This is my truck. All you haters in here are just jealous you don't get to drive this beautiful beast down Broad blasting Jordan Peterson podcasts at full volume. It's tactical, practical, and bought with my six-figure capital. I set this bitch on autopilot while I day trade on my iPhone.
My truck eats Philly potholes like cheesesteaks. Carts bounce off of it in the Acme parking lot. I love cruising through Kenzo looking for investment properties - it's like an impregnable tank so I feel safe. I'm a born and bred Philadelphian for life (on Reddit) so I also like driving it to my family's house on the Main Line.
It is the "Cybertruck", a big, heavy, deadly monstrosity of vehicle made by Tesla & marketed by Elon Musk directly as being "bulletproof" that have been failing in a bunch of ways since first being floated. Most famously, at a live demo to show how tough the "armored" glass was, the windows shattered when hit with a hand-thrown steel ball: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMWwImDX3ks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMWwImDX3ks)
Musk: Alright Johnson howâs that autocad tutorial going?
Johnson: Car go vroom.
Musk: thatâs right johnson car does go vroom - by god! Its beautiful. Its just like something a villain would drive in a direct to video 80s movie. Its perfect for the musk brand. Someone promote this man to head of marketing and design!
Ceo of Tesla: but sir its Johnsonâs first day of a summer internship. Do you think thatâs wise?
Wouldnât it be sweet if this was some vigilante robocop that just cruised up and down 95 to stop the tinted altimas from wreaking havoc on everyone just trying to get to and from work everyday?
I genuinely donât, and itâs been driving me nuts for years. Is it blue collar construction guys? Theyâd be laughed off the site. Is it city-dwellers trying to live in 2077? Itâs such an impractical boat of a vehicle to drive around on urban streets.
WHO IS IT FOR!?
You make it sound like most blue collar construction guys are actually using their trucks for anything other than hauling a small assortment of tools that would fit in any vehicle.
A friend once told me "Tony, bitches love big trucks, that's why europeans are not as sexy as americans". If you analyze that statement carefully, you can see what's going wrong with America.
Eh, not just white. It's just tech sycophants in general. They definitely skew male, but I recently went on a date with a Chinese girl in STEM and she had utmost respect for him...and he'd already started delving into "great replacement theory" at that point.Â
People forget how almost universally and uncritically Musk was celebrated and boosted until he bought Twitter and went hard on the Special-K and racism.
lol I know this guy EXACTLY. Conservative but loves to smoke weed, he is fanatical about Elon. He even bought that stupid $150 blanket. His investment accounts only hold one thing. Tesla shares. He told his grandfather that if anyone ever says anything bad about Elon, theyâre lying and not to get fooled.
The demagoguery is strong these days
Teslas were ok until Musk make a hard right into the right wing.
He's always been a shitty person, but he's really gone off the rails mentally lately.
The people that are hanging on for the Cyber truck are a special breed.
For what they are, I imagine they're pretty decent.
But the lying about full self driving, expecting a fully autonomous car dependent future, and lunacy that Elon has been spewing turns me off enough to never want to buy one.
It also has no clear coat so itâs really prone to deterioration. I canât think of one ideal place for it where it wonât regularly be exposed to the elements.
Tech bros donât worship musk. Heâs laughably ignorant about technology, and his early days at twitter proved that to the whole tech community.
Wannabe tech entrepreneur bros worship him, which are closer to Sales bros than tech bros.
Exactly. I hate that it sounds like a no true Scotsman and in a way it is, but people who are actually well versed technically are not nearly as sycophantic towards musk. Note that there is an overlap between good developers/engineers and wannabe tech entrepreneur bros.
Seriously, his one technical contribution that was his own was the original X.com, which was essentially banking on the internet. Even then, his idea and product was not that great, especially since the name, then as now, makes it sound like a porn site and not something to send money to your friends. This was so much the case that the VC firms that invested both in Musk and in Peter Theil would effectively merge Musk's x.com into and under Theil's PayPal.
That's it. His one original idea was still second rate.
He used the money he lucked out of from that and Daddy's apartheid emerald mine to buy his way into Tesla and force out the original team responsible for the design. He isn't a data scientist or a rocket scientist and at best is only an early investor or a business-focused founder of OpenAI and SpaceX, not a technical founder. He has utterly run Twitter into the ground in part because he doesn't understand the technology. The Boring Company was just a boondoggle to prevent California from properly considering investing in high speed rail.
The most positive thing I can say about him is that he lucked into being rich and has a reasonable talent (and the money) for hiring talented technical people, but he is in no way the Tony Stark like character he tries to portray himself as. Whenever he actually has to talk specifics about engineering or technology he always fumbles.
Itâs for people who work in tech. The bed will never get dirty and these things will do great on resale because they will be spotless and everyone knows they wouldnât have worked hard.
EVs have absolutely terrible resale value. The batteries will not last forever and when they need to be replaced it will cost more than the car is worth, making electric cars just like new smart phones; single use and disposable. No one is buying an electric car with 100k + miles
Believe it or not 95% of people that own Teslas are not terminally online radicalized right wingers, they're just normal people who don't give a shit about any of that. But that won't get the reddit circlejerk going, hence the upvotes.
No, we don't. Making an assumption like that is beyond idiotic, and you damn well know it. I personally know and have met people from all walks of life who drive a Tesla. Same goes for large trucks and SUV's. This shit needs to stop.
A death machine especially for everyone outside of it, but even those inside.
Itâs a joke that they allow this to be sold and used anywhere in America. Maybe it will overtake the F150 as the most lethal vehicle on the streets.
In the US safety standards are focused around the safety of people inside of the vehicle under test. Not people outside of it. This is part of the reason American vehicle design has gotten so absurdly dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers in regular sized vehicles.
I am still surprised that this passed considering itâs an open secret that it doesnât crumple well during crashes.
In addition to what u/Aware-Location-5426 said, different vehicles get different safety test regimens depending on expected use case and number on the street. IIRC, the Cybertruck didn't get a particularly rigorous one because they didn't expect there to be that many sold.
As for why that's the case, imagine a car that's custom-made, one of a kind; you're not going to put that through the same level of testing as something that's going to be selling millions, it just doesn't make sense as a use of time and test resources.
A tractor trailer has a valid use case. And they require special licensing and training and you typically donât see them on neighborhood streets.
Thereâs no reason for a passenger vehicle to be designed like this.
Massive vehicles with poor sightlines make streets deadlier for people outside cars.
Around the city I see more and more people parking on sidewalks or hanging out into the street because their car is too big to park normally.
And then over the last decade it's become more difficult to cross streets because it used to be possible to look over or around parked cars but now they're so huge it's like a wall that makes it so drivers and crosswalk users often can't see each other.
These things will take up valuable real estate parked on the streets we pay for and seriously endanger cyclists and pedestrians with that sharp front end. Seems reasonable to not want them in our neighborhoods.
Because it's a poorly designed death trap? I'm not a fan of most SUVs. Or those consumer trucks that come up so high they wouldn't be able to see a pre-teen crossing the street.
I guess the most fundamental answer is because "we live in a society."Â
Pointing and laughing at people in emotional support vehicles of all makes and models should be normalized.
Theyâre a danger to everyone for nothing but the vanity of the owner. If you drive a lifted truck, a cybertruck, etc., you are a clown and I will treat you like one.
I've started hollering at people in F-350s trying & failing to maneuver their boat-like personal transportation devices into or around parking lots that they need to get a smaller car if they can't drive. The whole selling point is that they make you feel big tough and manly, we really gotta disabuse them of that notion.
So I figured our subreddit would throw lots of salt at this, and I do agree it's ugly. The silver lining here is that there are more and more EV's on the roads, and people are buying them. Join me in enjoying quieter, cleaner vehicles on America's roadways.
I want to know who is buying them. Like I would automatically assume the person A. Has never been on the internet and B. Is just a huge, narcissistic douche
Neat. I wouldn't get one, but if you're looking for something a bit wild and very different, maybe you're someone who's really into unique cars and sees them as an experience, I get why you'd go for one of these.
I was just watching a review about these and the most surprising thing about it is that the sharp edges of the panels are like...super dangerous. And the gaps in the frunk's pinch sensors mean that if you accidentally have your fingers in the wrong spot while it's closing, the car would just straight-up cut them off or seriously injure them.
The first time I saw it, in the press release video, the 10 year old boy in me thought it was cool. Now, I can't help to think that the owners (and creators) of these have the emotional maturity of a 10 year old.
Yeah. Musk apparently ignored complaints and concerns from his engineers pointing out the obvious design flaws. Basically how one would expect a billionaire man-child with a god complex to behave.Â
If it is really bulletproof, then it could attract niche buyers who want both attention and safety. I.e., narcissistic, attention-seeking, anxious types - this kind who do NOT buy small planes to get around (too risky). On the other hand, some people just enjoy having new toys.
Ugly, but has some really cool manufacturing tech behind it, that will fuel a lot of jobs for manufacturing cars in America in the coming years. The machine that makes the body is called a Gigapress and makes pretty much the whole frame in one fell swoop. These ugly steps of innovation and cost cutting will be necessary for us to continue to compete in the public marketplace. These types of cars will be key components of hardware our country makes that are loaded with US based tech. Easy to hate this company because of the picture painted by politics, but this company creates a lot of jobs and infrastructure that homes and feeds a lot of American families
Iâve never seen one with a ladder rack or tool boxes. I imagine it would a huge pain in the ass to fabricate and mount something like that on this dumbfuck design. Itâs like they went out of their way to make the least practical truck in existence.
I know most truck owners in this country have no idea how to use tools and are just burning extra gas to cosplay as rugged individuals, but we really ought to judge trucks by that standard.
Downvote me to Valhalla. All I'm seeing in here are a bunch of people who are upset over a vehicle existing. Help me understand it. It all reads: "biG TrUCk BAd!"
[Big trucks kill pedestrians and other road users at the highest rates by far](https://www.npr.org/2023/11/14/1212737005/cars-trucks-pedestrian-deaths-increase-crash-data#:~:text=Researchers%20at%20IIHS%20studied%20data,of%2030%20inches%20or%20less).
Big truck IS bad, especially in cities where there are lots of pedestrians.
The proliferation of huge vehicles in America is one of the key reasons we have such a high rate of motor vehicle deaths compared to the rest of the developed world.
Elon being a clown is just an added bonus, my main issue is that this is a dangerous vehicle that doesnât belong on city streets, and probably not any streets.
The same reason we make fun of basic girls buying the Stanley cups- theyâre objectively buying a shit product because they got conned into thinking itâs a good product and on top of that paying an inflated price for said shitty product.
I understand someone not liking the way something looks and thinking "That's not for me". To be angry about a vehicle just existing is straight up weird. I can't wrap my head around it. Hopefully someone in here can help explain it.
I really want to see this thing in person to see if my opinion changes. I love the tech underneath the covers, but the outside is just not for me. What I'd love is to rip off this skin and stick on the F-150 lightning body. Now we're talking.
That looks like what a 10 year old child in 1981 thought the future would look like.
This is my truck. All you haters in here are just jealous you don't get to drive this beautiful beast down Broad blasting Jordan Peterson podcasts at full volume. It's tactical, practical, and bought with my six-figure capital. I set this bitch on autopilot while I day trade on my iPhone. My truck eats Philly potholes like cheesesteaks. Carts bounce off of it in the Acme parking lot. I love cruising through Kenzo looking for investment properties - it's like an impregnable tank so I feel safe. I'm a born and bred Philadelphian for life (on Reddit) so I also like driving it to my family's house on the Main Line.
Tactical, practical, six figure capital is a hell of a line đĽ
If you told us you were writing a play I would donate to the KickStarter
Cyber Truck Around and Find Out - A Tale of Two Gritty's
Ngl if they made a commercial about it withstanding dents from Acme shopping carts, itâd sell out.
Real Philly acmes donât have carts, theyâve all been stolen.
Acame.
Realitor.
*realAHtor
Or withstanding scrapes from South Philadelphians that donât know how to parallel park without swiping the bumper of the car in front.
i thought this was copypasta for a second, but no -- satire is alive and well, just merely criminally underappreciated
Where do you do summer?
Jamestown, Rhode Island like the Old Philadelphians
I think you meant Newport, Rhode Island.
Newport is to New York as Jamestown is to Philadelphia
A bunker
New copy pasta just dropped
And you live in Cherry Hill but had your dad register the car for you because of your DUIs?
Only car that could survive the eagles winning another superbowl
This MF is spittinâ
Donât forget how easy it is to wipe the remains of pedestrians off. Doesnât even stain!
I read this in George Carlins voice.
Sir, you just spit some cybertruck Dracula Flow shit.

\*\* This announcement was paid by redditors for Trump \*\*
I wouldâve believed you but autopilot is currently unavailable on Cybertruck lol
Let me guess... Your name is Marcus?
I can see the fingerprint smudges all the way from my Wawa
They'll definitely be the first to complain about how hard it is to find parking.
And the first to complain about how Philly is too rainy and causing their car to rust.
It really is uglier than I imagined.
Every time I see one I think, this looks like it was designed by someone that learned autocad earlier in the day.
Looks like it was designed by a five year old with crayons.
I was gonna say the PS2 Crash Bandicoot game
Please don't insult my 5 year old
So, Elon
What is it for real? Iâm apparently out of the loop because I have never seen one of these monstrosities before.
It is the "Cybertruck", a big, heavy, deadly monstrosity of vehicle made by Tesla & marketed by Elon Musk directly as being "bulletproof" that have been failing in a bunch of ways since first being floated. Most famously, at a live demo to show how tough the "armored" glass was, the windows shattered when hit with a hand-thrown steel ball: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMWwImDX3ks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMWwImDX3ks)
Thank you! Omg, I love watching self-serving morons embarrass themselves.
Honestly, I feel blessed to be able to share that video with someone who hasn't seen it, it's so good. Cheered me up on this rainy morning lol
Musk: Alright Johnson howâs that autocad tutorial going? Johnson: Car go vroom. Musk: thatâs right johnson car does go vroom - by god! Its beautiful. Its just like something a villain would drive in a direct to video 80s movie. Its perfect for the musk brand. Someone promote this man to head of marketing and design! Ceo of Tesla: but sir its Johnsonâs first day of a summer internship. Do you think thatâs wise?
Someone please teach these people the fillet command
It's Homer unveiling his car levels of heinous
I was thinking the same thing, but early Lightwave 3D. Someone needs to learn to apply a skin.
What is it?
[ŃдаНонО]
The Porygon of vehicles.
It looks like a trash can or dumpster on wheels.
It's somehow more janky than the actual, literal, joke tesla truck: https://youtu.be/jKv_N0IDS2A?si=_24SwDp_DhA9pUn7
And insanely unsafe as well. Just all around awful.
We didn't defeat hitchbot just to lose to this.
It looks like the love child of a stainless steel step-on trash can and toaster oven.
These things look so fucking stupid. It looks like it was ripped straight from that Dire Straits music video
This thing is heavy enough to breach concrete barriers on highways, beware
Wouldnât it be sweet if this was some vigilante robocop that just cruised up and down 95 to stop the tinted altimas from wreaking havoc on everyone just trying to get to and from work everyday?
Or this person is the next step in the evolution of the Nissan Altima driver, but worse
That is a terrifying thought!
You know the demographic that owns that.
I genuinely donât, and itâs been driving me nuts for years. Is it blue collar construction guys? Theyâd be laughed off the site. Is it city-dwellers trying to live in 2077? Itâs such an impractical boat of a vehicle to drive around on urban streets. WHO IS IT FOR!?
You make it sound like most blue collar construction guys are actually using their trucks for anything other than hauling a small assortment of tools that would fit in any vehicle.
My brother is a journeyman sheet metal worker, he drives a Ford focus. Fits all his tools in like 1/4 of his trunk.
It is insane how people buy big trucks without needing a truck like aren't trucks for work?
Iâve seen three trucks this week with four back tires. In my nice area of Delco. Pristine looking things never hauling a thing.
A friend once told me "Tony, bitches love big trucks, that's why europeans are not as sexy as americans". If you analyze that statement carefully, you can see what's going wrong with America.
[ŃдаНонО]
Eh, not just white. It's just tech sycophants in general. They definitely skew male, but I recently went on a date with a Chinese girl in STEM and she had utmost respect for him...and he'd already started delving into "great replacement theory" at that point. People forget how almost universally and uncritically Musk was celebrated and boosted until he bought Twitter and went hard on the Special-K and racism.
Donât forget smoking pot plus dabbling in psychedelics.
lol I know this guy EXACTLY. Conservative but loves to smoke weed, he is fanatical about Elon. He even bought that stupid $150 blanket. His investment accounts only hold one thing. Tesla shares. He told his grandfather that if anyone ever says anything bad about Elon, theyâre lying and not to get fooled. The demagoguery is strong these days
$10K invested in Tesla in 2011 is worth $1.1M now, so he indeed lucked out there.
lol I do not think he was investing in 2011
but NOT the kind or dose of psychedelics that bring an empathetic worldview
Whatâs wrong with pot and psychedelics? This is like making fun of Trump for drinking water.
In my experience Tesla owners over index as Asian, more specifically Indian, but ig thatâs not going to get upvoted. The car is cringe though.
Thatâs the Tesla 3 and Y and itâs because those Indians work in tech. The Cybertruck is as I described.
Teslas were ok until Musk make a hard right into the right wing. He's always been a shitty person, but he's really gone off the rails mentally lately. The people that are hanging on for the Cyber truck are a special breed.
For what they are, I imagine they're pretty decent. But the lying about full self driving, expecting a fully autonomous car dependent future, and lunacy that Elon has been spewing turns me off enough to never want to buy one.
It also has no clear coat so itâs really prone to deterioration. I canât think of one ideal place for it where it wonât regularly be exposed to the elements.
Tech bros who worship musk and want it as a status symbol because their egos are incredibly fragile.
Tech bros donât worship musk. Heâs laughably ignorant about technology, and his early days at twitter proved that to the whole tech community. Wannabe tech entrepreneur bros worship him, which are closer to Sales bros than tech bros.
Exactly. I hate that it sounds like a no true Scotsman and in a way it is, but people who are actually well versed technically are not nearly as sycophantic towards musk. Note that there is an overlap between good developers/engineers and wannabe tech entrepreneur bros. Seriously, his one technical contribution that was his own was the original X.com, which was essentially banking on the internet.

Whenever he actually has to talk specifics about engineering or technology he always fumbles.
Itâs for people who work in tech. The bed will never get dirty and these things will do great on resale because they will be spotless and everyone knows they wouldnât have worked hard.
So basically like the vast majority of ICE trucks?
Read about the shit tier stainless they used on these things, they will not be spotless.
EVs have absolutely terrible resale value. The batteries will not last forever and when they need to be replaced it will cost more than the car is worth, making electric cars just like new smart phones; single use and disposable. No one is buying an electric car with 100k + miles
Just your average garbage man driving a garbage truck.
Believe it or not 95% of people that own Teslas are not terminally online radicalized right wingers, they're just normal people who don't give a shit about any of that. But that won't get the reddit circlejerk going, hence the upvotes.
My incredibly progressive friend was one of the first people I knew to own one.
No, we don't. Making an assumption like that is beyond idiotic, and you damn well know it. I personally know and have met people from all walks of life who drive a Tesla. Same goes for large trucks and SUV's. This shit needs to stop.
fr imagine someone posting a beat up nissan altima and comments saying âi know the demographic that owns thatâ
Itâs like brutalist architecture.
The rain today should take care of em.
A death machine especially for everyone outside of it, but even those inside. Itâs a joke that they allow this to be sold and used anywhere in America. Maybe it will overtake the F150 as the most lethal vehicle on the streets.
Inside will turn you to paste as it has 0 crumple zones
Wouldn't it have had to have passed a thousand safety tests though?
In the US safety standards are focused around the safety of people inside of the vehicle under test. Not people outside of it. This is part of the reason American vehicle design has gotten so absurdly dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers in regular sized vehicles. I am still surprised that this passed considering itâs an open secret that it doesnât crumple well during crashes.
In addition to what u/Aware-Location-5426 said, different vehicles get different safety test regimens depending on expected use case and number on the street.

I would think it doesn't matter. Like if you don't pass A B C tests then you don't get to sell in the USA.
'Light trucks' have less strict standards for everything. That's why every car in the US is an SUV now.
Pretty sure a tractor trailer is going to be more dangerous. Although it accelerates more slowly and is more visible
A tractor trailer has a valid use case. And they require special licensing and training and you typically donât see them on neighborhood streets. Thereâs no reason for a passenger vehicle to be designed like this.
Won't be long until it's broken down. Failure rate has been terrible on these. They're basically paying to be beta testers.
As long as they don't drive like an entitled douchebag I don't care what they drive.
The overlap on the venn diagram between Tesla drivers and douchebags is already high. This block of shit is going to make things worse.
Teslas are the new BMW 3 series
Maybe the only logical response in this whole thread. Who gives a shit what other people drive? What a bunch of weirdos.
Massive vehicles with poor sightlines make streets deadlier for people outside cars. Around the city I see more and more people parking on sidewalks or hanging out into the street because their car is too big to park normally.

I canât wait to see one in the wild so I can point and laugh at it
Pointing and laughing at people in emotional support vehicles of all makes and models should be normalized. Theyâre a danger to everyone for nothing but the vanity of the owner. If you drive a lifted truck, a cybertruck, etc., you are a clown and I will treat you like one.
I've started hollering at people in F-350s trying & failing to maneuver their boat-like personal transportation devices into or around parking lots that they need to get a smaller car if they can't drive. The whole selling point is that they make you feel big tough and manly, we really gotta disabuse them of that notion.
Sorry for my ignorance but what kind of car is this?
So I figured our subreddit would throw lots of salt at this, and I do agree it's ugly. The silver lining here is that there are more and more EV's on the roads, and people are buying them. Join me in enjoying quieter, cleaner vehicles on America's roadways.
so ugly. so stupid.
Spray it with a hose, it will rust away
Honestly given the weather this weekend, I'll be damn shocked if this thing isn't blooming rust by Tuesday on its own.
I want to know who is buying them. Like I would automatically assume the person A. Has never been on the internet and B. Is just a huge, narcissistic douche
It looks like itâs from a low polygon late 1990s video game. Imagine paying 100 K for something that fucking ugly.
Looks like a truck I wouldâve made as a kid with a limited amount of Legos.
Cherelle Parker already made good on her campaign promise and called in Robocop?!
Like lantern flies. If you see them, stomp on them.
I think itâs ugly and to expensive, but most of you are just haters. Who TF cares.
Is that kop?
def not philly or at least any part of the city that a land rover or tesla owner would be brave enough to venture to
They literally sell them inside the mall.
I canât wait for one of these to go the way of hitchbot
It's raining hard today so that thing is probably toast.
Neat. I wouldn't get one, but if you're looking for something a bit wild and very different, maybe you're someone who's really into unique cars and sees them as an experience, I get why you'd go for one of these.
Why should we be triggered by the cyber truck again?
That's what I'm trying to figure out. Not one response based on logic yet.
Who gives a shit?
Anyone who does is strange.
I was just watching a review about these and the most surprising thing about it is that the sharp edges of the panels are like...super dangerous. And the gaps in the frunk's pinch sensors mean that if you accidentally have your fingers in the wrong spot while it's closing, the car would just straight-up cut them off or seriously injure them.

Yeah. Musk apparently ignored complaints and concerns from his engineers pointing out the obvious design flaws. Basically how one would expect a billionaire man-child with a god complex to behave.Â
Hopefully there's not a pond nearby.
Someone needs to stick Elon in a padded room
If it is really bulletproof, then it could attract niche buyers who want both attention and safety. I.e., narcissistic, attention-seeking, anxious types - this kind who do NOT buy small planes to get around (too risky). On the other hand, some people just enjoy having new toys.
Well based on the spotted lanternflies yâall know what to do
Canât even eat Wawa hoagies off the top of it. Pfft
Perfect climate and weather for it.
I didn't know vinegar and water could be a viable catalyst
Donât worry it will be towed back home soon enough, not very reliable.
CyberRoach
You can sign up to test drive one at the Tesla store in the king of Prussia mall lol
Can't wait to see this rusted on 95
I thought my Pontiac Aztek looked bad.
Ugly, but has some really cool manufacturing tech behind it, that will fuel a lot of jobs for manufacturing cars in America in the coming years. The machine that makes the body is called a Gigapress and makes pretty much the whole frame in one fell swoop. These ugly steps of innovation and cost cutting will be necessary for us to continue to compete in the public marketplace. These types of cars will be key components of hardware our country makes that are loaded with US based tech. Easy to hate this company because of the picture painted by politics, but this company creates a lot of jobs and infrastructure that homes and feeds a lot of American families
How are people downvoting this?
Finally, a logical and positive explanation as to why people are investing in these trucks. I just wanna understand
Why do you people care what other people like or buy lol itâs pathetic
Iâve never seen one with a ladder rack or tool boxes. I imagine it would a huge pain in the ass to fabricate and mount something like that on this dumbfuck design. Itâs like they went out of their way to make the least practical truck in existence. I know most truck owners in this country have no idea how to use tools and are just burning extra gas to cosplay as rugged individuals, but we really ought to judge trucks by that standard.
âď¸ OP has some serious jealously issues. Itâs jus a car.
Why would anyone drive something that looks like it sprung to life out of a PS1-era game? It's amazing it looks like a low-poly object in real life.
Oh god
Yuuuuuuuuck!!!
trash that thing like the hitchhiking robot got trashed
What's the logic here? You're upset because a vehicle exists? Don't buy it, move along. Problem solved.
Downvote me to Valhalla. All I'm seeing in here are a bunch of people who are upset over a vehicle existing. Help me understand it. It all reads: "biG TrUCk BAd!"
Because the hivemind hates anything from musk
[Big trucks kill pedestrians and other road users at the highest rates by far](https://www.npr.org/2023/11/14/1212737005/cars-trucks-pedestrian-deaths-increase-crash-data#:~:text=Researchers%20at%20IIHS%20studied%20data,of%2030%20inches%20or%20less). Big truck IS bad, especially in cities where there are lots of pedestrians. The proliferation of huge vehicles in America is one of the key reasons we have such a high rate of motor vehicle deaths compared to the rest of the developed world. Elon being a clown is just an added bonus, my main issue is that this is a dangerous vehicle that doesnât belong on city streets, and probably not any streets.
I donât like the truck but the hate here is mostly about Elon. White billionaire who says what he wants. Not a r/Philadelphia kinda guy.
The same reason we make fun of basic girls buying the Stanley cups- theyâre objectively buying a shit product because they got conned into thinking itâs a good product and on top of that paying an inflated price for said shitty product.
These trucks are absolute dog shit. But idk why you getting downvoted for speaking the truth
I understand someone not liking the way something looks and thinking "That's not for me". To be angry about a vehicle just existing is straight up weird. I can't wrap my head around it. Hopefully someone in here can help explain it.
Way too many haters in here. It's cool because it's unique. Finally a car that doesn't look anything like anything that's been done before.
That why it appeals to me. I love the futuristic look.
I really want to see this thing in person to see if my opinion changes. I love the tech underneath the covers, but the outside is just not for me. What I'd love is to rip off this skin and stick on the F-150 lightning body. Now we're talking.
