Even if it was only to offend people like you, it's is an excellent reason to do it ;D
I'm 99% certain Cybertruck exists for trolling. The whole design looks like it's drawn by a 4-year old, and that's exactly the right thing to do, given the ages where all cars look the same. Besides, the whole safety discussion is irrelevant. They cater for the segment of psychopaths who classically drive vehicles with even worse visibility, significantly so if you look at the comparisons. I am never going to buy it, but I'm totally enjoying the fact it exists and the amount of butt pain it's creating. Plus it's an interesting and useful experiment in engineering which creates many useful results that can be later utilized in cars that make more sense. You don't want to do such experimental stuff in conventional shape, bought by conventional people who expect conventional behavior.

You think I'm offended by it? No, I'm merely incredulous that anyone other than Musk and his equally deluded fanbois think that it's a good idea. I am metaphorically SMH, but it takes more than the comical antics of a few narcissistic fantasists to offend me.

Well, if people are interested, buy it, so that it produces at least some revenue, allowing the business to run, then it seems like an excellent idea to me. If it fails to sell in high enough numbers, then it was worth trying. In either case, it clearly is a test subject for stuff like 4-wheel steering, using stainless steel, and probably much much more I don't know about as I haven't looked into it closely. It has been many decades with very little fresh innovation in automotive. I want that to stop that trend and celebrate everyone who has guts to do something unique, even if I don't personally want that thing.
Also don't project your own attitudes into others; the fact Elon Musk makes you emotional as some kind of anti-fanboy, doesn't mean that those who disagree with you are Elon Musk fanboys.
