Final warning?.. before a strongly worded letter?
ANOTHER TWEET!!!
The implication is that he will shoot whoever is doing this
What kind of person makes their car brand their social media display name?
I like how he said “…Final warning”. Like what are you gonna do? Post more complaints on facebook? Leave a bad review?
Honestly if I saw that post I’d probably leave like 3 on his car next time just because.
Unpopular opinion - I like the look & the idea of the Cybertruck. I think it’s a cool looking vehicle. I like the design and the concept of an edgy light-duty electric pickup truck.
I’d never buy one - they’re too expensive, have way too many issues, and Musk is a fucking chode. But I take issue with people who call it “ugly.”
Personally, I think most “traditional” pickup trucks are ugly. The F150, Ram, Silverado? Those are at the very best - boring. They’re definitely not attractive. At least the Cybertruck is a fresh concept for a pickup.
I recently bought a Hyundai Ioniq 5. It shares a couple design elements of the Cybertruck- simple polygons, angular, sharp edges. Obviously not nearly as extreme, but if a more reliable & less shithead-led company released a wildly / surreally designed vehicle similar to the Cybertruck, I’d consider it.
IIRC it doesn’t do the pickup thing all that well, other than that the purpose of pickups nowadays is mostly as a status symbol. It’s kinda surprising, I live in a wealthy mountain town full of electrics but have only ever seen one (1) cybertruck in person.
Edit: UPDATE: saw two today, both had been painted (lol)
Nissan should make an electric Titan that looks like the old Alpha-T concept. That thing looked so awesome.
I don’t follow trucks, so this was the first I heard of the Alpha-T. Would definetly take that over the Cybertruck.
Here it is for anyone else not familiar. It may have been a bit much for 2001, but in the 2010s with the Total Recall and Blade Runner remakes, this would’ve fit in great!
The profile of the production gen 1 titan is very similar, but the body kit they had on the alpha t was just so sweet.
The article I looked at had a few side by side images, and while it does share a decently similar silhouette, the feeling I’d get seeing those 2 vehicles on the lot or the street would be so different between the pair. I get that underneath it’s likely the same exact truck, but I’d see different types of people wanting one or the other and I wouldn’t expect both to be coming from the same manufacturer.
Again, I’m not a truck person, but while I like those last generation of trucks before pickups had to go all aggro, the production model is dated now while the concept looks like they could successfully unveil it this year. It looks bold, but in a sci fi way moreso than in a Texas truck bro kind of way. Like someone could be hauling a suit of Fallout power armor in the back of it or be conducting some post apocalyptic research in the wasteland to save humanity.
The cybertruck design is dangerous.
The sharp edges with raw steel can cut someone.
Someone did already get cut badly on their cybertruck
They roll the edges of steel for a reason, it makes it safer
If you typed out the description of the Cybertruck, I’d like it. A DeLorean crossed with an Chevrolet El? EV? Stainless Steel(Although aluminum body would be better for weight)? Sign me up.
Problem is, that’s not what it looks like. It looks like a low poly render of a boring suv. And like an suv, you can’t really do truck things with it. Say what you want about the appearance of a truck(and I don’t like the appearance of modern pickups), you can tow with them and have plenty of storage space in the bed. Well, ymmv on “plenty”, but it’s still more then a cybertruck. If you don’t need space or towing, just get a suv. I’d say station wagon, but they don’t make those anymore.
A vehicle should exist for utility before it exists for style.
The SUV is really just a mini van. Mini vans got a bad rep, which I think is a shame because I LOVED my Honda Odyssey. It drives like a car, and has a 3rd row that you can actually sit adults in. Also, with all the seats down, and middle seats removed, you could carry a LOT. We fit two full sofas from Ikea back there. It was a tight fit, but it worked great.
For whatever reason people don’t like the idea of mini vans, so they made the suv because TRUCK. We replaced the Odyssey with a Subaru Ascent, and that is great too, it has all wheel driving, and a lot more bells and whistles than the old Odyssey. The 3rd row is not nice to sit in as an adult though, and I miss the sliding doors, those were great in tight spaces.
They just need to put more sliding doors on these vehicles they expect people to get in and out of the back seats.
SUVs are minivans for people too insecure to admit that they need a minivan.
So much of the car buying community is just letting yourself get up sold by images of a family of 5, cruising the open road, probably Alaska or Wyoming, quickly swerving out of the way of falling boulders or smoothly going over potholes, when they’re ninety nine percent of the time, they’ll be stuck in traffic and driving the same hand full of miles.
Well, unpopular it is. I saw once a picture of two Cybertrucks in a desert and the first thing that came to mind was an 80s low budget sci fi movie scene.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What is ugly to others, may be beautiful to you.
I’ve been told that I love ugly cars. Like the Pontiac Aztec, the Subaru Baja, and the Honda element. You’ll find people either love or hate them, but I commonly love the cars that most people find polarizing. And the cyber truck is indeed one of the polarizing cars that I like too.
Based on your message, the reason why you love them is because so many people hate them aka polarizing. This is real-world edge lord crap. If you truly loved em, you’d say why you love them that goes beyond just being the opposite of the majority for the sake of it.
Back when it was first revealed in 2019 Musk hadn’t yet morphed into his final chud form and the thing was to be priced at $39k. I thought it looked cool and the price was right, I honestly would have considered buying one given the federal subsidies.
Here we are, 5 years later and Musk is yet another of Putin’s puppets actively helping Trump and the online legions of morons destroy the country and the Cybertruck is now $80k with no upgrades, $100k with.
I was never in love with it, but at this point buying it is a lot like buying a red MAGA hat. It pegs you as a particular type of dumbass, particularly given its reputation for terrible quality control. The kind of dumbass that spends six figures to trigger the libs.
He announced this after he tried to insert himself into the Thai cave rescue and called the guy actually doing something “a pedo guy”.
Also, since Elon Musk won the ensuing defamation case, you can now legally call Elon “Pedo Guy” and he can’t stop you
I used to carry “business cards” to place on cars that take more than one parking space.
They looked very much like that, but read:
"I hope you don’t fuck like you park, you’ll never get it in.
Assholes like you should ride the bus!"
Protip: Stick the cards on the passenger side rear-view mirror.
That way the driver won’t notice them at first until they want to start driving, and then they have to get out of the car and walk around it to take it off.Bold of you to assume that people who park across multiple stalls use their mirrors
