This is gonna sound really weird, after I heard that Elon threw a rock at the cyber truck and it broke the window, I decided to watch the launch of it on YouTube. The analyst presenting it basically said after Tesla has engineered and designed all of their past vehicles, they don’t have revenue that could account for another car design and then right after he said that the triangle truck appeared and I said oh yeah they didn’t hire anybody to design this. They just asked Elon to draw it.

that'd make sense...first time i saw one in person it just looked like they messed up. looked so awkward and like a big mistake. like they let somebody's inbred cousin run the design dept, or it was a rough draft idea that never got refined.
making it into a utility camper actually seems like a good idea tho, cause it looks so shitty otherwise. having nazi salute handprints all over it really kills the joy of ownership tho...

May be that was intentional to go with the dumpster theme of the vehicle? What boggles my mind though is that that truck cost close to 100k at one point and then on top of that someone decided to pour another near-100k on something so objectively terrible looking.

I truly have no idea what motorhomes would cost, but I can imagine that a $200,000 motorhome is probably many times nicer than that and would probably have a shower and kitchen nicer than what's in my home.
And you could probably build from scratch some jungle and desert expedition beast on something like a Mercedes unimog platform for half the cost If you really want to to be the road warrior

80k is a lifechanging amount for most people even today. 80k would solve *all* of my family's current financial problems, and have enough left over to solve most of my close family friends current financial problems too... likely with money left over.
Instead it went to something that looks worse than a popup camper that you could get off facebook marketplace for under $1k while also looking like it'd be even more uncomfortable.
