The cybertruck

They’re semi normal to see now and thus highly contentious, what do you think?

 

[linebaugh]

I think you’d have to be a rapper or athlete or some type of rich character like that to pull it off but I do kind of like them

The initial shock of approval wore off over the years it took to materialise. I'd rather own and drive a chunky retrofuturistic yangwang U8 (it floats, it turns on the spot, many other cool features) or the latest land cruiser.

i really can't see how anyone might find the cybertruck cool to me it looks like only a certain kind of loser would drive one, i think mainly because i associate it with elon musk and he is to me the extreme opposite of "cool"

The very existence of Starship, and repeatedly landing reusable rocket boosters on a small platform at sea isn't cool to you?

 

[yyaldrin]

no it's the dumbest thing i can think

It looks like a blocky, pixelated vehicle from a PS1 game appeared in real life.

This matte white one is cool

I agree with everything @yyaldrin said... except that, inexplicably - and I hate myself for saying this - I think the cybertruck actually looks cool.

 

[linebaugh]

It has the same issue many futuristic minimalist looking things do in that it’s always going to look out of place and stupid on the cracked concrete covered in piss shit and grime driving past the exxon station and kebab spot but in a vacuum ya I think it looks kinda cool

 

[IdleRich]

Actually a good point. Makes me think it will be less cool in reality.

It’s like a silver knight rider meets Battlething Galactica

It’s why you’d have to be some cool rich character to pull it off and more generally futuristic minimalist design only works with massive architectural projects or very small hand held consumer goods- the size of the image must create its own context

 

[IdleRich]

Yeah someone who can more or less create their entire environment.

Why not in the city ?

It looks like a Volvo/Saab on ketamine
