Imagine being so dumb you manage to turn that kind of momentum into the electric Edsel
IDK, the Edsel was at least reasonably priced.
I saw some Chinese company had done a reskin or replica of the cyber truck body but actually made it look kinda cool, like something you'd actually expect to find in a film.
It just showed what an abject failure Musk is, as it's the only car he had a hand in designing...
The idea that anyone used one as a truck, or that it could even reasonably be used as one is pretty laughable.
But if I was a man child who wanted a toy car the Chinese one at least looks less like a bin on wheels. https://www.carscoops.com/2025/05/gacs-cybertruck-inspired-pickup-launching-in-2027/
I was going to comment on that but didn't want to get burned at the stake. I agree the Edsel was a pretty good looking car, even if it wasn't completely conventional for the time period. The cybertruck almost looked good in its early concept days before it got turned into a literal dumpster fire.
