I was convinced this was satire until I followed the link in the story for the Cybertruck forum where this was actually discussed.🤦♂️
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...
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.
