Lara Croft, obviously…
It’s unfortunate because I think we need way more weird looking cars. Creative, just out there shaped vehicles of all kinds. It sucks that the company to do it was an unethical garbage fire led by a fascist. We deserve more ugly and weird heterogeneous consumer items.
I like that idea. But not from Space Karen.
Since cars are a neccessity for most buyers to move from a to b, they are optimized to use as less energy as possible for it (running costs the manufacturer can’t profit from). Which lead to airstream optimized vehicles, all looking about the same.
Ironically, since they are also still a status symbol for a lot of people, they got bigger and bigger, leading to heavyweight Van’s, SUVs and “trucks” being more common, using more energy/fuel than is saved with the optimized surface.
You know, like this:
Good point. Ironically there have been a lot of smaller than usual, efficient vehicles that have been banned or not sold in my country. I don’t think they were weird looking, but it does go to show how the factors that go into what cars show up on roads are not always logical. I wonder if we had a more competitive market with more manufacturers if we’d have more exciting shapes or colors. Prices would probably have to come down for people to buy them though. I saw a video a while back about car paint colors having a moment with matte paint and I thought, this is cool but also stunningly boring as far as trends go.
My brain doesn’t want to accept it as a photo. It looks more like a screenshot from the Perfect Dark level Chicago.
Even test drive 3 has more polygons than the cybertruck, I really can’t find a game car that looks worse.
Nah, that’s got more polygons, and it’s even painted!
Woah major flashback
It’s hardly a fair comparison. One is garbage and unable to withstand the elements without becoming a rust bucket and the other is a waste basket.
let me get a spray bottle of water and we can see which one catches fire
They both seem to perform the same function, as receptacles for trash.
Can’t fool me.
EVERYTIME I look at it I spot a new flaw, how is this even possible, I’m not even being memey, I’m just so shocked, how something so terrible could ever be released? how long did they work on that? 10 minutes???
Honestly, I sort of suspect that Elon Musk took some crayons and printer paper, drew this up and told the designers “exactly like this!”
But my son drew a Cybertruck because he’s 7 and his picture looked better than what Tesla made.
the ketamine probably doesn’t help in leon’s case

“They’re the same”
Why even have the peak? Are cone heads their targeted customer? It’s certainly not for aerodynamics.
Definitely Trashbot.
At least the trashcan is useful.
Ugh, we’re still at this? Folks that claim to have their eyes melt out of their face every time they see a Cybertruck sure spend a lot of time posting pictures of them online.
I see about 100 of these hurr-durr cybertruk dum posts for every one I see out on the road. Funny that 99% of the Cybertruck I see is coming from the “haters”.
I envy your location that you don’t see as many as I do. They are appalling in person. They don’t seem real.
A family member was somewhat interested and complimented the bold design… Then he saw it in person and no longer has anything good to say.
I liked it in pictures, honestly thought it was really cool and didn’t want to admit it.
But then I finally saw one this summer up close and personal and it’s just really bad. Like bad bad. Like they had tons of ways they could have made this sharper box design good, and they didn’t try.
I see plenty of them around here on the road, but I also see endless regurgitating of this shit online. I kinda get it what it’s boomers on Facebook, but I expect the Lemmy crowd to get tired of the same joke after seeing it the nth time. Guess I place too much confidence in you all.
The worst fate a car that begs for attention can suffer is fading to obscurity. Why keep giving Elon all the attention and engagement he wants? Ignore the stupid thing.
You’ve never seen one in person have you? You’ve never read the seemingly endless laundry list of issues they have, have you?
I have, and the Cybertruck is just as terrible, ugly, and ridiculously expensive as they say. The ongoing memes are to educate people why they shouldn’t even consider buying them, and to get a sad chuckle at the fools that actually did buy them.
Dude talking like he’s never even heard of Schadenfreude… Not only is it cathartic, but it’s educational if you pay attention to what people are making fun of.
What to learn from the cybertruck? That billionares are fucking morons and that the meritocracy is a lie. They, in fact, do not deserve their wealth. Any of them, but especially not Elongated Muskrat.
I also don’t care for the cybertruck but “educating” people on forums is a weird thing to do.
Lol, coming from a whole gaggle who can’t stop but breathlessly “educating” others why the Cybertruck is terrible.
I’m on your side, it’s fucking horrendous. But Jesus, it was clearly designed to grab attention. Why keep giving Elon what he wants?
As the saying goes, “the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference.”
Elon/Tesla designed this truck to be controversial, to generate discussion, and engagement. The best way to disengage from exactly what this thing was designed to do is not to meme about it, it’s to ignore it completely.
Point to me on this doll where the Cybertruck touched you.
The more I see these posts the more I think this was the strategy. They figured it doesn’t matter how dumb or ugly it is, in fact, that’s a good thing because it draws so much attention. I don’t see many on the road but man it sure is fucking noticeable when I do.
