This morning’s big news: The Tesla Cybertruck has been revealed and, well, it’s something to discuss. Angles. So many angles.

Zero to 60 in less than 3 seconds!

And it's bulletproof. Kinda.

We’ve been talking about this one since the summer, but it’s never too late to join the conversation.

Does it have real door handles, or will it trap you and burn you to death?

Door handles would interfere with the aesthetics and increase aerodynamic drag.  The vehicle's AI will use a facial recognition algorithm and then decide whether or not it's in the mood to let you in and go for a drive. 

Edit:  Oh, you mean to get out!  cheeky

Like the guy who roasted to death in his Corvette one hot Texas day? Kinda important to know where those manual releases are.

That thing looks like it was designed by someone who just learned to use their solid modeling software 10 minutes ago.

once again Hess goes right for it.   The electric door handles on these things scare the hell out of me.

I've seen LEGO with more curves. Jesus Christ.

It looks like it got stolen off the studio lot that brought you Total Recall, but well after that one was released and that after a long financial slide is currently attempting to survive on the bottom end Z grade crap that the SyFy channel puts out exclusively on the 3 AM timeslot.

I think it was inspired by the low-poly vehicles of GeneRally, the freeware top-down racing game from the 2000s.

SPECTRE 3D design aesthetic aside, I'm struggling to understand what about this constitutes a "truck".
