Tesla's head of design was showing off this matte black Cybertruck at the Malibu Cars And Coffee over the weekend, which suggest he's... proud of it?

@dsgolson.bsky.social has all the pics and snark here: insideevs.com/news/694929/...
Just a comically bad fit on the rear taillights of the Cybertruck, so extreme is the mismatch that it almost looks like it was done on purpose, except that it obviously wasn't. Tolerances are measured in centimeters here, not millimeters (let alone microns). Note also the thin, isolated side panel on the right, looking like it wants to cut you. Vehicles aren't supposed to look like that! Just the most amateurish mishmash of panels coming together at the base of the windshield, looking like it was designed by MC Escher and manufactured by a drunk whose only goal in life is tormenting people with OCD. The pivot point of the comically oversized single windshield wiper looms over a series of bad decisions and worse implementations that almost defy description. Nothing fits, nothing matches, nothing makes sense. If metal could scream for the cleansing fire, you wouldn't be able to hear anything else within a mile of this thing. Just a bad hood seam, which is almost refreshing in that at least it's a relatively even bad seam. It's just way wider than it should be, which in fairness is actually one of Tesla's signature brand looks. It's actually pretty rare to see a Tesla whose hood doesn't have some kind of fitment issues, but here it's more obvious because of those uncompromisingly straight lines. At least the matte wrap helps with most of the oilcanning and other surfacing issues, at least until it gets covered in bird shit and other unwashable detritus, at which point it will go back to looking as crap as every other Cybertruck. A wheel arch leans out from the vast expanse of of the Cybertruck's entirely flat bed flank panels, creating a cave at one corner, whose dark expanse lures the eye in. From here it looks like the widest entrance point could fit a child's fingers, just to pick a random example, although the unevenness of the seam suggests that said child's fingers would then quickly become stuck. More to the point, it just looks cheap and shitty for a Fisher Price toy, let alone a six figure truck.
