I'm interested in the cybertruck not because it looks agressive but because it's the ultimate "function before form."
99% of cars on the road are ugly anyway, why are we compromising efficiency for the sake of making slightly less ugly cars? I don't want to car to have nice curves, I want it to be cheaper to make. I don't want the paint, I want the frame itself to be rustproof.
- adregan 4y agoWhat do you consider the function of the cyber truck?Isn’t it the opposite? I would consider an extended bed single cab pickup truck to be the ultimate functional truck.
- maximus-decimus 4y agoThe function is a bit more meta that that. It's easier to manufacture because you just fold a giant sheet of metal. You also get rid of all the work and costs associated with painting. In theory this should bring down the price. In terms of user function, the idea of a rustproof car really appeals to me since I live in Ontario and cars get literally covered in a thick layer of salt in the winter. The exoskeleton also allow you to have more room inside. As you probably noticed, I don't care much for it as a truck. I would prefer the same thing as a car, but hey, you gotta start somewhere. Hopefully this will tricked down to cars someday.
