I thought 'expensive to drive' would have given away it wasn't a cybertruck, since the only good part about those things is that it's an EV and probably doesn't cost much to charge. I might not agree with your decision to drive a huge vehicle, but I'm not gonna call anyone an idiot for doing it.

It's also generally good form to not make spelling errors (realise) in a comment calling someone else stupid...

Please tell me the comment about the spelling mistake is some kind of weird humour (sic)

It is mostly tounge in cheek, but they did misspell realize in their comment and later edited it to correct it.

I mean if you're gonna call someone else stupid, but you misspell it you're kinda putting your foot in your own mouth no?

Size is relative. Here's my "huge" truck parked next to an American one.
