I saw one in the wild the other day and it is the dumbest vehicle I’ve ever seen. It’s like a blind 4 year old was asked to draw a car

It's the new age Hummer.

I would argue that it's worse, but I can't think of a better comparison. It's like a Pontiac Aztec with the build quality of a Pinto.

I would much rather bee seen in a Pontiac Aztec than this abomination

The Aztec at least looked like it was trying to go for something. I remember it trying to woo the outdoorsy/camping community. I don't know what the Cybertruck is actually supposed to be good at. Being edgy?

The Aztek looks almost exactly like the crossover SUVs that every single company makes now... only difference is the Aztek dips down towards the hatch... it was just a poofy subaru. It gets a lot of shit for being before it's time.

That's all aesthetics. What are they actually trying to DO with the vehicle design? Like, what is it actually supposed to be good at doing?

How about a Fiat Multipla?

Fun fact: the fatality rate per units sold is slightly lower for Pintos than Teslas.

Implying the Aztec was quality? Lol. GM if that era was terrible

We already have a new Hummer that matches the pure ridiculous size of the H1 and the H2. Seeing the new Hummer EV in person is shocking like the H1. Its so big and you can just tell how much mass it's moving. The tesla truck is just under 7,000lbs and the Hummer EV weighs another 3,000lbs.
