I like the styling too, its got a wicked 80s cyberpunk/Delorian/Tron vibe. I dislike... everything else. I get why a lot of people wouldnt like it, its a love it or hate it deal.

But now that Musk is such a polarising figure and the truck is such a polarising design I think a lot of people cant or wont separate the two.

Yes, but I think it's mostly due to my affinity for Brutalism, which the Cybertruck adheres to at an absurd degree. Most people nowadays don't seem to like Brutalism either, except for architects. The real problem is that some forms of Brutalism, like most modern office buildings, are way too simplistic. Like, Brutalism is inherently simple, but mere rectangles are not design.

i thought they looked cool, until i saw one in person. i honestly expected them to be about 30% smaller. they're stupidly gigantic in real life.

I respect that they actually followed through on the original concept, and made something that looks like nothing else on the road.

I kind of did at first, and at certain angles I still do, but now that I've seen them at a lot of angles, I had begun to see them as a bit of a laughing stock. Like it's the goofiest design ever when you see what it actually looks like

I kinda like the way it looks too. Not 100% but maybe 80%. But I generally like the look of the 80s style retro futuristic, highly angular vehicles like the DeLorean, Lamborghini Countach, and the Hyundai N74.

I don't want the cybertruck simply because I don't want a huge ass truck and the build quality, but if they had made a Ford Maverick sized one without the quality issues I'd be seriously considering it.

I dig the look, but they're wildly impractical. Sucks as both a car and a truck. And that's not to mention build quality and inherent issues. Hard no.

I would never own one because of (a) the disrespect for my right to repair and modify and (b) Piss-baby Musk baggage, but I admit I kinda like the styling too.

I'm also a fan of DeLoreans and other '80s sports cars.

I didn't like the design when it was unveiled but it has grown on me a bit. I don't hate it and I'm excited for the day I get to see one in person.

I think the vast majority of modern vehicles all look the same. I welcome anyone whose trying out something new. This applies to vehicle modifications as well; even if I don't like what you did to your car, I'll still rather see customized ones like that than the boring gray goo that is the rest of them.

I saw one painted black, that was the second time I thought "huh that looks kinda cool."

The first time was when they first unveiled it. Concept models always look futuristic on the floor, but would look ridiculous in the real world. Unfortunately the cybertruck never evolved past the concept model stage.
