$100k is about the average household income in the US, the average single income is about $67k. So about a year and a half of the average wage. And median income is much lower (median household income is about $44k) indicating that high income households have a much larger effect on the average than low income households so the average middle class individual income should also be much lower than the average individual income.

That thing makes the Aztec look positively sleek by comparison

Don't devalue the Aztec for this. Yeah it was clad in tons of plastic and had a grill that was way too busy but it wasn't shockingly ugly like the cyber truck.

I can easily imagine that, too. I saw an early concept render that went around a decade ago or so when I worked in a design office, and we half- joked they’d accidentally released a low-poly model by mistake. Or it was some sort of weird joke we didn’t get.

It’s so ridiculous and broken, it has Musk’s fingerprints all over it (and good luck; fingerprints are near-permanent on that ludicrous metal finish they chose.)

The Hyundai Vision N 74 concept is a much better take on 80s retrofuturism imo.

They're inoffensive, at least. Boring is better than hideous, I suppose.
