There's something tragic about Cybertruck owners, and it's nothing to do with Elon.
They seem to be wildly impressed by their vehicle doing the most mediocre things that any AWD vehicle can do.
I think that's the thing with cyber truck owners. They have the worst car imaginable, but it goes fast when they hit the accelerator and the sound system is excellent. Therefore it's the best car ever.
I must be at another level of cynicism than you, because I want to replace 'tragic' with 'uproariously hilarious'.
They're just coping with the fact they spent 6 figures on this giant piece of shit so they convince themselves their investment was worth it because truck go brrr
truck no go brrrr. truck go ......
(because it broke haha)
Yeah, at this point they know they got conned, and they either have to admit that or double down and act wildly impressed at its ability to, like, drive on an unpaved road.
I read a while back that many of them were shocked the cyber truck didn't fit in regular parking spaces. In other words, these are people that, for the most part, have never owned a large pickup before. The obvious conclusion is that they bought it for cred or because they think it looks cool, not because they actually need a vehicle that size.
I mean, I don't think a lot of pickup drivers are aware of the fact that their giant ass truck doesn't fit in a regular parking space
They're aware, I'm sure, but there isn't much they can do about it if they need to park there. Even Home Depot and Lowe's have this issue.
That's a common theme, yes. They've clearly never owned a pickup truck, and don't realise what they have is actually pretty bad by pickup truck standards.
That also might explain why they think it's so awesome. They've nothing to compare it to.

He probably let his Boat Mode subscription expire
Man, I feel like it's too late for that to be a good black mirror episode, but that woulda hit hard in like 2019.
Elon, "a death boat still counts as a boat."
its a very expensive COFFIN.
Vikikng funeral.
I will never not smile at these lumps of shit falling apart.
I guess we found a way to get rid of this ugly truck. Convince them it is a boat?
Anything can be a boat when out in water, it's a matter of which boat it is. Most turns Titanic mode.
