Maybe it’s the retro-futuristic style or reminiscent of sci-fi and cyperpunk, but I genuinely really like the design.

I would never buy one due to the MYRIAD issues plaguing the stainless steel body, interior build quality, or give Tesla money. But still a cool looking car, if nonfunctional truck.

    IDK about the Cybertruck, but I’m not aware of an inherent reason why a car that has lots of sharp angles would have less crumple zone. It just metal sheets, it’s literally what’s on the inside that counts.

      I’m pretty sure I heard/read about it in the past. I did some searching and found that it’s highly likely that my statement has been debunked.

      So I stand corrected!

      Which isn’t to say that I dont hate the damn thing. I still hope they all rust.

        No, you’re still right in effect. It might have some crumple, but it performs terribly compared to real cars. The only thing that remotely saves it sorta’-kinda’ is it weighs a fuckton.

          That’s due to its idiotic execution, though, not because it’s fundamentally impossible to build its outside shape with a decent crumple zone.

            Its idiotic execution is reality. Some hypothetical execution by a non-neonazi moron is not the reality we live in.
