    Remember when thought was given to the beauty of the design of cars (like above), and nowadays we have the mutant electric shaver that is Teslas?

      Or the refrigerator on wheels that is the SwastiKKKar.

      And you thought Walter White’s Aztec was the ugliest car ever. Nope, Musk looked at that, and said “I can do worse.” And he did.

      The cyber truck is disgusting. It’s what happens when you give billionaires all the decision making authority. It seriously looks similar to a dumpster.

        I highly suspect Musk had the idea for the swastikkkar as a kid and told some people, who proceeded to laugh at him. He then never let that grudge go, deluded that he is always the smartest boy.

        It’s a refrigerator on wheels, part of a weird Sociopathic Oligarchs’ odd vision to make their vehicles match their kitchen appliances, for reasons that only a weird Sociopathic Oligarch can understand. Probably AI.

        The really horrible part is Teslas used to actually look great.

        Their body stylings are petty lousy lately, but then again so are most modern cars.

      No, by the time I was born beauty was secondary to aerodynamics. It was the right decision, but I do understand what we lost is something to be sad we’ve lost.

      With teslas my bigger issue is build quality. Though the dumpster they sell is ironically one of the few deviations from the modern prioritization of aerodynamics over aesthetics, it’s just done by someone who doesn’t understand good taste. Compare it to those Honda EVs to see a similar idea done much more beautifully.

      I dunno. I recently saw the new Twingo and it’s a very nice and cute looking car. Their 2025 hatchback was also very cool and futuristic looking.
