My parents’ neighbor got one. Said he’s worried about about what people will think but that it’s his “dream car” or something.
Bruh. Get a Rivian. The Swastikar Deplorean cannot be separated from the batshit far-right antics of Musk.

I hope you let him know what people think about him, anytime I see a cybertruck I think there’s goes some racist douchebag that got duped into paying a lot of money for a wonky refrigerator looking lemon of a car
One day they'll be collectible, like Edsels.
Eh. I don’t really know the guy and have no intention of disrupting my parents’ relationship with their neighbor. He has owned Teslas for many years, since the point where owning one was the opposite political indicator of what owning the Cybertruck is, so I can only hope he’s just entrenched and uncaring rather than actively racist. Who knows.
I will freely admit though that I share your first impression when I see a Swastikar Deplorean in the wild.
The cyber cuck I saw just yesterday had a blue lives matter flag sticker convering 1/3 of the tailgate.
No Punisher sticker? Guy's not serious.
Good point, but it had the cYbErTrUk graffiti stickers on both sides too.
Rivian is Jeff Bezos, and not everyone wants an oversize truck.
The Cybertruck is also fucking huge. And Jeff Bezos is also terrible but not “Nazi salute the president and then slash USAID funding killing shitloads of children” terrible.
Majority stake is owned by Volkswagen group as of May, at about 16%.
Amazon still holds about 13% stake.
All these companies still suck, I just wanted to clarify the ownership.
(Cybertruck is slightly bigger than Rivian truck in almost all dimensions.)
Is the Cybertruck not an oversized truck (with a lack of utility)?
Total numbers are not as relevant as Tesla's precipitous loss of market share. But it's a meme stock, so money doesn't matter.
Relevance? I imagine people are just buying a different car instead of a bicycle.
I would say this qualifies more as Fuck Elon or Fuck Elon And His Cars, but if you look at it just right it works here.
This is a quarter of record high fuel prices too.
