    I deeply want a compilation video of cybertruck owners being shamed in public like that. It would be incredibly satisfying.

      I’m sure you also make personal choices not everyone agrees with. Why all this spite?

      Plus, there still really isn’t a compelling EV choice for pickups. Is this unconventional styling really worse than an F-150 $20k+ over the marketed price and where the base version never actually appeared? Is it really worse that the GMC “Ultium is so much better” truck that no one ever sees and they stopped making? Is it worse than the RAM truck “we’re all in in EVs, except for making them”? We need something, anything, to push the truck market, so even if Cybertruck’s style doesn’t succeed, we need them to push other manufacturers

      Maybe Rivian is the future, but they’re still too expensive and the company too small. They’re definitely the one to watch

      For every person laughing there are 4 people finding it cool, at least that’s what I saw in the MKBHD review.

      Makes sense to me - most people in the real world aren’t terminally online, don’t know the Cybertruck exists, and have no idea it has anything to do with Elon Musk. So when seeing one they just have a “wow what an unusual car, that’s interesting” reaction.
