I'm pleasantly surprised by this thread, as a veteran of Jeep forums on the internet (and on USENET) since the 90's there is typically little tolerance for anything new from the hardcore Jeep crowd. How things have changed. This is great IMHO. Didn't even see that much bitching about the lack of solid axles!
But heck, just to add my opinion in, as a former owner of two Teslas (Model S in 2013 and Model X in 2016), I have to say the Teslas are getting uglier and uglier. The Model X I sold earlier this year was by far the worst vehicle I ever had the misfortune of owning. I had even signed up for the 3 but after my experience with terrible quality in both the S and the X, and the constantly deteriorating customer service, I canceled and got my deposit back. This Cybertruck is the fugliest Tesla yet.
That said, my first few months of ownership of my Model S in 2013 (which was at that time the top of the line P85+) was by far my most enjoyable new car ever, that was before it started to have all kinds of issues. My current Gladiator Rubicon is actually my second most enjoyable new vehicle of all time, so that is saying something. So I certainly applaud those who are willing to take the risk on this most laughable, absurd and grotesque snakeoil offering from Elon, but I am going to settle on a different electric truck in the future. As I did with electric SUVs: I currently own a fabulously reliable and luxurious (albeit boring) Audi e-tron, and have signed on for the Porsche Taycan. My days of throwing money away in Elon's direction are long gone. But I love the polarizing nature of it, and it can only lead to better electric truck offerings from real manufacturers.
