Ugly is only skin deep

[Fenestrator]

When Volkswagen ran it's successful marketing campaign for the Beetle, they took on the competition simply. The Tesla Cybertruck is similar in concept and individuality in that it is way outside the boundaries of anything yet built to date. I saw the similarities with the VW Beetle and the Tesla CT. Judging by the initial deposits paid, I'd say the Tesla CT has the chance in history to be the next Beetle.

Another car that made a impact, but didn't sell as well as the VW Beetle was the Saab 900. Designed for aerodynamics primarily, it looked like no other car out there. Sharing the same form = function formula as Tesla CT, the 900 was ugly in appearance compared to other cars out there. However the product appealed to people with brains that saw beyond the "skin" of the product and deeper, more holistically into the product's core. Saab owners loved their cars as do Tesla owners who share aerodynamic, intelligently designed cars.

Agree with you 100%. I like the look of the CT but is that because it appeals to how I will use it? It is also like a future looking vehicle and I like that.

I find it hard to say something functional is ugly. Better aerodynamics than any current truck...

I find honesty to be attractive. hence, I like how the Cyber looks...honest.

My saying. I ain't good looking, but I'm something different.

To quote one of my old buddies...."Beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes all the way to the bone" and "beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.
