When Tesla announced the Cybertruck back in 2019, it felt like the world was staring at something out of a dystopian sci-fi movie. The angular design, the "bulletproof" glass (lol, more on that later), and Elon Musk’s usual f*kcing over-the-top promises had people buzzing. Fast forward to today, and it’s fair to say that the Cybertruck hasn’t just fallen short of expectations—it’s been an absolute s**tshow. Let’s unpack why this so-called revolution in automotive engineering has turned into a slow-motion trainwreck, from botched designs to dangerous oversights and the lawsuits that are inevitably on the horizon.

First things first, the Cybertruck looks f*kcing ridiculous. Sure, the edgy, polygonal aesthetic grabbed attention, but functionally? It’s a nightmare. Designers, engineers, and even the average Joe who’s tried to parallel park know that a vehicle’s shape needs to account for aerodynamics, visibility, and practicality. The Cybertruck? Nah, Elon decided to make it look like something a six-year-old doodled in MS Paint.

The sheer size and shape of the thing make it impractical for tight urban environments or off-road adventures—you know, the things trucks are supposed to excel at. Plus, the unpainted stainless steel body isn’t just a gimmick; it’s a safety hazard. Imagine a sunny day and this beast coming at you on the freeway—instant blindness from the glare. Who approved this design?

Oh, we have to revisit that demo. Elon Musk proudly stood on stage, hyping up the Cybertruck’s supposedly unbreakable windows. Then, as we all know, he handed a metal ball to his head of design, Franz von Holzhausen, who threw it at the window. Smash. Not once, but twice. The second window broke, too.

Elon’s excuse? The glass got weakened when they smacked the door with a sledgehammer earlier in the demo. Uh, maybe don’t do that? The botched demo became meme material for months, but it also raised serious questions about the truck’s durability claims.

Tesla’s always been a company that overpromises and underdelivers, but the Cybertruck has taken that to a whole new level. Initially, production was supposed to start in late 2021. Here we are, several years later, and only a handful of Cybertrucks have rolled off the assembly line. Tesla blamed everything from supply chain issues to redesigns, but let’s face it: they bit off more than they could chew.

Tesla’s manufacturing process for the Cybertruck is incredibly complex due to its unconventional design. Stainless steel isn’t exactly easy to work with, and the unique exoskeleton requires specialized machinery. Add to that Elon’s insistence on packing it with cutting-edge tech (that isn’t ready yet), and you’ve got a recipe for endless delays.

This is where things get truly grim. Safety experts have raised alarms about the Cybertruck’s design from day one. The rigid stainless steel body doesn’t absorb impact well, meaning it’s likely to cause more damage in collisions—to both the passengers and anyone unfortunate enough to be hit by it.

The truck’s size and weight also make it a hazard on the road. Pedestrian safety? Forget it. If you’re hit by a Cybertruck, you’re not just injured—you’re pancaked. And with no traditional crumple zones, even minor accidents could turn deadly for the driver and passengers.

Tesla’s autopilot system—which Musk insists on hyping—has already faced scrutiny for causing accidents. Putting that tech into a 6,000-pound monster that’s essentially a giant steel battering ram? Recipe for disaster.

Tesla’s legal department better start hiring, because the lawsuits are inevitable. Let’s break it down:

Tesla’s factories have a long history of safety violations, and the Cybertruck’s unique production process has reportedly made things worse. Workers have complained about grueling conditions, with injuries mounting as Tesla tries to speed up production. It’s only a matter of time before someone sues.

When this beast finally hits the roads in larger numbers, the accidents will start piling up. Given the design flaws and safety concerns, Tesla is practically begging for lawsuits from crash victims and their families. Imagine the court cases: "Your Honor, my client’s car was obliterated by a Cybertruck because its driver couldn’t see out of the thing."

Remember the "bulletproof" glass and the durability promises? If those claims don’t hold up in real-world scenarios, Tesla could face legal action for false advertising. Consumer protection laws exist for a reason, and you can bet some lawyer out there is itching to take on Elon.

Tesla likes to market itself as an eco-friendly company, but the Cybertruck raises some serious questions. The stainless steel exoskeleton requires significant energy and resources to produce, making its carbon footprint higher than traditional trucks. And let’s not even get started on the batteries. Mining for lithium and other rare earth metals isn’t exactly green.

Plus, let’s be real: no one buying a Cybertruck is doing so for environmental reasons. It’s a status symbol, plain and simple. Driving a 6,000-pound steel behemoth around town isn’t helping the planet, no matter how much Tesla greenwashes it.

A big part of the Cybertruck’s hype stems from Elon Musk himself. The guy’s got a legion of fanboys who’ll defend him no matter what. But even the most diehard Musk stans are starting to see through the cracks. The constant delays, the safety concerns, the broken promises—it’s all adding up.

Elon’s tweets about the Cybertruck have been especially unhinged. He’s promised features like amphibious capabilities and a laser windshield wiper. At this point, it feels like he’s trolling us. But the problem is, people believe him. And when those promises inevitably fall through, Tesla will face even more backlash.

So, where does Tesla go from here? Honestly, it’s hard to say. The company has poured billions into the Cybertruck, so they’re not going to abandon it. But unless they address the myriad issues—from production delays to safety concerns to legal risks—this thing is doomed to be more of a punchline than a paradigm shift.

In the end, the Cybertruck is a perfect encapsulation of Tesla’s broader problems: overpromising, underdelivering, and prioritizing hype over substance. If Elon and his team don’t get their s**t together, the Cybertruck might just go down as one of the biggest automotive disasters in history.
