    That’s quite exactly what they were going for actually. Lo-res graphic to represent hi-tech. Somewhat like military camo is now pixelated for no practical reason.

        nah, you’re totally off topic. shitting on the cybertruck because of looks is getting so old. people just want to vent. space probes and military equipment is not better looking. they choose to vent on the cybertruck for reasons other than looks. “they say it’s ugly so it’s fine for me to call it ugly too - so glad i can finally call something ugly! Ugly! ugly! ugly!” these aren’t objective opinions. if you want to talk practicality, note the limitations of forming and shaping stainless steel. but practicality isn’t what i was responding to. sorry for distracting you away.

        Neither pixellation nor digitization contributes to the camouflaging effect. The pixellated style, however, simplifies design and eases printing on fabric, compared to traditional patterns. While digital patterns are becoming widespread, critics maintain that the pixellated look is a question of fashion rather than function.
