I have very little interest in electric vehicles, Tesla, Elon Musk, etc. But I still think the Cybertruck, at least the design, looks awesome. It looked like something you'd see in the "Another World" or "Out of this World" intro cinematic.

Agreed. I see it as the successor to the angular style of the Lamborghini Countach, which far more people are willing to admit looks cool.

I also think the design is rad.

Doesn’t the new ~flying car have similar design vibes?

For an "unwanted" truck, I sure see a lot of them on the road.

As with most marketing gimmicks, they have little to no value outside of their insane marketing.

I kept thinking the design was going to grow on me as I saw more of them on the road, but nope. I still think it looks unbelievably ugly. I do not think it looks like something that you'd see in Another World, it looks more like something I would have designed when I was fourteen playing with Lightwave.

Personally, I think it looks like a silver dumpster.

To those that downvoted, I’m sorry my opinion offended you.
