Last week, troubled electric automaker Tesla announced Elon Musk’s latest brainchild, the Cybertruck. The Cybertruck—the name of which I am sure is meant to evoke the dystopian sci-fi genre cyperpunk—features a rolled steel and titanium exoskeleton that looks like a Nintendo 64 polygonal rendering of an automobile.
It’s unorthodox design aside, I honestly can’t make up my mind on whether or not I like this vehicle. Last week I lamented the new electric Mustang, not because it is electric, but because it’s a hatchback. The title of that piece was “New Mustang is a Sign of the Times,” and my point was that everything awesome seems to be deteriorating.
Does the Tesla Cybertruck fit that trend? Is it a horrible monstrosity? Or is it a daringly original vehicle?
I’m not sure.
