i see them daily and do this when I pull up next to one

it's actually impressive how they manage to look more fake up close than they do in pictures

hell yeah. last time i saw one was last summer i think.

it's sort of an impressive aesthetic feat to make something that is so remarkable distinct that it can be distinguished from every other vehicle from the very limit of human visual perception.

but also, the closer you get to it, the uglier and more stupid it looks. and its not even functional, so the contest of form vs. function was lost by both sides.

the goddamn thing looks like a dishwasher fucked a robocop.

I'm surprised the fucker didn't immediately plow into a tree

The lady who owns one in town had to get winched out of a drainage ditch last week

how have you not seen one in all this time

I was posted up in Austin, Texas for a month right around when they first launched the Cybertruck. At one point as I was driving in the distance there was a parking lot filled with Cybertrucks, must have been 100+ Cybertrucks, it looked like an N64 game

I love that these became some kind of chud-flex, because they really missed the mark in a big way on trying to impress anybody but their own stupid in-group.

Like, I hate the car-gemony in the united burgers, but I'm still a little baby-brained vroom-vroom pilled and can appreciate neat cars. And it's like, do you realize what a sweet friggin car you could have gotten for $90k+? You could have had a Viper, a Porsche, hell even an FJ would have at least had some niche-coolness and huge piles of (likely unused) functionality for way less than price, and that is what you chose to get with your fun-car budget?

I have both mistook a dumpster in my peripheral vision for a cybertruck and the other way around on separate occasions. Truly a marvel of design

The Republican prius.

I see them daily and it disgusts me

I used to regularly see a matte black one around the neighborhood here and always assumed it probably belongs to the owner of the McMansion down the road covered in trump and israel flags

Fuckin dumpsters on wheels. Haven't seen that one in a while so maybe it shit the bed.

Don't get me wrong, i am very very relieved they never became road legal around here, but i am aware i miss out on a ton of absurdist comedy due to that.

I feel like Musk's brand of quasi liberal inventor-investor Tony Stark Ironman shtick has already kind of worn thin around the time of CTs launch, revealing the freak he always was. Obviously the Tesla brand started getting heat for his closeness to Trump and Musk's own eugenicist etc. politics.

I do get some satisfaction knowing that the ability of a CT owner to get a reaction out of people is kind of falling off. It seems like primarily only other Musk stans think they're cool, but if you're driving one and randos sneer at you for it at least you can tell yourself you're tirggering the libs. When general audiences just have no reaction, now your status purchase is only worth its usefulness as a vehicle which is probably less than what you paid for it.
