That was why I wondered if it was some kind of regional thing. Personally, I think they are butt-ugly that no paint job could fix (though I wonder if a "dazzle" camo might look good) and I concluded there are three types of customers for Cybertrucks:
- Electric car aficionados who would buy any kind of EV pickup truck
- People who would buy anything that Musk produces
- People who see a really butt-ugly vehicle, and conclude it has to be good at what it does, otherwise it would never sell
By the way, the "dazzle" camo paint job makes almost any kind of warship look more "war-like", maybe it would work on a cybertruck to make it look more, well..."truck-like".
There was a British warship a few years back that entered service, and I didn't find anything at all war-like or threatening about it, and I thought putting camo on it might make it more so, and here is the before:
And here is the after:
It does make it seem more war-like and capable!
I agree the cyber trucks are ugly - but I’m older - when I see a 1940’s pickup truck in a movie I get tears in my eyes they’re so beautiful. And the further back you go the cooler they are.
I can’t understand why they keep changing car designs to be worse and worse. Well, that’s not true - I know why - it’s the $$$. They can’t afford to make things the way they used to make them.. but I don’t understand why people get convinced it’s an improvement when it’s not. I guess most people are easy to gaslight.
Once in a while a car company will show a slide show of their cars through the decades - an d the message is “look how far we’ve come” - but I think it’s a bad idea because it literally shows them getting less and less beautiful and cheaper materials.
But I guess younger people don’t see it the same way.
