A sci-fi defence of the Cybertruck
So this is what happens when a Blade Runner fan also happens to be a multibillionaire. Released in November 2019 in Los Angeles, the exact time and place of the 1982 movie, the Cybertruck is a cross between Doc Brown’s DeLorean from
Back to the Future and K’s far-flung Peugeot in Blade Runner 2049. The future is very geometric, apparently, and Cybertruck fully embraces angular sci-fi design. From a gearhead’s perspective, the newest Tesla is completely perplexing. For a sci-fi fan? It’s love at first sight.
