My favourite thing about these fucking shitheaps is the anisotropy of the different panels. A massive giveaway that the build quality and attention is fucking garbage.

See how the reflections on the doors travel in different directions - essentially, thats anisotropy. Brushed metal (in this case) has a direction in which it has been treated, so the reflections and light travel along that surface direction. Mismatch those and it sticks out a mile. It's one of the first things you sort on this type of fabrication - even DeLorean had it covered in the 80's. Paint jobs are all done in one direction to prevent this effect from appearing.

How anyone can say anything positive about this is beyond me.

I was wondering what that was about. Thanks for teaching me a new thing today!

Yes, It took me some time to notice why it looks like straight from scrapyard, but this is it

What's the so-true / very-intelligent explanation for the literal ducttape

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"it's just for delivery!" Probably

Doesn't it ruin the paint? Ah wait, there is no paint, isn't it?

Paint is extra

I definitely picture that matrix dude from Grandma's Boy driving one of these.

How did he see me?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Makes sense, since he's also the one who created it.

The wheels are so badly mismatched to the design of the body. I guess the trucks are still in pre-/alpha

I hear those things are a masterpiece of engineering. They're made to within 10 microns. You know, like a Lego!

Looking to buy a Tesla soon. May need to wait for this cybertruck.

I think the more I look at it the less ugly it looks.

If you're truly wanting attention when driving around town then this is it.

Funny, they just keep getting worse the more I look at them. The fucking panel warping everywhere resulting in the ugliest goofy ass reflections is just beyond egregious. Come on, DeLorean figured out that sucks and how to fix it for free over 40 years ago.

Turning heads when I drive around town in my toaster oven.

"if you wanna turn heads, sit i side this giant pile of shit with wheels. People will notice the smell and they'll look and see you"

The blue checkmarks are so incredibly predictable

Primitive and ugly design. Who's dumb enough to buy this hunk of junk?

Tech assholes

other car manufacturers do put a film in some front and back areas to protect the car during transit to dealerships, but it's not duct tape. it's more like a cling film without the gobs of adhesive that can dry and leave residue that duct tape has

This is my favorite unlockable vehicle in Blast Corps

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The newest in child killing technology. Fuck big trucks. And super fuck it being a Tesla. It's like, how much more asshole could you get?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd never buy it, but I do like how it looks.
