a design that throws any modern safety feature in designing overboard is a bad design. It's ugly, and it will age even uglier. It's an incredibly dangerous design for anyone not inside it, it should be banned.
To clarify I'm talking about aesthetics. I'm not defending anything safety wise. But that's an unrelated argument from "it's ugly".
It's clearly an emotionally charged object, which is why in one of my other comments here I said I'd probably accept a pt cruiser instead, just because people make the instant connection between the truck and elon musk.
It stands out, it's recognizable. I guess that works for some people, I personally think it's ugly. I stylewise somewhat get that the low-poly idea has an appeal to people, but then the no rounded corners and the choice of material totally kills it for me.
