  • Unpopular opinion - I like the look & the idea of the Cybertruck. I think it’s a cool looking vehicle. I like the design and the concept of an edgy light-duty electric pickup truck.

    I’d never buy one - they’re too expensive, have way too many issues, and Musk is a fucking chode. But I take issue with people who call it “ugly.”

    Personally, I think most “traditional” pickup trucks are ugly. The F150, Ram, Silverado? Those are at the very best - boring. They’re definitely not attractive. At least the Cybertruck is a fresh concept for a pickup.

    I recently bought a Hyundai Ioniq 5. It shares a couple design elements of the Cybertruck- simple polygons, angular, sharp edges. Obviously not nearly as extreme, but if a more reliable & less shithead-led company released a wildly / surreally designed vehicle similar to the Cybertruck, I’d consider it.

    “Fire it at the Tesla in front of me…” The animosity toward Tesla owners (or Prius or any other EV/Hybrid owner) is stupid. Why hate them?

    Because the CEO of Tesla is a massive bastard? That’s not their fault. They may not have even known what a fuckhead he was when they bought it, nor should his behavior influence their car ownership. Plenty of good people work for Tesla too.

    Or because they don’t support the gas/oil industry? That’s moronic. As much of a shit goblin Musk is, he holds no candle to the collective evil of the fossil fuel lobby.

    Don’t hate someone for their taste in consumer goods. They’re just trying to get through life, same as you.

    Now, if you wanna launch that snow drift at a “coal rolling” diesel pickup truck who is intentionally destroying the environment, that’s a different thing altogether.
