I don't think the Cybertruck's styling is truly groundbreaking. It looks to me like a simplified and exaggerated version of the Lamborghini Countach's angular bodywork. And I'm not even particularly interested in cars, so that's just a famous example I happened to know, not the oldest. See this earlier work (1968) from the Countach's designer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_Carabo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_Carabo Maybe it goes back even earlier than that.

> I don’t think the Cybertruck’s styling is truly groundbreaking. Oh, I agree with you. It’s not the style per se, that I’m referring to here, so that was a poor choice of words on my part. I’m referring to the overall package, the new product as an offering in the truck market. I mean, the majority of people targeted here for this truck are at a loss for words. They literally don’t know what to make of it. These are people who are happy to choose between a typical, mainstream 4x4 style. But when given this choice, they loose the ability to speak. Have you noticed this phenomenon? This is what I’m talking about.
