Tesla’s baking sheet on wheels rides fast in the recall lane toward a dead end where dysfunctional men gather.
I am just so glad that these aren’t allowed in Europe. Every time i see a pick up truck or a tesla i tent to steer clear, Those mf’ers never look
Officially no. But I saw one with local registration. Perhaps an individual approval? Safety, standards rules are relaxed in this case.
Corruption IMHO.
I wouln’d want these on the street, they are pedestrian murder machines, Normal pickup trucks in europe are already overkill(Specially in the netherlands where the only reason you can have is Contruction or Farming) Even then you rarely see them here.
I used to shit alot on the European Union but lately they have been taking W after W and i am starting to appreciate the EU alot more with all the regs that protect its citizens ,like those for cars but also stuff like GDPR.

Articles criticizing the cybertruck are easy to find, but this is the best one I’ve read, by far.
it is a good article. I appreciate when writers can talk not just about what a piece of technology is or can do, but also the impact it it has on people, their memories, and how it fits into the culture.
pickup trucks used to mean something to working class people, but these Deploreans are a gleaming manifestation of petulant man baby individualism born of conspicuous consumption and ostentatious self aggrandizement.
it’s the antithesis of what generations of working people associate with a “truck”.
you can tell it’s bad at being a truck by taking one glance at it. all the other companies didn’t arrive at the same design via a process of convergent evolution because they’re a bunch of uncreative sheep thinkers. it’s simply the shape a truck must be in order for it to do the things that trucks do
Eh, the massive front bonnet that stops you from seeing pedestrians is definitely a design choice, not a necessity.
Yes, massive front ends is a terrible design choice but that isn’t one of the design features they are talking about.
Clearance, cab shape, large wheel wells, flat sides on the bed to make it accessible or for adding racks, bumpers you can step on to climb up, and other functional features are what they are talking about. A large number of trucks have had sloping front hoods and still included all of the truck featured that matter for doing truck things and which the cybertruck failed to include.
