    I don’t know what anyone likes about this truck, it’s just hideous and stands out like a sore thumb

      I like the styling because its different, its polarising, risky, and unique… its literally the only thing I like about the enormous piece of shit.

        Yeah, all things considered, I’ve come down on actually liking how it looks.

        The problem (OK, one of the many, many problems) is that it was designed for looks first and function second. So you get problems like the terrible view, poorly positioned columns, ridiculous floppy windshield wiper, etc, etc.

      tbf that’s true of a lot of cars these days, i miss when cars actually looked nice…
      Even sports cars are just minimalistic and boring, can we please go back to having them look like this and considering 50km/h reckless speeding?

          Just like all these pickup trucks that have such horrible frontal blind spots and high bumpers so they can run over all the children they want without seeing any of them.

          do you like actually have a source for that? because i’m not sure there’s actually enough force at 30km/h to kill people…

          i can totally believe that they cause worse injuries, because they’ve got a taller square front, but them killing people as such speeds is harder to believe.

            1. they are talking about mph not km/h. so about 50km/h
            2. 30km/h certainly is enough to seriously injure if not kill a person. If you need a source, try going 30 on a bike and riding stright into a brick wall.

            The person was talking about 30 miles per hour. So about 50 km/h for normal people.

            I can easily believe that front is very deadly at 50.

        the cyberbrick actually looked unique, the damn aerodynamic curves ruined the “babies first car design” look though, and musk ruined the rest.

      Apparently raccoons have tried to claw their way inside them because they mistake them for literal dumpsters.

      The silver ones do, but I’ve seen a few black ones that look pretty neat. There was also one with a lime green wrap that looked really good. Plus, the insides are nice.

      Honestly, as far as aesthetics go, the jeep truck is worse.

      Not that any of that is a good reason to want one, though.

        I’ve seen all those and they’re all horrid in person. Yes, there are degrees of horrid, with some more horrid than others, but none of them look anything close to “really good.” And it’s amazing how much worse they look in person than in pictures.

        I’m with you on this. It’s kinda ugly, but kinda neat. If it wasn’t made so shitty, wasn’t a safety hazard, and wasn’t associated with a nazi, I don’t think it would get any more hate than any other pickup. But for looks, I’ll take ugly over boring any day.

        You’re just wrong. Seen several black ones, they still look terrible, and the inside isn’t that nice really, and the dash is a nightmare.
