    Probably an unpopular opinion, but I respect Tesla for actually building something that looks like the concept. Modern vehicles all look too similar.

      i get what you’re saying generally, but specifically that’s like saying deodorants smell too similar so i commend gary for shitting his pants and walking around with a distinct odor.

      There’s usually a good reason that concept cars aren’t mass produced as-is. In the cybertruck’s case, it’s many reasons, which were all ignored.

        Just for novelty’s sake, I really appreciate them following through it (kinda, since they adjusted the cybertruck dimensions a little bit)

          It’s the new gold standard for douchebag detection, so I guess I appreciate that about the design.

        hmm, seems like that has to have a name where you try to simplify something but you slowly realize why each piece was needed. Best I could find is “Chesterton’s Fence”.

        There’s an unwritten rule in the remote Australian Outback. When traversing vast cattle farms on endless gravel roads, every once in a while, you might come across a seemingly random gate. The rule is to leave the gate as you found it. If it’s open, keep it that way. If it’s closed, shut it behind you. The reason is simple: You shouldn’t make assumptions about the gate’s purpose. That’s essentially the idea behind Chesterton’s Fence, a principle everyone in the business of enacting change should know.

      So on top of everything else, it’s way too big? What a profoundly stupid vehicle 🤦

      So… It’s the size of a truck, but has that downslopped top that won’t allow you to put any cargo into it?

      Is there any way to make stuff fit in it? Or it can only be used as a sedan?

          Ok, I’ve looked and I have to say… that one is kinda cool.

          Would I want it? No, I wouldn’t. Is it cool enough to make up for the rest of the design? No way. But it’s cool.

      maybe they’re small? the ones I’ve seen only come up to my shoulder.

      Sorry about that. Fixed it.
