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

"you just don't understand how decades of improvement in crumple zones and saving lives was actually a bad thing, cars should be steel tanks that don't handle physics at all, going back at 1960s car design is true forward thinking innovation."

Elon doesn't understand physics of car crashes so he sure as fuck didn't do the actual work to make rockets, he paid people to create his drawings from when he was 10.

decades of improvement in crumple zones and saving lives

This auto industry cope is basically also bullshit. Cars generally have gotten larger and more dangerous for anyone not in a car, or even not in a new car.

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

well this thing is more dangerous for anyone in the car and for anyone not in the car

[-] Cummunism@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

yea that's a different issue. but take the increase in pedestrian deaths and the decrease in auto deaths and it's definitely still a net positive.

[-] Numberone@startrek.website 15 points 1 year ago

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

[-] kool_newt@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

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

robot voice Adios, turd nuggets.

[-] kool_newt@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

How did he see me?

[-] Lochat@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

"it's just for delivery!" Probably

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Paint is extra

[-] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

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

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

"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"

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

The blue checkmarks are so incredibly predictable

Like a kind of... NPC

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

[-] Poison_Ivy@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Tech assholes

This is my favorite unlockable vehicle in Blast Corps

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

[-] UltraGreen@hexbear.net 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?

[-] Harrison@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] robinn2@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

I see the appeal, it’s really unique compared to all the basically identical cars you find around, but I wouldn’t say I like it.
