Maybe it’s the retro-futuristic style or reminiscent of sci-fi and cyperpunk, but I genuinely really like the design.
I would never buy one due to the MYRIAD issues plaguing the stainless steel body, interior build quality, or give Tesla money. But still a cool looking car, if nonfunctional truck.
There’s a saying in Brazil, “Everyone has their taste and asshole” (Gosto e cu, cada um tem o seu), because some people have a shit taste
We have a similar one in English.
“Opinions are like assholes; everybody has one and they usually stink.“
Just curious if you’ve seen one in person or just online.
Cuz I didn’t like how they looked online. But seeing them in person was just a whole another thing. I’ve seen a few, My personal opinion is the proportions are just off in every way. It’s bigger than you’d think but also it looks like the cab is a lot smaller. It reminds me of toy vehicles you give like 5-year-olds. If it was just an RC car, I probably be fine with it.
My opinion was formed when I saw them online.
In person they a bit off I’ll admit.
It’s more about the concept of the design rather than actual execution.
raccoons’ reaction seeing a cybertruck:
the aesthetic is fine if it were like 40% smaller
They really aren’t that big though, parked next to my Tacoma is not much larger.
your Tacoma is huge too…
I think this says more about how oversized the Tacoma and other pickups are than it does about the cybertruck
I mean, it’s really not. It’s a second gen and small compared to most pickups.
Most pickups are far larger than their use cases call for
Tacomas are not that.
Meanwhile, in actual Cyberpunk media. I disagree with you so hard that I deeply regret I only have one upvote to give. Well done.
What I really want is this Cadillac electric concept vehicle that is like the car of a rich Shadowrun villain who has a sexy, mute personal assistant who is also a cyborg ninja assassin.
I respect and admire your priorities - and your awareness of Shadowrun. Clearly, you’re a person of culture.
200 unites in 2026. Definitely going to be some dort of collector car or something unfortunately because now I want my Honda to limp by until those come out.
Ironically, the car it’s based on does slightly resemble the cyber truck, but in a reasonable size and not stupidly raw steel.
Nice. It’s certainly a step in the right direction.
It’s a hydrogen car, so a step in the wrong direction
I’m talking about aesthetics, not functionality.
Why is hydrogen a step in the wrong direction?
Because hydrogen is a greenwashing scam designed to prop up fossil fuels. They market it as eco-friendly based on the notion that you can make hydrogen by electrolyzing water using electricity from renewables, but in practice almost all of it comes steam-reforming of natural gas.
Frankly, at that point you might as well just pipe the natural gas to the fuel stations and build CNG cars with normal combustion engines (or at least natural gas fuel cells) instead.
And it’s never going to fulfill that promise in the long-term either, because hydrogen gas storage technology sucks even worse than batteries and is just falling even further behind as battery technology improves.
Hell, even if we did have an excess of cheap renewable electricity with which to electrolyze water into hydrogen gas, the most practical and effective way to store and transport it for automotive use would be to add CO2 to it to make a synthetic hydrocarbon fuel, not try to use it as-is in a hydrogen car!

A hydrogen car is a terrible idea.
Hydrogen is expensive to make and transport. So many electrical losses plus it would need more trucks on the road to deliver it to fueling stations.
It leaks extremely easily.
As of now, it requires platinum as a catalyst which is one of the most rare metals on earth.
Battery tech is changing every year. Sodium batteries should be right around the corner which the manufacturer claims will cost a lot less and be much less dangerous.

Huh. I have no issue directly accessing the file. Still, I’m sure you can all find examples of car designs from CP2077 on your own.
This car is way cooler
I don’t think it’s fair to compare it with a sports car, though. That’s a different genre.
We’re talking about Cyberpunk aesthetics. Christ, the only thing in lore that looks even remotely like the Cybertruck is the Makigai MaiMai.
It’s more an 80s aesthetic than cyberpunk aesthetic. It’s basically a big dumbed down version of a Delorean.
Agreed. In fact, the Delorean was pretty darned Cyberpunk for its time.
Fair take, and well stated. Looks are subjective, so can’t really fault someone for liking the look of something I think looks overdone at best. Extra points for recognizing that it was clearly designed by someone who has never needed a truck for anything more than helping someone move or hauling expensive weekend toys.
designed by someone who has never needed a truck for anything more than helping someone move
I bet Musk never helped someone move.
I’ve heard dudes in maga hats say it’s fugly.
So truly unpopular, have an orange arrow.
I think it looks decent with a white or black skin, I’m not really a fan of the silver look
They should have made it look like the truck from Halo.
It looks like garbage. In like every way. And I’m a car guy. It’s not political. It’s a big old pile of “not worth 120”. I can buy two Toyotas with more satisfaction in style and performance.
I agree there’s potential in that style. I’m not interested in a truck nor a full sized SUV, but I’m definitely interested in seeing they take it anywhere. The spy photos supposedly showing an SUV are very interesting but it’s still be humungous
Spy photos? For like Tesla?
i agree, but i think they ruined it by curving the front (probably for practical purposes)
I maintain they look a lot better painted or wrapped, Musk knows this, and deliberately figured out a way to make painting the 100k pieces of shit the buyer’s financial responsibility.
Some of the original renders I saw were so much better…
Oof. That looks even worse to me.
I’m not sure how it could look worse than the current version.
Oh my God! What in the actual fuck happened along the way!?
Musk got involved
That looks like a giant sante fe.
I guess the Cyber Truck could be cool if it fit in with any of its potential surroundings. Everywhere it goes it just stands out like a sore thumb. There is no city or landscape that matches the aesthetic. It’s like seeing a suped up F350 in the middle of NYC. Even if you like those giant trucks it will always look out of place in a big city. Or like seeing a Lamborghini way out on a dirt road in the boonies. It just wouldn’t look right. I don’t think there are currently any places that exist that match the aesthetic of a cyber truck. It makes me feel like when a high graphical game doesn’t render an object correctly and it comes in low poly.
