The actual trashcan will survive 1 mm of rain.

Also, this picture of the cybercan really shows the incredibly disgusting design. Nevermind the straight lines and outline, even if it’s stupid and all, it is fine, but then look at that unaligned front corner… god damn that’s bad design. It’s like two designers were working from the front and the back and had to meet their lines somewhere. It’s like a 2D design being transferred to 3D and then instead of looking at the third axis, they just snapped it to fit.

The measurements are completely out of proportion too.

And while I’m at it, those pentagonal angled wheel fenders, it’s pretty clear that the designer department hadn’t run out of available angles to use. Oh, you’re using a palette of angles? Well, here’s the wheel fenders going by system default truncated to a pentagon, no or maybe it’s a hexagon being cut above the middle. Who cares… It looks like shit.

Edit: Having looked at the picture twice, I’d appreciate if you could also take a moment to appreciate the design of the trashcan. The slightly angled sides have a purpose. It makes it easier to avoid anything getting stuck when emptied and if fitted with a bag it’d come out without a massive pressure from the vacant air that would be in a fully vertical sided can.

The angles on the top also serves a purpose. It can be accessed from any angle, unlike trashcans that have vertical or horizontal openings. The push opening mechanism simply works better this way and naturally swings back to balance without adding a spring. In case a malicious person were to position trash to obstruct it, it can be pushed from either side and realign after the next user. The only thing I could ask more was if it was round.

Also, the car is not available in Europe. Not for the usual reasons like because of the engine, the weight, the milage or the safety for the driver. No. It was not allowed because the design is shit. It was not approved because its design is unsafe for anyone nearby.

I still feel hurt by just looking at it, but here’s the thing: I understand why the designers couldn’t make it better… There’s no purpose for this car.

How can you design for something that doesn’t have a fucking purpose?! Yeah sure we’d all like an electric van, but this is soooo far from fulfilling that purpose. The bed is to too small to carry a fucking Christmas tree. There are already much better electric vans available for less.

The only purpose of the cyberdumb and all of Tesla’s vehicles is in the design. Mission Failed.
