I do like the idea of shaking up established notions when it comes to aesthetics, design, and functionality. The Cybertruck really is a concept car that actually made it to production - you just don’t see that.
That said, I greatly dislike everything else that has come from this. It’s become this weird divisive thing, a political statement, a rolling monument to billionaire hubris, an expensive flex, and in general, saying things loudly at great expense to the owner on so many fronts. It doesn’t even do its stated purpose - a pickup truck - all that well. All we need are statistics that indicate that these are dangerous to everyone else on the road, and it’ll tick just about every “bad” box there is.

It reminds me of when the Hummer first came out, and all you saw was rich people like Arnold driving them around.
Years ago, some rich kid got one for his birthday. Instantly sunk it in a swamp thinking it could go anywhere.
