Just learned what a Tesla cybertruck looks like. It’s comical. I think Elon must have presented the designers with a crayon drawing he made when he was 6 years old, and said ‘this, but in silver’.
It's literally The Homer from a 35 year old Simpsons episode
Seeing that episode when it aired, as compared to seeing it now, with two kids in the car....hits different. It's genius.
Is there anyone who thinks it looks cool?
Cyptobros and Tatertots. Elon-Suckups and NFT-buyers. I think that covers the Cyber truck buyers.
‘Tatertots’ - love it! I’m stealing that, it’s perfect 😂
@Seagoon_ People who can’t see Mad Max is fiction (or wish it wasn’t)
Not only does it look dumb af, it is also so very poorly made. Like the designers saw all the improvements to cars made over the last 70years and threw it all out. Brake issues, everything is fragile, no sensors for the boot (it will literally chop ya fingers off if you get them caught when it's closing), the windshield isn't safety glass, etc. It's just a shitshow. I don't understand how they can be driven legally here; they're a deathtrap.
@StudChud @SituationCake Amen. And while we're at it, let's also put the boot in and twist the knife, on blinding headlights, please and thankyou.
What the hell happened to quality, science, etc?
Elon knows nothing about science, or anything of substance, he's a true nepo-baby cunt surrounded by yesmen.
Agree. I'm torn though, because for all his massive faults and huge I'm a dick-ness, he has pushed space technology forward at a time when it was stagnating.
@calhoon2005 @StudChud @melbourne He put up the cash to do it, but it's been Gwynne Shotwell running the show day-to-day, and the really smart engineers and rocket scientists reporting to her who have done all the work.
Now.
If you want to see what happens when Elon's in charge directly, just look at what's happened to Twitter since he bought it.
Yes. Agree.
@StudChud @calhoon2005 at a massive human cost (look up deaths lost limbs etc for SpaceX) all for huge personal not public gain.
I would rather have freaking slower progress@calhoon2005 @StudChud ahh the unhomed millions must feel nice and cosy at the thought of some space technology
Look up the history of the Ford Pinto sometime. Car makers.
@Thornburywitch @StudChud The Pinto was a car so awful that it made Ralph Nader a national public figure. But that's a whole different story — we're talking about dodgy cars, and not dodgy election systems that don't have preferential voting.
