, but to me, this is looking pretty amazing. The specs are good. Required fields are marked *. That costs more money. He also detailed his plans to swap in an electric powertrain and actually turn it into a submarine. Oh, one more thing… as far as design inspirations, the Brubaker Pickup design from 1978 is a dead ringer for this thing at least as far as the back half is concerned. Who cares, its too late for Biggie and Tupac already. PS I’m a form follows function kind of guy with an engineering background. Their discovery eventually caught the attention of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who grew up watching the films. Currently my family has a gigantic carbon footprint (and fuel bill). Yes, the base version, with single-motor RWD, 250+ mile range, and a 6.5 second 0-60 time is priced at a jaw-dropping $39,900. But I’m a weirdo who tends to embrace “love it or hate it” designs, I tend to not be on the same wavelength as the masses that determine what’s successful and what’s not. The vehicle was shipped to Florida-based Perry Oceanographic, where it was retrofitted with ballast tanks, four propellers, water-tight batteries and, of course, its famous fins. This is also most as much of a wank for Musk as his launching of his personal Tesla Roadster into space. Amazingly, all of them are drastically more conservative than the real thing. It runs a 2.8-liter V6 engine with 145hp, developed by Renault, Peugeot and Volvo. I can’t wait for the inevitable Rivian vs. Tesla comparison tests. As for me, I’m just blown away. If not , that’s another problem. At the same time capture the purchasing public that grew up playing Star Fox video game and watching Star Wars movies and wants a real live version of those types of vehicles that captured our youthful imaginations.

I saw the exact same one on a car forum today, yet Google reverse image search comes up with nothing. Just too dangerous without a proper view out. A nice day for the short sellers. Copyright 2011 - 2021 Curbside Classics. But these were just that: dream cars, to keep us salivating for the next production car, even if they almost invariably didn’t live up to the concept. More on specs and pricing later. The submersible Esprit was also equipped with a rear-facing prismatic mirror that had been plucked from an Army tank. Living in the Midwest, with a lot of scheduled gray days, fairly hard winters, a lack of solar contractors, and price are still roadblocks 20 years later. Folks will get used to it, mostly, eventually. It’s real. That’s probably going to be priced at about $80k. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and son Fabrizio, the concept car is a two-seat electric SUV with three suspension modes — racing, road, and off-road. To me this is everything that the Tesla SUV is not – unsubtle, unbeautiful and ill-advised. What a comprehensive article, Paul! A trail of air bubbles seen streaming from the vehicle was created by a supply of Alka-seltzer tablets. I think Tesla understands that it is never going to crack the FoCheRam market – that one is too entrenched and conservative to go for something like this. And if something’s ugly I don’t buy it, however modern and/or technologically advanced it may be, and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in that. They could have built something that looked like the Rivian or the GM and Ford trucks in development but I’m glad they didn’t. Most of the commenters either hated it or thought Musk was trolling them. Rivian is physically smaller, hence a larger worldwide market. Another oddity of Giorgetto Giugiaro’s is the car in the film back to the future. Someone had a close look at the 1980 Citröen Karin, methinks. Penthouse contacted some of the most celebrated car designers of the time: Giorgetto Giugiaro, Bill Mitchell, William Towns, Albrecht Goertz, Dick Teague, and Curtis Brubaker – Curt, for short. However, I have had GM and Mopar eras in my life. I mean, they had to have tested for that, no? Tesla even released this rendering of one hauling an F150 at an earlier event. I’m a fairly recent convert to YouTube (Netflix be damned), and many Tesla & new tech channels were there (Teslanomics, Everyday Astronaut, Now You Know, Sean Mitchell, Marques Brownlee), some of them excitedly talking to each other.
