Thought about posting this to lemmybewholesome, but thought it might not fit everyone’s definition.
People like this are even more tragic than the Cybertruck owners themselves.
There’s a good chance this person is doing this ironically, which makes it ok.
But please don’t buy Cybertrucks ironically.
i see a giant target whenever i see one of those things.
like, if bad things started happening to cyber truck owners (who are obviously cowards like most big truck people - obsessed with their own safety), people would shun those things like the plague and musk would get his come uppance.
right now, it’s become the new culture war motif - another stupid thing for stupid people to defend.
Its also kind of the latest stupid thing for people to attack. Is it ugly, obnoxious and pretentious? Yes. But are you seriously suggesting that bad things should start happening to Cybertruck owners to keep people from driving them?
-I doubt many conservatives are buying cybertrucks. Much more so libertarians, rich nerds and crypto bros
-Even if they were right wing, intimidating/harassing/attacking someone for driving the wrong kind of EV is laughable and plays right into the narrative of the “intolerant left”
Just remember those things have cameras all over them so anyone who does this has a good chance of being caught. Unless they obscure all identifying features and keep other cameras that might be in the area in mind, of course.
Lmao Iowa City might be the funniest place for someone to own a cybertruck
I think the cyber truck is a fascinating piece of antiart. It looks like something Homer Simpson would design.
The raw stainless steel doesn’t help. Just painting or wrapping it makes it look like a real vehicle. It’s still off, but it’s no worse than the cube, Aztec, or other odd cars.
Turns out that normal cars have paint jobs and a clear coat finish for a reason. For raw stainless steel, everything from road salt to bird poop is very bad if not cleaned off quickly.
It gives me the impression that Elon Musk wanted to literally design one of their vehicles but doesn’t know how to draw smooth edges and rejected any attempts to improve his design because he wanted to see what he had made rather than someone with actual talent’s interpretation of it. But maybe that’s just me.
I regularly see 2 on my commute. I wouldn’t exactly notice that I have a similar commute to other people, but a Cybertruck sticks out.
1 of them has been painted a matte black that looks like a chalkboard (good luck to them when the road salt comes out) and the other is the regular finish.
Either way, I’m always thinking about just how fucking dorky the things look compared to everything else on the highway.
And it’s not like they’re using it for anything cool. They’re both just stuck in the same traffic as the rest of us.
I have one of those ridge wallets (birthday present, decent wallet) and apparently they had a giveaway for a gold cyber truck. That would be the single most conspicuous vehicle on the road. Like, obnoxiously so. I feel bad for the winner.
I can relate to this
