So, this is a bit frustrating. For every person who manipulates an image of the Tesla Cybertruck with their desired design changes and posts their creation…
...there are more folks just Tweeting modded images of the truck without crediting who created them:
It's a pity, as some of the images look pretty cool and I'd love to know who did them:
In the shots above I recognize riffs on Blade Runner's spinner, Akira's bike, Halo's Warthog, Back to the Future's Delorean and The Dark Knight's Tumbler; the rest I can't place. I'd initially thought the vehicle with Japanese lettering was a patrol car from Pat Labor, but the kanji and hiragana don't match.
If any of you know what the other vehicles are callbacks to, or more importantly who created them, please do mention it in the comments!
