It sure looks different, but at least there are rational choices in the design. Not the “Stainless steel is so cool! Wouldn’t it be cool to build a stainless steel car? Oh wait, we can’t really form stainless, so let’s just fold it from triangles.” approach to design
Cyber Truck’s sloped frontend is much more aerodynamic than the Canoo jellybean shape.
And if you’re building a truck, you probably want a durable material. Stainless is going to hold up a lot better than the aluminum that other manufacturers are using now.
Are you sure? Sloped front ends don’t really matter for aero. A smooth surface with no edges is important for the frontal surface area. A sloped long back does help (but a pickup bed may be terrible).
And people say the cybertruck is ugly. 🤮
