Elon confirms Cybertruck video is of a “very close to production” prototype. Lemme just say two things:

1) Pontiac Aztek
2) Yiiiiikes

“@DriveTeslaca Yeah. Still many small tweaks to make it better (and the side mirrors are removable by owner), but this is very close to production design.”

@snazzyq Yikes!

It appears the Musk #Cybertruck is about as attractive and
unwieldy as the Musk #Twitter...

@masey @snazzyq sorry, you guys are wrong, the Cybertruck is awesome :) Straight out of a dystopian nightmare. I totally expect to be shovelling bodies with it, while carrying spare parts for my cybernetic workshop. Though I admit Tesla as a company has lost some of its appeal lately…

@Setok @masey @snazzyq This always makes me think of the movie "The Running Man", which included this car. And that was about a dystopian future.

@internic @masey @snazzyq precisely! Also this one from Blade Runner:

@internic @masey @snazzyq I mean, basically Elon has modelled his goals on Blade Runner. Spaceships to Mars, androids, Cybertrucks. Quite how Twitter fits into all of that is a mystery, but there you go.
