> Does aesthetics add utility to the vehicle? No
If you don't think there wasn't a ton of thought put into the aesthetics of the cybertruck, you don't understand how cars are designed. It's not a design that emerges from pure functionalism at all. Pure functionalism is a bus or a train, a dump truck, or a goods delivery vehicle, like the kind that brings beer to a corner store. I say that as someone who would probably buy a cybertruck.

Leave Oakland out of it. You wouldn't believe it but children play on the streets here without wearing any body armor at all.

- danans 7y ago> I live in Oakland you git I also live in Oakland. And it's my own kids I'm referring to, so I'm not making some kind of hypothetical argument. More importantly, you should avoid personal attacks on HN. It's poor form and trollish. The culture here is to argue, but in in good faith. Calling someone a "git", on top of that from a throwaway account, is not arguing in good faith.
- jdkdnfndnfjd 7y agoAt least I’m honest about it. You try to shut me down by shaming me and insinuating that I’m ignorant. Shame is just as invalid as insults. And I’ve brought a lot more logic to the table than you have.
