The Delorean fan in me loves the asthetic and used to get jealous.
Cyber trucks being POS deathtraps that basically fall to pieces when you breath on them, their inability to do anything a normal truck can do, and the fact they make you bleed touching an door alleviated that completely.
So thanks for making them embarrassing junkers, Elon.
I almost agree with you, but the subtle changes made from the concept to reality make it not even look cool like it could've
For the comparison.
I don't think you can compare the two really.
Certainly not for use case.
One was a sports car
One is (supposed to be) a pickup truck
But it's clear to me what they were going for asthetically. There's a bunch of people who already did BTTF prop time machine conversions.
That said, I wouldn't buy a cyber truck because they're poorly built, poorly engineered, and unsafe.
Gosh it missed the design mark so bad. It looks like a PlayStation 1 era car.
I get it as far as "they both have angles".
But one actually looks like a car.
The cybertruck has everything up front. Like they designed something, then had to concede that people have to use it, tacked something on, and didn't bother hiding it.
The delorian looks like it was designed with the fact there would be people in mind
Except that Delorean does not equal a Cyber Truck.
I keep hearing that they keep falling apart and catching fire, yet no one links pictures. I have seen exactly one out of the 27 thousand that is claimed to have had a battery fire and looks like it did.
