The Cybertruck is very carefully designed to hide a lot of it's structural components. It's designed to look "brutal", but it's not brutalist. It is very carefully designed to look a certain way.
A brutalist truck would be something like a Land Rover Defender, or in the concept car world something like the trucks from Bollinger Motors.
A brutalist truck does not use internal hinges that are hidden from sight; a brutalist truck just has bolted on hinges.
A brutalist truck does not have elaborate LED lighting seamlessly integrated below the hood. A brutalist truck just has lights bolted on somewhere.

- spectramax 7y agoForm follows function is not quite Brutalist philosophy. I maybe wrong but then I look at all the Brutalist architecture and see a lot of things that have no functional use. Just go to Google images and search Brutalist architecture.
