People being assholes over it is dumb, but I can't say I would want one. I saw one recently at my local grocery store and I couldn't stop thinking how poorly built it looked. It just seemed like the fit and finish of the body panels was kinda bad. I got an overall feeling like it was something put together by a couple of teenagers in metal shop.
Isn't getting attention the whole point of buying a expensive car like that for most people? I mean the same goes for expensive sports cars: most people don't get these because they are particularly good drivers - hell, some are even so old they can't even get into those cars properly.
Is there any vehicle in the world that screams rich asshole more than the cyber truck? There are more expensive vehicles for sure, but my first thought if I saw a Pagani wouldn't be to flip it off.
I saw one in person finally a few weeks ago and just started laughing; it’s even uglier in person! But I wouldn’t intentionally try to damage someone else’s vehicle; that’s even more ridiculous.
This car is a waste of money. I doubt this is a vehicle that can last 15 to 25 years or whatever the average vehicle expected life span is.
I have never seen one in real life but I'll be honest, this looks pretty cool. I also have seen mbkhd talk about how well this car drives; especially for a truck. I see people rave over cars that to me look like giant toys (I admit I'm not into cars) but this is something straight out of a video game world.
If both are in Portland maybe it wasn't him but the cyber truck I see somewhat often is always waving out his window to people looking at his truck. I've followed this truck from Portland up to standish before and for him to say he doesn't like attention is absolutely not true...
You know, as much as I think Tesla sucks, I kinda feel bad pissing in someone's cheerios. My Sister-in-law loves hers. She's never had a car she really liked until now. Ima just let her be happy with her car.
Investing in a license plate from Maine that just says "Event" and driving around at low speeds while smoothly sliding on and taking off my sunglasses was also probably not helpful.
My boss just got this truck. Aside from it being severely over priced it's actually very well built and super practical and usable for light and medium light duty. Even some short distance towing.
Although for most people that can afford this thing I doubt there will be any kind of duty being performed by this truck at all.
I have a cyber truck and it's amazing the disconnect between online and real life. This thread is evidence that online everyone hates it and thinks it's the worst thing ever. In person I can't go anywhere without someone wanting to ask me about it and gushing about how cool it is. Seriously, I constantly get thumbs up and smiles and "woah that's so cool who made it?" The sentry mode has seen many children pose in front of it while their parents take a picture.
The attention aside it is genuinely a good truck. 6ft bed, 120v and 240v outlets in the bed for power anywhere, 11000lbs towing capacity, 6000lbs bed capacity, 300 mile range, the battery storage to power my house for a month if I don't use A/C, a week with A/C, super fun and smooth driving, tight turn radius from the rear wheel steering, room for 5. If it looked like a normal truck but everything else was the same noone would care one way or the other.
