Looks like a hotwheels car. Makes sense, considering the target audience
Hey now, that’s kinda harsh. Cybertruck owners have feelings too!
(J/k, have at it!)
If CD Projekt RED sold horse armor this thing would definitely be something you could pay $10 to drive around Night City.
I like the look. Don’t like Musk. It isn’t a truck, it’s a sedan.
I saw one in the wild yesterday. Illegally in a handicap spot, of corse.
I am still aghast every time I see one.
I’m morbidly curious about the person who owns this abomination. He must be an arsehole of Saudi prince or Russian oligarch magnitude. I’m sure whoever it is also single-handedly maintains Ed Hardy’s profit margin.
me too! i still audibly gasp when i encounter one. lol
At least he has the good sense to paint over the “stainless” steel body panels.
It arguably fails on even more levels as a sedan than it does as a truck. You can’t even use the rearview mirror when the bed cover is closed.
I like that color, it’s obnoxious.
This is for Fortnite, right?
lime green is actually my favorite color, my living room is painted lime green and i’m currently drinking out of a lime green tumbler. but i hate it on the cyberbeast. or maybe i just hate the cyberbeast so much that nothing, not even my favorite color, helps.
The Cyberbeast does nothing predictably or repeatably.
As I said about the dual-motor Cybertruck, this thing feels like it had zero development drivers behind the wheel. It’s a rolling Excel spreadsheet, not a true, vetted consumer product.
Also from the Motor Trend article.
So this won’t be for sale in Europe either. Phew.
Apropos of Russians in cybertrucks; even Ramzan Kadyrov stuck to the (relatively) tasteful move of just adding a machine gun in the back. I assume that everyone in the audience was still laughing in Hilux; but practically an austere functionalist take by comparison to this…thing.
Best case scenario it was just another expensive rich-person prank, but we probably aren’t that lucky.
So it has harsh angles which preclude crumple zones and build quality on par with a Trabant.
Me too! It’s kind of amazing that you can wrap something in my favorite color (so acid, so obnoxious!) and I still hate it.
