‘It looks like a hot pile of rusted garbage’: Onlookers slam snap of Tesla Cybertruck in the wild
>
A Tesla Cybertruck was spotted on the streets of California, sparking criticism from the public, who said it “looks like a hot pile of rusted trash.”
An image of the steel-clad vehicle surfaced online showing it stationary in a Fremont parking lot that looked nothing like the vehicle Elon Musk unveiled in 2019.
In addition to bizarre cords along the top, the Cybertruck also had different wheels and a front chassis that “looks like something a four-year-old made with Lego blocks.”
The futuristic truck — which is expected to start at $39,900 — has been spotted in the wild several times, but the 1.5 million people who pre-ordered one have yet to receive it.
These individuals only made a $100 deposit, but were promised delivery by the end of 2022 – but production will now begin this summer.

Telsa’s Cybertruck became a sensation when it was unveiled to the world in November 2019.
The celebrated event quickly became a nightmare for Musk after the glass of his new electric “Cybertruck” was smashed just after he boasted that it was “unbreakable.”
During the announcement of the truck – which looks like an armored vehicle with angular sides – Tesla design chief Franz von Holshausen tried to prove the glass was “unbreakable” by throwing a heavy metal ball at close range.
Musk was heard muttering “oh my f***ing God” as the glass smashed.
Some speculated that the hiccups might have been part of the show, but it didn’t stop people from reserving one for themselves.
The waiting list without reservation is at least three years from the delivery of the first Cybertruck.
Musk had promised production would begin in early 2021, but that date has been pushed back. And every year a new date is set and missed.
The CEO previously blamed battery issues for the delay, saying each Cybertruck would cost “literally a million dollars apiece or more” if Tesla had started production of the futuristic vehicle in 2021.
However, the latest sighting could mean that plans for the Cybertruck are moving forward, but the public is hoping that what was seen isn’t the final model.

Twitter users jumped at the chance to share their distaste for the truck, with one saying it looked like a hot pile of rusted trash
And while Elon Musk has said this is the future of trucks, Kathy said it’s the ugliest thing she’s ever seen
“The only way this could work for Musk is if he said ‘Just kidding!’ announces. and releases a reasonable-looking truck that has been secretly developed all along. Otherwise this will be a huge flop. It looks like bullshit,” Twitter user Hilson Valli tweeted.
Some likened it to “something turned down for a role in Mad Max: Fury Road” or the mega-weapon from the 1983 movie “Warrior of the Lost World.”
Gee, I admit most of the promo photos looked pretty bad*** but this side profile is ugly. The stainless steel becomes a mess from scratches and finger smudges,” one user tweeted.

Another user is convinced that the Cybertruck is a joke and that a real version of the truck will be revealed to the world
The wiring along the top and doors of the Cybertruck has baffled viewers, with some saying the truck comes “pre-strung with Christmas lights.”
However, others suggest that the cords are connected sensors that can be used for testing.
The latest update on the Cybertruck was shared during Tesla’s first Investor Day, held on March 1.
Tesla chief designer Franz von Holzhausen confirmed the truck is “coming this year,” but those were just details about the futuristic vehicle.
