For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

God damn that is ugly
It's not 80's enough to have a cool cyberpunk aesthetic, but if they leaned in to that they could have made something that looked really cool to me and the 12 of us that like that look.
But then the clean interior would immediately lose us. Gotta have a bunch of crap, buttons and nobs and stuff all over the interior. With no less than 4 screens giving you information at any given time.
Work with me here. Picture something like this as the general aesthetic of the car.
Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! THAT is what anything named "cyber" should look like!
What's that?
Knight Rider
CRTs, every one of them. With those old curly phone-cord looking cables coming out the side.
And they function as patch cables to let you pick what displays on each of them by hooking them into the designated port "on the mainframe"
Cable management is the only way to tell what's stock and what's mod, man. That's the look I want.
Ya I'd love something like the cybertruck but not at that price, maybe mix it with a borderlands out runner
I mean, you can get a truck chassis at a you-pull and fabricate your own cyber body if you have the space and sheer force of will...
Or just buy a Jeep Comanche and modify it a bit, Jeep Cherokee/Comanche designs were peak brick.
Shit they only made 200 thousand of the things, what a great little truck though. I think I saw one for sale in the last 5 years locally and they wanted 15k. Not exactly the hobby truck I'm looking for lol
if you want 80s/cool cyberpunk aesthetic you need to go to Hyundai and their Vision 74 concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu1yzLEsc1Q
If they make a wagon in that style I'd sell a kidney
Like if the hunchback of Notre Dame fucked a DeLorean.
From this angle (no pun intended) it looks like the nose fell off.
The front fell off
It's not supposed to do that.
Can you book me a cab?
