There is nothing masculine about the cybertruck look. It looks like a nerd idiot thing from California.

After having seen them on the road, I don't think the look is amazing or terrible. It's just something new that is somewhere between truck-ish and car-ish.

There are innovative things to admire about it - interesting steering, non-trucklike-ride, squat to load, covered bed, AC power taps, self-driv^H^H^H^Hsteering/cruise.

There are awful things to endure - lack of dedicated controls for critical stuff, everything on touchscreen in center of car.

I think it's just going to exist and at some point lose its novelty.
