The Cybertruck is illegal in Europe because it is too dangerous for pedestrians. I'd seen pictures and wasn't impressed, but many times when I see a car physically it makes a very different impression than in a photo, so I reserved judgment.

I was in the US on business a few weeks ago and saw two Cybertrucks "in the wild." One was leaving the store where I was leaving from at the same time in the same direction, so I followed it for about 5 minutes.

A few days later one was parked outside a restaurant I was going to, so I had a couple minutes to look at it close up.

My technical review: "Looks cheap as shit for that money."

My emotional review: "Butt effing ugly."

About 800 years ago I took shop class in 7th grade. I learned how to solder, spot weld, etc. and we made little "treasure chests" out of sheet metal. Crude, sharp corners. Uneven gaps. Proportions not quite looking right. Poor fit and finish. It is what you'd expect from tweens working industrial tooling for the first time. That is exactly how the Cybertruck looks. Particularly from the back on the road.

The Cybertruck is 7th-grade shop class quality and design at a BMW price-point.

Good luck with that business model, Elon.
