Unpopular opinion - I like the look & the idea of the Cybertruck. I think it’s a cool looking vehicle. I like the design and the concept of an edgy light-duty electric pickup truck.

I’d never buy one - they’re too expensive, have way too many issues, and Musk is a fucking chode. But I take issue with people who call it “ugly.”

Personally, I think most “traditional” pickup trucks are ugly. The F150, Ram, Silverado? Those are at the very best - boring. They’re definitely not attractive. At least the Cybertruck is a fresh concept for a pickup.

I recently bought a Hyundai Ioniq 5. It shares a couple design elements of the Cybertruck- simple polygons, angular, sharp edges. Obviously not nearly as extreme, but if a more reliable & less shithead-led company released a wildly / surreally designed vehicle similar to the Cybertruck, I’d consider it.

If it was a little tiny electric car like a Nissan Leaf that was 'edgy' and didn't have Elon as CEO I could totally see myself getting one.
It still looks cool, just costs too much, doesn't deliver, and has Elon at the controls. Cringey, but cool.

Have a look at the Nismo Leaf, its only a set of wheels and lowering springs off being cool.
