  I’m convinced that Elon himself drew a shitty sketch for the truck on a napkin and said “make it exactly how I drew it!” and they did unfortunately.

    I’m convinced it’s worse than that. I think he originally drew this thing when it was six years old and never lost the obsession with his little crayon and fingerprint creation. It was also at that time that he became obsessed with the letter X because he loved pirates and treasure maps.

    Remember when Homer designed a car?

      I’d rather own that car.

    I think he learned a 3D modeling program like just enough

  It looks like an uglier version of the Aztec, and that’s really saying something

    I think the CAD program they uaed for design was based on the Logo language.

    Funny enough the Aztec has this cult following now

      I assume that’s because of Breaking Bad more than anything else

        If I could have afforded an Aztec when they came out I would have bought one. There are dozens of us.

  I actually love the way it can look in some of the promo materials and concept art. They should have left it as a concept car and showed it off at events and shit. The things that make it work as a concept, like the striking geometry under certain lighting at specific angles, I haven’t seen a pic of it on the road that looks cool yet. The smaller details like these lights take away from the minimalist geometry and make it look messy and busy instead of sleek and weird, and it just looks like a bunch of rectangles haphazardly arranged.

    Good concepts look good on the road. They have all the lights worked out. You’re proving the point this is a bad design. Leave it a rudimentary sketch and never building it, means it’s a bad design.

      A lot of concepts aren’t even road legal or would just be laying frame on any normal road. The Cybertruck’s bad design isn’t really due to the aesthetics, it’s the design of the platform and structure underneath.
