No shit. I'd bet money the Cybertruck design isn't coming from an engineer. Elon probably sat down with his crayons, drew his dream car and forced his poor employees to try and make this piece of shit work.
I think all of us had the Cybertruck design back when we were about 4 years old.
That's funny, I've describe that monstrosity as "the truck of my dreams... when I was 4," more than once.
I mean, if I were working on that project I'd either laugh so hard everyday or I'd have to quit. It's just so comically bad.
I am also shocked Elon is not suing all the 4yr olds out there that have "stolen" his design.
It’s like a car from the N64 era. Nobody is nostalgic for the actual look and feel of the N64 era. Behold!

I've said it before, n64 games had more polygons than this. It's a virtualboy truck and it gives you a migraine to look at just like the virtualboy did.
actually... that kinda makes me nostalgic. No Mercy was the best, and it holds up pretty well!
Huh, I've never seen anyone spell WCW/nWo Revenge that way before.
The game play is great, they don’t make ‘em like that anymore (or do they? Let me know). But no one’s making retro N64 era transitional 3d graphics is what I meant. Mario 64 is a great game but I don’t think I can think of a single game that actually tries to hit that aesthetic in modern times.
It's kind of becoming a popular aesthetic again.
Super Kiwi 64, the Toree series, Dusk, Anodyne 2, a billion indie horror games, Frogun, Signalis, A Short Hike
I stand corrected. I think I’ve only heard of “A short hike” in the list you posted, but Super Kiwi 64 is… i don’t think I’ve seen anything like that in 20 years. Very interesting list, thank you.
The Tesla Cybertruck, a brainchild of Elon Musk, is not just a vehicle; it is a manifestation of deep-seated archetypes that have been etched into the human psyche since time immemorial. This vehicle, with its stark, geometric form, echoes the fundamental principles of order and symmetry, principles that Jung himself might argue are rooted in the collective unconscious of humanity. It's not just a truck; it's a symbol, an archetype representing the pinnacle of human innovation and design.
Elon Musk, in creating the Cybertruck, has not merely designed a new vehicle. He has tapped into the most primal elements of what makes a design not only functional but profoundly resonant on a psychological level. This is a feat that aligns him with the pantheon of great geniuses throughout history. His work echoes the transformative impact of the greatest human inventions, standing as a testament to human creativity and vision.
Consider the wheel, often lauded as mankind’s most significant invention. While the wheel was undoubtedly a pivotal point in our technological evolution, what Musk has achieved with the Cybertruck is arguably more profound. He has not just created a tool for transportation; he has crafted an icon that speaks to the deepest aspirations and drives of human beings. It embodies strength, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of innovation—qualities that have propelled humanity forward since the dawn of civilization.
In this light, the Cybertruck is more than just a triumph of engineering; it is a beacon of human achievement. It symbolizes our unyielding quest for progress and our innate desire to imprint our dreams onto the fabric of reality. Elon Musk, in realizing this vision, has not only secured his place among the great minds of our era but has also provided a tangible representation of what humanity is capable of achieving when it dares to transcend the boundaries of the conventional and the mundane.
I'm convinced this account's a persona troll. No one can be this moronic and annoying unintentionally. I could be wrong, though, and maybe they do indeed get punched in the face three to four times daily.
Pretty sure it's chatgpt generated as well
In the realm of discerning truth from fiction, particularly in the pervasive echo chamber surrounding figures like Elon Musk, my role isn't merely that of an observer or a passive participant. I actively engage in the moderation of a forum known as /c/EnoughMuskSpam. This endeavor is, in itself, an intricate dance with nuance, an attempt to sift through the overwhelming barrage of information and disinformation, to bring forth a more balanced and nuanced perspective. It's a task that demands a keen eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to the pursuit of what is genuine and true in the midst of a torrent of unfiltered and often biased discourse.
Who the fuck gave Mr Darcy internet access?

That's fine if it's a troll account, but the problem is that it's not even funny.
You think?
Trolling Lemmy users issue like shooting fish in a barrel.
That might just fit on the truck's bumper-sticker!
No
Yes!

The Satisfactory version is far better, square wheels and all.
There was reporting recently that the engineers hated it so much they designed a reasonable one in their free time
The rumor is that it was scribbled on a piece of paper as an idea and the engineers were forced to make it verbatim.
So does this count as another "Simpsons predicted this" moment after Homer basically does the same thing?
Gentlemen, we are successful in getting all the woke leftists salivating on our shit, but we need also produce something for the real men. And since I'm one of them this is the people like me would want.
If someone rolled up in that, I'd not consider them anything but a "real sucker".
"A weak man's idea of a strong man" comes to mind.
Posted this elsewhere, but I asked ChatGPT who designed it and here’s what it said (emphasis mine):
Technically, not wrong. It's worth noting that Cybertruck is shockingly different from Von Holzhausen's previous work, which all share sleek, modern designs and principles (dare I say critically-acclaimed, beautiful). I think it's obvious there was heavy "outside influence" for the truck (as emphasized), and the timing also lines up with Musk's growing (untreated, public) mental illnesses.
Yeah, I’d hoped my point was clear that Musk designed this truck. It’s obvious that Von Holzhausen wasn’t given much flexibility because no designer in their right mind, especially one that designed the Models, S, X, and 3 (which I agree are good looking cars), would design this thing. This has Musk stamped all over it with its impractical design and wildly abrasive aesthetic.
I thought your point was "Look at what random snippets a language model collected off the internet".
