You are right that many
You are right that many people will be blinded by the styling of the Cybertruck, just as they were for the Prius, missing the great technology under the skin. But that’s just human nature. I never really warmed up to the styling of the 1st Prius/Echo, but later models improved the design. Most controversial styling will polarize people into those that hate it, those that don’t mind it, and those that prefer unique styling to set them apart from the crowd. The Prius, Leaf, and Mirai all had unique styling that fans took as a badge of courage, visibly drawing attention to the fact that they were driving green cars. The Cybertruck seems to me to offer retro-futurist styling that looks rugged, but doesn’t reveal the eco-nature of BEVs. Many people who hate the Cybertruck’s styling are vocal about their disappointment with the design, but Tesla will benefit overall from owing a distinctive design once the flood of EV trucks come out in 2-3 years. Plus I expect to see a more conventional looking Model Y pickup come out a year or two after the Cybertrucks are in Tesla Showrooms.
