And goddamn, that shit does not even look good does it. Like idk I sorta had this idea in my head that the cybertruck at least accomplished Elon’s dream of making a cool futuristic looking car, even if the functionality was shit, but wow he didn’t even do that. It looked like - you ever see those things on Instagram where artists take children’s drawings and make them into realistic looking artwork? It look’s like he took a child’s crappy drawing of a car and turned it into real life. It’s blocky, it looks clumsy and it has no sense of space.

The original Tesla car I get. I’m not a car guy, but to me that’s what a “cool” car looks like. It’s shiny, it’s sleek, it looks luxurious. The cybertruck looks like Elon just went to a scrapyard, found a bunch of metal sheets and haphazardly strung them together. The whole car looks like it’s about to fall apart if you so much as touch it. It’s also extremely dull looking. Not only is it gray, but it’s an extremely dull gray. No sheen to it at all.

I feel like the look Elon wanted was “imposing” and it doesn’t even accomplish that. I’m bigger than the car. And because it looks so crap and so fragile, there’s nothing imposing about it at all. Just buy an F150 or a big ass hummer if you really need an imposing looking car. Sorry for the rant but I’m just in shock at how shitty that car looked.

I've seen a few now and I always do a double take. Which is what Tesla owners want doubtlessly but for reasons they don't. The best I've seen...

Bitcoin wrapped cyber truck

Like you said a child's drawing.

Irony shielding allows any sort of manchild shit to look like a smart cool statement, like this one about internet funny money.

Elon is the only person who could unintentionally design something that looks like it was AI generated

Every single one I've seen is vinyl wrapped, like slapping a layer of camo or purple lightning wallpaper over a dented up shoebox is supposed to make the thing look less ass?

This was the thing that caught me by surprise. It's so dull looking. The one I saw was black, but it has no sheen at all, so it looked like if someone just rubbed compost or dirt all over a car. I can't even say charcoal because charcoal has a sheen.
