That thing slammed is just taking it back to the late 60/early 70s concept wedge cars and I'm kinda into that tbh considering those are some of the coolest cars ever.

I unironically like boxy angular vehicles. I don't hate the way it looks. I'm sure it will be a complete piece of poo poo, though. And why do the back seats have like half a foot less headroom than the front? lmao

Thats not a boxy, angular vehicle.

Thats a box with an angle
that also happens to be a vehicle.

This is the truck I drew when I was ten. This is the truck I built from Lego after watching too much Robocop, Airwolf and StreetHawk. This the truck our Shadowrun crew would have pulled up in for a run on a Corp.

I must own one. Even if it’s poo poo, I will park one on the lawn in front of my house and reminiscence over my childhood while looking at it.

I can't be mad at it. I appreciate that design-wise it's fuckin' weird in a late seventies cocaine bender kind of weird. It reminds me of the Stratos Zero though obviously less cool.

I normally hate Tesla, I just appreciate that Musk is finally being open about all aspects of his John DeLorean worship. The stainless steel wedge, the cocaine, etc...

Car design has gone off the deep end of angles, creases and features everywhere, this is the exact opposite. Maybe we can meet in the middle and have good looking cars again?

Wry and wise,

The Cybertruck is amazing, I’d put a hundo down on it in a second if my city didn’t make large cars insanely impractical. More companies should make reasonably priced insanity that most people hate, it would be a much better world for everyone.

I wouldn't mind a lowered, straight-roof wagon version of that as long as the interior was a similarly 80s version of 2020 vehicles and not actual 2020 vehicles which is nothing but a steering wheel and an ipad. I'm talking two-hand-grips steering wheel and more switches and buttons than you can shake a stick at. I want a covered toggle switch just for sending power to my usb mp3 drive.

Okay, but if you're Elon Musk you have to tell me, that's the law. I don't wanna see this one the website tomorrow with "haha, this is actually the real truck"

hmm, it's close.

i wanna lift it and put another six inches of material between the top of the wheel arches and the beltline, like all the other trucks on the market today.

I have decided that I love the Cybertruck. I can not think about it without giggling. In a homogenous sea of amorphous SUV blobs and cow-faced pickups it is sui generis. How many vehicles can have their windows smashed in a failed marketing stunt during their reveal and have that not be the main story?

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to own one, but the fact that it exists makes me so much happier.

On the other hand, if they're not gonna have crumple zones, why not go forward control, and maximize cargo space vs. footprint.

Yeah, see, this is exactly what I expected them to do. Especially after Elon saying the truck would be able to carry another truck in its bed (now clearly referring to payload) but moreover that he said it'd be a scaled down version of the Semi.

This is a render I took from this article but I expected something more like this, given that it actually does look sorta like a scaled down semi and have a big-rear end cargo area. Imagine a 10 foot box with the same footprint as any other pickup on the road, or an eight or six foot box with that much shorter overall length.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.
Hahah the glass broke. I bet if they used normal-rear end auto glass it wouldn't have broken with that weaksauce lob.
