I wouldn’t buy a CyberTruck, (or any other product from a Musk company) even if it was free. F that guy and everything he’s associated with.

Don’t fall for it, consumer, you’re better than a Tesla.

Had me in the first half!

Wake me up when I can get one at $750 per month and $0 down ...

Real kick in the teeth to anyone who took a lease deal before this, although I have no sympathy for Cybertruck buyers in any capacity and they deserve to feel the consequences of their poor choices.

The CEO of SpaceX, Tesla, Twitter, and Neuralink now has significant influence over the very government entities that regulate or contract with his businesses. Has a bigger conflict of interest ever existed?

Teslas product is very stale and outdated and the guy at the top is a creep. He bought the US government, among many other reasons, so he can use it to promote himself and his business and to use available regulatory tools to promote his interests and businesses and to shield them from competition.

1st Gear: Last sales report, the decrease in California Tesla sales amounted to a 10% overall global sales reduction. That’s big. Regarding Tesla wanting to move more operations to Texas. Remember when he moved Tesla’s R&D, only to move it back within months? He couldn’t get enough people to make that move, nor…

Thankfully our government is worried about immigrants and trans people, so we can lose our shit to China in yet another technology race.

Yes, please rush these planes out without any quality control checks.

This is great. Thanks for the article. As for the comments about architecture... Architects spend years in school defending their designs. In the real world, the owner is always right and the Architects roll over and design garbage. It’s akin to ignoring your engineer, your doctor, or your lawyer. Just because you…

Frank Lloyd Wright was doing similarly cool things in remote winter-frigid places like Cloquet, MN. Wish there were more examples across the country...

Does this count? It was actually preserved and moved to a Seattle park after the business closed. The boot was the restroom, btw.

I adore googie architecture.

It’s funny because the second picture in your grouping is really just a stack of boxes all lumped together, but in an interesting way.  So it’s simultaneously boring in some respects and novel in others.  Could at least be a nice stepping stone between “cookie cutter” design that’s easier to build and something that’s…

For a taste of it on the East Coast visit Wildwood, NJ (they sometimes call it Doo-Wop architecture there, ugh). There are lots of really great and well-preserved modernist and Googie hotels and motels there.

Fair enough, still hate it lol. It just makes almost all modern buildings so freaking boring.

...What’s Granny’s @? =)

100% agree, I wish new buildings could have more to their design than just big beige box with a sign, being kind of the only decoration. It seems like every town in the US instituted building codes that forbid any kind of choice/options for new buildings. The only ones we have that have a neat design are old buildings…

Personally, I think it is cool. Especially with what modern “architecture” is. Now cost and speed are preferenced, so we get a whole lot of the same thing over and over. I am also a big mid-century modern fan when it comes to houses though.
