I actually like the way the cyber truck looks. Shame it was made by a malicious idiot.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Agree. I know WHY most cars are suppository shaped, I just wish there was greater variety

That's the way I feel, I don't like the cyber truck but I'm glad it exists in a sort of homes Simpson car is possible sort of way

I want more manufacturers to come up with future forward designs. I just don’t want Elon to be involved in any of it

I would like to see Ford's take on the cyber truck, because they actually know how to make a truck. The trouble is the only electric truck they make is the Lightning and it just looks like every other truck they've ever made.

I think it looks like it's okay. It just goes way over the top at being edgy and different with no real benefit to the new design. I think cars designed the way they currently are, look boring, so I'm all in favor of going in a new direction but the cyber truck is just different for the sake of it, and not in a good way.

If you're going to design a new kind of vehicle at least keep the bits of the old design that actually made sense. A flatbed you can actually use, flat roof so you can fit roof racks on it for extra storage, make it out of material that perhaps doesn't rust, you know the basics.

Exactly, I remember seeing news articles like this and thinking "well all modern cars look similar, its not that creative of a design to 'steal'"

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I didn't like it when it was revealed but the design has started to grow on me. Can't say I love it but I don't hate it either
