This one was sticking way out into the parking lot. Apart from being associated with Musk, this just seems like such an ungainly vehicle

There's a black one I saw downtown a few weeks ago... They really do look worse in person

I must be a weirdo, because I think they look kind of cool IRL, or at least interesting because of their uniqueness. I would never buy one, but I don't hate their appearance IRL.

O saw one for the first time IRL where I live and gotta say, it looks worse IRL. It looks like Musk got the idea to make not that shape after playing an early 3D fighting game on PS1. Hell, that would be an insult to those types of games.

Wonder what it's going to look like next spring after the winter road salt gets to it.

My neighbor has one that he parked outside under a tree. Lo and behold a spot of rust appeared on the rear quarter panel after about two weeks of ownership. He promptly wrapped the thing in purple/green perlescent which looks exactly as good as you'd imagine. Thankfully he parks it in the garage now so I only have to see it occasionally.

I always make sure to point and laugh if I ever see one in the wild.

Catch em while you can. I think they're kind of falling apart.

Total eclipse of the truck

I finally saw one IRL a couple weeks ago, and was pretty surprised at how large they are. Pictures don't really convey their size.

Been seeing them a lot. There was one at a farm/apple orchard the other day. Dunno I like em.
