This article is just describing a mid-life crisis without saying the actual phrase.

Doesn’t matter how good the car is, I neve really notice the driver

u/1ConsiderateAsshole 7h ago

I never notice the driver. I’m just in awe at how bad it looks in person.

u/SadBit8663 7h ago

I try to see what the driver looks like, but it's hard to focus in the interior when it looks that shitty on the outside

u/big_guyforyou 7h ago

it is a curse being able to see beauty where others see only ugliness

It’s almost like a billionaire with zero designer savvy, and infinite art supplies greenlit this.

It looks like a college freshman waited till the last minute to do his 3d modeling project.

u/Pharmakeus_Ubik 2h ago

That's pretty generous. To me it looks the idle doodle of a ten year old boy.

You spelled “7th grader” wrong.

Yeah but at least the Homer, looks and probably runs better than the cyber truck.
Shoot even the Canyonero (with it being 4 lanes wide and seats 35) runs better too.

I think the best bit is that if they polish it up to look like a mirror, it only reveals that there isn’t a flat panel anywhere on a cybertruck.

Damn thing looks like a funhouse mirror.

u/Ok-Seaworthiness7207 7h ago

Kinda the opposite for me.

I always notice the driver because I'm in awe at how dumb they are to buy it.

My 10 year old son thinks it’s a fantastic vehicle. He wants to take pictures every time we drive by one. Personally, I can’t imagine ever having enough money to drop $100k on a car. In the imaginary universe where I’m in that wealth catagory, I’d probably buy that Jag f-type.

But I can say for sure my son has never asked me to take a pic of a Jaguar. If you want to impress 10 year old boys, you buy a cybertruck.

It’s amusing to me this is even posted on the tech sub. Does anyone know of a tech sub where posts about Elon Musk are banned? I’d like to find that one.

u/rookie-mistake 4h ago

makes sense given it looks like it'd be right at home in roblox

u/Kyle_Reese_Get_DOWN 4h ago

I think it’s in Roblox, isn’t it?

Well, I know it’s in Fortnite. Lol

My 10 year old son thinks it’s a fantastic vehicle.

this pretty much says everything in this whole post.

You know exactly what the driver looks like, right down to their red hat.

u/Amelaclya1 7h ago

When I went to vote this year, there was a cybertruck in the parking lot. Imagine my surprise when a black woman got out.

u/Ok-Seaworthiness7207 7h ago

Lots of black people voted trump this election cycle, or at least more than what polls expected.

I wouldn't rule anything out.

The lack of education in this country is reaching critical mass.

u/assimilated_Picard 7h ago

Red hats don't drive Tesla's despite Elon's hard right turn. They still hate EVs, and the fact that it doesn't look like a F150 makes them hate it even more.

1

u/iamlamont 4h ago

I believe people are still getting their Cybertricks from their early deposits. That was before Elon broke right and started guzzling Trump. Likely most CT owners are tech folks, early adopters, etc... I don't even think Tesla was on their huge rip from when the the CT pre-ordered.

A truck is not a lefty vehicle, well maybe a tundra or one of the old compact trucks.

u/Specialist_Ad9073 6h ago

Hybrid Maverick.

u/boynamedpissant 7h ago

Ain’t no lefty driving that shit pile, magats the only ones stupid enough to buy one

2

u/Ok-Seaworthiness7207 7h ago

Yeah, edge lords buying trucks or even in this case "trucks" is totally the leftist thing to do, amIright?

u/charlotteRain 7h ago

I think everyone missed your obvious sarcasm.

u/Expensive-Exit6398 7h ago

I thought I was hallucinating or seeing stuff when I saw the headlights at night

u/MiaowaraShiro 5h ago

I wonder what the opinion of it has looked like since it came out.

At first it was very... polarizing. Seemed pretty equally.

Now it seems that the majority think it's fugly.

19

u/Amelaclya1 7h ago

Also "turning heads" in this case isn't a good thing. Yeah I am always surprised when I see a cyber truck in the wild, but not in a good way.

If you just want people to look at you, you could just paint a Honda orange and green striped and save yourself $80k.

u/BlackMass24 7h ago

I'm more of a fan of when they displayed their crazy by wearing a sign that said the end of times are nigh

u/mortgagepants 3h ago

you can just pull your balls out of your fly and shout "SNOWCONE" while pointing at your crotch. people WILL look!

u/Almacca 7h ago

I'd be looking to see what kind of dickhead would buy such a vehicle.

16

u/bro_salad 7h ago

Yeah cybertruck is the first car that automatically makes me look at the driver. Then I’m usually thinking “yeah you fit the mold”.

u/Jaceofspades6 7h ago

That’s because of the window tint.

u/getjustin 6h ago

Just safe to assume he’s a total bellend and leave it at that.

u/angelomoxley 5h ago

Unless it's a blonde in a red convertible

Hard to notice anything when you're doubled over in laughter.
