One thing about the Tesla Cybertruck that has been nagging at me...

In the back of my mind, the design/style of the Cybertruck was reminding me of something else... and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it... until now.

It makes me think of a fighter jet I’ve seen before... !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

And here is the Cybertruck for comparison:

The long rear slope is also a common eco-mod done to pickup trucks to improve their fuel economy

Anybody who buys a non-Tesla pickup truck and does a lot of highway driving would be wise to also get an aerodynamically correct cap... like this one with louvers:

This design feature will give the Tesla truck a huge aero advantage over other electric trucks like the upcoming Rivian R1T... which will have a meaningful impact at highway speeds.

And now I shall refer to the Tesla truck as the Hopeless Diamond

Stealth truck so that you wont need a radar detector since the cops will never see you coming. Just gotta shut off your lights and then maximum speeeeeed! Also I enjoy that in Ace Combat you can dogfight with these. While that game is not exactly a realistic flight simulator to begin with, this aircraft really really breaks all reality for me. Might as well let you dogfight with a B-52, at least that could conceivably actually hold the amount of missiles you get in that game per sortie.

They’ve taken Have Blue and made it as ugly as Tacit Blue ;)

Yup... looks good and has MPG and functional benefits as well.

Elon agrees with you on the F-117:

Kinja'd!!!

(except he forgot about this slide and started talking about the dimensions instead)

Considering the skin and the frame is metal, it's not exactly radar stealthy

It just has to LOOK stealthy. Dont give me any of this radar technical nonsense! Just gotta paint it black with some deck paint from home depot. Dont know why they spent so much on paint with all of this absorption mumbo jumbo. And climate controlled hangars. What a hangar queen.
