Even the Tesla Cybertruck’s Brake Lights Don’t Make Sense::Brake lights shouldn’t be confusing, but Tesla’s determined to be different with the Cybertruck, for better or worse.

That looks like a shitty future car mock-up for a late 80’s future/action movie. Like Robocop or an Arnold movie 🤣 Only Elon would fund something this unappealing.
Much like naming a company “X”
Maybe he’s hoping people will start calling him the X-man.
Dear god… I think you could be onto something.
It looks like something RIGHT out of Robocop, which is funny because the stupid fucking cars was actually a point of satire in that movie.
I think Elon missed the the obvious joke, as per usual lol
everything about this truck is ugly, and fucked up. Just scrap it and start over.
I actually love the way it can look in some of the promo materials and concept art. They should have left it as a concept car and showed it off at events and shit. The things that make it work as a concept, like the striking geometry under certain lighting at specific angles, I haven’t seen a pic of it on the road that looks cool yet. The smaller details like these lights take away from the minimalist geometry and make it look messy and busy instead of sleek and weird, and it just looks like a bunch of rectangles haphazardly arranged.
Good concepts look good on the road. They have all the lights worked out. You’re proving the point this is a bad design. Leave it a rudimentary sketch and never building it, means it’s a bad design.
A lot of concepts aren’t even road legal or would just be laying frame on any normal road. The Cybertruck’s bad design isn’t really due to the aesthetics, it’s the design of the platform and structure underneath.
It looks like an uglier version of the Aztec, and that’s really saying something
I think the CAD program they uaed for design was based on the Logo language.
Funny enough the Aztec has this cult following now
I assume that’s because of Breaking Bad more than anything else
If I could have afforded an Aztec when they came out I would have bought one. There are dozens of us.
I’m convinced that Elon himself drew a shitty sketch for the truck on a napkin and said “make it exactly how I drew it!” and they did unfortunately.
Malicious Compliance.
I’m convinced it’s worse than that. I think he originally drew this thing when he was six years old and is so impressed with himself that he thought it was pure genius then and now.
It was also at that time that he became obsessed with the letter X because he loved pirates and treasure maps.
Malicious Compliance.
Remember when Homer designed a car?
I’d rather own that car.
I think he learned a 3D modeling program like just enough
Hey, I found the driver!
You’d have to be a moron to buy one of these things at this point.
honestly, if you even buy an Elonmobile these days, it’s kind of embarrassing… people will make fun of you behind your back now because of it and weird Elon bros will approach you. I had so many middle aged Elon bros come up to me and peddle crypto to me while I was charging, it’s crazy. you really really have to be a super moron Elon fan to buy one today

Which really sucks because when you do the math for range and efficiency honestly nothing else really approaches the Tesla still. The closest is Hyundai with their iconic series but as aging Wheels did a video on recently the charging situation for non Tesla cars is just abysmal at the moment most Chargers are broken, derated, or just otherwise somehow not easily functional whereas the Tesla charging stations rarely have issues
They really puts a wet towel on my desire to own an electric vehicle
yeah they’re still capable cars if you can get over the terrible QA off the line. but like it or not, buying a Tesla these days is almost like making a political statement. it’s just way more annoying to own one these days than something that’s more low profile
Weren’t there articles like literally 2 days ago beinf posted about how they lied about the range so bad people were taking their cara in for service because they thought the batteries were faulty? (Then Tesla gets to charge a service fee too)
I didn’t see that, but I would not put it past them. However as mentioned the Aging Wheel videos shows how trying to actually charge your car anywhere other than home is a massive pain in the ass with anything other than Tesla which would still be a huge deal breaker.
Nothing else comes close in price to model 3 in the us after federal tax rebate and not having dealer markups. After dealer markups the only one comparable is a Chevy Bolt that may be ~2k under the M3, but you end up with a car that has a top speed of 90 mph and abysmal fast charging.
I would say ioniq 5/6 are better cars, but you would be looking at paying ~15k more.
This is what happens when you think you’re smarter than decades of lessons in vehicle safety design. Elon Musk is truly a dumb person’s idea of a smart person.
It just makes that vehicle illegal to drive in Canada with its gate open. Or maybe even illegal to be sold here.
YES!
That is insane. The “brake lights” are effectively just the regular tail lights turning OFF and being replaced with smaller less bright lights. That is stupid.
They say they have a million preorders…
I ordered a Tesla S way back in the day when it was a 6 month wait. I had to put down a $2000 deposit. But I got it all back when I cancelled the order a few months later.
So I have to wonder what those million preorders actually mean. Because boy howdy people are going to have some fucking buyer’s remorse once these eyesores start shipping.
They make the Pontiac Aztec look good. And that’s saying something!
The deposit was only $250, fully refundable, so there was no reason not to. At the time, there were no EV pickups, so this was announced to be first, and starting price target was $39k.
So now, it’s not first but last to release, price is way higher, and it’s not coming together as expected. I wish they’d stop reminding people about the preorders because they’re going to lose a lot of them
And if the million preorders did hold up, it would still be bad for them because they’ll need two years to produce them all.
Love that Walter White had the Aztec pre-Heisenberg. Went well with the character at that time.

Someone actually bought this n64 piece of shit?
It should come with an expansion pack to get rid of the sharp edges
to get rid of the sharp edges
Or you blow a little air into it…
That will take the 32-bit hardware upgrade.
It totally reminds me of playing Deathtrack on my 1989 PC. Especially Preying Menace’s car…

More like Atari Jaguar or the 3DO. Absolute trash.
Actually kinda reminds me of the cars you see in the old arcade game Hard Drivin.
N64 had more polygons than that. This thing is more like a virtualboy game, and it gives you a migraine when you look at it just like virtualboy.
I remember the virtualboy and the dire warnings that we were told about it.
I’d rather have a Nissan Cube, or a PT Cruiser, than this shitty thing.
You know I was about say I really like the kia soul thinking that is surely what you meant since I have never heard of a car called Cube before… And then I looked it up first.
And giggled for a few minutes on the couch like an idiot.That is such a derpy car. Thank you.
The Nissan Juke is also odd.
Wow… Does Nissan just copy other designs while viewing them through like a fun house mirror cause that’s clearly trying to be a wonky Fiat.

I’m not the biggest fan of modern car desing in the first place, but these unibrow head- and tail lights are definitely among what I take the most issue with. I’m not sure if I’ve seen one car on which they look good. Not that it really concerns me as someone driving only +10 year old vehicles but if by some miracle I aquired one of these the first thing I would to is to lift the tailgate and hood and cut the wires to these lights only leaving the ones in the corners.
911, g wagon. Look great.
I legit didn’t think this thing was real.
It must “look like the future”…
I guess, if you are stuck thinking the 80’s are the future.
The future as imagined in the 80’s
The Huyndai N vision 74 looks like the future, and it looks amazing.
The Cybertruck just looks like a bad Playstation 1 game model.
If you take the wing and ground effects off, it looks like a 30 year old Toyota Supra.
I don’t know if I’d call that “futuristic”.
That car looks excellent. I didn’t have my glasses and misread it as estrogen powered and was really confused for a bit though.
Its powered using the women!
I mean, it also looks like “80’s future” aesthetics but unlike the cybertruck, it does looks amazing
Back to the future. Since the thing looks like an ugly DeLorean on steroids.
Still can’t believe this made it to production
Homer Simpson ass lookin car
Homer Simpson at least had the intent of making a car that would meet the needs of his imagined consumer. I don’t know who the hell this truck was designed for.
For future collectors of obscure 2020s cars.

Honestly all of Technology Connections’ videos on brake lights, but this is the newest. Also, I would give y’all a Piped link but you should have an auto redirect setup anyway (and there is that lovely bot).
