Tesla unveiled the electric Cybertruck last Thursday, and people haven’t stopped talking about it since. The electric truck ranges in price between $39,990 and $76,900, and production is expected to begin by the end of 2021.
The design has been roasted on Twitter, compared to vehicles including a DeLorean and the Warthog in the “Halo” video game series. Not everyone hates the design, though: Syd Mead, the artistic director of “Blade Runner,” called the Cybertruck “stylistically breathtaking.”
CEO Elon Musk says there have already been 250,000 preorders for the truck.
Not to be left out, the toy brand Lego joined in on Twitter on Wednesday to poke fun at the unorthodox design:

The rendering mirrors the images provided by Tesla.
Lego even alluded to the major snafu of Tesla's announcement last week, when the lead designer cracked the Cybertruck's window twice while attempting to show the strength of the glass.
