Tesla Cybertruck is experiencing a significant increase in unsold inventory in the US and facing huge challenges in meeting initial sales expectations.
What’s sad is that, even though he was supposedly inspired by Cyberpunk, the final design goes completely against the Cyberpunk aesthetic ethos. Everything about cyberpunk is style forward. Bling. Flash. The Cybertruck “style” is minimalism to the extreme.
Here is a quote from Cyberpunk.
There’s nothing as unforgiving as leaving a bad looking corpse.
Except that the cyberfucked has proven itself to be an abysmal offroad vehicle.
And you dont get smooth roads in a lawless hellscape. Just go drive in Alberta or Saskatchewan. Or any red state outside of the main interstate freeways.
I’m from the UK and we have laws about sharp edges on on sky cars to minimise deaths to pedestrians. As soon as saw this thing I knew it was never going to be sold in Europe. Such a weird design choice with limited marketability.
There, FTFY.

– Dr. Halman Thompson
The cyber truck is a struggling polygon rendering of a shitty car in a shitty game on a shitty intel286 with a broken turbo button from 1989.
I felt that in my 386 trying to play Wing Commander.
Dystopian futuristic maybe, in the way that a tank car is futuristic if you assume society is going to collapse into a lawless hellscape
