Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.


6. Defend your opinion


This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Maybe it’s the retro-futuristic style or reminiscent of sci-fi and cyperpunk, but I genuinely really like the design.

I would never buy one due to the MYRIAD issues plaguing the stainless steel body, interior build quality, or give Tesla money. But still a cool looking car, if nonfunctional truck.

Nah.

It is too simplistic.

Too low poly.

Unrefined.

Too anti-functional.

Almost like some ketamine addict drew it on a napkin and then stuttered 'M - Mm - Make it like, lo- look like this' to some unpaid intern.

It is, imo, an idiot's take on retro future as a style guide.

........

in contrast, we have....

DeLorean.

This Hyundai N Vision 74 concept car.

The modular Slate E Truck.

Those are retro future, look better (imo), and also ... the DeLorean both actually exists, and also actually works, and the Slate truck seems to have at least a decent shot at actually existing.

EDIT: Whoops, I was out of date with my info, looks like the Hyundai N 74 also will actually be produced.

Notice how these look like they could actually maybe be in the background of a shot from the OG Blade Runner, or Akira, or OG Ghost in the Shell... or would not look very out of place in Cyberpunk 2077?

......

All that being said, I do want to join the chorus of people saying this is a great topic for unpopular opinion, lol.

Hyundai is killing it with their EVs

Thanks for showing me the Hyundai. That looks awesome!

To be fair someone else already posted it in the thread elsewhere, I just put it inline.

But yes, either way, glad you like it, I think it looks pretty fuckin' awesome too lol.

Or uh, perhaps 'radical' or 'bodacious'.

That N vision 74 is gorgeous
