There’s just no way to prepare yourself for how hideous the thing is when you see it up close. I’m all for electric cars, and you drive what you drive, but the dingy metal and stupid shape makes it look like the bastard love child of the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz and a Transformer made by somebody who had used several fine vintages of methamphetamine that day. And people pay what, almost 200K, for this monstrosity?
Really they are awful in photos but there’s no way to really tell how ugly that thing is up close.
Honestly every generation has had their ugly vehicle. And most car manufacturers have a couple. Like that one truck that could convert into an SUV but nobody’s ever seen one converted into an SUV and they just drive them as trucks and they’re ugly AF? I think it’s a Chevrolet.
What shocks me the most about the Cybertruck is how big it is. I mean, it IS a working truck, supposedly — I don’t think a single Cybertruck is being used as a working truck anywhere. But that’s the design. They’re big.
They’re ugly, but they do have a certain attractive quality about them. The default champagne colour is gaudy. I’ve seen them in black and blue and thought, okay, that’s not so bad.
My wife hates them in any colour though. And I’m not a fan, I just don’t think they’re as ugly as the default colour.
I do want to drive one, though. Not own one — I wanna see how they drive and handle. I hear they’re pretty nice to drive.
At some point there will be another ugly vehicle and we’ll stop being so weirded out by the Cybertruck. Maybe. I dunno. It is a bizarre shape. I think those little oversized go-karts with the three wheels you see everywhere are actually at least as weird as the Cybertruck, they just happen to look cool. But they are weird.
GenX had the Delorean. :)
I thought we had the Pontiac Aztek ? Ugly car but apparently super functional
Seeing the internet bag on them was a lesson. I’d go for this one.
Deloreans looked good, though.
I’d say the PT Cruiser is the shame of Gen X.
Gen X here. Bought one for my ex-wife. It worked well enough. 🤷🏻♂️
I’d say the pt cruiser was millenial, on the basis that my younger sister had one
Yes we did… and I wonder if we’d think they were ugly if not for Back to the Future.
I have heard nothing but bad things from people who actually own one.
Back to the Future is the only reason anyone thought Deloreans were cool!
So the question then becomes, could a movie make the Cybertruck cool?
Or maybe a video game? What if they put the Cybertruck in Cyberpunk and made it one of the main characters’ personal vehicles, this person would always have it and you’d associate it with them. Or maybe GTA VI.
Just make sure you leave the windows down on your test drive.
That way if you crash and burn, you’ll still be able to escape.
The part aboit wanting to give the cybertruck a test drive made me think of my friend’s hybrid EV. My friend drives a Honda Clarity and I hella wanna take it for a spin myself because the way he drives makes it seem like the vehicle has no turn radius and I can’t tell if it’s just how he drives or the car really struggles to make a 3 point turn.
