A Tesla Cybertruck owner says there is a concerted effort to publicly shame people who drive the all-electric truck. He recounts several instances where people pointed and laughed at him while driving his Cybertruck.
His whining at the beginning certainly had me wondering too.
And then there are the comments – “There just haters there mad cause they can’t afford one them self’s…” Like really, did you even make it beyond third grade? And this is the kind of person who is sticking up for Cybertruck owners? Maybe there are a number of reasons why we point and laugh…
That’s the usual line I see. Buddy, I could buy one in cash tomorrow if I wanted. I’d rather put that money in a barrel and burn it to cook my dinner than spend it on the PS1 titty shape truck.
I don’t scowl at the guy in the white Lambo I see sometimes. I don’t frown when a Porsche flies past me on the interstate. Shit, even a brand new Corvette will get a “nice!” from me. If it were jealousy I’d hate all kinds of people.
Cybertrucks are just horribly ugly. So ugly it assaults your senses, I can’t help but think “oh that car hasn’t finished rendering” every time.
Right? There’s a Countach that parks next door to my favorite bar pretty often on the weekends and I have not once pointed and laughed at it. That’s a vehicle I’ll never be able to buy but I’m not jealous. I’m jazzed to see it.
I’m not a car guy but even I think it’s cool as hell.
I’ve said it other places, but you don’t get a sense of just how bad they are until you see one in person. I don’t know if it’s that they’re a bit bigger than I thought, or that I’m used to seeing fake images of all sorts of things, but even though I’d seen pictures I was surprised at how bad they are in person. They’re cartoonishly awful.
I think there is a large group of people in America who define their self worth based on how much money their family makes. For them they see the cyber truck as showing off their success.
Maybe this is just dumb rich people. What did they used to buy before this? Exotic cars that break down ever few hundred miles? Outfits that cost tens of thousands of dollars?
Putting the “dumb” in dumber. I don’t know how people can be so wasteful. I mean when I buy a car, I expect to not have to take it in for work for a very long time. Imagine my surprise today when I went to get an emissions test and found out the back end of my exhaust pipe has rusted off. The last time I had any work done on it (other than oil changes) was before COVID, when someone hit me. I drove my previous (first) vehicle for 24 years before deciding I needed to get an SUV for towing capacity. Man if I had that kind of crazy money to blow on a cheap cybertruck, I’d be using it for donations or something. I can “prove” my worth by the smiles at the children’s hospital.
I was convinced this was satire until I followed the link in the story for the Cybertruck forum where this was actually discussed.🤦♂️

The difference between a Cybertruck and a Countach is the difference between a self-indulgent wiener and a connoisseur.

How dare you insult the PS1 like that?!?!
Wow, did I hit that one or what? And it’s just so sad.

I’m sure it is and outlets are just taking the bait because they know it’ll generate clicks.
But what made you think it’s not satire?
The link to the forum discussion in the article probably
There’s no way that’s satirical, there’s too much of it
