This week, people reacted to Elon Musk's Cybertruck
This week on Dezeen, Tesla's futuristic Cybertruck polarised opinions and we continued our high-tech architecture series.
The Cybertruck is a bulletproof electric pickup truck made from cold-rolled stainless steel that has armoured glass windows.
The vehicle's unconventional, sci-fi-style design divided opinions on social media, as some praised Musk for his "courage" in creating such a "fascinating" vehicle, and others labelled it as "ridiculous".
Lego also responded to the launch by mocking Tesla with a "guaranteed shatterproof" brick model of the Cybertruck.
