I heard you need to be very careful driving these things. Sometimes the screen tears if you take a corner too fast.

Plus the draw distance has to be insanely low, you might hit something.

My 6 year old son loves the shit out of that car. I wish it wasn't made by a twat CEO

My six year old son loves dinosaurs. 🤷

Pterosaur because they fly!

True. On the other hand some of them looked like this, which overrides any argument:

Ah, so Jim Henson didn't die, he was just sent back in time.

Ankylosaurus!

Allosaurus gets no love.

My kid at 6yo loved eating peanut butter and mayo and drinking orange juice with Pepsi.

Fewer triangles than SNES Star Fox

I’m just playing F-Zero and eating government cheese with my purple drank.

I actually like the way the cyber truck looks. Shame it was made by a malicious idiot.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Agree. I know WHY most cars are suppository shaped, I just wish there was greater variety

[-] variants@possumpat.io 13 points 1 year ago

That's the way I feel, I don't like the cyber truck but I'm glad it exists in a sort of homes Simpson car is possible sort of way

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I want more manufacturers to come up with future forward designs. I just don’t want Elon to be involved in any of it

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

I would like to see Ford's take on the cyber truck, because they actually know how to make a truck. The trouble is the only electric truck they make is the Lightning and it just looks like every other truck they've ever made.

[-] aidan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

because they actually know how to make a truck.

Source? ;p

I think it looks like it's okay. It just goes way over the top at being edgy and different with no real benefit to the new design. I think cars designed the way they currently are, look boring, so I'm all in favor of going in a new direction but the cyber truck is just different for the sake of it, and not in a good way.

If you're going to design a new kind of vehicle at least keep the bits of the old design that actually made sense. A flatbed you can actually use, flat roof so you can fit roof racks on it for extra storage, make it out of material that perhaps doesn't rust, you know the basics.

I didn't like it when it was revealed but the design has started to grow on me. Can't say I love it but I don't hate it either

[-] nednobbins@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

I've spent too much time wondering about this design.

It looks like they really wanted to go for a futuristic look. The problem is they went for something that looked futuristic in the 1990's.

If I had rolled up to a Y2K party in a car that looked like it was straight out of, the Minds Eye, Beyond the Mind's Eye or the original Tron, it would have been badass.

Now it just looks like he couldn't get enough GPUs to render them with more polygons.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I wonder if the design was influenced by Elon Musk? That guy is a Gen Xer manbaby who is mentally stuck in the 1990s, especially after renaming Twitter as X.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

of course it was. it screams stunted growth.

[-] nednobbins@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

That's what confuses me. I'm a Gen Xer (whether or not I'm a manbaby is debateable) and that design just looks old to me. Not retro, not nostalgia inducing, just dated.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I'm pretty sure he renamed the company X just so he could make the logo on those Twitter post embeds look like they are the button to close the post preview. It looks like a modal close button, especially since they put it on the top right, but if you click it, it takes you to twitter, where you are immediately bombarded with pop-ups, login prompts, and just all-around general ass-hattery. Plus now you can't refer to anything generic as X without people wondering if you're talking about Xitter or not. It's dumb, and annoying.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I can respect someone wanting to make a vehicle with a retro-futuristic look. The problem is that the Cybertruck is so committed to its retro-futuristic look that it neglects being a working vehicle.

I knew I wasn't the only one thinking this trucks look like a pickup made by Saturn in 1992.

[-] ZarkleFarkle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

More like by Jupiter. Lol

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 year ago

If you ever had the misfortune of seeing these in the streets, theyre so stupidly ugly.

[-] admin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Even the wheels are ugly, I don't know WHY tesla wanted them to look like ABS plastic.

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Tomb Raider Tiddies

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Tired of hearing about this ugly thing

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Show me the SNES graphics!

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I think it actually looks pretty cool from this angle. This is the first angle I've seen of the Cybertruck that I like.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think the cybertruk is that good looking but it's for sure better than the ugly ass car next to it.
