Can we just say that Cybertruck is basically a sum of everything wrong with right wing wackos?

"Look at me, I'm a badass, driving around in a badass vehicle, unlike you filthy libruls. ... Aww shucks! There's road salt! And my accelerator pedal just fell off wtf. ...OH NO! A LITTLE WATER TOO! Anything but that!"

Oh no, WATER, how did they know it was one of my many, many weaknesses!

I haven't seen Maddox in years! That was a memory trip.

You couldn't have predicted that with such a large amount of the planet being covered in it. /s

I'm amused that liberals bash Tesla for being a conservative virtue signaler by extension of Elon, while conservatives bash Tesla for being an EV virtue signal for liberal tree huggers.

And this, right here, is why Tesla's stock price is down 50% from its all time high.

The craziest thing is it was already overvalued, Elon got "forced" into selling at peak, and then tanked the company he bought with it too. Just unreal clown behavior.

It's still massively overvalued now. Just compare their market cap to any other major car manufacturer.
