It's not just the first not-ugly Tesla, but it is culturally appropriate product. I don't know if it will be a successful product but this thing will be in museums.
You know the Apple's famous ad:
"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
Musk fits that perfectly. With all his faults, he has some answers(some good, some not so) but more importantly he has risen some questions and this particular vehicle is a question on design.
The world is changing, mostly for the worse and its time to ask questions so we can have answer on how to have a new normal that is better than the one before everything started crumbling.
- noitpmeder 3y agoBeauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'd say the Tesla Roadster is pretty not-ugly to me! I don't think the cybertruck is "pushing the human race forward" in any capacity. It's a unique looking truck, big whoop. The only museum it'll be in is Elon's mausoleum.
- mrtksn 3y ago> I don't think the cybertruck is "pushing the human race forward" in any capacity I suspect, It can have the iPhone effect on the car design the upcoming years. When it's radical enough, the boilerplate doesn't work and makes you ask the fundamental questions that boilerplate was keeping you from asking because it was good enough. The answer might not necessarily be "Cybertruck", it can even be public transport but just the fact that it strays far away from the current state is enough to push humanity forward.
- bovermyer 3y agoWhy did you ignore the article?
- mrtksn 3y agoBecause I don't think Musk's collapse of society paranoia is something I would like to discuss. The designs says it, that's why I don't directly address the article.
- frompdx 3y ago> not-ugly Tesla I tell ya I gotta disagree. It is a boxy and weird looking thing. It's how I'd imagine a PS1 era graphic of a first generation Honda Ridgeline (also ugly).
- mrtksn 3y agoI know the meme but I disagree. Actually, the boxy design is not even completely new trend - the European manufacturers like Audi, Opel, Peugeot already updated their designs to more boxier and sharper ones. Tesla Cybertruck however, goes all the way.
