Probably the same reason everything he has named sounds like a 12yo came up with it

Why does it look like a car from a PS1 game?

Because Musk wanted to make a vehicle out of stainless steel and straight panels are the easiest/cheapest to form.

Straight panels are much harder to make as every bend and minor imperfection show up. cnbc.com/…/why-the-cybertruck-is-so-hard-to-manuf…
Why do you think cars are never made with straight panels?
QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Straight stainless is easier.

I mean, if you read the article that’s just not accurate. And musk has said as much many times over.

Because we live in the version of reality where the worst idea is the best idea and we don’t actually care about anyone’s wellbeing and safety. The car is shaped the way it is to inflict the most fatalities on pedestrians.

And the us traffic safety board is refusing to test it’s crash rating because they don’t have to. It’s so fishy that this is a new stupid design and they don’t want to test it. Either Elon paid them off or they refuse to give it sell one to test. I have a feeling it would get a 2 out of 5 stars.

Are you genuinely asking? Because I thought all these jokes were made when it was first unveiled 5 years ago?

Hey Elon stole my plans where I drew this exact thing the very first time I ever tried to draw a car. I think I was 4.

I mostly see the N64 Rush 2049 car called Venom I think. It was mostly a Lamborghini Diablo. Maybe it just stood out in the sea of rounded futuristic cars.
Side note, I think the one called Euro LX was really just the BMW 6-series concept from the Bengal era. Funny how it landed in a mix of futurism that included a rocket car

And why, after we ridiculed this thing 20 years ago for being a low-poly abomination and then it disappeared from view for two decades did they suddenly decide to release the thing with apparently zero changes in 2023?
This is a terrible, ridiculed 20 year old abomination. How is it being taken seriously? I feel like I’m on crazy pills.
spongebue@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I don’t disagree, except it was 4 years ago that they unveiled the abomination.
indigomirage@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
It is.

StarFox on the SNES has more polygons than that.
