As much as I LOL'd and agree with the sentiment, this is almost entirely about politics, not infrastructure -- the only tenuous connection is that the political shithead happens to own a car company. As such, please try to resist the temptation to post more stuff like this here.


Edit to address some feedback:

Yes, !fuckcars is political, but that doesn't mean everything political is on-topic. If this had been about Musk interfering with CA high-speed rail, it would be unambiguously on-topic. If this had been about the harmful effects of those trucks on other road users, it would be unambiguously on-topic (although for the record, I dislike threads hating on any one particular type of car because they risk missing the point that all of them contribute to most of the problems).

But it was neither of those things. It was just pointing out the dishonesty of people who bought a particular product with a particular political connotation. The fact that the product happened to be a vehicle was irrelevant to the idea being conveyed. That makes it a good fit for somewhere like !politicalmemes or !enoughmuskspam, maybe, but not here.

It's also a shitty, unreliable, dangerous vehicle that allows them to be on the road because Elon is the richest dipshit on earth right now.

He's pushed past regulations and forced his shitty vehicles to be on roads all across the world, including Europe, which doesn't have the road infrastructure to handle things like the cybertruck. It's bypassing regulation after regulation to show up on the road as a massive eyesore.

The Cybertruck is the culmination of everything fuckcars is about imo.

Where in the EU is it legal to drive a Cybertruck? Not in Germany as far as I know. I thought it was EU regulations that blocked it

I've seen it in Warsaw.
