I can see no way one could know about the cybertruck to buy it without also knowing how stupid Elon is. Even when they announced it, my first thought was “I like the look, but it’s a Tesla so fuck that noise.”
And yes, I do like how it looks. It’s different, and I like the low-poly shape. If it wasn’t also a huge piece of shit, made by a racist asshole I’d probably want one. Though I also thought it was half the size until I saw one in person.
You forgot the hazard sharp geometries pose to the world around you. Sadly, this car shape must not be allowed. That being said they are not allowed to be driven where I live due to these reasons.
It kinda looks neat in photos but in person it looks dog shit and the doofuses driving them look even more idiotic than the average lifted truck driving types somehow
Nah, they look cool in person too. Musk is a piece of shit, and the construction of the cyber truck is just… Well it’s a fucking deathtrap. But I’m not going to lie to myself like some insecure dumbass just because I hate the company; the truck does at least look cool. It would fit right at home in a sci-fi movie.
They look so much better painted. There’s one in my area with an iridescent paint job that actually looks pretty awesome, or it would, if it wasn’t an oversized nazimobile.
My current theory is that the Muskrat knows this and just figured out how to pass the cost for a paint job directly to consumers.
Not low poly but the boxier jdm cars are a good design. They know how to use sharp angles, but still incorporate curves to make an actual well rounded design. Things like the toyota ae86 (one of the most iconic one) and nissan pulsar nx (my favorite because of the tailights) are really good designs imo.
There is also the hyundai n vision 74, a more modern take on jdm style cars (though mostly a concept car)
Look at the n vision 74. Its unfortunately a concept car (i think they were planning a linited run but not feasible for the average person). It is a really cool hydrogen electric dual though. Could probably be outfitted as pure electric tbh if they decided to fully release it
One of the things I learned after they were actually made is that making a car look that way is, in fact, part of the design problem. It’s apparently harder to make everything flat and line up than it is to be curved. Not to mention the areodynamics suffer, which in turn lower the energy efficiency of the vehicle. Which is really why we don’t get interesting fractal designs like this more often.

Seeing one in the wild is like running your hand over smoth and lacquered wood and then catching a splinter.
You very well could slice your hand open running it across the surface of a cybersuck.

Maybe a straight to DVD sci-fi movie lol, but taste is subjective
I like the shape too but this car is a terrible, worthless pos in the most useless category of vehicles.

I thought the same thing; I’d love to see more low-poly style IRL. The CT looks impressively terrible from the back though.

Example of the pulsar nx
My dream car is something like this but electric. Small, maneuverable, and sustainable is what I want in a car.
