the marketing concept is wrong too, imo, use the cyber-whatever names for the gaming and vr products aimed at children. i am not driving my truck inside a tron movie fantasy land. why are they trying to implement science fiction designs in the real world? trying to infuse reality with fantasy seems childish and just unpractical.

Partly because it motivates irrational venture capitalists, partly because Elon Musk is living out his own fantasies and is accountable to almost nobody.

    I've liked some cyberpunk stuff since the 80s. Doesn't mean it's all good design. Good being in the eye of the beholder and popular demand - which should not be confused with practical demand. If the Cyberfuck is a success, it may be because it's the only e-truck available.

      He has his freedoms in the "free market" to be sure.

      And to be sure my free opinion is that it's a fugly truck lacking imagination and aesthetics.
