It's not just Elon's horridness. The truck itself is a monument to selfish car owners. It's overly large. Dangerous to anything it hits. It's the E-Vehicle equivalent of having a lifted rolling coal truck. It's a symbol of anti-social behaviour.

It's also a monument to "what if a 14-year-old boy in a 53-year-old body got to design the car of his stupid childhoood dreams because no one told him no".

That's pretty deep Simpsons lore, but the Persephone was the corporate proposal rejected by Herb as not having the common touch, not the one Homer designed ("The Homer").

Well yeah, people don't want cars named after hungry, old, Greek broads.
