I mostly agree about the cybertruck. It's a stupid vehicle that shouldn't exist, but it looks cool.

I said before and I still think that the Cybertruck looks fine, it's the knowledge that it's a $100k luxury vehicle loaded with bazinga features that they intentionally made in small numbers so that they wouldn't have to meet safety standards that makes me hate it.

But if the whole car market could move over to visually distinct designs instead of streamlined aerodynamic pods, I would be ecstatic.

Unironically electric vehicles will bring these back. Much of the 'streamlining' is for fuel efficiency, so as we move away from fossil fuels we can get cool cars back.

Purely visually, it looks cool, in theory. But after having seen one in person it's like.... The wrong size somehow? Like, idk how big it should be, or what the proportions shouldbe like? But whatever they are, is fucking wrong.
