    Wow, that Cybertruck is holding up great! Looks like the flames were limited to the front quarter, and the seats haven’t rusted through the base of the car, yet. That’s better than most!

      It was always, shall we say, polarizing, but the production version managed to nudge every iffy design note in the concept car in the wrong direction. It ends up looking less Mass Effect and more like a Pontiac Aztek in DeLorean cosplay.

      Hah! First one I was over near Holt off I-10. Honestly, it seemed pretty cool, guy had some low-key black graphics on it. But after seeing the fail-train these things are, they can’t look cool to me anymore.

      Also, I’m practical with my purchases, or try to be. I have a beat up 2004 F150 that actually runs, can get wet and hauls 5x what a Cybertruck can. I get buying stuff for the cool factor, but what’s the use case here?!

    For those of you that can not see it immediately, look more carefully at the dripping at the top of the tire, the deformation at the middle of the side skirt trim, and the darkness on the inside of the glass, not to mention the view inside the broken glass.

      They drove it over the curb, through a fence, across a golf course, and into the water hazard by the 12th hole.

      Nah I’m just kidding. It just hit a speed bump at 15 mph in a light rain.

    I’ve seen them maybe 10 times so far, though some of them were probably the same one again since it was during my commute.

    That’s in pretty decent shape, actually. The metal is usually more rusted, especially if they tried to wash it in a car wash.

    Tow driver: Damn this thing looks like it went through the Iraq war.

    Owner: I’ve had it for three weeks.

    I hate this truck as much as the next guy but, isn’t this what any and every car looks like after a fire?
