Maybe it’s the retro-futuristic style or reminiscent of sci-fi and cyperpunk, but I genuinely really like the design.

I would never buy one due to the MYRIAD issues plaguing the stainless steel body, interior build quality, or give Tesla money. But still a cool looking car, if nonfunctional truck.

    It’s also hostile to all other cars. The lack of crumple zone makes it a hazard to everyone and everything except the person in it.

    Edit: I stand corrected, see below

      IDK about the Cybertruck, but I’m not aware of an inherent reason why a car that has lots of sharp angles would have less crumple zone. It just metal sheets, it’s literally what’s on the inside that counts.

        I’m pretty sure I heard/read about it in the past. I did some searching and found that it’s highly likely that my statement has been debunked.

        So I stand corrected!

        Which isn’t to say that I dont hate the damn thing. I still hope they all rust.
