If a new design is a dream, an entry point or road sign to a potential future, the cyber truck points to a scorched earth dead zone incompatible with life, defined by scarcity and violence, one in which I want no part

I’ll take, instead, the bike bus, the cargo bike, the e-trike, the scooter… the bullet train, the tram, the streetcar, the bus! Give me multimodal electric!
I want transportation designs that reflect the imaginations and hopes and loves of their designers, designs that point to a future in which life is thriving and fun and beyond our wildest dreams for how cool things can be!

@seachanger Yup. There is nothing about the Cybertruck that makes me think it can do the job of the 23 year old full-sized diesel pick-up currently in the back yard. No one seems to have actually made a real truck with an electric motor yet.

The Cybertruck is this generations Chevy El Camino.
