That vehicle looks like its trying too hard to be futuristic.

It's like an extremely high resolution... Of what it would have looked like in a PS1 game. This looks like this is an asset from like Deus Ex on PlayStation.

Even cars in psx games looked like normal cars. This is like that one snes 3d racing game.

Would look right at home in the original Starfox game.

It's not cool enough to be S.T.U.N. Runner. It's more along the lines of Atari's 1980 vector hit, Battlezone, which was later edited into a training sim for the US Army's Bradley Fighting Vehicle.

There wasn't a SNES version of S.T.U.N. Runner, but hot damn that game was sick

I actually really like the way it looks but

  1. I'm not a truck person, like at all
  2. Everything around it turns me off
  3. Especially the association to Musk

It would be a really cool truck, and I think the looks wouldn't be so bad, if it actually lived up to the promises.

Can't look like trash, especially ironically, unless everything else is 200%. Same reason fashion models can dress up in trash but regular people can't.
