I live in a small town in British Columbia Canada. I saw my first cybertruck today. The guy driving was staring straight forward not making eye contact with anyone and the passenger whom I assume was his wife was masked and wearing a large hat. They must be so proud.
I saw a whole family get in one! The dad looked like he had dreams of being in the military but either got rejected or never tried. The wife looked mostly plastic. And the two boys had what looked like very expensive remote control cars.
I see them almost daily, but have never once seen a passenger
I feel that. I genuinely want to test drive a Cybertruck. I hear they have great performance and turning. The truck itself is ugly, but the unpainted/primer model you see everywhere is especially bad. I’ve seen them in black and they don’t look as bad, but it’s a flat or matte black. As someone who grew up in the 80s, I raged against the curvature of automobiles in the 1990s leading to the 2000s, but the Cybertruck is just too flat. It could use a little bit of curve. It’s cool that it exists, being an electric vehicle and computer powered, it’s a shame the owner of the company is a tyrant and all that. I don’t hate that the Cybertruck exists, but the design team certainly could have let the idea cook a little bit longer.
I would be ashamed to be seen, one, in something that ugly, or to appear to support fascism by driving one. But, I’ve been a nerd for nearly 50 years. Of course I appreciate those aspects of it, and Tesla (and SpaceX), but the realities of it make it a zero-contact name. I couldn’t do it.
