Britain doesn’t really understand trucks @linebaugh , we subsist with white van mans and parking restrictions dissuade taking a 4x4 Ulrika into central city hubs
notes of Buck Rogers but brutalist retro futuristic heft across its bodywork angles, part shit Chrysler with even less torque
by comparison, after generations of radical transport design and innovation, plucky Britain‘s engineering arc peaked when the Sinclair c5 was conjured, fuck using such a death trap in the snow

I think of k with quite a few modern car designs

What we didn't expect was that cars of the future wouldn't look minimalist and sleek but bulbous and tumorific with a thousand counter-intuitively aerodynamic contours going on as CAD and improved manufacturing technology have meant that makers would show off by making the extreme anti-sleekness that was hitherto infeasible. If your car is sleek it suggests that your stuck with the rudimentary tech that constrained even the crazy sports car prototypes of yesteryear.

Maybe it's late in the day (thread) to be asking but, what does it do? I'm assuming it's electric like the Tesla car, and it's bigger so it's to be compared with an SUV type thing, and it looks stupid/supercool - is that it?
Don't say anything technical or with numbers and actual spec but is it broadly comparable with other SUV truck type things it's competing with?

It's very fast, powerful and made of bulletproof stainless steel. If needed, it can be converted to run solely on liberal tears.
True test is when we start seeing them on the school run but this does feel like an unprecedented next step from big white SUVs.
I was thinking day, as I crossed the road, and a red land rover climbed thd pavement to avoid another car, like it was a tank, that we as humans cant get bigger or add armour to ourselves, so we're doing it to the cars.

Modern car design I should say, I think has become more conservative. This looks like a fatter Aston Martin Bulldog and probably loads of other cars from that era.
