Ok Honda, you see it right? 2025 Honda Element would absolutely dust this trash.

Clearly there's been a market segment since 2011 that still wants it so c'mon.

This cybertruck feels like it would be such visual pollution on campgrounds and stuff.

The Cyber truck is like the Pontiac Aztec's special ed electrically charged cousin.

Just get a real tent or sleep in your car. Why the fuck would you ever want to half ass both?

The actual product bows at the top. Their entire back half of the truck is flat, wouldn't a lightweight hardtop would be a much better choice over tent poles across the roof?

Especially if they're going for looks.

  • It would be easier to match the angle of the open tent to that of the front of the truck. (Although even the render doesn't match it, so maybe they want the extra angle).

  • They already lose several inches in horizontal space, they could fit a metal prop in there as a redundancy to support the top.

  • Could add a large plexiglass tinted window in the hardtop.

  • It would look a lot better when closed into the bed.

I'm a little sad the new VW van doesn't have a Westfalia trim. Those pop up campers were great: Stove, fridge, sink, table, and it sleeps four. Plus with a tailwind you might hit 55.

Adam Something has an infallible equation that explains all of this kind of stuff: rich asshole + stupid idea with tons of nice CGI renders = dumb shit

I had one of these for my Avalanche, it cost $200.

Looks like Elon accidentally added a zero to his price tag and everyone just kinda accepted it.
