Whatever you think about Elon Musk, there's no denying that he's not averse to taking risks. He leapt from working on an online payment platform (PayPal) to blowing up millions of dollars worth of rockets in a quest colonise Mars, buying a social media platform to sabotage it and developing an expensive edgy retro-futuristic pick-up truck that doesn't seem to work very well.

But it seems that when it comes to the Tesla Cybertruck, the risk-taking may have gone too far. From a logo that looks like it's from a 90s video game to serious safety issues, Tesla may be paying the price for acting on apparent design whims. Even after years of delays, the Cybertruck is looking like a rushed job. As Musk insists it's not a problem is Tesla fails to sell cars – it will just pivot to cloud storage or something – we we recap on the long saga of Cybertruck design fails.
