People left in complete disbelief after seeing Cybertruck's build quality

One car fan claimed the Tesla vehicle looked as if it was a 'college senior design project'

Can you believe it’s been just over a year since Tesla began rolling out its first batch of Cybertrucks to hungry customers?

The battery electric pickup, initially unveiled by Tesla CEO Elon Musk as a concept vehicle in November 2019, has divided the internet since day one, with some complaining of a ‘poor design’ and expensive charges.

Others however have taken it into their own hands to improve the vehicle, with some building their own homemade version of the car. Another fan has also gone to lengths to get one in the UK, despite it not being road legal yet.

Ahead of its official release in November 2023, Tesla's chief designer Franz von Holzhausen took his own Cybertruck to a 'Cars & Coffee' gathering.

There, automobile enthusiast @dsgolson took some close-up shots of the car and posted them online.

"Please enjoy these detail shots I took of the Cybertruck that Tesla’s chief designer brought to cars and coffee today," he captioned the series of snaps shared to TikTok.

The first photo showed an all-black Cybertruck parked up - and it genuinely looked like something straight out of a Batman movie.

While impressive from afar, when up close, some people noticed a few snags.

Several photos showed gaps in the car's panelling on different parts of the vehicle, making it look undeniably unfinished.

It's important to point out that this vehicle may not necessarily represent the finished models motorheads got their hands on after they released, but that didn't stop people from weighing in on the car's quality in the comments at the time.

"How is it that Tesla can’t even get quality control on something that’s not even in production yet?" questioned one person.

"It makes the Nissan Cube look like a work of art," said another.

A third went on to add: "I really have no idea how their panel gaps are this bad. Like this isn't a mass produced unit."

"Is this a college senior design project?" wrote another.

However, others argued that the imperfections proved that the Cybertruck isn't mass made - which, to them, is a good thing.

"Hey little imperfections means it’s handmade. This is a luxury product guys fr!!" penned one TikToker.

"Personally I love the way it looks," said another person who defended the truck.

I mean, maybe the gaps are supposed to be there.
