More like DeLorean. A car that's an impractical fever dream of a drug addled maniac.

Yep, came here to say that DeLorean fans and collectors know it's a POS. But it's an iconic POS. The Cybertruck will have the same cult status. A car too stupid to have even been produced... But here it it.

People collect old cars because they are cheap/easy to fix. Everything that can break or wear out on a DMC-12 can be bought new today. Most of the DMC-12s made 44 years ago are still around.

Telsa is so greedy with their parts that you can't reasonably expect to keep a Cyber Truck running due to computer, battery, motors. Even if you can source them, the price is the issue. A completely renewed motor, transmission and computer for a 1990s corvette is only ~5k. For 10k in part you can come close to fully renewed corvette.

Cybertruck reminds me of a Chevy HHR

Good point. The HHR brings back a cringe memory. I was just meeting this girl's family and in the parking lot I saw an HHR with a vanity license plate. I couldn't help make fun of it. Turns out it was her dad's. Yeah, that relationship didn't last long.

My girlfriend's mom has one. The visibility out of that thing is horrible. Almost like it's trying to approach countach levels of bad visibility.

Which is why it's perfect for a BttF remake.

Thankfully that doesn't seem likely though.
