The Resemblance Is Striking Between The Tesla Cybertruck And A DeLorean

The Tesla Cybertruck is finally scheduled to arrive to consumers after several months of delays.

Numerous production problems have negatively impacted the angular pickup.

But there are parallels between Musk's contentious pickup truck and another car.

In a BladeBronson YouTube video, the Cybertruck and the DeLorean DMC-12 are shown together

Although the Cybertruck is undoubtedly bigger, the two cars share many design elements.

Both are sharply pointed, extremely angular cars with a brushed metal surface that reflects their surroundings.

The Cybertruck's sleek form makes it seem like it would have fit right in with the DeLorean's creation in the 1980s.

The front comparison of the two lays bare the striking similarities. The Cybertruck lacks a grille
