That’s a very ugly vehicle…
I actually thought it would look cool at least since it’s wildly different. That’s just plain genuinely ugly.
Similar concept to the discrepancy in the pictures of food in a restaurant menu vs what you’re actually served.
I still think it looks really cool, but I’m still in favour of more accessible public transportation eating away at the space cars have taken from us.
Also I will never ever buy a Tesla, for wide ranging variety of other reasons.
Hey, you support Elon, you get what you deserve.
Ughh it just looks like a fridge with wheels
Most fridges do have wheels, especially the large ones.
Fridges also don’t crush people all that often.
Did you know?
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), there are around 20-30 fatal accidents related to refrigerators in the United States each year.The majority of these accidents involve children under the age of 5 who become trapped inside the refrigerator or freezer.
Tip-over incidents are one of the leading causes of refrigerator-related fatalities, accounting for about 70% of the cases. (Source).
Now you know!
But if we don’t have fridges, all we will have is warm soda and no one likes that.
Except @WarmSoda of course.
LPT: Don’t buy anything chasing after happiness.
IMO it depends on what you’re buying. Exercise and training to compete in sports that I do brings me some of the most happiness I have in my life, so buying sports equipment really does improve my happiness because it lets me do what I enjoy. I enjoy astronomy and just bought my first telescope recently and it has brought me a ton of joy. OTOH I have also been pulled into the cycle of buying shit because it’s new and shiny and once it transforms from a “new thing” into just a “thing”, it loses my attention.
At first glance it reminds me of a 1990s video game where they don’t have the polygons and the graphic card horse power to display what a Pontiac Aztek would look like.
Graphic cards have met a hard limit, and we now have to reduce the visuals of reality to make games look more realistic.
Hot take: It’s no stupider than any other pickup truck, and at least it stands out. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fugly as hell, but that’s still better than being indistinguishable from every other vehicle in its class.
Why would you want your car to stand out?
Social status. The main reason for wanting to stand out (other than your own ego) is because having a higher social status will offer the individual more opportunities in these social games we play.
Perception matters more than the truth for most
