The first time I saw a cyber truck on the road in Austin I literally laughed out loud. It was that startling. I’m sure that will fade, but it’s a very comical first impression.
- metadat 3y agoYes, 100% with you. The cybertruck is the ugliest, most offensive looking car I've ever seen. I also LOL'd. My previous comment at the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37935293 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37935293
- avar 3y agoIf you're buying a truck as a fashion accessory you'll care about the look, for anyone else being able to weld or bolt stuff to a sturdy stainless steel frame is a feature.
- mrDmrTmrJ 3y agoI saw one driving down El Camino (Palo Alto CA) and thought it looked great. Respectfully, what generation are you? (Approximately how old are you?) I ask as there are really big difference in how it appeals to different demographics. And all the guys who saw the vehicle with me thought it looked really good. (Admittedly we're former engineering students, so your milage may very...)
- schneems 3y agoI have a mechanical engineering degree, but IDK why that’s relevant. I demographically live in a state with a LOT of trucks and it sticks out, not in a good way. I say this as someone who loves weird car designs. I’m on /r/weirdwheels and I genuinely think the BMW i3 looks fun. I’m okay with funny looking cars that are self aware (like a Prius with a “cool Prius said no one” sticker). But the cyber truck isn’t that, it’s taking itself too seriously it’s trying too hard. Which makes the dissonance funny. I respect your opinion is different, I’m asking you to respect my lived experience too. I guess I’m just not their target audience.
