      Possibly unpopular opinion but I think the Cybertruck is about as dumb-looking as most any other truck on the market. 4 big doors, more cabin than bed, trucks in general are all goofy looking parking lot crawlers nowadays

      Shit on me if you must but I actually like the look and features of the car. However I likely wouldn’t buy a Tesla in general

        It could be a good vehicle, if it was built by someone else.

        The past few years have revealed that while Tesla have the tech, they lack the basic precision manufacturing that other automakers mastered decades ago.

        You’d like the “features” of any car, it’s why they’re features. It’s the tradeoffs that actually matter.

        And yeah, it looked cool at first, but that’s really just because of its uniqueness. From an actual design perspective, it just looks…stupid.

      I think the main market was supposed to be like a utility vehicle. It’s got some nice specs for actual work purposes for an electric vehicle, while saving money by not making a pretty body.

      I don’t know why some people like the look and want it for recreational use.
