I thought it was FUGLY when I first saw it. Now it's grown on me and I want one.

Yeah, not feeling it. In fact, It’s safe to say that I’m not a potential customer.
I should sue Elon for copying my Boy Scout “Pine Wood Derby” design I made when I was 8 years old..
Took me all of 2 minutes to design it, and cut it out of a block of wood.

Right. Cheap manufacturing!!
Germany tree huggers just blocked the gigafactory. So we will see.

Apparently the reason for the truck being as boxy as it is, is that it's made of fairly thick stainless steel panels that don't take shape very well in a press and so are best left flat. If it's a technical limitation, my bet is that it's slightly improved by release date, and they figure out a way to form the panels however they want by gen. 2.

It's a cost-saving manufacturing technique, yes. No need for stamping machines or a paint shop. It's not a technical limitation....done on purpose.

As the article you linked mentions, "Elon Musk recently elaborated on this in a recent tweet, stating that the Cybertruck’s 3mm-thick stainless steel exoskeleton is not very friendly to stamping machines. “Reason Cybertruck is so planar is that you can’t stamp ultra-hard 30X steel, because it breaks the stamping press.”"

This. Also, the availability of super chargers will be a huge issue, at least in Kentucky. The only two in the state are in Louisville and Lexington. There are no charging options around Lake Cumberland or Dale Hollow. Until that infrastructure is built out the cyber truck doesn't do me any good regardless of how much it can tow.

Should not be an issue if the extra extended range option is selected.
