The horns facing backwards just bring the whole shitshow together.
I can’t believe that’s the front… Like… Holy shit is that car fucking ugly.
The more you look the uglier it gets.
I mean I’ll take that over the alternative of being gored in the head as a pedestrian
It makes it look like it has a handlebar mustache
That and the dirt painting on the side
And the rust on the front.
Muskrat thought paint was a conspiracy
You don’t like the slicked back look all the bulls have been rocking lately?
I think the worst (best) thing you could do to this is just a very small plain unadorned white paper square saying “ew”
Write it in the dirt.
It’s on the wrong way
That’s the direction the longhorn was facing when the autopilot ran it down
Better they impale themselves than any pedestrians they run over.
Lol that’s perfect
I knew something was off about them horns.
I still can’t believe this is actually a real car. It’s beyond stupid, it’s what I’d expect someone to come up with in a zombie apocalypse with welded sheet metal or something.
I thought that was the back of the car and thr horns facing backwards didn’t make any sense, until I realised where the rear view mirror are and that that’s the bonnet. What the actual fuck, 4 years old me did draw something similar a long time ago.
Yeah at least that has character
Does the cybertruck have just 1 giant wiper? That seems…fucking stupid. You can see the passenger top side of the windshield isn’t clear which might be needed. Also the wiper blade must surely be proprietary meaning, wait I can just look it up: $75. Less than I thought somehow.
Benz did it better with one
But that is Mercedes-Benz, a company that is already known for being able to design a car. The “cybertruck” looks like it was designed by a ten year old, and, as the wiper shows, not actually smartly executed.
Oh cool.

I’m not a mechanical engineer but I’m still getting hot and bothered watching that. What a cool design!
The wipers on the mercedes work better than two blade setups as well. You don’t get that trailing line of water off the tip of the wiper right in the center of your view because the one blade extends all the way to the edge, all the way across.
Mercedes is often at the forefront of new car tech. It doesn’t always catch on, though.
This is very pleasing
I have a 93 Mercedes with this system and I love showing off the wiper. Its unexpected motion brings joy to both mechanical nerds and regular people. No joke, people see it and can’t help but grin. It’s that perfect combination where it looks odd but also is immediately recognizable as clearly superior.
Must have been patents that kept it from catching on?
As a car nerd, I think it’s really cool. I’d smile seeing one in action.
As a car owner, I wouldn’t want one. There are enough things to go wrong on cars as it is. I want something simple that works, not one more thing that might cost me money or ruin my weekend.
It works for Mercedes because their target market (in the US anyway) buys a new car every couple years, and isn’t put off by over engineering.
Surprisingly it’s been wiping since 93 with no issues! Unless it was changed by a previous owner. I should probably take it apart and repack the gearbox at this point, though. It slows down quite a bit if the windshield isn’t wet enough, implying there’s some drag in the system.
Back in the early 90s Mercedes were a lot different from how they are today, that car is put together so well that those old diesels are considered a true million mile car. Lots of things on it are really easy to take apart and maintain, too.
The only thing really failing on it is the paint which is cracked all to hell, and I’m honestly considering getting a repaint since there are only 200k miles on it. It helps that I’m friends with a body man/painter who can do it in his garage for a fraction of the cost.

I like the cyber truck wiper better. It looks perfectly functional, and I’m not a huge fan of the German overengineering.
Side note, I love Toyota, but the FJ cruiser’s windshield wipers are stupid.
It is one blade and it has good enough reach that the driver would have no complaints about coverage.
The reason they did it like this is because Elon is over ambitious and over hypes everything and originally wanted a wiper that was vertical and moved in a linear motion back and forth across the windshield.
Obviously they didn’t engineer that and settled for the comically large standard blade that ships with it. I’m also curious how much one of those bad boys costs. Probably more than 2 for a standard car
Also where to get it. I don’t think AutoZone is carrying 50in wiper blades standard.
Yes that is exactly what it has lol
I hear it’s a floppy mess.
Notes that you pointed that out i can’t unsee it, and it is stupidly hilarious.
Is every stupid shit legal in the US?
All the stupid shits.
All thanks to the Stupid Shit Party!

Did you mean bullshit?
they wrote matador on the side lmfao
Matadork
“Where were the handsome bulls and the handsome bull-fighters now? It appeared that even in Barcelona there were hardly any bullfights nowadays; for some reason all the best matadors were Fascists.” -George Orwell
They misspelled Metaldoor.
Its the ugliest vehicle since the Pontiac Aztec
I still think the Fiat Multipla is even uglier than the Cybertruck.
The Multipla’s price tag at launch was a little over $16,000 and no right-wing suprematist hyped tf out of it
no car give the sense of unease like the Multipla
What? That car looks great imo
That is, in my opinion, hands down a better looking car than the cybertruck
That’s bad. Really bad, but somehow less worse
It ain’t a PT Cruiser
Or the Plymouth Prowler…
Nissan Juke is also giving it a run for its money.
Maybe you are right but you know what? I know maybe a dozens people who owned a multipla (mostly fiat employees or had access to discounts). None of them ever thought it looked good, or that it was cool.
Edit: i should also add, for those who will look up this monstrosity, also check out the original fiat 600 multipla from the 1950s. That might work as eye bleach
It’s* the ugliest
I hate the windshield uniwiper
Now put truck nuts on it
If the truck wasn’t assigned nuts at the factory you can’t just add them later. It’s unnatural.
You can’t tell my truck which transmission to be!
It’s a subscription feature that you can unlock for only $79.95 per month.
This is an improvement
MATADOR
Just in case any pedestrian survives the initial impact.
You know who else hates cybertrucks? The atmosphere.
In less than a year that thing is going to be so rusty that a high speed impact with aluminum anything will ignite it like thermite.
The rust on stainless steel from atmospheric contact is mostly chromium oxide. The dark black/green spots would be chrome rusting. Most of the stainless steel I’ve worked with has had a dark green layer.
And that’s what the “finish” looks like AFTER a fresh car wash.
Can’t wait until it corrodes.
Apparently you won’t have to wait too long…
