God damn that is ugly
It’s not 80’s enough to have a cool cyberpunk aesthetic, but if they leaned in to that they could have made something that looked really cool to me and the 12 of us that like that look.
But then the clean interior would immediately lose us. Gotta have a bunch of crap, buttons and nobs and stuff all over the interior. With no less than 4 screens giving you information at any given time.
Work with me here. Picture something like this as the general aesthetic of the car.
What’s that?
Knight Rider
CRTs, every one of them. With those old curly phone-cord looking cables coming out the side.
And they function as patch cables to let you pick what displays on each of them by hooking them into the designated port “on the mainframe”
Cable management is the only way to tell what’s stock and what’s mod, man. That’s the look I want.
Ya I’d love something like the cybertruck but not at that price, maybe mix it with a borderlands out runner
I mean, you can get a truck chassis at a you-pull and fabricate your own cyber body if you have the space and sheer force of will…
Or just buy a Jeep Comanche and modify it a bit, Jeep Cherokee/Comanche designs were peak brick.
Shit they only made 200 thousand of the things, what a great little truck though. I think I saw one for sale in the last 5 years locally and they wanted 15k. Not exactly the hobby truck I’m looking for lol
if you want 80s/cool cyberpunk aesthetic you need to go to Hyundai and their Vision 74 concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu1yzLEsc1Q
If they make a wagon in that style I’d sell a kidney
Like if the hunchback of Notre Dame fucked a DeLorean.
From this angle (no pun intended) it looks like the nose fell off.
The front fell off
It’s not supposed to do that.

Can you book me a cab?
This is the car that a sixth grader draws in his notebook between a Cool S and a barbarian sword.
That S looks way cooler than this car, though.
I’d drive the fuck out of that S.
I’d have ex with that S
Elon told you that this car will win any argument with another car. If a car full of teen showed you disrespect you should track them and ram them at high speed with your powerful torque. See their crummy car be flattened by your invincible steel battleship. You are the elite, the king of the road, don’t you dare forget it or everything falls apart.
To be fair, the thing is still probably going to fall apart anyway if past Tesla weld quality is any indication.
But not before passning all that impact energy goodness to the passengers due to the lack of crumple zones.
and pedestrians, and the people in the other vehicle… I suspect this thing is going to be a lawsuit factory for Tesla.

You can do that already with a GMC Sierra
Canyonero
funniest part to me is this thing is going to cost owners so much money on body work. Any dent, ding, scratch etc. is gonna JUMP out on those clean steel panels, body shops aren’t going to be able to hammer out (would leave impact marks all over) or fill and sand (unless you like that bondo patch atop SS look lol) - or purchase entire replacement panels from Tesla, if they make any (and have the excess production capacity for spares) available.
Oh and the lawsuits for making vehicles designed to slice through other vehicles - stainless doesn’t have the crumple / impact absorption modern vehicles are designed for.
There’s an Easter egg in Satisfactory (3d base building/logistics video game) where you can craft a “Cyber Wagon”, which looks exactly like a Cybertruck but with square wheels, and has the highest fuel consumption rate of any vehicle aside from the personal jetpack. It also handles like absolute shit on account of the square wheels.
But you can actually carry cargo in it. So it’s still better than the real one.
And the window is broken!

Mom can we get Pontiac Aztek?
We have Pontiac Aztek at home.
PS1 version of Pontiac Aztek.

Even the Fiat Multipla looks better than the Cybertruck…
You lost me here. I strongly disagree, the Multipla is and still remains the ugliest car in car’s history!
WTF? It’s like a car with weight problems.
It’s like it has that obese forehead fat that comes in after about 500lbs
The people who buy this won’t be in debt. It will be their new iwatch for a year, maybe two, then resold at half its price because half the touch buttons or little motors for the bed cover stops working.
I really liked the review by Marcus, what happens when the door ices over, will that push open solenoid actually be able to open the door?
When i look at it, i start thinking I am a great designer!
While in fact, i am a backend developer
His back end is where Musk gets his ideas
It looks as if they missed the stop line at a red light and can’t see out of the rear window to back up safely.
There’s a persistent rear camera view. This wouldn’t be an issue.
When the cybertrunk was first announced I kinda liked it. I’m utilitarian and don’t care what I drive looks like. The explanation I heard for the looks was because it was supposed to be really cheap to manufacture. So, a cheap ass EV pickup sounded pretty cool to me. Unfortunately, it’s not going to be cheap :(
It’s been said before, and it’s the kind of comment that essentially implies this community shouldn’t exist, but it’s extremely ironic for a community called “enough xyz spam” to essentially spam everyone’s feeds with posts about xyz. Imma go ahead and block this community, don’t take it personally peeps, I just actually have had enough of musk spam.
Where I live you could buy a very decent RV for the equivalent of $100k. Hell even the $60k variant gets you quite a bit.
I’d much rather have that and be able to work “from home” from the south of Spain rather than drive a geometric shape.
I have spent less than that on my flat, and just about that on an older house.
car prices are insane.
Cars have become expensive, sure. But what I find crazy is people are so happy to take out huge loans on it.
You can buy a really nice and comfortable car for under €10k around here. Yet so many people have a car worth 2/3 of their gross annual income.
absolutely, I have a used car myself,I will probably never buy new.
People also way overspend on cars then complain that they don’t have money
Still convinced Elon made this for shits and giggles to see if he could make someone buy it.
Like he did with Twitter. Except that was a drunk bet at a billionaire Christmas party.
These cars a made for the immanent apocalypse and you will see who has the last laugh.
You can probably attach chainsaws and shit to it but you need an app to open it (the app won’t work after the apocalypse)
Everyone is talking about electricity going down but the real problem will be the Tesla DRM servers going down.
on one of the IASIP podcasts Glen Howerton who plays Denis on IASIP tells his story on how he got his Tesla stuck in a parking garage, because there was no signal there, so he couldn’t use his phone to open it, then called a tow truck after buddying up to the parking garage attendant, but that they couldn’t do it, because the size of the tow truck to lift the heavy tesla couldn’t fit into the garage.
it also inspired an episode in the latest season, brilliant stuff, how stupid it is.
I will def. have the last laugh: with no electricity (because remember, apocalypse), owners will starve or suffocate as they can’t even open their doors DAYS before i die of radiation induced cancer, laughing
Electricity is easier to source than fossil fuels; solar panels, wind power, you could even burn wood and use a steam turbine to make it
A Mercedes g class would survive longer than that truck.
There are reasons why even the fucking base models of the G class are still trusted by the world’s militaries.
Oh sure, but just wait until they find out the apocalypse also means no electricity…
Not to mention for civilization to collapse a hell of a lot of people have to die; which probably means environmental collapse; which means the oceans are dying; which in turn means there’s no oxygen being produced because the keystone species (phytoplankton, algae, etc) are mostly dead or switching to toxic modes of energy production. This means that everyone is dying, no matter if they have an ugly DRM controlled polywagon or not.
Solar panels won’t just stop working, you know. I have a solar generator. Takes forever to charge but it does get power.
i saw one IRL today for the first time. was walking past the dealership in Chicago and they had one on display
there’s a Rolls Royce and Maserati dealer a few block away. what i thought at the time is that these are toys for the rich to show off, publicity for the South African, and nothing more
I don’t care how many bumper stickers you put on it to hide the fact, this abomination is a scarlet letter announcing what you really are.
Alexis Ohanian (co-founder of Reddit) bought one. I’ve yet to hear of Spez getting one but he’s precisely the kind of tech bro who would.
didn’t spez say he likes Elon?
Those bumper stickers are timeless. Imagine going back in time and putting them on model-Ts or Volkswagens.
