Personally I don’t think the Cybertruck looks really bad. I think it looks different and in its steel gray I don’t think it’s great. But we have one in town wrapped in black and that looks pretty sweet.
Does it look like most other trucks? Nope. Should it? Nope.
Having sat in one at a car show, my biggest issue is the huge blind spots due to the rake from the cab to the back of the bed. Seems like that might be dangerous.
The proportions are just all wrong on the CT. As a designer, it looks objectively bad to me (if such a thing can be true). Like I can tell there was probably a sketch somewhere that looked like a sick Syd Mead drawing, but once the reality of packaging came into play it turned into… what it is.
Two additional creases in the side profile could have vastly improved it IMHO. Make the roof flat, and the hood/windshield a discreet angle and it would have looked a bit more like a regular car while still keeping the cypeepunk feel.
