I once saw two people get out of a cyber truck. They looked unhappy and mean and weren't talking to each other
Enough Musk Spam
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
That was probably the smartest thing they had done in some time.
Isn’t that true of most trucks? Like one of my coworkers commuting into Boston in a RAM 1500? My brother commuting into DC in a Sierra EV? Neighbors up the street where one adult drives a suburban, the other a trailblazer xl?
Obviously there are trucks used as trucks, and it’s great for those people to have so many choices, so much capability, but y’all are a minority
I love seeing beaten up trucks, doing truck stuff. Why anyone would pay the money to commute in a harsh ride and terrible millage has always confounded me. Dont even get me started on Wranglers.
Aesthetics and over-compensation.
The primary drivers behind car sales to insecure & vulnerable young men. I speak from first-hand experience.
I almost never see any car with a full family in, usually is just a person driving alone, sometimes there's 2.
But you have seen a car with a full family, or a group of 3+, right? Have you ever seen a c-truck with more than one person in it? I haven't. Of course this is all anecdotal, and the plural of anecdote isn't data.
... but the plural of data is.
That would be the plural of datum, if we're going to be pedantic.
Ooooo can we be pedantic?
Of course, you don't need my permission.
I know a family that has one. Dad drives the kids to and from school and activities in it, and mom drives a Model S. We live in a fairly progressive area.
They aren't political, just affluent enough to be oblivious.
I never notice who's driving a "cybertruck" bc I'm too busy cringing.
The best part about Cybertruck drivers is if you start to comment on their truck they will stop to hear the whole comment and then it will just stick with them for a while cause most of them bought the truck to show off and not because it addressed a unique need they have.
I always flip them off. Like, it's just a thing everyone I know does in our small town.

There's a couple of cyber trucks in my neighborhood, and one of them drops his kid off at my daughter's school in the morning.
Still drives a cyber truck though.
I can respect that guy's level of commitment to the 'embarrass your kids' game.
I once saw two people in a cybertruck, but I don't think I've seen more than that
I saw a stretch Hummer today and thought "what if someone makes a stretch cybertruck?" and then I nearly threw up.
Only time I've seen a full cyber truck was at a ski resort parking lot.
I wanted to start a rumor.
Did you know that after Elons botched penis surgery, they implanted a tap to collect his semon. It's why he keeps offering it to random women. But they have so much extra they are using it to condition all the steering wheels in Teslas.
So everyone driving a Tesla is just giving the worlds biggest dick a handjob.
That's... not how penises work.
It's how Elon's cyberpenis works, or so I've heard people say.
Never got to the finish?
