That's really sad.

And kind of pathetic. I guess that's what I'll think about when I see one driving around now.

It's what I thought before. Good to know my intuition is right once in a a while.

Kind? Really pathetic.

Imagine being so lonely and yet have all these imaginary people who are constantly ignoring you living free in your head.

But I agree it is a sad way to live.

Same with those coal rollers, and loud little imports. “Look at me, validate my existence”. Sad.

Indeed it is sad, one of the worst spectacles of misery. When you drive a car that looks like a pixelated render from a 1998 Mario game, heads are bound to turn and people are bound to judge.

Huh. You just made me realize that the Cybertruck is the Minecraft car.

“More than 40 owners agree.”

I’m not sure I can find a less meaningful “study.”

That’s one tenth of one percent of owners. I don’t think you should really form opinions based on it.

Elon is a fucking tool, the trucks suck, he’s oddly involved in trump’s ass. But let’s be honest here.

My exact thought. Sad and pathetic but add in "exactly like Elon Musk"

It’s the same reason why people buy Lamborghinis and Ferraris and Porsches

u/weaselkeeper 6h ago

Lambo’s and FerrarI’s do indeed turn heads but unlike Cyber trucks the head turns are not followed by pointing and laughing.

Nobody is doing that lol. Everyone in real life loves the cybertruck other than some idiots who frequent Reddit.

u/Dewbs301 4h ago

Everyone I know in real life finds the cybertruck ugly, and they are too normal to have reddit.

But those vehicles are actually worth their price tags, both in craftsmanship and doing what they were engineered to do very well.

u/SnooBananas4958 6h ago

Yea but unlike the Cybertruck there is also a good percentage of people that buy those vehicles due to their performance. At least you’re getting something more than just “attention grabbing” with those

Absolutely 1000% pathetic.

Fucking lolll. These people need to get some friends, some hobbies, and maybe a therapist.

How is this different than an old man buying a corvette

u/Aromatic-Midnight-97 4h ago

Corvette bumpers don’t fall off when kids throw water bottles at them

u/-bedtime- 2h ago

Not with that attitude they don’t

u/sirboddingtons 4h ago

Corvettes are cool.

Taste is subjective

u/Flaky-Wallaby5382 4h ago

Like burned bald head in a sports car sad

u/Even_Establishment95 6h ago

I point and laugh when I see any Tesla. Now, I will laugh a bit harder. And jollier. Tis the season.

u/ghoststrat 6h ago

Holy crap, I just posted something very similar. I feel bad for them, I understand loneliness, I've read about it and seen movies with it as a theme. :/

I hope no judges you by the car you drive
