I saw one on Camano Island last week
yet another entry on my Island Bingo card (usually it's wildlife spottings, like the flock of domesticated turkeys gone wild, but the cybertruck was interesting in its own way)
The amount of unearned brand marketing they’re getting out of people trying to stunt on them (which: fair, they’re stupid and hideous and barely street legal) is really kind of horrifying.
I mean, Mike's polygons rendered which is strange to me because in my mind he's a Minecraft block dude.
(I am very tired and legit did a double-take of "that's not what he looks like... not block enough!")
Yeah, I've seen so many people report this, and not one person who will say, "You know, still pictures don't do them justice. When you see them in person, in three dimensions and moving, it's kind of impressive."
Seems very consistent and well-attested.
they don't get better with time
I live in LA, which for now appears to be the Cybetruck capital of America and every time I see a new one it looks just as stupid as all the rest of them
In pictures, I thought they looked ugly and unsafe. In person, I was troubled this thing is legally allowed on the road and experienced a sort of civic despair, as if I had been personally threatened by the Department of Transportation.
It’s kind of like seeing a total solar eclipse but bad. You know exactly what it’s going to look like, but still it’s overwhelming once you’re beholding it
I saw one on Sunday morning and it had been “wrapped” by a customized with the word “Cybertruck” across the back in one of the worst graffiti fonts I’ve ever seen. Just awful.
