The decision to halt production of Tesla’s polarizing polygonal pickup marks the end of an error.
Elon Musk, in a post on X, has officially called time on the Cybertruck, stating that “Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production.”
Produced for less than four years, the polarizing pickup is seemingly dying as it lived, with the news being greeted in a flurry of replies in praise of the EV as well as deriding it. James Star, claiming to be a Tesla employee, posted that it was “the saddest news! Cybertruck (was) the best car Tesla sold,” right next to a user called Captain Ford who simply replied to Musk with “Fuck that shitbox.”
How can people find straight edges attractive is beyond me
That and those straight edges kill pedestrians, like they just cut right into them when you have that much force, it’s unavoidable.
Consider the average hood of a minivan. It’s a giant-ass vehicle. It could definitely kill people easily, but the hood is sloped, and the bumper is low, and all the corners are very rounded, making it much safer for pedestrians should a collision occur.
Yeah the whole car is a safety hazard
it’s different than all the other cars on the road, that is a big part of the appeal.
So are a lot of cars, for 100k or whatever that shit box costs you could buy or restore a lot of cars that look different that’s on the road
any specific examples of in production cars that are not just aerodynamically optimized boxes?
