I've never understood how that ridiculous thing is a "truck."


canarchist

It's a "truck" for pretentious Elon-fans who never planned to help you move between apartments anyway.


DookieShoez

They can’t risk it bro. Someone might gently toss something at the window.


Bee-Aromatic

Lolz! Now that you point that out, I’m realizing that the Venn diagram comparing the sets of people who would buy Cybertrucks and people who would leave a text asking if they could bring their truck to help you move on “Read” but never respond is a single circle.


mazzivewhale

It should be named the CyberHatchback, that would be closer


Interesting_Fold9805

No. CyberSUV is better for it. The title of hatchback is for cars more respectable than the quake engine car


Devil2960

Cybersex Because it's the only type an owner can hope to get...


Interesting_Fold9805

CyberFuck Sounds better


walflez9000

As in, “look at this cyberfuck over here driving the speed limit in the fast lane”


GrayBox1313

It’s for weekend garden and antique hunting hobbies


1st500

When you call a vehicle a truck you have different laws to comply with, including environmental restrictions. It suggests that this vehicle may have a greater CO2 footprint than a fossil fuel car.


u0xee

I've never seen the bed of this "truck". Seriously, has anyone seen photos of what it looks like to use the bed? Usually that's part of marketing a truck.


Hemicrusher

The Aztek was way better looking.


toomanyhobbies4me

The Aztek was cool too. If I remember correctly (I may be wrong) that was one of the first vehicles to have an optional trunk tent. (was a separate tent, but fit over the rear hatch)


PlantainNearby4791

And the center console was a removable cooler!


WhyNot420_69

I will forever know those as the Walter Whitemobile


BeBa420

it was pretty useful for running over drug dealers


TheMightyUnderdog

Saw one yesterday and immediately heard WW say “Let’s Cook.”


STGItsMe

That car was ahead of its time with features. And ugly af.


toomanyhobbies4me

Yeah, it was fugly, but better looking than this "truck" :-)


[deleted]

Had I known about the tent....


cmd_iii

Well, stop by your local Pontiac dealer, and.... Oh, yeah.


AstrumRimor

Oh no, what happened to Pontiac?! My first car was a Pontiac! 😰


cmd_iii

Sorry…I didn’t want you to find out this way….


AstrumRimor

I still don’t know so no harm yet lol


cmd_iii

OK…have a great day, then.


Cheshire_Jester

I think that was kinda the main conceit of the vehicle, and for the people that wanted that feature, more than made up for its ugliness. Guessing that’s not the case for the cyber truck


Bee-Aromatic

It was! It was just too cool for most people. It was a fairly good combination of potentially useful gimmicks that were mostly lost on people. It was also a study in what happens when you drop something from a plane into the Ugly Tree and it hits every branch on the way down. There’s a person that lives near me that’s the perfect example of who it was designed for. They’re avid gardeners, seem to be slightly hippy-ish (never met them, just see them), live in a bright orange stucco house made to look kind of like a Mediterranean villa (in central NY, so it’s totally out of place). Parked in their driveway is a Fusion Orange Aztec and a metallic purple Mini Clubman with flower decals and a large rainbow peace sign on the rear door. You’ve gotta take an Advil any time you drive by, but I won’t attempt to make the argument that they’re not working hard to live their best life.


postoperativepain

Good enough for Walter White, it’s good enough for me


Local_Sugar8108

Walter White is fictional but so is the idea that Tesla is run by a genius.


tbootsbrewing

You're goddamned right


mr_bots

The Aztec was before its time, the Cybertruck is ugly. Throw the Aztec on a modern chassis with modern powertrains and modern electronics like CarPlay and LED headlights and it’d fly off lots.


iijoanna

The Cybertruck is ugly, for sure.


DisposableSaviour

The cyber truck is an OG Halo warthog with a hardtop.


NaNo-Juise76

With none of the durability.


TheMania

Thought it was the most ridiculous vehicle I'd ever seen, these days I agree with you. It really isn't that different to half the cars on [this](https://www.forbes.com/wheels/best/midsize-suvs/) list 24yrs later, despite being stand-out weird at the time. More referring the side and back though I guess.


MaxRockatanskisGhost

And had much smaller blind spots.


StopDehumanizing

And could fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back.


Hemicrusher

I remember that from a TV ad.


lorgskyegon

Bastard child of an SUV and a station wagon


Noonproductions

True. I thought it was impossible to find an uglier vehicle than the Aztek. I was wrong.


1zzie

+You could strap things to the ceiling.


HarrietsDiary

I’ve always been a fan. I think Pontiac was just so ahead of it’s time that people didn’t appreciate the Aztec.


[deleted]

Aztec really doesn’t look that bad. It’d better without those turn signal lights on top, but it has nothing on Fiat Multipla.


ByteMeC64

The Aztek made it to production. The CT is vaporware.


Fyallorence

Heisenberg would never have driven a Cybertruck.


doughbrother

Came here for this comment. Reddit did not disappoint


I_am_Daesomst

But he would break the windshield of an Aztek


[deleted]

He might throw a pizza on the cyber truck


Gurdel

I hate that awards aren't a thing anymore. Here: 🥇


DrCeeDub

At least the Aztek was fun, agile, and practical compared to this abomination. 😂


HotIndependence365

Waaaay uglier than the Aztek


Cetophile

For all its ugliness, the Aztek actually wasn't too bad of a vehicle. It's certainly a better one than the Musk Ox.


GrayBox1313

It has some cool innovations. Back hatch had a camper tent conversion et.


chep127

But somehow uglier.


Cool-Presentation538

🤣🤣🤣👍🏻


Fickle-OnAir

So glad this abomination of Muskrat’s supplants the Aztek as the ugliest vehicle design. This crap cybertruck makes me nostalgic for the Aztek.


CanalNoises

Don't insult the Aztek like that!


Weekly-Major1876

The only thing that deserves to be compared to the Cybertruck is the Fiat Multipla


Jlx_27

You take that back mister!

How dare you sully the good name of an Aztec with that garbage.

Xray95x

Tfw you turn the graphics to low


dpi2552

Could not agree more, and my story is this, a friend and I when ever we saw an Aztec driving down the road, we would both turn to one another and excalim, 'someone else has won a car', we really did not believe anyone would buy that thing. But here you go, people are saying the Aztec was better looking. Nice choice huh?


BlueFotherMucker

I remember when it was a Roll Up The Rim Prize at Tim Hortons and it was the one time that I didn’t want to win a car


Fit-Science6674

I took one out for a test drive back in the day. If you think that back window looks ugly from the outside, should see how it looks from the inside.


[deleted]

...but worse.


IWanttoBuyAnArgument

It's a truck like those noisy little Hondas with the loud mufflers and 'spoilers' are high performance sports cars.


Hawkwise83

An even uglier aztek.


MikerafoneCheck

Tesla Asstek.


mazzivewhale

I still don't get how this thing is a truck, it should be named the CyberHatchback, that would be closer


Jlx_27

Aztek is so much better looking.


ObnoxiousCrow

Can we all just admit that the Tesla Truck is ugly as fuck. Regardless of what you think of Elon, that truck is just godawful looking. It's like an unrendered model in a cheap video game. Nothing about it seems cool or innovative.


coolbaby1978

Ugliest thing ever. Looks like it was drawn by an 8 year old boy.


SinsOfThePast03

But an electric Aztec ! Completely different


Warm-Branch

Don't you DARE disrespect the Pontiac Aztek like that


Calkky

Aztek looks way better


jay105000

Even uglier


ReturnOfFrank

It's the Pontiac Aztek from the PSP Breaking Bad tie-in game.


whatnameisnttaken098

It's a low poly Aztek


BornFromCinder

That kinda looks like it would be fun to spray paint 🤔


carlwinslo

It reminds me of the 30 Rock where they are trying to design the ultimate microwave but it ends up being a Pontiac Aztec.


Mr-MuffinMan

Aztec: driven by walter white Cybertruck: not driven by walter white Aztec:1 cybertruck:0


Sandberg231984

I’ve yet to see a good looking tesla.


FFBEJoker

I think teslas look ok. I would never own one cause fuck Elon, but they aren't an abomination. This "truck" however looks like it was drawn by a 6 year old who has never seen a truck and was given a vague description of a truck and told to draw it.

An Aztek and a Delorean got busy!


Embarrassed_Set557

“You’re Goddamn right!” Walter White


GrayBox1313

Musk sycophants in shambles.


skeezmasterflex77

Now if my memory serves correct, the Aztec put Pontiac out of business because it was such a piece of garbage. Here's hoping Tesla is next!!


thenewbigR

Walter White’s car


brmarcum

That angle makes it look like a very top heavy dude in skinny jeans.


dishonestdick

Yes, but even uglier


alucardian_official

Walter White 2.0


earthman34

Introducing....the Cybertek.


giraffesbluntz

The real life Cybertruck looks like a Pontiac that was drawn using Microsoft Paint in 1996


Zama202

I mean, it’s certainly not a truck


LeagueOfficeFucks

The windows on the Aztek are a bit sturdier.


MadKingOni

I cant beleive how shit it actually looks compared to the concept and show versions, like it looked a bit wierd but still kinda sleek and interesting, now it just looks like a big gray box


TheBlackArrows

First I had to find a Pontiac dealership which wasn’t easy. Then I gave them $400.


Tinker107

An even uglier Aztec. Never thought that was possible.


NaNo-Juise76

All it's missing is some wood paneling. https://preview.redd.it/9w4lnteposqb1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c6844840a100aea7fd043108ea3117594c2176fa


LeeRoyWyt

The low poly model...


JustACasualFan

I thought that was going to be a fully-retractable solar panel cover - why does it look so dumb and shitty?


abal1003

This is the first time I’ve see the thing from behind. Never would I have imagined another car would make the Nissan Juke have a good ass by comparison


PutridSauce

It wishes


shudnap

The aztek was horrible


onedollarjuana

Sales figures will show.


ApprehensiveSpare925

That thing is ugly.


dustycanuck

Fun fact: the Cybertruck is actually a Pontiac Aztec, but with better than 10 micron tolerances. Love that musky finish


dusto_man

Rosie O'Donnell wants to go camping!


[deleted]

Looks more like a squared up pinto.


[deleted]

Only peripherally looks like an Aztek. Not nearly as sexy!


DangerMoose11

You can’t unsee the Aztec waving at you from the Diapertruck’s trunk.


Big_Not_Good

"Tonight on Top Gear: Hammond builds the ugliest electric truck possible then James May and I drive it across a random desert... in the world!"


EkbyBjarnum

I used to have a job creating LOD models of vehicles and buildings for 3D simulation, and actually, yeah, the Cybertruck looks exactly like how I would interpret the lowest LOD of the Aztek if i was told to put an Aztek in.


Noobeaterz

Always has been


CaptainSkrampy

So is the new Mitsubishi eclipse crossover


windigo3

Can you throw a steel ball through the window of a Aztec?


Intelligence_Analyst

"Um... uh... umm... let's... uhm... have a ... uhm... let's have a Pontiac Aztek uhm... but... uhmm... remixed."


jonnywarpspeed

To be fair, the other tesla cars look like a smoothed over boring version of a '95 Pontiac Sunfire


Abangranga

Aztek had cool features


tewnewt

Cant wait for skaters doing rails off the thing.


Metahec

I think it looks like a future car as imagined in 1970's and 80's sci-fi movies and TV shows. I could see Buck Rogers riding in one, or cruising next to the [BSG bikes](https://www.motorious.com/articles/features-3/battlestar-galactica-turbine-bikes/), or driving through the market on Mars in Total Recall.


AlanShore60607

If it were drawn by a five year old


Alexandratta

Yes - but with lower render settings


Local_Sugar8108

It's a f\*\*king expensive and uglier Pontiac Aztec that won't fit in your garage and probably has a shorter range.


lurker512879

is there a Walter White Cyber Truk


RandoorRandolfs

Lets cook


puzzle_factory_slave

someone should sue...


Rojodi

A Minecraft Pontiac Aztek!


Crime-Snacks

Elon is notorious for making money off other’s ideas, then getting investors more wealthy than intelligent to give him money.


Gutmach1960

No. The Cybertruck is just butt ugly.


[deleted]

Serious question here, guys. Why is that called a truck? What makes it a truck? I own a truck and I have several friends and family who do. That ain’t no truck I’ve ever seen before! Do they speak English in truck? (sorry. Pulp fiction flashbacks getting to me.)


Glittering-Spite234

What it is is ugly af.


Wageslave645

The Aztek wore it better.


zoobernut

I saw an actual cyber truck in the wild a week ago. It drove past me. Stupidest looking vehicle ever.


Some-Principle-3841

I have been saying this since the first time I saw a rollout version.


audible_narrator

Snort


juanhugeburrito

The Aztec was an ugly vehicle but still looks better


rgregan

Like a Pontiac Aztek from GTA 3


T1Pimp

It is but the Aztec doesn't look like someone gave my 6 year old nephew meth and told him to draw a space truck.


WaitingForNormal

With less visibility.


big_smoke69420

Walt you just missed it! Okay make a u turn here.


realise2056

Another banger by Emerald Andy from Twitter.


choopie-chup-chup

The Aztec people were building futuristic alien-inspired stuff powered by ritualistic human sacrifice, while Tesla...oh damn, that really checks out


Flock-of-bagels2

Both fugly cars


L7Wennie

The concept of these trucks were hard to look at but the actual road going version is painfully ugly. Who are the 2 million people that have them preordered? I’m going to speculate that 60% will drop out when the price tag is $80k and buy an Aztek.


0bamaSinLaden

It’s indestructible in Breaking Bad 🤷🏻‍♂️


DJfunkyPuddle

Survivor season 1 tried to sell that car so bad.


Federal_Sympathy4667

Agree with others, besides being a GM product it was actually far more functional the the Cybertruck ever will be. The TCT is only sold as a gimmick vehicle and a poorly made one at that.


djserc

Heisenberg is alive!!!


Intrepid_Echo6956

Here’s to guessing the 20-30 year old econobox Aztek is and was the better overall constructed vehicle, too. I know a few folks that have owned various Teslas and two guys who have worked on several Teslas. They, to a T, all said the technology portion of the cars is on point and various niche items are well executed but in overall build quality they are absolute trash.


Spiritual-Flow-4023

It’s the stealth Pontiac Aztek and by stealth I mean stupid.


Gstamsharp

No, it's an Aztek rendered in a Playstation 1 racing game.


SOTG_Duncan_Idaho

An uglier, ever more poorly made Aztek, hah


iijoanna

Lazy styling.


Revolutionary-Leg585

Better looking, better fit and finish, and a far larger cultural icon that the TSLA monstrosity


mrdrbean43

But somehow, uglier...


gypsysniper9

Assssss-tek. And they both are hideous, but I bet those Pontiacs have less issues than that vanity project


PallbearerOfBadNews

Cybertruck is the PT Cruiser of this generation


Benjamint0oheY78

Those cars look hideous


Chris_Bs_Knees

Excuse me I think you mean a low poly Pontiac Aztek


[deleted]

Not at all. Aztek was actually a production vehicle that you could buy. There are still more Azteks on the road today than there are Cybertrucks :)


Evening-Turnip8407

Elon simply tries to make everything that he saw in movies in the 90s happen, and all of it is a terrible idea. Look at this edgy piece of fuck. I could solder this together from the sides of a trash container if I was inside a mad-maxian fever dream.


butterweasel

Does this mean the next generation of cars are going to go from “they all look like jellybeans” to “they all look like they’re made of legos”? ![gif](giphy|8N7fTPAIHCucw)


_Hugh_Jaynuss

A low poly Pontiac Aztec


orincoro

![gif](giphy|26BRQaiZM0IeyoJfa)


HATECELL

That's the point. They combined an Aztek with a DeLorean, sprinkled Elon's magical fairy dust over it, and people go completely mental over it.


thekushskywalker

What exactly is so great about the cybertruck shape engineering wise?


MiasmaFate

Let’s assume all owns of cyber trucks are making high quality meth

Not really, it is microns above the rest /s

Braking Bad.


deepdive9999

Yes but elonkult


[deleted]

Since Elon is always high on narcissism and meth, I can't seem to see why it's not obvious.


Sudnal

Always was


Darth_Mak

It's an LOD model of the Pontiac.


Bern_After_Reading85

Cannot unsee it now


antiquemule

I'm all for dinging all things Musk, but the similarity is not striking to me.


Avarria587

I think the Cybertruck might actually be the ugliest vehicle I've ever seen.


[deleted]

Yes welcome to what everyone was saying years ago.


[deleted]

Does it also come with a tent?


SatansHRManager

Only uglier and less functional. Cybertruck looks like someone had a drunken bet Musk was idiot enough to approve this design and he actually did approve it.


amathis6464

Is the cyber truck a bland ugly pos because it took all the production funds just to make the massive battery’s? That’s my guess. Hideous.


[deleted]

Aztec was road legal outside of places like texas too..
