Hmm… so a brick is pretty aero then.

I’d always thought the teardrop was the idea shape. Which is what the Cybertruck is getting closer to.
Teardrops are blunter than bricks who have those sharp square edges. The blunt rounded end is the front.

short and curvy are generally signs of neoteny (i.e. childlike cuteness). These are not characteristics I would have expected on the CT. I understand that from an engineering/efficiency perspective the shape is favorable. But I don't like it, and I think a less masculine design will reflect poorly on sales.

I could be wrong and maybe the pictures don't do it justice...

You can add a camouflage wrap and a gun rack to maintain your quota of manhood indicators.

Yeah gotta maintain all those flat surfaces to maintain stealth characteristics. Way more manly! :D

Didn’t mean to come off dismissive.

I kind of like the new look, but I suspect any changes from the launch night will be met with people who like it and don’t care for it.

Lol I actually really like this idea. I miss the good old days when run racks were a feature of every truck.
I think we are all super curious how wrapping the truck is going to come out. It should significantly alter the whole feel of the truck.

Still featured in my trucks.
The rear window on the Cybertruck is a bit small for a gun rack.

Missing the golden opportunity here though. Sail pillar storage is the perfect place to stash your guns. Secure, hidden, and easy to get to.

'Hidden' without being 'concealed'.

Yeah. I’m pretty sure there is no state which prohibits legal guns from being carried in a secure storage area on your vehicle.

Of course stashing the gun in the sail pillar would reduce your man credit versus having a gun rack in the back window. It’s a balancing act. Utility versus man cred.

You are so lucky you don’t have to struggle with trying to conform like us men do.


Yes, that last was dripping with sarcasm.
