Owning a cybertruck is an indication the driver is a Nazi. It was always an indicator of very poor taste, but now it marks you as a Nazi. Don’t bother trying to change my mind. I know it, my cat knows it, the mould in that tupperware I keep putting off opening in the far reaches of my fridge knows it.
No excuses now, and no bumper stickers will dissuade me. It’s been long enough, sell the thing or start sieg heiling.
See, that's what we call an appeal to authority
Hard to sell them when the only potential buyer market is people you want to avoid at all cost or a used car place that will buy it for an insulting fraction of it's value.
And buying a replacement in this economy? We can judge new buyers all day long, we can judge people with 200k salaries that keep them, but there's lot of folks are stuck with a car that no one will buy; and maybe their situation isn't so great either.mmaybe they got laid off, had to take a big salary cut to keep living, can't afford a new car, and because they can charge the car for free at work they have extra money for food.
No sympathy.
I believe this.
At the same time, they'll get what's coming to them. They bought a shitty cybertruck that will break down and has shitty resell value.
this is not an endorsement of Musk or of Tesla or of cybertruck drivers - but this is a Very Online take. My boss' husband drives a cybertruck, he doesn't know what tiktok is, he doesn't know what a meme is nor does he understand them when he sees them (he asks who it's a photo of), the only news he consumes is in regards to logistics and supply chain and a little bit of the stock market.
I imagine he has as much understanding of why people hate elon musk as to I do as to why people love Sidney Crosby and hate Alexander Ovechkin - two people I had never heard of or know nothing about before googling "hockey players people love and hate."
I won't even remember their names in 5 minutes. I imagine a fair amount of cybertruck owners are like that.
I guess that’s fair, though my 89 year old dad who’s also not terminally online knows this, so I have a hard time with excuses now.
Much as it sucks, if I see your boss’s husband driving that crime against fingers, I’m still gonna see him as a Nazi. Maybe someone should tell him, and show him the video.
random people on the street flip him off, and some people have thrown stuff at him. He thinks they're weirdos and it's kinda funny. 🤷♂️
also I'm not going to tell the bosses husband people think he's a nazi. I'm going to take my pay and enjoy my weekends and vacations.
Hey man, you’re under no obligation to tell him, nor to defend him.
So stop defending him.
Very early on, I think there were some well-meaning people who were really excited about it. The idea of an all-electric truck was brand new, and the promise was huge. It unfortunately wasn't until after many Cybertruck preorders had been secured that Elon plainly revealed his true colors, and then after it was delivered that people found out it was a piece of garbage
Idk, the first cyber trucks delivered nov 30 2023.
His takeover of Twitter was 2022, with plenty of bright red flags The "pedo guy" thing was 2019 All of his COVID violations were extremely public in 2020 and 2021
I think you'd have to be living under a rock to be completely unaware of what he was by the time preorders were locked in
They couldn't tell from the look of the thing? When he first unveiled it, I thought it he was trying to make some sort of joke. Legitimately thought he was trying to prank people! The design is atrocious!
Yeah, true. But we’re like several years past that now. If you could afford one of those sins against the design gods, you could afford to take the L by now.
Every time I see one I think, "that's so ugly it's almost cute." I just love janky crap.
Or at least sieg selling… AMIRIGHT? 😅
I’m really hoping to pick one up cheap and make the monster-truck-DeLorean-time-machine of my dreams reality 🤓 But I’m only going up to $3.50 USD… gotta’ crash the whole CyberShmuck™ economy in the process 🤑
And the Tupperware also got more brain than a cybertruck driver.
