to me designers are the real architects of history, however, the cybertruck example as brash i disagree with for specific reasons.

it is a perfect example of what it does without any deference to other design languages. instead of po-mo symbolism, it really is just the sufficient metal and glass to do the thing. an essential truck is unsentimental working capital. its not a duck, its an undecorated shed.

i think the design will age very well because there's nothing to add to it.

I don't disagree with you about its utilitarian aesthetics, even if it seems ugly to me. But an amusing irony is that most customers probably won't ever use it as a truck.
