Please be satire.

I'm so sad that I'm even having to question that it's not.

No one is this much of a chode gargler.... Surely....

When you repress your homosexuality, it sure does come out in weird ways. /S. Or not.

Rereads Tesla’s mission statement.

“Accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy.”

Stares at 3 ton lump of stainless steel parked in driveway.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 2 months ago (14 children)

As a machinist and welder, I would strongly prefer an actual 6000 lb lump of stainless over a cybertruck. I can actually use stainless steel to make things.

Owned by a man that is trying to elect Donald Trump, who is famously opposed to renewable energy.

"the mission" being what, exactly? make a rich jerkoff richer, so he can lie to you about exciting inventions that never come to light?

[–] RedditWanderer 62 points 2 months ago

The copium is strong

Let's not forget everyone is already paying for "the mission" through tax payer subsidies.

Loyalty to Tesla what the actual fuck? Don't be loyal to a brand ever.

I had the displeasure of seeing one of these contraptions in person for the first time recently. Pictures do not adequately convey just how ugly these abominations are.

[–] JJROKCZ 60 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I live in a major city in America so sadly see them daily.. I’d say around 70% have a custom vinyl wrap or are painted instead of being left stainless steel tho.

One store near my work is a retro games shop, they bought one and wrapped it in their colors/logo and I think it’s funny since my wife often says the truck looks like Laura Croft’s tits

I saw one for the first time on the road today. The thing made me bust out laughing. It looks absurd.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I live in California and see maybe 20 every day. It never gets old laughing at them. Had a customer yesterday who owned one as well as a model s. The S was in his garage but not his toy truck. He was a douche so I fucked with him.

"How do you like your truck?"

"Love it, it's so sick bro"

"How come you don't park it in your garage with your car? Will it not fit?"

"No, it just barely fits, but I like having it outside so people see it."

"Aren't you worried about people fucking with it or it rusting? Heard they rust easily"

"Where did you hear that? This baby is stainless steel!"

"Literally everywhere on the internet, that's why so many people get it wrapped apparently. Also, have you taken it in for any of the recalls?"

"It hasn't had any recalls bro, this thing is perfect"

"Hmm. I heard it had like 5 recalls already, you should look into it."

"That's just haters taking shit dude it isn't true."

"Yeah, you're prolly right. This thing gets a lot of hate from like everyone for being ridiculous and impractical, but Elon musk made it so it must be awesome."

"Bro literally invented spaceships dude he's a legit genius."

"Pretty sure he didn't invent them. He just owns the company."

He proceeded to explain that he may not have made the first one but he'll be the first to get man to Mars and spaceships weren't cool until he made them that way. He used the truck as evidence of his genius and how he will be humanities savior. I was fucking speechless honestly. The only thing genius about this is he cornered the fucking enormous douchebag market so well they gaslight themselves into believing that we're all jealous and or too poor to understand. I spray for bugs for a living. This guy got water sprayed on his property and I don't feel even remotely bad about it.

I didn't realize how big they were until one of my kids ran over to "the fortnite truck". Massive, ugly, and expensive.

Even after reading this the Cybertruck is still the dumbest thing in this photo.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Imo, exploiting dumb people is pretty smart! Unethical but clever

"I'm leaving, Jeremy."

"OK but before you go can you take one more picture of me with the Tesla® Cybertruck™? I don't think I looked sad enough in the last one about all those dollars that people aren't giving to Elon."

[–] [email protected] 64 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is 100% engagement bait.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

With how some of those Muskrats are, I'm honestly not sure about that.

Everytime I see a cybertruck, It makes me think of the "Fighting Polygon Team" from Super Smash Brothers N64. Each polygon character is a essentially a weaker knockoff of an actual character from the game. I haven't played that game in years but I seem to remember it was my least favorite level from single player mode.

[–] Duamerthrax 60 points 2 months ago (2 children)

This is cult follower speaking patterns.

[–] cmbabul 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

All of these people from Muskrats to Trumpers are all looking for simple answers and solutions to how fucked up our world is from whoever will give it to them.

They want to be in a cult ever if they don’t realize it because then they have an authority to make all the decisions for them

It’s hard to admit you’re wrong when you’re in a cult.

I refuse to believe this is real.

Mostly for self protection.

[–] MaxPow3r11 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

THIS is why people say you're in a cult.

Is this the legendary free market when you must buy cybertruck or mElon will be sad?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Every time I see one of these trying to find a parking space at the grocery store I feel vicarious shame for the driver. Truly, the scarlet letter of the 21st Century.

this is yet another example of a second generation billionaire thinking that all the ideas that his brain produces must be phenomenal.

Probably a bag holder who bought Tesla stock at the peak.

Definitely did NOT perform analingus on the dirty butthole of Elon Musk.
