From the article: “Tesla began delivering the Blade Runner-inspired truck in November 2023”
Me: Fuck you. That is an insult to Syd Mead’s legacy.
I guess it vaguely looks like this one in terms of the large flat plane in the front. Though it’s blade runner, so it’s all grungy like pieces are falling off and it’s all rusted and junk. Wait maybe cyber truck was inspired by bladeunner.
Doesn’t look much like a lot of other cars in the movie though.
…you don’t think it looks like a vehicle from Blade Runner?
Have you ... ever watched Blade Runner?
I love that movie. The way they run with blades is so good
…yes? Have you?
I have too, it's a very good movie

I mean (assuming thats the author idk) he was imagining a dystopian world, so this is a compliment in my book.

Syd Mead was a concept artist. Blade Runner was based on a short story by Philip K Dick called “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”
