It looks half baked, but I love it. Flat sides, boxy angles, no nonsense interior, tough raw metal stainless panels.
Who started to think cars like this could no longer be made? That they were all being rounded and softened by a common algorithm ?
A car like this makes land rover look unadventurous. I really hope Tesla gets this out on the road here in Aus!
The reason cars tend to look very similar these days, is that fuel efficiency rules mean a lot of design work is done in wind tunnels, and using this data to style cars means similar rounded shapes. Also, when designing a vehicle with a stressed skin, using flat panels rather than curved ones makes them a lot weaker, and even if the skin is not stressed, flat panels are a lot noisier than curved ones, as they will "drum" unless very thick. This means it ends up heavier than it would be with curved panels. And while the extremely low angle windscreen reduces drag, the sharp angles increase it, as do the flat sides.Quote:

Can I get 12 bags of goat poo in the back? Not interested, unless it passes the Goat Poo Test. [emoji1]

Does Tesla Already Have Over 200,000 Cybertruck Reservations?
Wow, obviously no stylists work at Tesla - a 4yo has designed that.
Actually , no a 4 year old designed thisQuote:

Not seeing the failure,
the object failed to penetrate the window...
Seen what happens to a normal car window when you try that on?
I was wondering does a 44 fit under the guards. :lol2:Quote:
