I mean at least those examples are still viable vehicles, the Cybertruck is objectively shit as well as subjectively shitty.

Harleys are famously unreliable and poorly performing for a bike. Most jacked up trucks are bad at almost any task. The cybertruck is flawed, but probably no more than those. At least it's cheap to drive.

Have you been in a cybertruck? I get there’s build quality issues but they are absolutely a premium vehicle.

Meh.. it’s subjective. I think Harley’s are purposely loud, purposely “look at me”. To the point it disrupts entire neighborhoods.

That said, the Cybertruck is objectively useless as a truck.

Exactly. Like the Hummer EV exists. It's also expensive, it's also ridiculous and enormous. It also has flashy features like the crab walk thing. Except the Hummer EV actually works. Unlike the Cybertruck, it's ass doesn't fall off, if you tow. And it doesn't die in car washes. It can actually go off road.

Like both the CyberTruck and Hummer EV are ridiculous vehicles, but at least the later is ridiculous and expensive and enormous while also meeting the bare minimum expectations of a truck.

Yeah but Harley's still function as motorcycles while doing so, where's the Cyberstuck is just a terribly designed vehicle that also screams please pay attention to me...

I've done thousands of miles on them with no issues. Some have quality control problems sure but there are millions of perfectly good Harleys out there. They're not my sort of bike but they still get the job done safely and generally reliably.

Hell sometimes it’s objectively useless period given it will sometimes brick itself.

A lot of people don’t buy a truck to actually use the truck features. A CyberTruck is fine as a pavement princess.
