I can't be the only one who sees the design similarities to the Delorean, right? And to top it off it's stainless steel...

For me it is reminiscent of TARS from Interstellar.
Any chance this is the chassis of SpaceX's inevitable Mars Rover being tested on Earth first?
Elon tweeted [1] that the pressurized edition will be the "official truck of Mars" - which I take to mean it will be the rover.

I don't think you'll need hard exterior on Mars. Instead you need protection from extreme weather.

It also looks like the cars in the original Total Recal

Yeah, it's like they took a Delorean, added an El Camino style bed and made the whole thing more rugged... and electric.
Gas stations? Where we're going, we don't need gas stations!
I thought this was the car from Moonwalker. Was expecting it to turn into robot Michael Jackson. There's no way this wasn't modeled after that?
The unpainted steel of the DeLorean made it a pain in the ass to repair. You can't pull dents, apply body filler and repaint, you basically need a whole new panel if you want to restore damage.
The part of the demo that was actually impressive was the part where they took sledgehammers to the body panels and didn't leave dents. I think it'll be fine.
Unlike a DeLorean, I don't think a few rough weld marks would ruin the aesthetic of the Cybertruck.
Was thinking the same thing. Sounds expensive to repair. Leading to higher insurance premiums
reminds me of the Aston Martin Bulldog concept from '79 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aston_Martin_Bulldog
A Delorean Hummer love child.
My first thought as well.
Same here, though the DMC car looked futuristic for its time. This is simply hideous, a meme of itself.
Any idea what the curb weight is?
