I saw one of these for the first time the other day and was kind of awestruck at how dumb it looked in real life. I mean, I was never a big fan of the design but it really looked so much worse in person

Just saw one for the first time today. Man its honestly much worse in person.

it might be the ugliest car ever made honestly, i urge people to find an uglier mass-produced car.

Yeah, I know we're all shitting on Elon by proxy, but the multipla, Aztec, pt cruiser, Chevy SSR and plenty others are uglier.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago

Aww. I kinda loved the SSR. It feels like a modern take on a vintage style.

I saw someone refer to these stupid things as “Incel-Caminos”, and that’s the most perfect description of anything I’ve come across recently.

The best part is, the sort of person that drives a Cybertruck is absolutely not the sort of truck ("truck") owner that keeps an inverter and power tools in the bed, because anyone with an angle grinder would have a hearty chuckle at that before driving home.

And whoever put the lock on would have an even bigger laugh when they bill you for the damages.

Unless they can't prove you were the one who damaged it, or even that there was damage. "Well, shucks, officer, I just tried to drive away with it on and it just sort of fell off. Dunno what happened to it after that, not my problem. You should invest in better boots, or maybe train the guy who put it on better." (Bonus points if he's the one who put it on.) Meanwhile, you take the pieces with you, grind off any serial numbers, and drop them in the nearest large body of water whenever is convenient. Bob's your auntie.

This is why they also put the giant notice on the driver's window.

"your property was no longer in my possession, and my car was no longer in your way. If you're saying I can bolt shit to your car if you park on my property and then sue you for damage when it flies off your car, I will keep this in mind when you come to serve me the summons."

you'll find that many people will decide you are not worth the effort to deal with.

I too wished we lived in a fantasy world.

if you say so, sport

I saw once in the wild last week and it was wrapped in silver vinyl. That seems like a necessity for these trucks.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It is, and it’s like $2000 extra

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago

Small price to pay when you're always pissed out $80k

I swear Lemmy acts like anything shitty happening to a Cybertruck is like it's Elon's personal car getting fucked up. You're being trendy. I fucking hate that guy too but is this really funny or meaningful?

Why don't you just nuke every city in America because we all use Amazon and Bezos is a megalomaniac, evil bastard? Post it on Lemmy and laugh because we all deserved it for supporting him.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Look, Elon Musk is the most popular celebrity in the world, probably tied with Donald Trump. Of course we constantly shit talk about him, it's what we humans do. Just roll with it, or continue to have a bad time, it doesn't matter either way.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I think I'll continue to have a bad time on Lemmy, for $500.

Yes, Elon Musk is. Not some random car owner. This all feels like bullying to me.

Of course we constantly shit talk about him, it's what we humans do.

I pretty sure that's almost verbatim what one of my bullies said about me, who also isn't Elon Musk incidentally.

Just rip on Musk, not his customers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is it because YOU own a cybertruck? Lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Uh, no. I own a-- Actually fuck off.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's not really bullying because they're generally wealthier than us and bought these trucks as a status symbol. Society is rejecting that bid at higher status.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yeah that logic checks out. Nevermind, sorry for bothering you.

Me being upvoted a few times makes me suspect people don't realize I'm being facetious.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago

I was traveling for work recently and saw one of these every morning, and God damn did it fire me up to rage against the machine.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

There is a point that you all will make Lemmy look like dick headed bullies to most people. Is that something your all gunning for?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Somehow, I doubt THIS is what would drive anyone away.

I mean, it's got a boot.
