There are people that find these things attractive.... But I'm not sure you want to be with them
One of my favorite comments I've ever seen on big social media was "I like a man who drives a big truck, it shows me they have money!"
Which, oh sweetie no. It shows a high probability they dont handle money well, because that thing probably has a massive loan, with some probable godawful terms attached. Most people who are doing well don't spend their money on things that lose half their value as soon as you drive it off the lot. Now if they're a literal millionaire, maybe, but the venn diagram there is a sliver of people.
Unfortunately there are A LOT of people that find them attractive. A stunningly high amount. I would almost guarantee that it's more of a branding/"all hail God emperor musk" obsession for most but the point remains. There are people out there that legitimately think it looks very cool and beautiful tho which boggles my mind but whatevs.
In general I like the approach to make such a futuristic looking thing with sharp angles etc. „like from a sci-fi movie“. The problem is the thing only looks cool in marketing brochures with the right lighting and photoshopping.
In real life the thing looks goofy AF, like a joke. Like it’s ordered from TEMU.
It’s immediately obvious that it’s just a janky, non-solid tin cover over a normal car body.
Don't forget they rust if they get wet
It looks like something "sci fi" from a 90s video game, when low-res polygon models were the best computers could do.
yeah but that could be cool if it wasn't done so "Tesla-y".
