Imagine being so dumb you manage to turn that kind of momentum into the electric Edsel

IDK, the Edsel was at least reasonably priced.

I also don’t think the Cybertruck’s aestetics are going to age the same way Edsel’s has.
Even placed in de universe of Cyberpunk, where it’s allegedly from, it really is mostly just a dumpster with wheels.

I saw some Chinese company had done a reskin or replica of the cyber truck body but actually made it look kinda cool, like something you’d actually expect to find in a film.
It just showed what an abject failure Musk is, as it’s the only car he had a hand in designing…
Replying to @locahosr443@lemmy.world
Oh yeah. I’ve definately seen some renders that make it look quite nice, but they do that by adding a bunch of elements to it like skirts, extended wheel arches, spoilers, light bars, paint and lower it to the point you can’t use it as a truck anymore.
But then it also really stops being what it origionally was.

The idea that anyone used one as a truck, or that it could even reasonably be used as one is pretty laughable.
But if I was a man child who wanted a toy car the Chinese one at least looks less like a bin on wheels. carscoops.com/…/gacs-cybertruck-inspired-pickup-l…

I mean, most people don’t use trucks as trucks.
