Spacetech Retrofuturism, Vintage Tech, and New Concepts
The future was yesterday.
Cool pics of cool retro-ish stuff.
If I know an image was made with AI, I'll label it as AI. Beyond that, I'm not gonna spend time investigating how every image was created. If it looks interesting, I post it. Whether it came from a camera, Photoshop, an artist, or AI isn't something I take too seriously.
If you know how an image was made, feel free to say so. If you don't know, don't worry about it.
Rule 1: No serial downvoting or trolling just because you don't like AI.
Rule 2: AI is fine. If it looks cool, it is cool, babe! Label if ya want. Or not. I don't care.
Rule 3: Be civil.
Rule 4: Don't just call content “slop,” or use similar insults, unless you also contribute content yourself.
If you don't like these rules, I suggest you create you own community with your own rules. Lemmy can always use more content!

A lot of it has to do with safety regulations going into effect in the 80ish (depending on where in the world you are). Front ends like this are guillotines for legs, pretty much the same reason we lost pop-up headlights.
If you compare the original Cybertruck to what was released for purchase you will notice that the front end was softened significantly.
See also, the front end of a US spec Countach vs the European spec.
Oddly enough, nothing is done about the super tall blunt fronts that are all the rage these days – despite studies having shown that they also make the car more deadly for pedestrians.
Maybe they'll need a couple more years.
