He laments people laughing at him, and likens his purchase of the cybertruck to that of the Toyota Prius. Unfortunately, what he fails to consider, is that the Prius is an economy car. You can make fun of a crappy car, but that mockery ends before it affects the owner, because the majority of us understand that buying a car is more of a financial matter, rather than one of taste. i.e. most of us buy the car we can afford, not necessarily the car we want.
That goes out the window when you take into consideration the cybertrucks price tag. If it was an economy electric car (like the Prius), we would poke fun at the vehicles design and that would be it. But this is a bloated, over-priced, unreliable, gimmick truck; whose only purpose is to serve as an ego-boost to one of the richest, dumbest men on the planet. The man that got bullied into buying and abruptly tanking one of the largest social media companies in the world. The same man jumping around like a pick-me dipshit at a fascist rally for a convicted felon, bankrupt businessman, convicted rapist, and self-described sex-pest.
People can laugh at not just the cybertruck, but also the owner; because paying what amounts to a third of a fucking house so you can fanboy a man sure to go down as one of histories most public dumb-asses, makes you ripe for ridicule (and deservedly so).
well said, kudos
“I drive the equivalent of a 2024 Yugo that is laughably poor quality sold by a huckster and I paid enough to buy 4 reasonable cars. It’s the most gaudy design of any car ever produced since the dawn of time. Why would people laugh at me?”
How many women own cybertrucks???
We don’t need to compensate for dick size.
“Stupidity” would be the answer to both why he bought a cybertruck and why he wonders why people are laughing about his choice.
Ok @Charly™, did ya farm enough internet points? That site is a bigger pile of dogshit than the truck thing.
Granted, she could have been having a weird reaction to a stroke or something,
Bless your heart
Man, I sure wish cybertrucks had been around to deflect when I spent 7 years driving a Fiat Panda.
James May? Is that you?
This person needs to get help. I doubt more than one or two women are laughing at him, if there is anyone laughing at all.
Who has time to do this while driving?
As others mentioned, it does look kinda ridiculous in person. Driving home Sunday with my sister we saw one, pointed and both laughed/chuckled to each other. I wasn’t looking at the driver so dunno if they noticed, but if they were looking at our faces as we passed they might have been able to notice, and it was just a natural reaction, not meant to have the owner notice in an effort to mock or anything.
I live in the Bay Area and there are like 5 of them in my small, rural town, so I see them daily. I laugh every time. As silly as they look in photos, it’s just so much sillier in real life. Especially out in the county where I live.
I’ve pointed and laughed at a couple of Cybertrucks. It’s hard to really capture how funny they look in motion in person. That feeling of “this was drawn by a kindergardener” hit me so much harder the first couple times I saw a real one moving.
My partner and I make a point of pointing and laughing at every single cyber truck and owner we see
if we see one parked we like to walk by it to see if it’s true we can run down the battery by making its security system record us.
you cant pick up chicks in a cyber truck
Not true. It would be a huge turn off to pick me up in any gasoline powered truck. An electric truck would be the only type of truck I’d be down to get picked up in
Personally, I like trucks that have passed crash tests with good ratings.
I believe a Rivian R1T is literally your only choice. No other truck has good ratings across the board, that includes gas trucks.
nah I drive a 1967 chevy c10. It passes all the crash tests by breaking the wall.
He chooses what to drive. If he likes it, that’s his right. It’s also right of the others not to like it and find it ridiculous. There is no objective reason to drive a Cybertruck except to show off. Well, it backfired for him.
I have a song I sing whenever I see a Cybertruck. It’s sung in a low, gravelly, MANLY voice. The lyrics go like this:
Cybertruck! I’m a douchbag with too much mon-eey. Cyberbruck! I’m a fan-boy making bad decisions! My mon-eey makes me cool. Look at me compensating! etc…etc
Does anyone remember how, back in the early 2000s, some people would take picture of their hand flipping off a Hummer they saw on the street? I’m getting a similar vibe.
I hate to say this: the Hummer is actually more practical.
He says “a female”, then “a guy”.
No wonder they’re laughing. This guy’s a joke.
Anytime they say female, but don’t specify the species, you get to pick.
…he’s talking about two different drivers.
…oh boy. I’m guessing you call women females if you missed that one.
We are all aware. The terminology used for the two different drivers is the problem. You don’t call a woman a female, that’s insulting. He had no problem to call a guy a guy, no “male” or such. It makes him sound like a misogynistic asshole.
Oh, gotcha.

Because the front face of the car looks like it’s exasperated by itself.

Life. Don’t talk to me about life.
Simple solution. Move to a town that isn’t fully of pretentious haters. You could always live around normal people. But some towns are cursed with these kinds of people.
People who hate shitty unsafe cars?
He claims he’d never mock a Prius while in the same sentence posting about how much he hates the Prius, and then doesn’t think it’s fair to be mocked for driving a certain vehicle.
To break this Möbius strip logic: Blame someone else.
His point is that it’s fine to hate certain cars but that you still shouldn’t mock the people driving them. I think that’s kind of a dumb line to draw, but it’s not hypocritical or inconsistent.
I am going to judge people by their actions.
Right, but saying “I hate the Prius” is not mockery.
To be fair, I don’t care for either the CyberTruck or the Prius.
But yes, there is a lot of social backlash against owners of the Cyber Truck. But it just ain’t “females”. It’s all of us laughing at you.
