I feel that. I genuinely want to test drive a Cybertruck. I hear they have great performance and turning. The truck itself is ugly, but the unpainted/primer model you see everywhere is especially bad. I've seen them in black and they don't look as bad, but it's a flat or matte black. As someone who grew up in the 80s, I raged against the curvature of automobiles in the 1990s leading to the 2000s, but the Cybertruck is just too flat. It could use a little bit of curve. It's cool that it exists, being an electric vehicle and computer powered, it's a shame the owner of the company is a tyrant and all that. I don't hate that the Cybertruck exists, but the design team certainly could have let the idea cook a little bit longer.
I would be ashamed to be seen, one, in something that ugly, or to appear to support fascism by driving one. But, I've been a nerd for nearly 50 years. Of course I appreciate those aspects of it, and Tesla (and SpaceX), but the realities of it make it a zero-contact name. I couldn't do it.
