as I was driving and I did a double take and said out loud to myself “what the…?” Ugliest vehicle I have ever seen!

But I am shallow enough and poor enough that I could put aside my feelings and be willing to accept a bunch of money to drive one… haha

The upside of that rust bucket is that it just might be Musk’s undoing. That would put it in the ‘ironic sublime’ category.

As fugly as the Tesla truck is, those Pontiac Azteks were pretty damned fugly, too.

Now that I think about it, though, at least the Aztek was readily identifiable as a car. Those Tesla trucks don't look anything like a truck, and they don't look like a car, either. They just look stupid.

Yeah, the Tesla truck is worse!

as a consolation prize, we named the ugliest car on the planet after it though.

What?!?!? We misspelled it too? Tough shit.

but it's both an iconic/revolutionary design. Technically what is most notable is its drive by wire system and 800V architecture.

I saw my first one a few weeks back at a charging station; there were 3 guys in the Cybertruck, and I asked them how they liked it.

One said "I love it!"!" Another said "I hate it!" The third guy stayed quiet.
