Yeah, I don't think there will be a lot of overlap between Delorean lovers and Cybertruck lovers.

I don't think the comparison is saying they "look the same", but rather "they're both niche".

(Personally, I agree, the Delorean looks great, and the doors man, the doors. The cybertruck is just ugly.)

It will be interesting to see how collector vehicles evolve

There are still Delorean owners and meetups, because 80s cars can be maintained and operated pretty much as they were back then

In 40 years will a cybertruck even have a cloud service to connect to for all the features it is sold for today? Will there even be a compatible cell network for its radios?

I have computers and peripherals way younger than a delorean and they are effectively paperweights because there is nothing to connect them to anymore. Is that the future of these cars if we can’t update them, or point them to new endpoints when Tesla ends maintenance of their cloud?
