my real issue is that I believe it's trying to solve problems that don't exist.
The entire project, at its heart, seems like design self-indulgence, a masturbatory creation for one, rather than the practical application of vehicle design for the many.
There are a lot of practical issues with the car which I find just dumb and I personally love the way it looks so I find these issue really disappointing.
Need a replacement wiper? Can't be towed. A screen is required to see out the back window. Regular tires look like shit, how do I get winter tires? It's bullet proof, but it's not really bullet proof...
It feels a lot like "The Homer" on The Simpsons.

- Vecr 3y agoMany cars (crossovers and SUVs, really) have screens as their rear view "mirror" now, because you can't see out the back well enough with an actual mirror. The old "aerodynamic" streamlined cars got it wrong, you really want the front of the car to be blunter than the rear, so I assume that's something to do with it.
- cogman10 3y agoFor cyber truck, it's blocked by the bed cover so you can't see out it 99% of the time.
- kcplate 3y agoJust bought a new vehicle a few months ago, the rear view mirror can also act as a “rear view screen”. My first inclination was to just use it as a mirror, but after a few months I use the screen most of the time now and prefer it. Wider angle view and if the back is packed to the roof, I still have unobstructed view. So where I probably would have been negative on this a few months ago, I don’t think this would be a deal killer for me now.
