It looks worse in person lol! I love the idea of really pushing the envelope with design, but this was shit. None of the panels were flat, they were all visibly wavy from a distance. The plastic bits looked like cheap, low grade junk that gets used in dollar store toys, and they were wavy too. The gaps were okay... so, congrats? Unedited pics of it look better honestly. Once you can see the fine details in person you can't help but not take it seriously. I've gone to auto shows, I've seen one off concept cars that don't even have an engine that look better quality than this. What an absolute joke.

Someone in the rich town next to mine has one and when I saw him coming in the oncoming lane, I made sure he saw me pointing and laughing at him

First time I saw one, it popped up in my rear-view mirror and I was like "Wtf is that?"

It truly is breathtakingly silly looking and cheap IRL. The pictures don't really do it justice

I walked by one and didn't even bother to look at it. that bullshit straight up does not deserve my attention

They look like an oversized kitchen appliance.

Took me a minute to realize you weren’t having a rant against literal overpriced fancy coffins

I honestly, truly believe Elon Musk is trolling everyone. His serious ventures—PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX—built him not only the unfathomable wealth he would need, but also the clout. That’s why he bought Twitter. Not for some far-right political aim per se but because he thinks it’s funny.
