So is this thing actually called a "Cybertruck"? Because that sounds like something my 7-year-old would come up with. I hadn't really given it much thought until now...

That's how Musk names everything. He loves the letter X, he named the Tesla models "S", "3", "X", and "Y", the Cybertruck, his five most recent children including "Techno Mechanicus"... He's absolutely unfit to be in charge of anything.

Oh my fucking word, it's true

If this was 40k, Techno Mechanicus would be an amazing name 😂

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It'd still be a job title

[–] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, true that

Wow I never realized the letters/numbers for the Tesla models spells "sexy" in l33t5p34k

He wanted the E instead of 3 but I think GM had the trademark on it.

It also looks like someone drew the initial plans for it in crayon on a napkin, so that checks out.

I can't see it without seeing Homer Simpson in that car he designed.

Musk being childish and you've only realised now? What hole have you been in (and is there space for one more?)?

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh no, I know Musk is childish. This was just the first time I thought about the name "Cybertruck."

The glass punch during presentation was the sign of things to come.

Yeah, that's probably how my 7-year-old would pronounce it.
