Oh! Forgotten to mention earlier! I saw an actual cybertruck while in Lafayette yesterday.

I had to look again to be sure that yes, I did see what I thought I saw.

They look even more hideous in the wild

like the pictures online just do not do them justice

Was yours wrapped or just the bare metal look?

(yours as in the one you saw, obvs)

I will never understand how anyone could think they look good.

the hilarious thing is if they were considerably smaller they probably wouldn't look as bad

Just bare metal, so far as I could see. (I wasn't exactly up close and personal with it.)

like if they were the size of a compact, that design aesthetic wouldn't be too bad.

But as one of the biggest things on the road it's terrible

I can see them being less bad in a smaller version. Less area to spread ugly around in.

also less wasted space in the interior, because they legitimately had no idea what to do with it

Pictures from inside the things are incredibly frustrating just from a design perspective. Like the dashboard is a giant fucking shelf that does nothing.

Could you use all that empty space for storage? Sure, if the cybertruck was designed by someone whose personal traits included a passing resemblance to competency.

They're like giant sized Fisher Price toys except they're also super unsafe and will absolutely kill people

I think I remember something about someone managing to take theirs for a swim and uh, didn't survive the experience. (Because she couldn't get those stupid fucking doors open.)

I mean that also killed Mitch McConnel's sister-in-law, didn't it?

That's probably the very same person.

that was a Tesla car but yeah people have died doing the things the company said the "truck" could do

I wonder if he ever bothered to go for a ride in one.

no idea

lol nope I found yours
An Owner Just Tested Musk’s Claim That The Cybertruc...

also, for posterity, one of my favorite things from Old Twitter:

"Everything Tesla says regarding the wade mode however must be taken with a grain of salt, as such claims by the big boss are not actually covered under Tesla’s warranty. So, to err on the side of safety, and your warranty, we’d suggest you ignore Musk and abide by Tesla's warranty whenever thinking about trying a short dip in your local river."

If I go for a dip in a river, it'll be in a swimsuit, and not a car.
