The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money::Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money.
Am I the only one who thinks this is ugly as fuck?
I recently saw one in the wild and it’s even uglier in person than it was in pictures. For a second I thought someone DIYed that nasty looking car; nope, actual designers puked that thing out.
No designers involved, unless you think Elon is a designer. The whole Tesla design studio revolted over having to work on it. They designed something else, which of course Elon refused. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if it was engineered so the other option can be swapped in when this one flops.

Yes. Everyone else thinks it’s the bestly engineered and designed vehicle that’s ever been made.

Am I the only one who initially thought this was just some elaborate Elon meme, but is now shocked to find that he actually built this abomination?
Nope
Nah, i think most people think it’s ugly as fuck, because it is! And still I like the aesthetic? Or at least the idea of it.
For once, it’s committed to the bit. Very few compromises were made on the looks, and those to comply with regulatory standards, not to make it more appealing. I’m a world where most cars look kinda the same, that counts something.
It’s not trying to be beautiful. It’s trying to be unique, divisive, to make you think “what is THAT thing??” whenever you encounter one, and on that grounds I’d say it succeeds.
However this kind of looks suffer greatly from the soddy build quality. If you are going for pure straight lines and angles you better make sure they are perfect, because of they are not people are going to notice and it’s going to spoil the effect.
So, in summary, cool idea but poor execution, perhaps if Elon had let his designers do their work they could have pulled it off. Also Hyundai did better but with more compromises.
