Saw it for the first time in person yesterday and I can confidently say….
It’s even uglier in person!
I don't know how to explain it, but it absolutely is. I saw my first a week or two ago, and was taken aback by how off-putting it is visually. I thought maybe it'd have an awkward charm, but no, it's just physically uncomfortable to look at.
It's like looking at a texture that hasn't fully rendered or something, just visual blur despite the sharp edges
What struck me was how ungodly huge it is, for basically no reason. There was one outside of Costco with people trying to get some huge thing to fit in the bed. It didn't go well. They already had it loaded by the time I walked into the store and they were still there putting ratchet straps on it when I left 30 minutes later.
I saw one in person the other day and physically uncomfortable is a good description. I was trying to describe it to my friends who have only seen pictures and I couldn't stop laughing because it's so much dumber looking in real life. Really just horrible.
There's trying something different, and there's just throwing shit at the design board.
Some ideas might have been worth exploring, but that would have required an actual design team.
I'm glad those menaces aren't legal over here.
It's what happened with a boss that punishes or fires people for saying something negative to the boss. After some time the boss is surrounded by nothing but yes-men so weird and disastrous plans get implemented with thunderous applause.
Interesting to know it’s just my area (which does make sense, it's SF Bay Area), but I see them all the time, multiple a day sometimes.
There is only one by me that I see somewhat regularly, and oh what a trash bin it really is in person....
But yeah, don't see a lot here. I do live in a progressive area, but we are surrounded by farmland and maga outside the the townships into the more rural parts of the county. The cyber truck isn't something a farmer is going to ever touch since it's garbage for actual truck tasks, it's a very specific pavement princess vehicle. Around here they actually use their trucks.
