To me, it's not even just about what it looks like. It's what it represents. One cyber truck, if were unique, could be a legitimately cool work of art. But as a mass-market vehicle it's just ridiculous.

Like, if there was only one cyber truck, and it was something a local gearhead had welded up in his garage, I would legitimately respect it as a cool and unique work of artistic expression. It would show that they have creativity and are willing to make a bold statement to the world.

But if you just buy one of thousands of cyber trucks that exist in the world? That no longer represents your original creative expression. That just represents having bad taste and having poor personal finance skills.

Building your own art car is cool. If Ford decides to start making them by the millions, then that would just be sad.

It should have been just one made for elon to drive around in. I'd still laugh though.
