Leaving all the downsides of the Cybertruck aside - the fact that it’s built by a fucking nazi, the fact that it can turn in to a death trap, the fact that the build quality is shit… Who the fuck buys a hideous, hideous car like this…? Who suffers from such poor taste that they think a piece of junk that looks like it was designed by a five-year-old is something worth spending money on, let alone so much?

I’m not defending the Cybertruck, but I used to think the same thing about the Honda Insight. It looks much nicer now, but that was after a huge toning down of toddler design.

I hate the cybertruck, but I think it’s chassis modularity is really neat, they just cut a predefined line in the chassis, then drop in a replacement section, although I’m not sure if I should trust the glue they use to fuse them, even after seeing how it happens in JerryRigEverything’s video on it.

Cybercucks buy these shitty vehicles for the same reason they do anything - to own the libs. That’s the only point of it.

I don’t know, I think it looks cool. Completely impractical, shitty car built by a Nazi that nobody should even consider buying. But in terms of looks alone I like it. I’d gladly drive one in, e.g. a video game (if the look wasn’t associated with Musk, unfortunately it’s tainted now), or watch a movie where it’s the weird vehicle the superhero uses. Why would you build a car looking like that in the real world I have no idea, but it looks cool.
