Tesla's Cybertruck speaks almost poetically to two distinct but orthogonal archetypes of threatened masculinity: the tacti-cool milspec dork, and the showboating rich guy.
Which, genuinely, if it was cheap I wouldn’t care about. If it had no wifi or heated seats, no touchscreen or self driving. If it was just a cheapass vehicle for point a to point b and back, I would not mock it. It would have a place in the world and it would fulfill a purpose.
But currently it’s place in the world is for the people who are unable to touch Elon Musk, but want to caress his face or be stepped on in a masochistic fashion by him. This truck is as close as they can get.
Trucks have been ugly as fuck for at least the last 20 years as emissions standards forced them to be more aerodynamic. I challenge anyone to explain to me the position that an F150 is a good looking vehicle.
The cyber truck is no worse looking than an avalanche and they sold a shit load of those.
It’s also really fucking ugly

I dob’t know but the F150 looks like a piece of art compared to the cybertruck
