I realized she was laughing derisively. She was like, “What kind of person would drive something like that?” Or, “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.”
Granted, she could have been having a weird reaction to a stroke or something, but I’m pretty sure I saw what I saw. Then today, I was at a four-way stop, and a guy in a Nissan Titan/Toyota Tundra or something smiled and then chuckled like: “What a tool.” Or, who would drive something like that?”
Mate, these thoughts are in your head. My partner has bouts of anxiety where she assumes people are always thinking the worst of her, so I’m hesitant to make fun of the dude because I’ve seen what it can do to someone, but he’s clearly bought a dumbass car to get attention and now he’s feeling insecure about it. It’s sad.
It’s both in this case though. People are pretty outspoken in how ridiculous that thing is, and he knows it too.
He knows it and he did it intentionally, but the people laughing at him are his imagination. He’s projected these thoughts onto them because he feels self-conscious, nobody said a word to him. It’s just as likely the woman was laughing because she’s on the phone, or the man was smirking at something on a podcast he’s got playing.
Edit: Will you people stop telling me you laugh at Cybertrucks. I don’t care, that’s not the point.
I’ve pointed and laughed at every Cybertuck I’ve seen for the reasons the guy referenced in the post thinks. I’m full-on laughing at the people who plopped down $100k for those 4-year-old’s-drawing-of-a-fucking-Halo-Warthog pieces of shit. Bullying serves a social function and these dumbasses are in need of it.
But this is really what people are thinking, not just in his head. I’ve chuckled to myself when I see these things, and they definitely are noticed by everyone so someone straight laughing upon seeing one is not out of the ordinary.
I will actively point and laugh.
I have more respect for someone walking around in an actual clown costume, than I do someone driving around that clown car.
I thought this was satire.
Your truck is stupid looking and poorly built, and you paid way too much for it.
I can sympathize with the people who bought their trucks unaware that it was going to be a piece of shit, or unfamiliar with Musk in general. But I have to believe that’s a small minority, and a lot of them should have returned their trucks for a refund by now.
If you’re driving it to make eco-conscious decisions, there are better options out there.
If you like the features and design, there are better options out there.
If you’re driving it as a status symbol, or because you’re a Musk fanboy, you deserve ridicule.
But you should also know that the ultimate flex is not giving a fuck what other people think. Own your place in the world, and be the person you want to be. Ignore the haters, no matter how ridiculous you look.
it’s because of elon’s very public desire to destroy democracy, his flouting of our laws, his ruining of twitter, his hatred for certain people and love of pushing lies and paranoia, and other such nonsense. blame elon. he’s made driving a tesla go from “wow, awesome” to “omg, you support that azzhole?” in a few short years. it’s a shame.
The low polygonal design is definitely not for everyone. However, this still doesn’t explain why the vehicle triggers people so much.
It’s more than enough. You spent north of $100,000 on something that looks like a child’s drawing of a car. This isn’t a real thinker - you will be mocked.
child’s drawing of a car
Every time I see one of these, however, I have tons of respect for the people buying them
I do still avoid them though lol
That’s the genius bit. They’re symmetrical so the front panels fit the back and vice versa
I saw my first one on the road a few days ago. Somehow it looked even more stupid in person than it did in the videos and photos. It’s poorly built, ugly, and waaay over-priced.
I actually cringed out loud for the person who bought it because they thought it looked cool. Buying one of these things is the latest sign of a cavalcade of poor life choices.
