Elon truly was inspired by Delorean

That's disrespectful to a guy who made a nicer car and had a less destructive drug habit.

		In what way? That's a strained way to poke fun at someone just because.

>"Elon truly was inspired by Delorean"

He wishes. Delorean is a modern classic, regardless of commercial success. Cybertruck will go down like the H1/H2; something entirely emblematic of the worst excesses in the time it was conceived and marketed in, that later generations will go "did they really think that was cool?".

A modern classic, thanks to Bob Zemeckis; without whom it would've been right up there with the Bricklin SV-1.

Setting aside JohnZ's personal failings, the car and its production was a catastrophe.

Hilariously the deloreon speedo didn’t even go up to 88

		Part of that was a NHTSA rule that hilariously (from 79-82) made 85mph speedometers mandatory; but even later, because of tooling costs, those dials persisted. Not that the DMC-1's PRV v6 and tall Renault 5-speed were gonna make getting to 85 easy...
