IlovethebombThere’s something tragic about Cybertruck owners, and it’s nothing to do with Elon.
They seem to be wildly impressed by their vehicle doing the most mediocre things that any AWD vehicle can do.
They’re just coping with the fact they spent 6 figures on this giant piece of shit so they convince themselves their investment was worth it because truck go brrr
Yeah, at this point they know they got conned, and they either have to admit that or double down and act wildly impressed at its ability to, like, drive on an unpaved road.
I read a while back that many of them were shocked the cyber truck didn’t fit in regular parking spaces. In other words, these are people that, for the most part, have never owned a large pickup before. The obvious conclusion is that they bought it for cred or because they think it looks cool, not because they actually need a vehicle that size.
I mean, I don’t think a lot of pickup drivers are aware of the fact that their giant ass truck doesn’t fit in a regular parking space
WesDym@captainlezbian I think they are. They just don't care. I think most of them see it as evidence of their manliness.
I'm not joking about that. I really do believe that in the US, a lot of pickup owners -- maybe a majority, maybe more -- are doing it performatively. The truck is their personality, an expression of their insucurities and constant need to 'prove' they're 'real men'. It's sad.
