    I heard you need to be very careful driving these things. Sometimes the screen tears if you take a corner too fast.

      Me fucking too. I just kept screaming ‘nooooooo!’

      When people said pictures don’t show how ugly they actually are, it did not prepare me for the abomination I saw on the road

          Yeah whoever designed that was either on drugs, or should have been on drugs. They needed to take more or less drugs. But the correct amount of drugs were not being taken.

          Let stick a car on top of another car, what a great idea.

          Hey !

          The Fiat Multipla looked awful on the outside but it is the most comfortable/functional family car ever.

          The Fiat Multipla deserves some love.

          I want more manufacturers to come up with future forward designs. I just don’t want Elon to be involved in any of it

            I would like to see Ford’s take on the cyber truck, because they actually know how to make a truck. The trouble is the only electric truck they make is the Lightning and it just looks like every other truck they’ve ever made.

      I think it looks like it’s okay. It just goes way over the top at being edgy and different with no real benefit to the new design. I think cars designed the way they currently are, look boring, so I’m all in favor of going in a new direction but the cyber truck is just different for the sake of it, and not in a good way.

      If you’re going to design a new kind of vehicle at least keep the bits of the old design that actually made sense. A flatbed you can actually use, flat roof so you can fit roof racks on it for extra storage, make it out of material that perhaps doesn’t rust, you know the basics.

      I didn’t like it when it was revealed but the design has started to grow on me. Can’t say I love it but I don’t hate it either

    I’ve spent too much time wondering about this design.

    It looks like they really wanted to go for a futuristic look. The problem is they went for something that looked futuristic in the 1990’s.

    If I had rolled up to a Y2K party in a car that looked like it was straight out of, the Minds Eye, Beyond the Mind’s Eye or the original Tron, it would have been badass.

    Now it just looks like he couldn’t get enough GPUs to render them with more polygons.

      I wonder if the design was influenced by Elon Musk? That guy is a Gen Xer manbaby who is mentally stuck in the 1990s, especially after renaming Twitter as X.

        That’s what confuses me. I’m a Gen Xer (whether or not I’m a manbaby is debateable) and that design just looks old to me. Not retro, not nostalgia inducing, just dated.

        I’m pretty sure he renamed the company X just so he could make the logo on those Twitter post embeds look like they are the button to close the post preview. It looks like a modal close button, especially since they put it on the top right, but if you click it, it takes you to twitter, where you are immediately bombarded with pop-ups, login prompts, and just all-around general ass-hattery. Plus now you can’t refer to anything generic as X without people wondering if you’re talking about Xitter or not. It’s dumb, and annoying.

      I can respect someone wanting to make a vehicle with a retro-futuristic look. The problem is that the Cybertruck is so committed to its retro-futuristic look that it neglects being a working vehicle.

        Not to mention that putting supposed bulletproof windows on a vehicle that you may need to break a window to get out of after an accident because everything is electric instead of mechanical is retarded. Oh, and drive by wire steering from a company with a reputation for glitchy software, and hardware? The thing is a death trap.

      I knew I wasn’t the only one thinking this trucks look like a pickup made by Saturn in 1992.

    I don’t think the cybertruk is that good looking but it’s for sure better than the ugly ass car next to it.

    Sorry but in this case I trust the Cyber truck over the equinox for reliability. Underpowered engine, transmission made of glass, and that good ole GM electronic problem they always have? Nah I’ll take the 10000lbs of absolute waste of money over the absolute piece of shit envoy or what ever they pretend to call their equinox.
