Cybertruck looks like Robocop should be driving it.
I saw a Rivian truck on the DNT the other day. It kinda looks like a toy, with the rounded corners and funky paint job. But at least it's not as polarizing as the Cybertruck.
And the Lightning basically just looks like an F150... although I think they have become stupidly huge over the years. I had a 2001 F150 and it was like half the size of the current models.
I thought the exact same thing when I first saw the Cybertruck too
I've also had the chance to see a Rivian and a Lightning out in the wild - there are 2-3 Rivian's running around here, but I've only seen 1 Lightning. (Side note: we have a metric crapload of Teslas, they are about to outnumber Toyotas out here. A lot of Mach-E's. A handful of Volts/Bolts. A small number of the german electrics. I've even seen a Canoo (odd duck) and Fisker. Oddly enough, not any Leafs that I could point to)
The Rivian styling reminded me a lot of the Honda Ridgeline, just a bit bigger. I don't really care for it too much, but that's ok, not every car needs to cater to my taste - it's not a radical departure from other vehicles out here either.
The Lightning - yeah, it was an F150. It had very distinctive grill and tail lights, but it didn't break any molds or anything, it was still very much an F150 (which is either good or bad, depending on how you see it). As a driver of a pretty vanilla F150 - I agree with you. They have become too big. I hate the turning radius, and while it rides great, it drives like a bus. It's making me seriously consider a Ranger for my next truck; the size is about right but the price is just out of whack for what you get when you compare it to the specs on it's bigger brother.
I really want a PHEV, and when he bought my wife's car this year, we looked hard for one, but the market was constrained and just couldn't find one when we needed to buy. We ended up with a Bronco Sport, which I have to admit, is a lot more fun to drive than it should be looking at it on paper, but it's a bit small for what I would need on a day-to-day truck. I'm due to replace my truck soon - so may take another look when I get back to car shopping. My company pays for fuel for work use, but they wouldn't reimburse home charging (at least until one of the VPs gets one and decides it's a thing), but we generate electricity for a living, so I could install a charger in at the work sites - easily up to a Level 3 if I could get the charger.
