A Facebook group for Cybertruck owners is full of videos and photos of passersby and other drivers flicking them off, leaving notes that say “WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?,” and “NAZI CAR,” and people kicking their cars, throwing slices of cheese at it, etc.

Cybertrucks are ugly, poorly-built, and poorly-designed vehicles. These protesters are doing any potential owners who get deterred from wasting their money on them a favor.

You forgot no safer than a ford pinto.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 12 hours ago

Like 13 times less safe than a Ford Pinto, and ~50x worse (for fires) than another EV.

Oh, the Pinto, with it's missing gas tank design, and later rebranding as the Ford Mustang after killing so many in a firey death. Gotta love the Pinto...

Edit: to be clear, I'd rather drive it than the boxy Prius wannabe.

Dude, what did the Prius do to you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

The boxy Prius wannabe? A lot. The real Prius, nothing. It's a rather nice vehicle, actually (not the box).

I test drove one because I had to know. It was awful. I've driven dozens of different vehicles and it by far is the worst I've ever driven. It's just stupid. Everything about it is stupid.

It also felt satisfying to cost Tesla like $10 in electricity and wear and tear.

Should we all sign up to test drive Teslas with zero intentions to buy, just to cost them time & money?

I have a feeling that one of Elon's kids were the inspiration. One told him while watching Blade Runner or something with them "Why does the future not look like the future?", then he decided to cook, and people around him let him.

Elon doesn’t spend time with his children. They are meat shields to him.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

Close, except it's himself coming up with the idea. His kids are smarter than that
