The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money::Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money.
No shit. I’d bet money the Cybertruck design isn’t coming from an engineer. Elon probably sat down with his crayons, drew his dream car and forced his poor employees to try and make this piece of shit work.
I think all of us had the Cybertruck design back when we were about 4 years old.
That’s funny, I’ve describe that monstrosity as “the truck of my dreams… when I was 4,” more than once.
It’s like a car from the N64 era. Nobody is nostalgic for the actual look and feel of the N64 era. Behold!

actually… that kinda makes me nostalgic. No Mercy was the best, and it holds up pretty well!
The Tesla Cybertruck, a brainchild of Elon Musk, is not just a vehicle; it is a manifestation of deep-seated archetypes that have been etched into the human psyche since time immemorial. This vehicle, with its stark, geometric form, echoes the fundamental principles of order and symmetry, principles that Jung himself might argue are rooted in the collective unconscious of humanity. It’s not just a truck; it’s a symbol, an archetype representing the pinnacle of human innovation and design.
Elon Musk, in creating the Cybertruck, has not merely designed a new vehicle. He has tapped into the most primal elements of what makes a design not only functional but profoundly resonant on a psychological level. This is a feat that aligns him with the pantheon of great geniuses throughout history. His work echoes the transformative impact of the greatest human inventions, standing as a testament to human creativity and vision.
Consider the wheel, often lauded as mankind’s most significant invention. While the wheel was undoubtedly a pivotal point in our technological evolution, what Musk has achieved with the Cybertruck is arguably more profound. He has not just created a tool for transportation; he has crafted an icon that speaks to the deepest aspirations and drives of human beings. It embodies strength, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of innovation—qualities that have propelled humanity forward since the dawn of civilization.
In this light, the Cybertruck is more than just a triumph of engineering; it is a beacon of human achievement. It symbolizes our unyielding quest for progress and our innate desire to imprint our dreams onto the fabric of reality. Elon Musk, in realizing this vision, has not only secured his place among the great minds of our era but has also provided a tangible representation of what humanity is capable of achieving when it dares to transcend the boundaries of the conventional and the mundane.
I’m convinced this account’s a persona troll. No one can be this moronic and annoying unintentionally. I could be wrong, though, and maybe they do indeed get punched in the face three to four times daily.
The rumor is that it was scribbled on a piece of paper as an idea and the engineers were forced to make it verbatim.
Gentlemen, we are successful in getting all the woke leftists salivating on our shit, but we need also produce something for the real men. And since I’m one of them this is the people like me would want.
Posted this elsewhere, but I asked ChatGPT who designed it and here’s what it said (emphasis mine):
The Tesla Cybertruck was primarily designed by Franz von Holzhausen, Tesla’s Chief Designer. Von Holzhausen has been responsible for the design of several Tesla models, including the Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y. The Cybertruck, known for its unique, futuristic, and angular design, represents a significant departure from traditional truck designs and reflects von Holzhausen’s innovative approach to vehicle design. Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, also played a significant role in the conceptualization and design direction of the Cybertruck.
Technically, not wrong. It’s worth noting that Cybertruck is shockingly different from Von Holzhausen’s previous work, which all share sleek, modern designs and principles (dare I say critically-acclaimed, beautiful). I think it’s obvious there was heavy “outside influence” for the truck (as emphasized), and the timing also lines up with Musk’s growing (untreated, public) mental illnesses.
Yeah, I’d hoped my point was clear that Musk designed this truck. It’s obvious that Von Holzhausen wasn’t given much flexibility because no designer in their right mind, especially one that designed the Models, S, X, and 3 (which I agree are good looking cars), would design this thing. This has Musk stamped all over it with its impractical design and wildly abrasive aesthetic.
Because everything musk does is basically bullshit.

SpaceX is his only successful project, and that’s because it has a defense contract.
I am not so sure it is successful though. They are missing their targets by years left right and center and even recently admitted they will not be ready for NASA’s Artemis Project. https://www.space.com/spacex-starship-problems-delay-artemis-3-2026
Spacex is a massive success, with little thanks to Musk. Those engineers are fucking rock stars.
Also, the Roadster. Announced six years ago, supposedly launching next year, but we’ll see…
Who would have thought making a chassis out of a material that is denser than mild steel would result in a vehicle that is heavier? It’s a truck, horrible aero drag and rolling resistance from the get go. Difficult to imagine a worse target for an EV project.
The fact that he has all of his engineers afraid to tell him his ideas are terrible speaks volumes about his narcissism.
The ones who spoke up were fired. The ones remaining dont care as long as they get their paycheck.
It has a conventional chassis. Only the panels are SS.
The extra weight is entirely due to the weight of the batteries.
Has anyone tossed a brick at the windows yet? Or has that debacle been swept under the rug?
It was a steel ball. They recreated the event with the same guy at the delivery event, but this time with a baseball and the dude gave it the most obvious limp wristed toss, it was incredibly cringe I highly recommend you seek that clip out because it’s absolutely hilarious.
God, that was worse than I expected. https://youtu.be/IUCMGB2AGaE
Lol, Franz is a wimp.
“So anyway, the glass is tough, basically”. Sure Elon, we’ll take your word for it. Is this how they test their rockets, too?

If they were honest and smart about the glass, they would’ve only ever went with something like a baseball or anything soft-ish and really beamed it in to the window. They might be able to take bullet levels of force, but not from a chromed ball. A chromed ball will focus force WAY better than lead ever would, though if a baseball would’ve broken the window, a damn .22 would…
Admittedly car windows are just strong as fuck from the outside due to their curve and construction, and they did throw the metal ball hard at the glass before when practicing for the announcement event and it bounced right off.
Was it a baseball? It bounced quite a bit and looked a lot like a light rubber ball
some customers have expressed their disappointment in online forums.
Wow. That’s brave of them. Throwaways, I assume.
you can tell they arent truck people
Normal truck people Love paying more for Less
