    Owning a cybertruck is an indication the driver is a Nazi. It was always an indicator of very poor taste, but now it marks you as a Nazi. Don’t bother trying to change my mind. I know it, my cat knows it, the mould in that tupperware I keep putting off opening in the far reaches of my fridge knows it.

    No excuses now, and no bumper stickers will dissuade me. It’s been long enough, sell the thing or start sieg heiling.

      Very early on, I think there were some well-meaning people who were really excited about it. The idea of an all-electric truck was brand new, and the promise was huge. It unfortunately wasn’t until after many Cybertruck preorders had been secured that Elon plainly revealed his true colors, and then after it was delivered that people found out it was a piece of garbage

        Idk, the first cyber trucks delivered nov 30 2023.

        His takeover of Twitter was 2022, with plenty of bright red flags The “pedo guy” thing was 2019 All of his COVID violations were extremely public in 2020 and 2021

        I think you’d have to be living under a rock to be completely unaware of what he was by the time preorders were locked in

          It’s just a convenient loophole for fascists to pretend they’re not fascists.

          “Oh no I gave them a fully refundable $100 to pre-order it, guess I’m locked into giving this seig heiling, election interfering, pedophilic elite illegal immigrant $100k.”

          There’s a bunch of defenders in this very thread.

        They couldn’t tell from the look of the thing? When he first unveiled it, I thought it he was trying to make some sort of joke. Legitimately thought he was trying to prank people! The design is atrocious!

        Yeah, true. But we’re like several years past that now. If you could afford one of those sins against the design gods, you could afford to take the L by now.

          Janky can be great if not ‘designed’ by and supporting Nazis.

    Sadly this doesn’t hold true for red states. I’ve seen multiple people putting their children at risk by ferrying them around in a vehicle that makes the Ford Pinto look safe.
