    Ugh, we’re still at this? Folks that claim to have their eyes melt out of their face every time they see a Cybertruck sure spend a lot of time posting pictures of them online.

    I see about 100 of these hurr-durr cybertruk dum posts for every one I see out on the road. Funny that 99% of the Cybertruck I see is coming from the “haters”.

      I envy your location that you don’t see as many as I do. They are appalling in person. They don’t seem real.

      A family member was somewhat interested and complimented the bold design… Then he saw it in person and no longer has anything good to say.

        I liked it in pictures, honestly thought it was really cool and didn’t want to admit it.

        But then I finally saw one this summer up close and personal and it’s just really bad. Like bad bad. Like they had tons of ways they could have made this sharper box design good, and they didn’t try.

        I see plenty of them around here on the road, but I also see endless regurgitating of this shit online. I kinda get it what it’s boomers on Facebook, but I expect the Lemmy crowd to get tired of the same joke after seeing it the nth time. Guess I place too much confidence in you all.

        The worst fate a car that begs for attention can suffer is fading to obscurity. Why keep giving Elon all the attention and engagement he wants? Ignore the stupid thing.

      You’ve never seen one in person have you? You’ve never read the seemingly endless laundry list of issues they have, have you?

      I have, and the Cybertruck is just as terrible, ugly, and ridiculously expensive as they say. The ongoing memes are to educate people why they shouldn’t even consider buying them, and to get a sad chuckle at the fools that actually did buy them.

        Dude talking like he’s never even heard of Schadenfreude… Not only is it cathartic, but it’s educational if you pay attention to what people are making fun of.

        What to learn from the cybertruck? That billionares are fucking morons and that the meritocracy is a lie. They, in fact, do not deserve their wealth. Any of them, but especially not Elongated Muskrat.

        I also don’t care for the cybertruck but “educating” people on forums is a weird thing to do.

          Lol, coming from a whole gaggle who can’t stop but breathlessly “educating” others why the Cybertruck is terrible.

          I’m on your side, it’s fucking horrendous. But Jesus, it was clearly designed to grab attention. Why keep giving Elon what he wants?

        As the saying goes, “the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference.”

        Elon/Tesla designed this truck to be controversial, to generate discussion, and engagement. The best way to disengage from exactly what this thing was designed to do is not to meme about it, it’s to ignore it completely.

      The more I see these posts the more I think this was the strategy. They figured it doesn’t matter how dumb or ugly it is, in fact, that’s a good thing because it draws so much attention. I don’t see many on the road but man it sure is fucking noticeable when I do.
