I'm indifferent to it, but the amount of people who give a shit is hilarious to me. If it goes 500+ miles, requires no paint and is cheaper than other electric trucks, it's a win in my book. So weird how people use vehicles as an extension of who they are. It's a fucking truck. Have you seen the competition? Tundras, F150, Sierra, and Silverado all look like ass.

They do all look like utter shit. But the cybertruck looks like single-digit iq shit, the other ones are at least closer to the center of the bell curve, even if they have tribal tattoos, goatees, and listen to the home depot guitar riff on repeat.
