Default Vs cybertruck

Parked next to a Cybertruck recently. Our Defenders look puny next to it.

The second pic looks like you parked next to an industrial heat pump or AC. Fugly (IMO).
This is where Elon started going really wacky. IMO

agreed. While I think both trucks are a work of art, but I much prefer the details on the Defender. Its like a Picasso vs a Davinci

Sorry to disagree. Elon himself said that the CyberPOS came to be because his 6yo asked what was modern about the drawing he originally had. So he got his inner Judge Dredd out to design something.

6yo'ds draw houses by making a rectangle with a triangle on top. 6yo'ds apparently also draw pickups by making making a rectangle with a triangle on top.

I've read Elon described as the smartest 15yo on the planet. Maybe that estimate was 9 years too high.

I live in Southern California and I see Cybertrucks daily. They are just as ugly today as they were the first time I saw the first one about a year ago.

I had the chance to drive a Cybertruck last year and as much as I hate the design, I was very impressed by how it drove. The steer-by-wire is bizarre, but once you're used to it, it becomes second nature. Ride quality was also very good. Smooth, controlled and compliant. And of course it was bloody quick. Would I buy one? No. Absolutely not. Hell, I wouldn't want to be seen in one. But I do have a lot more respect for the thing and the engineering that went into it. It is a mighty impressive vehicle. It still shocks me how it was able to pass all the regulations.
