      Normally a company would get a boost after a major announcement, though, if it was successful.

    I think I’m going to cancel my Cybertruck order. Seems like quality is going to be a big issue, too.

        I’ve wanted one too. For me it has a weird sorta retro scifi feel. Like, if a Dolorian was a truck. Mixed with a splash of Night Rider. Even some elements of Tron (the hard lines/angles).

          I’d rather have a cross between the Delorean and an El Camino. The cybertruck is not the style of truck I’d want.

    “Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, who was among the first dozen customers to pick up the vehicle on Thursday, said…” 🤣🤣🤣
