not to forget that Gandini also was responsible for the looks of this car. it almost seems it was a strong inspiration for tesla 
that car was/is a peace of crap by the way, suspension was hydraulic and hooked up with the breaks countless unfixable problems.
But itâs diesel engine runs fine on used french fries oil making it cheaper than electric carâŚ
Design rationale often deviates from what the peanut gallery generally assumes initially.
Hereâs how von Holzhausen described:
I still think this car design rather has problems regarding having almost no curvature and really bad details. It almost looks like an very early design model. Since my cousin owns a Tesla S, you can even notice many design errors such as wrong gap spacing, twisted curves etc. on Tesla Production Models. But I seriously think that the car would look much better with a refined design. I really donât think this minimalistic design/shape is the real problem this car has. It clearly is different, but if this is good is subjective. All other shown cars in this thread do have more curvature and much more detail. In my oppinion good and bad design are always stronger related to its detail and the (designers) craftmanship behind, and not so much about the idea or shape itself.
IMHO the whole approach is a fundamental misconception. But probably these steps are needed to gain acceptance for the change. But thatâs a different storyâŚ
BTW. there was a similar move by Wally Power in the super yacht industry
Perhaps the internet can âfixâ it or Rhino users and CageEditâŚ

If this is going to be the future of design, then thereâs no need for fixing filleting in Rhino. Just sayinâ

reminds me of thisâŚ
and since we are at it, lets not forget tanksâŚ
i think i will stop here before the 3rd world war breaks looseâŚ
Ah. Lancias of my youth.

Yes. The Cybertruck isnât beautiful - but I think itâs a bold move.
No, I agree.
Yes, definitely.

That âdesign exerciseâ made the Cybertruck much, much worse⌠

Stainless steel is really hard to forge. The same with the Delorean the material dictates the form. Tesla is already having issues with panel gaps with aluminum. Going with stainless also solves their paint issues.
Likely design intent to make your amygdala fireâŚ
well if so, probably not the sexual part of it 
I really never got the point of having a Stainless Steel skin!
Really I hope that such a car is not allowed to drive on european roads. There is a good reason why a carbody easily folds together on impact. And its not only about the object getting hit by such a car, but also about its own passengers. I still really donât know if this whole presentation was actually a hoax or notâŚ
I doubt Europe is the intended market for a full size pick up.
I wouldnât be surprised if it was, in any case the presentation has been a perfect publicity stunt
Has anyone added physics simulation methods to @stevebaerâs RhinoCommon Particle System class?
We need it so we can draw the windowsâŚ
Bah! Draw a triangle, and then subdivide⌠indefinitely.
Donât overdo it.
