I finally saw one in real life. On the highway. It's shocking how aggressively dumb they look in person. Photos don't do it justice. It seriously looks like a giant unrendered N64... thing.
I was walking to the grocery store when I saw a neighbour polishing his in front of his house. I said "Wow, a Cybertruck," and he replied, "Cool, isn't it?"
I said, "No, it's a $120,000 go-kart made of scrap metal that will rust in a month."
Edit: sounds fake but I do have a picture of the car in question, but I took it on a different day—
That neighbor? Albert Einstein.
Why would I make up the number 1 most common interaction between a Cybertruck owner and a normal person?
But here's a picture I took of his car while he was attending church (across the street from the grocery store):
And yes, you can tell it is new because it doesn't have a number plate yet.
The picture was taken on 30 March, the interaction happened a few days earlier
No one's questioning that you saw a Cybertruck, just that you actually said those things to the owner.
