I have no interest in the Cybertruck and think they look very bizarre after seeing one on the freeway last week for the first time. Now I have to say I love my Tesla and I’ve never cared much about cars. As long as a car got me to where I was going that’s all that mattered to me. My husband bought me a Tesla last year and I’m having fun driving it. I feel like I’m gliding down the road and have so much more control over it than my previous cars. I can also get it to do whatever I need just by talking to it. And I can’t say enough about how great the stereo system is. My granddaughter thinks she’s in a spaceship when she rides in the back I told her She can have it when she turns 16. Hopefully it lasts 10 years. We’ll see.
It's a good point- the other Tesla models actually seem pretty good from what I've heard and they should get credit for deploying a relatively reliable charging network at scale. There's something about the build quality on the Cybertruck that feels not well thought out, which is surprising given how long it was in development.
I was never a fan of any Tesla models, especially the Cybertruck, and now reading about your experience at the dealership turns me off even more. Great analogy with 2024 and fast fashion.
I had never seen a Cybertruck in the wild before Thursday this week. By Saturday I had seen three.
Where I live near Athens GA the most popular vehicle for men at least appears to be a white pickup truck. The bigger, louder and lifted the better. If it’s a diesel you can smother the people behind you in black smoke with, then you are at the top of the heap. Almost none of these white truck owners are farmers or tradespeople. The price tag on most current models is too high for working people to afford. Most of these trucks have off road or mud tires on them. I doubt most of them go off pavement, as they are too shiny and expensive to consider messing up off road. Most of the “normal” pickups around here are driven by oldsters who use them as grocery getters. So with all this in mind, it makes the Cybertruck just the next silly iteration of this trend, except when they get old beyond the window of being trendy, farmers and tradesmen won’t buy them. Once the shine is permanently off the Cybertruck we will see them head to the junkyard en masse.
That’s a great point- the lifted pickups may be equally as ridiculous as the Cybertruck, but they have some kind of afterlife because they are still, at their core, a versatile truck.
The Cybertruck reminds me of the pinewood derby cars we made in the cub scouts when I was a kid. What a joke of a vehicle!
A Pinewood Derby car covered in foil! 😂
“Cosplaying survivalist alpha male” is the best description I’ve seen of the drivers of this monstrosity!
Thank you!

What's the saying, "A sucker born every minute....." Ugliest thing on the road by far.
Definitely ugly. I’d have to think more about ugliest, but top 10 for sure

Thanks Brian! It was the oddest experience
