He laments people laughing at him, and likens his purchase of the cybertruck to that of the Toyota Prius. Unfortunately, what he fails to consider, is that the Prius is an economy car. You can make fun of a crappy car, but that mockery ends before it affects the owner, because the majority of us understand that buying a car is more of a financial matter, rather than one of taste. i.e. most of us buy the car we can afford, not necessarily the car we want.

That goes out the window when you take into consideration the cybertrucks price tag. If it was an economy electric car (like the Prius), we would poke fun at the vehicles design and that would be it. But this is a bloated, over-priced, unreliable, gimmick truck; whose only purpose is to serve as an ego-boost to one of the richest, dumbest men on the planet. The man that got bullied into buying and abruptly tanking one of the largest social media companies in the world. The same man jumping around like a pick-me dipshit at a fascist rally for a convicted felon, bankrupt businessman, convicted rapist, and self-described sex-pest.

People can laugh at not just the cybertruck, but also the owner; because paying what amounts to a third of a fucking house so you can fanboy a man sure to go down as one of histories most public dumb-asses, makes you ripe for ridicule (and deservedly so).

From "Keith" in the comments, "You bought a Cyber truck because you wanted attention. You're getting attention. What's your beef?"

Couldn't agree more

I was taking a right turn out of a convenience store driveway the other day, waiting for the traffic to go by, and noticed the driver, a female, was apparently laughing hysterically at my truck. She was alone, pointing at my truck and laughing hard.

a female

Yeah, sounds like a Cyber truck owner

He says "a female", then "a guy".

No wonder they're laughing. This guy's a joke.

Like, even ignoring Musk's whole everything now, it's just one of the ugliest vehicles ever designed. Regular Teslas at least look okay if you ignore Musk himself, but the cybertruck looks like they just took a particularly untalented 1st grader's drawing of a vehicle and just went "Make that"

Jesse, on his part, suggests Elon Musk’s controversial nature is to blame for the people laughing at him.

While I'm sure that's part of it, mostly it's just the fact that you blew 6 figures on a poorly assembled low res rust triangle

He's bought a status car and spent ~$70k extra on it in order to get a reaction. Not sure what he's whining about.

I was convinced this was satire until I followed the link in the story for the Cybertruck forum where this was actually discussed.🤦‍♂️

As a man I’ve been patiently waiting my entire life for the general population of women to realize they can shame men into not being stupid assholes. I don’t think men on the whole are going to like it…but it’s been a long time coming. See: history.

He chooses what to drive. If he likes it, that's his right. It's also right of the others not to like it and find it ridiculous. There is no objective reason to drive a Cybertruck except to show off. Well, it backfired for him.

"I drive the equivalent of a 2024 Yugo that is laughably poor quality sold by a huckster and I paid enough to buy 4 reasonable cars. It's the most gaudy design of any car ever produced since the dawn of time. Why would people laugh at me?"

"Stupidity" would be the answer to both why he bought a cybertruck and why he wonders why people are laughing about his choice.

He claims he'd never mock a Prius while in the same sentence posting about how much he hates the Prius, and then doesn't think it's fair to be mocked for driving a certain vehicle.

To break this Möbius strip logic: Blame someone else.

Quality post. I really did think I was reading an Onion headline.

And I have to admit, the first time I saw the guy in my neighborhood who bought one driving it around, I pointed and laughed too.

Not just women. It is an absurd vehicle

At least someone is getting joy from the cybertruck.

Granted, she could have been having a weird reaction to a stroke or something,

Bless your heart

They’re only laughing because deep down they know they’re beta-cuck manlets who will never be an alpha-chad like you. It’s an involuntary nervous reaction to feeling viscerally outclassed and unmanned by your aura of effortless brocious dominance.

I saw a white cyber truck today (a first for me). It even more hideous than the silver and black ones.

Man, I sure wish cybertrucks had been around to deflect when I spent 7 years driving a Fiat Panda.

My 6 year old son points and laughs at Cybertrucks. "It looks so weird. Why's it so pointy?" Direct quote

My opinion of Musk has nothing to do with it. For the price of it, its ugly as fuck.

I'm not a fan of priuses either, but priuses don't a) take wild swings in design in order to be "edgy" and b) price themselves according to supposed "cool points".

With or without Musk, your choices reflect who you are. This guy bought an overpriced vehicle in order to be "cool" and now he's butt hurt that no one agrees with him.

Truely a mystery for the ages.

”I was taking a right turn out of a convenience store driveway the other day, waiting for the traffic to go by, and noticed the driver, a female, was apparently laughing hysterically at my truck. She was alone, pointing at my truck and laughing hard.”

First: lmao

Second: that’s it? You are like a little baby.

Ford Multipla drivers can finally point and laugh at another vehicle owner.

This person needs to get help. I doubt more than one or two women are laughing at him, if there is anyone laughing at all.

Who has time to do this while driving?

Guys, I just can't figure out why my coworkers laugh at me when I show them my picture wearing a maid costume! What could possibly be funny about that?
