I like the Canoo.

Pretty sure the Cybertruck was designed on an 8086 cpu where they charged by polygon.

I’m trying my best to figure out why on God’s green earth did somebody sign off on those awful ovals on the front of Rivians.

The one on the left is one reason I won’t even think about buying a Rivian. The one on the right is another reason and confirms my disgust.

UPDATE:

They get hideous-er and hideous-er every time I see them.

I've been on the waitlist forever as I thought WTH lets see how it comes out. Already bought a small truck earlier this year.

Yeah, the rest of the vehicle looks okay but that front end is terrible. What were they thinking, er, uh, smoking in the styling department? [emoji15]

I wonder if you can see the front corners from the driver’s seat.

It looks cool in person and is distinctive. They work very well too.

Those ovals look like a Japanese emoji with chromosome damage.

They’re even worse in person.

Rivian headlights are a bit cartoony but I think the rest of the truck is attractive and, dare I say it, classy - for a pickup truck.

A friend went from a Tesla S to a Rivian pickup and says he likes it a lot better. I didn't ask why.

The Canoo (stupid name, btw) is just the modern upload of the Brubaker Box Van,

Whoever built this thing knew what they were doing. If you look closely it's obviously hand made and yet on TV it looked "Production".

Crowbob 10-27-2023 02:45 PM

That rover thing was the coolest part of Lost In Space. Plus I hated Dr. Smith so bad. The blond mom also stirred some kind of strange emotion, too.

Maybe you can put a stainless refrigerator out next to it with a ‘FREE’ sign

If I were on Tik-Tok or Instagram, sure thing I'd get one. There are influencers whose entire schtick is owning a Tesla. Hell, there are people whose whole schtick is owning shares of Tesla. I don't know what Jay Leno was thinking, buying a bunch of different cars...

Dixie 10-31-2023 12:55 PM

I'm over run with Cybertruck news since posting here. I don't read them, but I do look at the photos. All I can say is it's one cheap and impractical looking vehicle, ugh.

The body on that thing looks like it was made by kids using plywood panels they got from their local lumberyard.
