A Tesla Cybertruck owner says there is a concerted effort to publicly shame people who drive the all-electric truck. He recounts several instances where people pointed and laughed at him while driving his Cybertruck.
Like, even ignoring Musk’s whole everything now, it’s just one of the ugliest vehicles ever designed. Regular Teslas at least look okay if you ignore Musk himself, but the cybertruck looks like they just took a particularly untalented 1st grader’s drawing of a vehicle and just went “Make that”
There was this great meme going around years ago when the truck was announced that had a crayon drawing of it and “by Elon” written shakily in big letters like a child would use. I’ll see if I can find a link.
I actually like the general look of it, though it’s done poorly. I want SO MUCH to drive a low-poly vehicle reminiscent of some 80’s retrofuturism racing video game. But I fear the massive failure of the cyber truck will scare anyone away from taking a stab at the concept.
For the love of god don’t look it up. If you’ve made it this far without hearing it, just count your blessings. It’s worse than you can possibly imagine.
It was pretty cringe, the lyrics were god awful and they were way too liberal with the auto tune. Thankfully Elon is so unimaginative that he couldn’t think of more than one verse for his war crime of a song so there weren’t any surprises after ~10 seconds in. I would say the warning was justified, but a little overstated. I thought we were gonna be on Angelic 2 the Core levels of bad and it was just Friday bad. My relationship with my curiosity remains the same. As long as it isn’t (real) gore, I’ll probably click on it

You can also download the image and repost it to a lemmy instance like I’m doing here … then no one has to go back to the old site

The Hyundai Vision N 74 concept is a much better take on 80s retrofuturism imo.
I’m just impressed that Elon finally made something worse than the Harambe rap.
the what

You have no idea how much pain I’m willing to inflict on myself in order to get the reference. Your warning has been heard, but it will not be heeded
Edit: oof
So, now that you have the benefit of hindsight, what do you think? Was the warning justified? Is your relationship with curiosity still the same?
