The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money::Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money.
No shit. I’d bet money the Cybertruck design isn’t coming from an engineer. Elon probably sat down with his crayons, drew his dream car and forced his poor employees to try and make this piece of shit work.
The Satisfactory version is far better, square wheels and all.
There was reporting recently that the engineers hated it so much they designed a reasonable one in their free time
The rumor is that it was scribbled on a piece of paper as an idea and the engineers were forced to make it verbatim.
So does this count as another “Simpsons predicted this” moment after Homer basically does the same thing?
Gentlemen, we are successful in getting all the woke leftists salivating on our shit, but we need also produce something for the real men. And since I’m one of them this is the people like me would want.
If someone rolled up in that, I’d not consider them anything but a “real sucker”.
“A weak man’s idea of a strong man” comes to mind.
I think all of us had the Cybertruck design back when we were about 4 years old.
It’s like a car from the N64 era. Nobody is nostalgic for the actual look and feel of the N64 era. Behold!

actually… that kinda makes me nostalgic. No Mercy was the best, and it holds up pretty well!
Posted this elsewhere, but I asked ChatGPT who designed it and here’s what it said (emphasis mine):
Technically, not wrong. It’s worth noting that Cybertruck is shockingly different from Von Holzhausen’s previous work, which all share sleek, modern designs and principles (dare I say critically-acclaimed, beautiful). I think it’s obvious there was heavy “outside influence” for the truck (as emphasized), and the timing also lines up with Musk’s growing (untreated, public) mental illnesses.
Yeah, I’d hoped my point was clear that Musk designed this truck. It’s obvious that Von Holzhausen wasn’t given much flexibility because no designer in their right mind, especially one that designed the Models, S, X, and 3 (which I agree are good looking cars), would design this thing. This has Musk stamped all over it with its impractical design and wildly abrasive aesthetic.
I thought your point was “Look at what random snippets a language model collected off the internet”.
