I’ve seen one many times driving to work, or home from family visits (on the same road) and I always make sure to see my finger flying out the window. The last time I saw them, they were having an argument, and I choose to believe they were arguing over something to the time of,
“I HATE RIDING IN THIS THING, WE ALWAYS GET FLIPPED OFF”
“IDK WHAT TO TELL YOU, IT WAS A GREAT INVESTMENT”
Even if that’s not it, seeing people be miserable in a cybercuck makes me happy on the inside.
TheFunkyMonk@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I heard a comedian a while back talking about how her husband gives people a thumbs down instead of flipping them off in road rage situations and it pisses people off so much more, so I’ve been doing that to cybertrucks. I love it.

OTH really was just some random animated movie that was stacked with huge talents doing voiceover.
TehWorld@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
A lot of animated movies have super star studded voiceovers. The pay is pretty good for these actors and they don’t have to spend hours on makeup and wardrobe. They show up in regular clothes, talk into a mic for a couple hours then go home and cash a fat check. Vastly easier than actual acting roles.

I must mention, the ps2 / pc game that came with this movie was very liminal and surreal, especially the house level at night. This is the best screenshot i found. It doesn’t feel like a real house, but a set. I can’t explain, i think you might have to play this youself. Image

I’m near SpaceX in CA and see plenty of men in them because SpaceX purchased a bunch for company cars when Tesla couldn’t sell them.
Also it’s really weird to see like, 8 of them in one place.

ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Every cybertruck I see where I live has some company logo or wrap on it. It’s great advertising – it lets me know never to hire that company for anything.
The most hilarious one is for a company that does waterproofing. Like yes, I’m going to hire a waterproofing company that just spent $100K on a vehicle that can’t go through a car wash.

Leaving all the downsides of the Cybertruck aside - the fact that it’s built by a fucking nazi, the fact that it can turn in to a death trap, the fact that the build quality is shit…
Who the fuck buys a hideous, hideous car like this…? Who suffers from such poor taste that they think a piece of junk that looks like it was designed by a five-year-old is something worth spending money on, let alone so much?
dev_null@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
I don’t know, I think it looks cool.
Completely impractical, shitty car built by a Nazi that nobody should even consider buying. But in terms of looks alone I like it. I’d gladly drive one in, e.g. in a video game (if the look wasn’t associated with Musk, unfortunately it’s tainted now).
glorkon@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It looks cool? Well, we have completely different ideas of cool looks, apparently… I think this car looks cool. Image
biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I hate the cybertruck, but I think it’s chassis modularity is really neat, they just cut a predefined line in the chassis, then drop in a replacement section, although I’m not sure if I should trust the glue they use to fuse them, even after seeing how it happens in JerryRigEverything’s video on it.
markovs_gun@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Cybercucks buy these shitty vehicles for the same reason they do anything - to own the libs. That’s the only point of it.
matdave@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
I’m not defending the Cybertruck, but I used to think the same thing about the Honda Insight. It looks much nicer now, but that was after a huge toning down of toddler design.
glorkon@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That may be true, but in case of the Cybertruck, I doubt that there is any lipstick you can put on that particular pig that can somehow turn it into something I would even remotely consider buying.
I mean, I’m European, I can’t buy the fricking thing anyway, but I am also rather glad that I’m spared from ever seeing it in the wild.

Everyone gets lost talking about this thing. Purchasing and driving a poorly-engineered or aesthetically-questionable vehicle isn’t the primary problem. That’s not unique. There have always been shitty vehicles.
People who drive these gave $80,000 to empower the Nazis. The fact that they’re shitboxes just underscores that conspicuous consumption and the support and affiliation for and with Fascism are the entire point.

I never understood this weird hate boner that Reddit and Lemmy users have for cybertrucks specifically. It can’t be a moral position because they’re fine with regular Teslas, just not this one. It also can’t be about the ugly design because they’re fine with other ugly cars.
The thing is that I’ve seen a few of these out in the wild, and they’re almost always driven either by Indian tech bros or white finance bros. I’ve never seen any right wing types drive these like so many people here seem to think. In fact, the right wing types have this weird vendetta against all electric cars and they intentionally go for the gas guzzling pickup trucks. Which this hate boner even more baffling. It’s like people are mad for the sake of it.
inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Let’s not pretend that this is a unique issue with cybertrucks.

It was that way even when the cybertruck came out. Early tesla users, maybe, but we knew he was a weirdo cunt who came from apartheid money even then.
You want an electric truck, get a rivian. You wanna drive a nazi flag, get any type of tesla.
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Ya know I’m aware they are basically the inbred cousin of the old Avalanche trucks that is to say an SUV with a slight bed but I feel like a single cab cyber truck would look better and be more functional.
LillyPip@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Owning a cybertruck is an indication the driver is a Nazi. It was always an indicator of very poor taste, but now it marks you as a Nazi. Don’t bother trying to change my mind. I know it, my cat knows it, the mould in that tupperware I keep putting off opening in the far reaches of my fridge knows it.
No excuses now, and no bumper stickers will dissuade me. It’s been long enough, sell the thing or start sieg heiling.

protist@mander.xyz 3 weeks ago
Very early on, I think there were some well-meaning people who were really excited about it. The idea of an all-electric truck was brand new, and the promise was huge. It unfortunately wasn’t until after many Cybertruck preorders had been secured that Elon plainly revealed his true colors, and then after it was delivered that people found out it was a piece of garbage
MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Idk, the first cyber trucks delivered nov 30 2023.
His takeover of Twitter was 2022, with plenty of bright red flags The “pedo guy” thing was 2019 All of his COVID violations were extremely public in 2020 and 2021
I think you’d have to be living under a rock to be completely unaware of what he was by the time preorders were locked in
LillyPip@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Yeah, true. But we’re like several years past that now. If you could afford one of those sins against the design gods, you could afford to take the L by now.
finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
They couldn’t tell from the look of the thing? When he first unveiled it, I thought it he was trying to make some sort of joke. Legitimately thought he was trying to prank people! The design is atrocious!

funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
this is not an endorsement of Musk or of Tesla or of cybertruck drivers - but this is a Very Online take. My boss’ husband drives a cybertruck, he doesn’t know what tiktok is, he doesn’t know what a meme is nor does he understand them when he sees them (he asks who it’s a photo of), the only news he consumes is in regards to logistics and supply chain and a little bit of the stock market.
I imagine he has as much understanding of why people hate elon musk as to I do as to why people love Sidney Crosby and hate Alexander Ovechkin - two people I had never heard of or know nothing about before googling “hockey players people love and hate.”
I won’t even remember their names in 5 minutes. I imagine a fair amount of cybertruck owners are like that.
LillyPip@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I guess that’s fair, though my 89 year old dad who’s also not terminally online knows this, so I have a hard time with excuses now.
Much as it sucks, if I see your boss driving that crime against fingers, I’m still gonna see him as a Nazi. Maybe someone should tell him.
nile_istic@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s not a “Very Online” take, it’s a “paying any modicum of attention” take. Willful ignorance is not a valid excuse for anything, and if your boss truly thinks of Elon Musk (the richest man in the world who has bought elections and media platforms and every American’s social security number) the same way that you think of some random hockey player, then your boss is being willfully ignorant. It’s giving “i’M nOt pOLiTiCaL”, which we all know is just cowardese for “conservative”.
Honytawk@feddit.nl 2 weeks ago
Does your boss’s husband know what a hitler salute is?
Probably, because they drive a cybertruck.
Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
That seems really odd to me. Generally people do at least a bit of research about a vehicle purchase, especially that expensive. I’m not even referring to Musk shit, just vehicle buying in general. Anyone looking up anything about the cost/value of a cybertruck would pretty quickly get an abundance of info about it being a bad buy without getting into any of the Musk stuff.
I guess if your boss’ husband just has the money and liked the look/what it said it’d do, then fair enough. Just seems strange to knowingly buy a lemon.

helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Hard to sell them when the only potential buyer market is people you want to avoid at all cost or a used car place that will buy it for an insulting fraction of it’s value.
And buying a replacement in this economy? We can judge new buyers all day long, we can judge people with 200k salaries that keep them, but the folks that can’t sell it are stuck with a car that no one will buy; maybe they got laid off, had to take a big salary cut to keep living, can’t afford a new car, and because they can charge the car for free at work they have extra moey for food.
