I think this product, tesla cybertruck, is a good display of "function is form". Usually people preface "function over form" or "form over function". But in this case, the functionality of this truck solves the reason to have a truck REALLY WELL.
The form of the truck comes from being a very practical, efficient use of a truck.
Form has been getting seeping into "aesthetics", which is good and all, but is that really where it should go? Sure, it's nice to look at something pretty, but why not have some cases where form fits the functionality perfectly.
I think this is a good implementation of mending the two practices into one harmonious product where function and form balances each other out.
Function: strong outer body, powerful, and everything serves a purpose.
Form: tesla's well-known low-drag design, probs makes manufacturing simpler (not easier per say, but simpler), etc.
I can't think of all the reasonings of functions and forms, but I just think this cybertruck would be super useful to have in particular blue-collar jobs.
