Elon Musk decided to create the Cybertruck because he thought Ford's trucks were 'boring,' biographer says
"He's sitting there with his design chief Franz von Holzhausen and looking at a Ford truck and he said, 'No, these things are boring,'" Isaacson said regarding the exchange, which he said will be fully detailed in his upcoming book.
"He doesn't like to be bored and he puts up things from movies, from sci-fi, from video games and says, 'I want it like that,'" Isaacson added."And everybody's pushing back on him at this meeting. He finally says, 'Yeah, stop it. We're gonna do it. We're gonna make it edgy.'"of Musk and the Tesla design chief in front of a series of pictures of what appear to be early design ideas for the Cybertruck.
"The use of stainless steel opened up new possibilities for the look of the truck," Isaacson writes."Instead of using stamping machines that would sculpt carbon fiber into body panels with subtle curves and shapes, stainless steel would favor straight planes and sharp angles. That allowed— and in some ways forced— the design team to explore ideas that were more futuristic, edgier, even jarring.
