I don't think my lurking counts as breaking the rules, I'm just fulfilling my commitment late.

Twitter didn't even want to change its name, that was forced on it by its abusive owner.

Speaking of abusive owner, I saw a Cybertruck in the wild for the first time today. Pictures and videos don't do justice to how fucking atrocious those things are.

ME TOO! Yeah, it honestly doesn't look real.

Am I really the only one who likes that design?
It looks futuristic.

Seems that way, looks like ps1 car graphics

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Because most other cars have become too similar and round.

I personally don't like it, but I also think it could've looked better. The preproduction model they showed off had way better proportions compared to the final product, it actually looked like a car from a video game

They seriously look like something Orange County Choppers would make to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary for a commercial stove manufacturer.

I did as well. My housemate that was with me asked if Tesla was doing some sort of promotion where people could just drive the things around. She didn't believe anyone would willingly buy something that looks like it was made for a '70s sci Fi C-movie.

You're correct that videos and pics don't manage to capture the true hideousness of that thing. Can't wait for the lawsuits when someone inevitably runs into a pedestrian with that front wedge. It's also weirdly smaller than I expected it to be. The one I saw parked next to a crossover car/SUV and was barely bigger than that thing.
