I didn't know you could make a Cybertruck look uglier, but I learn new things every day

@LilahTovMoon at least it's not a jank mobile. When it comes to shit like this it could always be worse.

@LilahTovMoon Cybertruck used for some sort of trade? It's just hilarious how people in this country don't use vans. You could have an electric Ford Transit with some sort of specific trade package for less than a base one of these, and you wouldn't look like an utter clown in the process.

@LilahTovMoon I guess that's one way to get usable space out of it, though they probably could have used a little more cost benefit analysis before purchase.

@LilahTovMoon i don't know. I'm kinda impressed. sure, I don't know why you'd buy a cybertruck, but the diy topper makes me less likely to hate the person driving it? seems practical, at least. and like it's used for work.

@LilahTovMoon Is that plywood? It should be plywood.

@LilahTovMoon That is, uhm... kind of impressive in its own way.

I feel like they could have spent less by selling the piece of crap and buying something that won't trap them in a death fire someday, but each to their own.

(Then again, this definitely looks mostly done by hand, so who knows. It's even very poorly painted, lol.)

[uastronomer@mastodon.monoceros.co.za]

@LilahTovMoon and yet it also somehow looks like they turned it into something useful!

@rjblaskiewicz @LilahTovMoon

It seems to be cheap plywood, spray painted w silver Rustoleum, Is that even street legal ?

[korgie@tech.lgbt]

@LilahTovMoon An "ill-fitting" cap matches the rest of the body which came from the factory with about the same level of fitment.

At least this makes the thing a little bit useful. A lot less useful than basically any van as well as a lot less reliable and a lot more expensive... but still an improvement in usability.

[shadsterling@mastodon.social]

@uastronomer @LilahTovMoon that was my first thought, but my second thought was that the whole thing might just slide off the back when it goes uphill

[dofain@mastodon.social]

@LilahTovMoon it gets even worse when you know there's only plastic attachments for the panels

[olivia_m11@tech.lgbt]

@LilahTovMoon tbh looks not bad

[jeremydebose@mstdn.social]

@LilahTovMoon this is my favorite one I've seen in the wild...ok the only one I've seen. With a self-deprecating license plate.

[tedmielczarek@mastodon.social]

@LilahTovMoon this makes me think of the stupid vehicle mode they made for Rodimus Prime in the original Transformers movie.

[notthatdelta@furry.engineer]

@LilahTovMoon Phew, that was certainly a decision.

Funny thing is, the actual lines of the topper sort of work. The construction, however, screams "I blacked out in a Home Depot".

Overall, a solid 2/10 effort.

[pizzademon@mastodon.online]

@LilahTovMoon I was about to write, "why didn't they just buy something in the aftermarket..." When I realized the Cybertruck hasn't done numbers to create a robust aftermarket

[rperezrosario@mastodon.social]

@LilahTovMoon

Sweet baby Jesus it looks like a jetpack.

[greatbigtable@mastodon.social]

@LilahTovMoon the future is now.

[mariyadelano@hachyderm.io]

@LilahTovMoon I gagged
