    Radical new ideas like a pedal you push with your foot to accelerate it?

    Geo cube, pt cruiser, smart car… All of these had radical shapes without forgetting how to make a gas pedal. There have been several vehicles which have used novel composite body materials. There certainly have been other vehicles, even trucks with 4 wheel steering. While these might be new FOR TESLA, they aren’t new. Tesla already makes other electric vehicles, that’s not only not new, it isn’t new FOR THEM.

      DeLorean (minus the cocaine… Maybe?) for the stainless steel…

      I like how two of your examples were cube like cars which themselves have been around forever

      The PT Cruiser is literally a retro design

      I’m all for criticizing Cybertruck. People need to know the shortcomings. Especially if there’s dangerous issues. But like, I appreciate one of these wacky concept cars actually being released.
