What struck me was how ungodly huge it is, for basically no reason. There was one outside of Costco with people trying to get some huge thing to fit in the bed. It didn't go well. They already had it loaded by the time I walked into the store and they were still there putting ratchet straps on it when I left 30 minutes later.

It's like looking at a texture that hasn't fully rendered or something, just visual blur despite the sharp edges

I saw one in person the other day and physically uncomfortable is a good description. I was trying to describe it to my friends who have only seen pictures and I couldn't stop laughing because it's so much dumber looking in real life. Really just horrible.

Couple of weeks ago I saw several, all parked next to each other, in a parking lot. Assumed it was some car club, or people going to some car event. Anyway, seeing them all lined-up like that, made me realize just how out of place they looked. They looked fake, like mock-ups, or something. It was weird. I have seen a lot of very highly stylized cars, lots of specialty vehicles designed for industrial, and military, use and never have I gotten that vibe. The only other time I got the same feeling was when one of the Nolan batman movies was being filmed near where I worked, and they had the "bat" vehicles parked in a private lot I passed, on my way to work. Getting to see them up close, and in person, really made it clear that they were fake vehicles, that required distance, and editing/cgi, to look real.

Homer's car was pretty cool...

• two bubble domes, with muzzles and restraints in the back
• shag carpet
• tailfin and metal bowler hood ornament
• three horns to play the song "La Cucaracha".
• gigantic cupholders (which actually became a feature on many cars in the 1990s onward)

There's trying something different, and there's just throwing shit at the design board.

Some ideas might have been worth exploring, but that would have required an actual design team.

I'm glad those menaces aren't legal over here.

It fails in every way it can. It's dangerous and there's plenty of stories of it breaking down several miles from the lot. No paint means that it will rust. Apparently you can get a clear coat added to it but it costs 5k. It's massive and even though it's a truck the bed is too small to really do much. Not having a normal steering wheel and all the controls being on the screen means you are constantly looking away from the road while driving. These are just the issues I remember off the top of my head. It was some manchild with too much money's random idea that never should have been made.

There is only one by me that I see somewhat regularly, and oh what a trash bin it really is in person....

But yeah, don't see a lot here. I do live in a progressive area, but we are surrounded by farmland and maga outside the the townships into the more rural parts of the county. The cyber truck isn't something a farmer is going to ever touch since it's garbage for actual truck tasks, it's a very specific pavement princess vehicle. Around here they actually use their trucks.

I’ve only seen one or two a month so far on days when I’m out, in an area where I see multiple Teslas a day when I’m out. It does seem like the number is increasing, but slowly.
