The Cybertruck is the product of a deranged mind.
Is someone just walking around with a printer?
I’m guessing they see this truck regularly. So this took some planning.
There's this annoying Cybertruck with this custom paint job that parks on my street sometimes. Usually does quite a poor job of it.
I see it also parked in an empty lot next to a little shopping center a few miles away.
We were having a neighborhood gathering and somebody brought it up, wondering whose it was.
It belongs to the boyfriend of the daughter of one of the neighbors who doesn't socialize with the rest of us. Turns out he owns a barbershop in the plaza, but it's too big to fit on any of the parking spots so he parks it in the empty lot next door.
Anyways a couple months later and I'm in physical therapy (sciatica hit me real hard), and I overhear this older guy a few tables down, talking to the PTA. Real loud, hard to not overhear. Total boomer energy.
He talked about his son having gotten a cybertruck, and put a bunch of money into it with custom paint and whatnot...and so I butt in..."is your son a barber?".
Sure enough, he is. It's his dad.
Does this make me a townie? This feels like a townie kind of story.
Point of Sale?
Piece of Shit
Cybercuck, and Tesla vehicles in general, can be hated on their own merits alone, or rather, lack thereof.
Mediocre, buggy, poorly-constructed death traps that burn people alive inside.
That's why they're so cheap second hand
Actually that's a factory bumper sticker. Trying to make that brand new penis-free sheen last longer.
fix your hdr blowout, dayum
That's not HDR, those posts are just greyed out because I've seen/tapped on them before.
The pre-orders were open before that though. It was several years until they went into production.
Though one could argue the unveiling of the Cybertruck was the first sign he was going crazy.
I think the cave rescue was the first very public sign. Was the truck a thing then?

That window doesn't look broken
Where's the "like" button, so I can smash the shit out of it?
You have to hit it realllly hard with a hammer for it to work
I am against hating on people for their cars, only because I have also hated most of my cars. The Volvo was a piece of shit, don't blame, me I just got stuck with it.
I would drive a cybertruck because it's funny, and I will enjoy all of the resultant stupidity. I refuse to pay more than $2K for it, though.
It is one thing to drive a car you hate because it's the only one you can afford. It is another to buy a shitty dumpster on wheels that's more expensive than most cars and is made by a raging fascist.
Low effort trolling
3/10 at best
If you bought a used one because you need a truck and their are really cheap used, are you still a PoS?
Why would you buy a used cybertruck when you have trucks that do the job better, cost less and are safe to drive?
Well, I was going to bet they would be relatively cheap used. (Cheap at least in comparison to other used trucks.)
But damn. They are not.
