Before it got its jagged, angular shape, Tesla's design team worked through a number of design concepts that took inspiration from video games, movies, and sci-fi car auto cars
Elon Musk’s biographer, Walter Isaacson, has shared some passages from his upcoming book on the Tesla CEO ahead of its release. With them, he has published a behind-the-scenes photo of some of the Cybertruck designs the automaker was looking at before it landed on the one we now recognize.
The photo shows some of the inspirations that the design team was looking at, along with a range of design drawings that appear to be earlier iterations of. While some details on the drawings are familiar, none is quite as angular as the one that Tesla eventually committed to. “The Chevy Silverado was still on the showroom floor for reference,” Isaacson writes. “In front of it were three large display boards with pictures of a wide variety of vehicles, including ones from video games and sci-fi movies. They ranged from retro to futuristic, sleek to jagged, curvaceous to jarring.”
