Even amateur designers can start from the cyber truck design and make something a lot better with a few tweaks. The current design is just a great visualization of what happens when the boss purposefully ignores any suggestion and criticism from the employees. I mean, this not only happens with cars. There are many projects going that way. This is just a very visual high level example.

It’s actually a decent little sci-fi from the Knight Rider/Airwolf era. It stares Desi Arnaz & Lucille Ball’s son.

Yeah when I think of a car that's actually cyberpunk it's some civic with mods.

I'd say it looks more like a futuristic barn

Is that a countach with led strips?

It looks like it came from the launch version of Cyberpunk running on a PS4.

remember the hand getting sliced open, the carrots. also it can cleave venison in half.

Pretty sure the joke was 88 is a common Nazi code. Eight letter in the alphabet is alphabet is ‘h’ - it’s “HH” which stands for the obvious.

14 is another one. When MyPillow had a sale for $14.88, there was a reason for it…

Yes, that's why I said the owner of the company and not the inventor. =)

Yep, I realise that. As I said to the previous commenter it was the owner, not the inventor, as per my OG comment. =)

Except it does still look cool. It's just that the drivetrain sucked. If I even got one, I'd replace it with an EV drivetrain. There's pretty good options now. You don't even have to pull parts from a totaled Tesla anymore.

John DeLorean also got acquitted on the drug trafficking charges when it was found he was entrapped.

To be fair I'm pretty sure the delorean was supposed to have a Ford V8, but supplier bailed last minute and left them scrambling. Thus the anemic puegot v6 it wound up with ..

Marty even comments on the Doc's choice in the movie.

If only weighs 2800lbs and most of the mechanical problems were sorted out quickly in production. The financial crash, high interest rates, negative publicity from the drug trial, and the election of Margaret Thatcher as British PM killed the company. It was a “death by 1000 cuts” situation.

It was in the same weight range as what Ferrari was putting out at the time. Those stainless steel panels are very thin sheets over fiberglass. They don't add as much weight as you'd think.

Most of the other issues were fixed by VIN 3000, but their reputation was set by then. Getting framed by the FBI in a drug sting didn't help, either. It has a lot of very thoughtful features, like a gull wing door design that only comes out 11" and won't hit the car parked next to you.

It got caught up in a bunch of regulatory changes that were happening the late 70s/early 80s. Just a bad time to start a new car company, or to make a sports car at all. There aren't many memorable cars from the time period for anything other than looks.

I remember watching the director commentary on the first movie and they made a joke about the 88 mph thing because the car could barely do it. If I recall the later car in the films was a Volvo underneath.

Good news Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale have the rights to approve any sequel or remake. They have both said absolutely no to any remakes.

Have you seen Hollywood recently? What isn’t a remake or revamp. Fuck they managed to get bill murray back into ghost busters. Hollywood is brain dead.

It's 301 stainless - the worst and cheapest stainless available. That crap rusts if you sneeze on it. It's what you sell to people who don't understand that there are different types of stainless steel.

Most people think of the thing in less like the tank in a tankless water heater, rather than like less sodium in reduced sodium soy sauce.

You made all my points for me, only one note: I can properly fix a cybertruck for $20USD. maybe less what have petrol prices been doing lately
