If nothing else, the upcoming Cybertruck from Tesla has certainly divided opinion.
Not least among the factors is the car's distinctive design, which looks either futuristic or like it would be affronted by the mere presence of a human being, depending on who you ask.
In any case, the vehicle has certainly captured people's attention, including car safety experts who raise concerns about the risks the Cybertruck could pose to other road users.

One man, who 'paid a $100 reservation', took a look at a more up to date version of the car at the Tesla showroom in Santana Row in San Jose, California.
Alistair Barr finally got a look at the car up close, and one thing in particular stuck out.
In fairness, there are many things about the Cybertruck which are different from more regular cars, such as the presence of a crumple zone.
But the most distinctive thing was the sheer size of the car.

The design has been updated from prototype models, which has included making it slightly smaller.
But even accounting for this the Cybertruck is still longer than the Ford F-150, itself an absolute behemoth.
The high spec model of the Cybertruck, subtly named the 'Cyberbeast', has a kerb weight of nearly three and a half tons.
This is combined with a top speed of 112mph and a body made from tough stainless steel panelling, which also makes up the truck's distinctive angular design.

That is a very large and very heavy car.
It's also very expensive, with the cheapest model starting at a whopping $60,000.
The Cybertruck's design has also drawn the attention of car safety experts, who have raised concerns about the vehicle's build.
Adrian Lund, the former president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), drew attention to the stainless steel: "The big problem there is if they really make the skin of the vehicle very stiff by using thick stainless steel, then when people hit their heads on it, it's going to cause more damage to them."

He wasn't alone, with non profit organisation the European Transport Safety Council raising concerns directly related to the Cybertruck's size.
In a statement, they said: "We hope Tesla don't bring this vehicle to Europe. A vehicle of this size, power and huge weight will be lethal to pedestrians and cyclists in a collision."
Nonetheless, the Cybertruck continues to divide attention, with some people loving the design, and others not so much.
UNILAD has reached out to Tesla for comment.
