    I saw one of these for the first time the other day and was kind of awestruck at how dumb it looked in real life. I mean, I was never a big fan of the design but it really looked so much worse in person

    I saw someone refer to these stupid things as “Incel-Caminos”, and that’s the most perfect description of anything I’ve come across recently.

      I’ve said for a while that they look like a cheap fiberglass shell put over an El Camino for a straight-to-video Mad Max ripoff from the 80s.

    Even the tires are ugly. That’s… kind of impressive. I never once considered tires could be uglier than other tires. But here we are.

    Drive it anyway. The Cybertruck can handle it. The Cybertruck can handle anything! I heard it’s made out of 1978 Hot Wheels parts and 1982 Megaforce machismo.

        I think they’re in some sort of lot, under a tent. The Lego truck isn’t on asphalt. You can see how the road runs past it in the upper left.

      Looks like picture was taken from a jeep or some other sort of vehicle with a soft top, and we’re seeing that top hanging down into the shot

      Oh to be ignorant of the cyber truck. There are so many complaints about this piece of crap daily online. They lock out their owners, have body panels fall off, have very few protections against auto closing doors cutting off fingers, the accelerator pedals can get stuck at full speed while moving, they are uncoated stainless steel which corrodes, and replacement parts are insanely expensive.

        I saw a YouTube short of someone claiming Tesla fixed the trunk door cutting people’s fingers off. He demonstrated with a banana at first. It detected the banana and immediately opened the door again. It barely made a dent into the banana. So he’s like imma try my finger now lol. So he tries his finger and of course that fucker clamps down hard on this mf’s finger, which gets stuck for a short while before the Tesla gives up and opens the door again. But his finger had a huge and deep dent in it, bro. You could tell he was in big pain. His hand was shaking minutes after the event.

        I don’t know what’s worse, the door, or this idiot thinking a banana is an accurate prop to use in place of a finger. I would’ve used something smaller than my finger. If it detected that, you would think a finger would be safe…

      Did the Metallica finish divert your attention given you’re usually such a Radio head when driving, that you wanted to rather eat a bag of nine inch nails than having to look at this thing?

    I recently saw one in Tennessee too, and I was pretty lucky I was wearing sunglasses driving by it! It was early afternoon, with clear skies all around lol

    For the record, the one I saw didn’t have a boot on it, yet
