This thing looks like the most inefficient vehicle of all time. You can see with your eyes that it's poorly engineered. Why did anyone believe any of the positive claims made about it?

I mean, every serious review out there places the cybertruck as a solid choice for electric truck, on par and reasonably priced against alternatives. Surely not as hyped as originally planned, but still a solid choice.

What amazing eyes do you have that spot "obvious poor engineering"...?

The body lines in various places have been misalined for some time. Before I got into IT, I did body and paint for years, and it seems a running joke about the body panel misalignment in the cybertrucks for some time. Even from afar you can see when panels don't align.

Can you link to some example pictures?

This is a frequent, but fairly disingenuous attack on cybertruck. All these pics are from preproduction models and the most recent models basically don't have this issue at all.
