Ahahahahaha.

Well, I feel bad for the employees who had to work ungodly hours to design and build it.

I wonder if it's the next Delorean?

The Delorean has such a complex chain of events leading to its failure, the cybertruck feels more like an IRL version of The Homer.

Well, the DeLorean was a legitimately innovative design, new and attractive to it's target market, with only one overlookable flaw (the PRV V6), but killed by its designer's bizzare legal and financial troubles. They didn't sell half bad until DeLorean had to stop producing them.

The Cybertruck is just plain weird, has little place in its target market, and comprised mostly of design/manufacturability flaws. It looks neat but is DOA.

Delorean met wants and needs, and was beautiful and relatively indestructible (for a car). I'm not convinced anyone finds this thing beautiful, and they aren't all that robust.

“As soon as we saw [the Cybertruck], everyone I know in the industry started laughing."

Me too, bud. Me too.
