Jim Skelly Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I saw one last week and it looks even worse than in the photos since it is life size. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw two up close on a business trip to the west coast. One had a tan colored wrap on it and that really looked awful. The other was stock and passed me on the freeway. It was horrible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John348 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I have seen several, besides having the looks of an armored car they are MASSIVE vehicles. Not for me either, but as they say "there is an ass for every seat" People did buy the Pontiac Aztec's 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have modern technology without it looking like warmed-over hell. I think the Cybertruck stylists are stuck in preschool, because it looks like a vehicle a preschooler would draw. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John348 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) One thing you can say about it is, that it stands out from all of the other "Jellybean" looking new cars, and you do know what it is when you see it. Good or bad it does make an impression. The first time I say one I did have a "What the f...is that thing?" moment Edited June 29 by John348 (see edit history) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 If you plan to rob a bank, better choose a different getaway vehicle. The Cybertruck might be a little too easy to spot. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John348 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) May we all live long enough to see one on the show field and be able to bitch about it being there. Don't say none will be around, because some of the cars we see now on the field I did not think back in the day would last 10 years let alone 25 and 30 years Edited June 29 by John348 (see edit history) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDevil Posted June 29 Author Share Posted June 29 To TAKerry's point I see these responses as a confirmation of our appreciation, devotion and commitment to the antique car hobby and equally our distain of mindless, unproven trends.

Fordy Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Just what non-prescription medications is Elon taking? He has so much money that he is living in gaga land. Just because he can doesn't justify the existence of that abomination. Did the overturn of "Rowe vs Wade" ban termination of bad design too?

rocketraider Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 3 hours ago, Fordy said: Did the overturn of "Rowe vs Wade" ban termination of bad design too? Apparently not.🙂 Reminds me of a high school friend whose 16 year old son got into the "bustin' a sag" clothing style in the 90s. It was a big point of contention between them. Marv asked the boy why he wanted to go around with his underwear showing all the time and the kid said "It's the style daddy. Didn't you want to be in style when you were in high school?" Marv thought a minute and told the kid "Yah, we were in style. It was bad style but we was in it." As a child of the 70s who wore some of those styles, I resemble that! I had a loudass jacked-up Oldsmobile too, which I also have some regrets about. Yup. We were in style. But that still doesn't excuse the way the Cybertruck looks. How do you see out the back of it anyway? And where is its pickup bed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1935Packard Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 It's a polarizing design, but I do appreciate the engineering advances that went into pulling it off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) Mechanical efficiency is a thing of beauty in it,s own right. A D 10 Cat can,t be accused of being beautiful nor can a R-2800 Radial engine, but stand next to either one when it,s fired up and you can,t help but be awed by it,s function. So, while the CT doesn,t follow the herd in styling it,s form does seem well suited to it,s EV function........bob Edited June 30 by Bhigdog (see edit history) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Trucker Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) Must be a real slow weekend everywhere. Why aren't y'all out enjoying your old cars, bad weather? At least you could be doing a little maintenance in the garage, or even in the house. Take your wife shopping and drop into the pub for a cool one. Must be something out there that could occupy you. Take the grandkids to an amusement park. Edited June 30 by Crusty Trucker (see edit history) 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Let's be honest, the guy is mega rich and not quite living in the real world. Since he has several rug rats, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that one of his kids drew the basic design and followed it up with "make this for me daddy". It's an abomination and I am surprised that it has customers. Steve 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
