The price of the Cyber Truck or the 1/2 ton pickup price? A base XL 4 door F150 starts at $33k
I agree that the Tesla Cybertruck is ugly
If/when it goes into production, I suspect it will look drastically different . . .

Reminiscent of the lamented Ford Edsel of yore.
Not an ugly car but using VW fender parts to create custom VW Beetle looking mini scooters. I got a laugh from the short article’s comment about the first one made is so under-powered it has trouble getting out of its own way much like the original Beetles were.

OMG!!! I want one. I could use it on campus like a golf cart. They would have been perfect for the now discontinued Mad Bastard Scooter Rally.
They aren’t.
I would bet the opposite. Those flat surfaces sure are gonna save them a lot of money in the manufacturing process, which will help them keep the price competitive with other trucks (not that I believe their stated price points).
And while it’s definitely ugly, if I needed a truck with those capabilities, I wouldn’t care. Frankly I think most trucks out there are ugly these days. Giant monsters that look like something out of the Terminator movies. At least this ugly truck will get away from the other ugly trucks very rapidly.

Then we’ll have to agree to disagree . . . in regards to the final form
But I’m with you on the price points
In my opinion, it fell off the ugly tree and hit every single branch on the way down

Apparently, you’ve never seen an Edsel.

One of the best museums in the country. Not far from that display is the “flying car:”
I fly a lot and I like it…but no way in hell would I get in one of those.
Didn’t they make something like that one time useing a ford pinto?
Good memory! Yes! The AVE Mizar. They welded the back half of a Cessna to both halves of a Pinto and somehow thought this was a good idea. A wing strut separated from the Pinto on the first test flight and they had to land it in a field, then drive it back to the airport. On the second test flight, the strut popped loose again, and this time the whole wing came off and it crashed, killing the company’s president (and lead designer) and the VP. Turns out the welds were shoddy, as was the design.
The one interesting part of the design was that you used both the airplane engine and the Pinto’s stock engine driving the wheels at the same time to shorten the takeoff roll.

Maybe not. Big flat areas are notoriously difficult to keep that way. Without bends or other structure, they can be wavy and really difficult to make and keep that way.
Wow . . .
I’m not going to click “like” because the contraption was literally a death trap 
That’s just tragic
