I’ve only seen one and was shocked at how much worse it looks in person.

It was always, shall we say, polarizing, but the production version managed to nudge every iffy design note in the concept car in the wrong direction. It ends up looking less Mass Effect and more like a Pontiac Aztek in DeLorean cosplay.

Wow, even worse than the pictures that are already super ugly? Yeesh.

I was surprised!!

I see them a lot and am still shocked at how bad they look.

I think the design is neat, though wildly impractical. And "impractical" doesn't begin to cover the engineering and manufacturing flaws. Impractical, fragile and falling apart day-1? Sign me up!

Figure they'll be like Deloreans some day, a few monied collectors keeping them going for nostalgia.

Never had any love for the man, never cared, but if you haven't seen this video, heysus christos, this tells you all you need to know about Musk in a few short seconds.
