Right? That’s pretty much what I’ve been saying: they look like a fiberglass shell on top of an El Camino in a bad 1980s straight-to-video Mad Max ripoff.
It’s exactly how you’d expect a car designed by a boy whose development was arrested in 1980–when his parents divorced—would look. It’s the perfect evidence that he’s, basically, a nine year old with billions of dollars.
I used to compare it to the Homer car from The Simpsons, except the Homer did everything it was advertised to do. It was just stupid. That makes the Homer better than the Cybertruck.
It’s because they do it so poorly. It’s cost-cutting masquerading as innovation and minimalism. This style has been done well by Giorgetto Giugiaro in the 80s. The Delorean and Maserati Boomerang are undoubtedly beautiful (though certainly a product of their time). These are just cheap cosplay pulling at tech-bro nostalgia.
They are head-turning though. Not in a good way, but head-turning. One drove by me yesterday and I instantly turned my head because look at that ugly fucking thing and now let me see the idiot driving it.
These things and the trucks are so damn ugly… Who the hell watched 80s sci-fi and was like “Yes! Give me that aesthetic.”
Not even good 80s sci-fi. That truck looks like it came from a low-budget Star Wars or Mad Max ripoff.
