    you can tell it’s bad at being a truck by taking one glance at it. all the other companies didn’t arrive at the same design via a process of convergent evolution because they’re a bunch of uncreative sheep thinkers. it’s simply the shape a truck must be in order for it to do the things that trucks do

      Eh, the massive front bonnet that stops you from seeing pedestrians is definitely a design choice, not a necessity.

        Yes, massive front ends is a terrible design choice but that isn’t one of the design features they are talking about.

        Clearance, cab shape, large wheel wells, flat sides on the bed to make it accessible or for adding racks, bumpers you can step on to climb up, and other functional features are what they are talking about. A large number of trucks have had sloping front hoods and still included all of the truck featured that matter for doing truck things and which the cybertruck failed to include.
