      For real. Who ever actually thought this thing was aesthetically appealing?

        Me against my better judgement, but now I'm seeing why all the ads showed it in a broad expanse of desert: this shit looks goofy next to anything normal

            People don't talk enough about just how ugly almost every car actually is. I assume it's partially just because the car body needs to fit to the actual machinery inside it, but most cars have really overdone styling that exists for no functional purpose. At least the cybertruck doesn't have a ton of pointless detailing. So many cars seem like they're just random bumps and lines for no reason.

              Cars look largely the same as each other now not because of mechanical limitations, you can move the engine around if you like, and the frame can be pretty much whatever shape you want it to be. The big limitation is safety standards. There are only so many ways you can engineer a metal and plastic box to meet all the various requirements.

      it'll fit in pretty well among the throng of lifted F350s rolling coal
