your truck is bad and you should feel bad.

Thcdenton ,

You know, as much as I think Tesla sucks, I kinda feel bad pissing in someone's cheerios. My Sister-in-law loves hers. She's never had a car she really liked until now. Ima just let her be happy with her car.

suction ,

I truly feel happy for her. I once had a hammer, which was the first hammer I really loved. Didn’t use it often but just seeing it in the toolbox gave me a good feeling.

Cethin ,

You should look for more reasons to get your hammer out and use it! I hear the OP's sister has a truck that could use a good hammering! Don't let your hammer sit around gathering dust when there's some much joy you could get out of it.

Snapz ,

"Your sister" spent $120k on that... she spends that kind of money on cars ans has "never had a car she likes"? What a weird and very likely BS statement.

That car is measurably more dangerous for the other cars and pedestrians around it on the road. If she is real, she sucks for buying and driving that thing (and for supporting elon and all his horseshit with the purchase)

she sucks for buying and driving that thing

yeah, keep that gate, buddy, hope you are proud of yourself.

Thcdenton ,

You seem pretty miserable. Ima just block you.

baggachipz ,

He didn’t say she has a cybertruck, Jesus Christ guys. I have a Tesla model 3 that I fucking love. It’s a great car. Yes, Elon sucks and I now feel like a bit of a chud driving it around, but objectively it is a good vehicle by any measure.

Thcdenton ,

Don't feel bad. If you drove another car you'd still be a chud according to the fuckcars guys.

Bongles ,

"Good vehicle" is always subjective. It's always going to be an opinion and will always have people who disagree.

baggachipz ,

Reliable ✔️
Fast ✔️
Cheap to own ✔️
Convenient ✔️

The only thing I’ve done is put new tires on it when necessary. By any measure that’s a good car.

Emmie ,

What a psycho

mightyfoolish ,

This car is a waste of money. I doubt this is a vehicle that can last 15 to 25 years or whatever the average vehicle expected life span is.

I have never seen one in real life but I'll be honest, this looks pretty cool. I also have seen mbkhd talk about how well this car drives; especially for a truck. I see people rave over cars that to me look like giant toys (I admit I'm not into cars) but this is something straight out of a video game world.

About 12 years...

mightyfoolish ,

That makes more sense. Thank you.

suction ,

In reality it looks goofy and not menacing at all.

mightyfoolish ,

That's disappointing to hear. All of its "wow factor" come from its cyberpunk aesthetics.

suction ,

What makes it not work imho is that if you see the real thing you immediately realise it’s just a skin shoddily put on a conventional car base. Like a wig, if that makes any sense.
The form doesn’t follow from its inner workings so to say, it’s like a costume.

Karyoplasma ,

It looks worse than the cars I built with Lego bricks at the age of 5.

BigPotato ,

I've seen three in real life now. It's smaller than a Dodge Durango and looks silly from most angles. Low angle camera shots make it look neat though.

_haha_oh_wow_ OP ,
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

I'd be a little surprised if they even lasted 5-10 years without a crazy amount of money spent on keeping it running, they seem to rust or corrode if you so much as look at them wrong (never mind all the engineering/design disasters that went into this ridiculous thing).

Mango ,

It's lame and an egregious waste of money. I'll notice you and think "ha, loser". That's the end of it.

Some people gotta take the bad purchase decision of someone else like it's an attack on their chosen identity!

Melvin_Ferd ,

This is getting out of hand. Like it went from a few jokes to straight up bullying and being toxic to people who didn't do anything

dylanmorgan ,

Materially supporting a fascist isn’t nothing.

Melvin_Ferd ,

You're posting that from a device that uses resources mined by some of the planets poorest children

Drawing a line somewhere is better than not drawing a line at all.

suction ,

Lmao talk about changing the topic quickly

VirtualOdour ,

Seriously, risking charges just to lash out at a billionaire by attacking someone using their product is absolutely crazy. It's unhinged even without the risk of charges, especially of all the things to attack an electric vehicle - do people not remember how we'd dog on the manchildren that did similar things to prius?

Melvin_Ferd ,

Last trump election there was huge push online to make the right as uncivil as possible. It seems like this round its the left because talking to a lot of these people are reminding me of what it was like speaking to the right pre election.

moon ,

They're intentionally supporting Elon, so yeah they are

has been bombarded with reactions (both good and bad)

Are articles just school essays with a minimum word count?

not_that_guy05 ,

Yes.

He should find all the Republicans who can’t get Tinder matches and start a support group.

@dohpaz42@lemmy.world avatar

Not only did he get an unpopular truck, but he still uses Reddit. This guy is 0-2. What’s next?

Brunbrun6766 ,
@Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world avatar

He uses Twitter. Probably watches Televised News

Dorkyd68 ,

Anyone that supports muskrat is an automatic pos in my book. He's an evil degenerate.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

I've never liked that nickname, just because muskrats are pretty cool and don't deserve to be brought down to that shithead's level.

Dorkyd68 , (edited )

You're right it's a disservice to the glorious beings that are muskrats. How about we just call him... sir shitstain nazi mckfuckface?

jubilationtcornpone ,

I would suggest "Fuckface von Clownstick" but that name is already taken.

suction ,

I bet if you knew this guy you’d realise he’s actually 0 - infinity

casmael ,

Sorry is this the onion or not I am actually confused on this occasion

@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

Investing in a license plate from Maine that just says "Event" and driving around at low speeds while smoothly sliding on and taking off my sunglasses was also probably not helpful.

Actually no our polls indicate that helped your numbers

jaschen ,

I want a cyber minivan. Then I can truly be hated by everyone.

deegeese ,
@deegeese@sopuli.xyz avatar

You can already get a plug in hybrid minivan.

Its so uncool but I love it.

I only buy gas every 3 months.

jaschen ,

That is still cooler than a CyberMinivan. This thing will be literally hated by all.

Schmuppes ,

To me, minivans are probably the most sensible vehicles out there. Does it comfortably seat 5 to 8 people? Yes. Does it offer lots of space for anything you need to haul from A to B? Yes. Does it have a footprint and gas consumption similar to a regular sedan? Yes.

SeattleRain ,

At least they're not setting it on fire like they did when the H2 was released.

_haha_oh_wow_ OP ,
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

Given all the problems they've had so far, the trucks may well end up lighting themselves on fire.

jqubed ,
@jqubed@lemmy.world avatar

I saw one in person finally a few weeks ago and just started laughing; it’s even uglier in person! But I wouldn’t intentionally try to damage someone else’s vehicle; that’s even more ridiculous.

hamid ,
@hamid@vegantheoryclub.org avatar

I had the same reaction, I immediately started laughing at how ridiculous it looked.

If you drive a douchemobil, you shouldn't be surprised when people think you're a douche.

Carter tells the paper he has never been a fan of the limelight, somehow forgetting what sort of attention a massive, angular truck would garner him.

Lmao dude bought the fugliest car ever made and didn't think twice about that decision

JustEnoughDucks ,
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

I think it is more "carter lies in the paper's face that he has never been a fan of the limelight"

You literally don't buy a cyberrustbucket unless you are dying for attention.

imkali ,

and later,

He knew the truck would be an eye-catcher in Maine. But he wanted it for its uniqueness.

“It’s so ugly it’s cute. It’s like a French bulldog,” he said. “I don’t think it’s the most attractive car in the world, but it’s different. And I like to be different.”

jumjummy ,

Thinking someone is a douche and actively damaging their car are two completely different things. Not cool to damage property like that, just point and laugh or loudly exclaim how that is the ugliest looking car you’ve ever seen and you pity whoever thought it was a good idea to buy one.
