The rolling door stop is meant to stand out from every other truck, but there are others with a ugly angular slab styling like Bollinger

Steven, Bollinger was recently purchased by Mullen EV company and will build these in a former H2 plant. I guess there's a crowd for everything, lol.

As far as the rolling Door Stop, I feel its way too long at least from what I see from images online. I'm not sure how this will fit in people's garages. And being surrounded on either side by tight A-pillars while in the driver's seat will be too claustrophobic for me. It is for the spoiled teenager or narcissist that needs attention...not me.

I believe the origins of the CT design came from Musk's fascination with the late '70s to early 80's Lotus Esprit featured in the James Bond flick "The Spy Who Loved Me". The urban legend goes like this: a married couple saw the movie set model for sale for some really small some ($45?) not knowing what the significance of it and bought it. When Elon found out about it he purchased it for a few million. He and designer Franz took the beautiful sleek design to create the Frankenstein vehicle known as CyberTruck.

I believe a smaller CT might be in the works, possibly with 2 doors.
BTW, there is a California start-up called Alpha Motors that designed the stunning 2 door Rex below. They will also contract manufacture but I rather have a legacy automaker like Chevy or Ford buy them out and built it.
