Imagine this thing driving around the small rural towns in the US. What an out of place eye sore.

For real. Who ever actually thought this thing was aesthetically appealing?

Me against my better judgement, but now I'm seeing why all the ads showed it in a broad expanse of desert: this shit looks goofy next to anything normal

I still sort of like it. Maybe there's something wrong with me.

People don't talk enough about just how ugly almost every car actually is. I assume it's partially just because the car body needs to fit to the actual machinery inside it, but most cars have really overdone styling that exists for no functional purpose. At least the cybertruck doesn't have a ton of pointless detailing. So many cars seem like they're just random bumps and lines for no reason.

Yeah. I actually love 80’s boxy cars

The Lamborghini Countach is peak aesthetics

Dennis is that you?

I like to believe those bumps and lines really help my 27bhp chariot at the top end.

Cars look largely the same as each other now not because of mechanical limitations, you can move the engine around if you like, and the frame can be pretty much whatever shape you want it to be. The big limitation is safety standards. There are only so many ways you can engineer a metal and plastic box to meet all the various requirements.

Try that in a small town
