      Now I don’t like the Cybertruck, and I certainly don’t like what is no doubt on the roof, but that colour really works on that for me. Just ditch the 01 too.

          I mean, ideally this color also serves as a coating and that actually prevents the rust. The Cybertruck just doesn’t come with a coating by default…

        I like the stainless steel of the DMC-12 but here orange is easily better than the stainless option, in terms of looks, IMO.

      Would General Grant be close enough for you?

      Someone literally did up a version of the car in blue. With the American flag on top of it and called it the General Grant.

      If someone actually does a General Sherman version. It should start off with some nice tasteful flames around the wheel wells and along the hood. Rising up into an ash black across the rest of the body symbolizing the burning South.

        I say this all the time like he said it in that movie. I didn’t know anyone else actually saw it!

    Them: "Check out my Dukes of Hazzard Cybertruck!’

    Me: “I bet that thing can jump over clear over that ravine. You should do it!”

    90% of photos of this thing, I can’t tell if they’re real, or AI renders.

    Like someone turned the graphics settings to minimum and it just decided textures/reflections aren’t needed anymore; mono-colour flat polygons is the best we can do…

      It’s even weirder seeing it in person, because it has a similar effect yet you know you are seeing it for real. That’s just how it looks.

    Is that its natural rust color or was it painted? Does Tesla allow painting of their precious cybercuck?

      And I wonder if you need to activate its special paint mode before starting, because otherwise you could brick the car 🤔

        it’s a paint subscription, where when you opt out, they come and scrape it off the car and let the rest rust off.

      I’ve seen a gloss black and a matte blue Cybertruck IRL on the road, as well as a silver chameleon paint one.

      I dunno, but I am seeing more and more of these silly things that don’t look like a knockoff delorean

    I don’t like Elon, and the execution of this thing has been a train wreck, but when I just sort of stepped back and looked at it with non biased eyes, I guess I think this one looks cool for some reason.

      We’ve been seeing this one around several times now and it’s definitely the best looking one we’ve seen, I mean it’s still bad. But definitely better than normal.

      I have another photo from the side that shows how it changes color in the light but I can’t find it now.

        They simply look better painted. I’m convinced Tesla not only knows this, they were just tricking people into buying a vehicle they’d have to paint themselves.

    So they’re racist and extra stupid. Got it. Somebody should ask them what it’s like fucking their cousin.
