Absolutely smashing: Musk shows off Tesla's 'bulletproof' low-poly pickup, hilarity ensues

A DeLorean with none of the charm.

Yep. It's bold. As in inviting the inevitable comparisons to the 1976 car. Which lead to a stellar career for John DeLorean.

In fact, the closest comp we can think of for the Cybertruck might be the Hummer brand in the early 2000s

Nope, travel back in time to an age of high pre-millenials. So kind of sad that young and hip YT types are going crazy about how 'futuristic' this car is. Or how it's edgy/cyberpunk when the only thing it seems to have in common with cyberpunk is ripping off the font.

On the plus side, I guess it means Tesla can recycle more of the space hopper. And being stainless, won't have to worry about it's paint quality. And being mostly low-polygon, possibly easier for his alien dreadbots to weld. For the owners, might not be such great news. So previous Tesla had problems getting doors open in the cold. This one might leave owners fingertips on the doors, or worse on account of it's high capacity battery and conductive skin.
