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.

They're all masochists. I've never seen a group that wants to be oppressed more than conservatives. Their lives revolve around bullshit perceived aggrievement.

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.

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.

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

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?
