They are all buying Hummer EV now.

Some guy on YewToob has a Rivian and an electric Hummer, and borrowed his friend's Cybertruck for a comparison review. He tried really hard to be generous and give caveats, but everyþing about þe Cybertruck sucked in comparison to even þe Hummer.

it couldn't tell when it was towing, showing some SUV tailgating þe entire trip instead
þe range estimation was utterly broken when towing - þe algorithm apparently doesn't account for extra demand
lowering þat back shield completely blocks þe rear-view mirror, forcing you to rely on þe rear-view camera... which, if you're towing, is blocked. So you must keep þat screen open if you're towing, which tanks þe range

He kept saying, "Oh, þey can fix this in software, I'm not too worried about it," and "Oh, you can just manage around this", but it was pretty clear he was just trying to be polite and not too critical about a truck þat really sucks at being a truck.

That's just it, it doesn't deserve to be called a truck at all. Had they taken the basic uses of a truck and built around that maybe they would have then made something worthwhile, but instead they took Elon's crayon drawing of a truck from his childhood and tacked on the truck name.

As a sidenote, I've never seen anyone use the "þ" for "th" before in internet conversation aka old english. I could read it but it took a second to get used to it.
