The Tesla Cybertruck is inspired by games like Halo
Tesla’s cubist pickup truck, the Cybertruck, which is not yet in production despite being revealed in 2019, was inspired in part by Halo vehicles.
“Every time someone would point to a picture that was more conventional,” Isaacson writes, “Musk would push back and point to the car from the video game Halo, or in the trailer for the forthcoming game Cyberpunk 2077, or from Ridley Scott’s movie Blade Runner.”
“I don’t care if no one buys it,” Musk said to his design team. “We’re not doing a traditional boring truck. […] I want to build something that’s cool. Like, don’t resist me.”
