The Cybertruck will be our generation's Pontiac Aztek, amirite?
by Mean_You_74074 weeks ago
Must be a regional thing. Around my parts, the PT cruiser holds this distinguished position
by Friendly-Bag4 weeks ago
Aztek is way cooler than the PT cruiser. Plus Walter white broke the windshield in his a couple times, the cybertruck has a infamous window break incident. Better analogy I think. Walter white ran down drug dealers with his while himself being a drug dealer. So I can only assume that musk will soon be running down self absorbed man children.

man children. *men child. It's like culs de sac.

Dude what are you smoking? The Aztek is the worst piece of garbage. PT cruiser had style
by Key-Journalist4 weeks ago
Nothing rolls quite like a PT cruiser.
by Warm_Key_70444 weeks ago
I'd even say that the Aztec was ahead of its time. The crossover market has exploded since and half the cars on the road look like better looking stepchildren of that vehicle. I know I'll never say the same thing about the cyber truck.
by ferngutmann4 weeks ago
You see a Pontiac Aztek and think Walter White, I see a Pontiac Aztek and think Dark Angel. We are not the same.
by Warm_Key_70444 weeks ago
The PT Cruiser sold in huge numbers though.

I actually liked the look of the PT Cruiser. It's an awful car, but it looked cool imo.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
Yup. I got that, and that's why I actually liked the look. I'm not a boomer but I love that older aesthetic. It wasn't perfect but I felt like it was kinda cool looking. The car itself though was absolute garbage. Not only was it under powered but unstable too.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
I still think it would make a near perfect sleeper drag race car. Put a midship V8 straight into a big tubbed rear end... if I had money it would be silly fun, but if I can ever afford a project car, I don't think that will be it.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
The cybertruck is a death trap.
by Dgaylord4 weeks ago
As someone who had the unfortunate pleasure of owning a PT Cruiser, I can confirm it was a truly awful car. The only redeeming feature was the hatchback, which wasn't even that large. I personally didn't find it cool looking and hated that I had to drive that ugly thing around in high school and college.

cybertruck is an apc wannabe that's designed by a manchild pontiak is driven by the heisenberg himself yeah pontiak is better hands down
by benedict084 weeks ago
Exactly. The Aztek suffered from being 10 years ahead of its time. Compare it to any mid-size SUV these days and it fits right in. People just couldn't jive with the angular backend when it came out. Ridgeline got some similar treatment. The Cybertruck is a shoddily-built vehicle with awful QA/QC. It's going to go down like the Pinto, not the Aztek.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
Can second this. I drive a white car and if I don't clay polish and seal the paint, it gets covered in little rust marks. They completely disappear with removal, and are not the car rusting
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
All cars use metal brake pads and every time you step on the brakes, metallic clouds of dust swirl about in the air Particularly the first time you hit the brakes after a rain. Sometimes you can even hear it grinding the rust off the brake rotors. And the brakes will be a bit more grabby the first press or two, after a rain. Depending on the vehicle, sometimes it will accumulate a bit on the sides of the tire or the fenders.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
I'm more reminded of the DeLorean. I wonder why that is..
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
Well, the DeLorean's electrical components failed and trapped an owner inside their own car. As far as I am aware from recent video, the Cybertruck electrical components are designed to trap you inside small puddles of water. To-may-to, to-mah-to
by Maggiotaryn4 weeks ago
Because it looks cool and can time travel at 88 mph?
by Flashy_Cookie4 weeks ago
Cybertruck I have such a love/hate relationship with. I think it's awful in so many ways, just to be different. Eg you don't need sharp corners on the bodywork that would mess up a pedestrian. And put a clear coat on the stainless, it will still look cool. BUT I'm so damn happy it exists. It feels like 90% of the cars out there are boring mid sized SUVs or utes/standard pick up trucks. All playing safe to protect precious market share. More crazy cars please!!
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
I strongly agree we need more crazy cars. More style, more cars that generate love/hate reactions. But the cyber truck is just dumb. Also, can we get a ban on white cars? Why are 2 out of 3 cars on the road white? I mean at least be honest about it and go for beige if you are that boring.
by ksauer4 weeks ago
Fleet vehicles are often white. White is seen as the basic cheapest color. Environmentally, white has the highest albedo so theoretically should remain cooler than other colors.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
Because most people buy white cars. It's not that there are not other options, it's that they chose to buy it in white.
by Donny554 weeks ago
White is often cheaper. I was offered $100 off if I chose white. Apparently colours are expensive. This is why so many fleet trucks are white. The corporate accountants value that $100.
by schmidtgaetano4 weeks ago
Yes, you listed colours. Very nice! Next challenge: shapes.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
It also hides small dents/bad bodywork better.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
Shown to have higher resale value,
by schmidtgaetano4 weeks ago
I mean most of the time there's not other options, grayscale is very dominant. Go to any major brand dealership and 70% of the cars are grayscale. For white in particular, I'm not sure. I just want interesting car colors back on the road.
by Rosenbaumwebste4 weeks ago
I get whatever is the color closest to "road dust and dirt".
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
More wood plz
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
Bring back the station wagons
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
White is usually the included color, so people who don't care about color just stick with that instead of paying more. Make white the paid option and people won't pick it anymore.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
One of the major reasons is heat. White cars reflect more sunlight and therefore don't get as hot and uncomfortable sitting in a parking lot in the summer.
by DiligentEmploy4 weeks ago
I'd rather ban black cars. Harder to see at night and absorbs a ton of sunlight in the summer, requiring more AC use.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
Playing safe to protect market share = making products that sell = making products people like.
by Ylehner4 weeks ago
Agreed, but there's unique and useful and then there's the cybertruck. This will make other manufacturers stick even harder to the current mould.
by Ylehner4 weeks ago
I once heard someone use the term appliance in reference to a car. (Note:pre EVs taking off, so not related to that). It really hit me. As a lifetime fan of cars and a briefish stint at a car manufacturer, cars are so important to me and deciding on one I count as a major diligent process. But a large percentage of the population see it as A to B…. An appliance to do a job.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
But it's nice to occasionally see bizarre wacky projects released and it's good for consumers as a whole to have the option (even if 98% of people don't need it).
by Head-Piece-87434 weeks ago
Our Tesla MYLR has been good. There was one front camera service we needed, but since the car has had 1000s of trouble free miles. Maybe some other folks have had it worse, but I got nothing to complain about.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
Same experience here... over 80,000 km without any issues. People love to come online to complain about their issues, but most don't do the same if their car is working without trouble. Considering a Tesla is the highest selling vehicle in the world I'd expect an even bigger volume of complaints if the quality was actually that bad.

My experience is with folks that work at Tesla.

The Pontiac Aztek was my generation's Ford Pinto.
by Even_Tap_94254 weeks ago
Eh, the Pinto was unsafe, unreliable, and would catch on fire. I don't think the Aztek had any problems like that, nor was it particularly unreliable (now the PT Cruiser, that was unreliable, with the notorious Chrysler 2.7L V6) And while the Aztek is very ugly, I'm not sure the Pinto was particularly bad looking
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
Unsightly at any speed...
by Cultural-Bake-92424 weeks ago
The aztek had more than minor saftey issues, like the fuel pump spraying fuel when in accidents transmissons getting stuck in drive, and of course, the infamous ABS issue, where the brakes would just decide not to work
by Even_Tap_94254 weeks ago
The PT Cruiser never had a 2.7L V6. Largest displacement engine they ever had was a 2.4L I4.

I once saw a cyber truck for the first time in real life, it was at my neighborhood Walmart, and it's really weird and ugly looking car.

That's an insult to the Pontiac Aztek
by Giovannabosco4 weeks ago
...... 'our generation'? I was around when the Aztec was part of the grand prize on Survivor.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
Hey, don't insult the Aztek. It's plastic siding and small tires aside, every crossover SUV on the road looks like a refined version of the Aztek. In 40 years, only Tesla will have fielded a truck that looks like that.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
Definitely worse than that lmao, I think the CyberTruck will be a laughing stock for the next century.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
It's a unibody though, not going to be doing much off-roading unless you want to risk cracking the body from what I've read.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
It has as much in common with the Hummer H2. It's a flashy truck of low utility, for needy men who will hang around a convenient store parking lot hoping some comes up and compliments it. Which isn't to say it wont sell very well initially, there are plenty of needy men with micro dick syndrome. It will quickly become point of ridicule in a year or two and they will flood the after-market. Yet another flashy trinket for the American idiot.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
I was thinking more like the DeLorean. But not nearly as cool.

The cybertruck will be a blunder much much bigger than the aztek.
by TipNo4 weeks ago
From what I recall of the Aztec, it was at least a functional vehicle. Stupid looking and not designed for what it was marketed as... nevermind. Its exactly like the Cybertruck.
by Anonymous4 weeks ago
I am convinced people don't like it because they hate Musk.
by Ok-Yak-52374 weeks ago
I do. It's amazing the hate of all things Musk in recent years. People liked him before he started expressing beliefs that go against the mainstream Internet beliefs. It's blatantly obvious. I wish people just owned up to it.
by Ok-Yak-52374 weeks ago
Id rather an Aztek with 150,000 miles on it.
by rosa704 weeks ago
Actually the Aztek was a pretty good car that did a lot of innovative and functional things. It was just unfortunately the fugliest thing on 4 wheels at the time. By comparison the Cybertruck is a useless piece of garbage that is as stupid looking as it is useless.
by New_Specialist_21504 weeks ago
Good lord I hope so. The thing is hideous as hell. My buddy desperately wants one and honestly I hope he doesn't get one because he'd easily get tired of it and end up replacing it immediately at great financial loss to himself.
by Cute_Pause_93054 weeks ago

Please don't compare it to the Aztec, that's offensive to Aztecs

Now now, let's not insult the Aztek like that. Put one beside a Cybertruck and the Aztek suddenly looks like it has a small amount of style if you squint into the sun.

Your account is three years old so you missed it, but this entire website used to idolize Musk and Tesla. This still applies to most people. Heck, I watched a Doug Demuro review yesterday where he said the CyberTruck is the coolest car ever made.

It was an interesting concept, but concept cars don't work on the road for many reasons. The cybertruck has then got WORSE between concept and production.
by Ylehner4 weeks ago
I always had the opposite opinion. It was so mind numbingly ugly I always assumed that the only people who liked it were either Elon Musk fans or vision impaired.

In high school there is always that kid that tries talking trash to cheapen the image of anyone building anything cool. Or visibly putting in effort in the classroom or in sports. Crippling envy is a hell of a thing, not even once. The bigger the cool things no one else is doing the more energy from the envious sitting around not doing that. Crippling envy is the engine of the loser.
