Oh, that explains things. Because I figured electric was heresy in Alberta but was surprised to not see them in Montreal , especially leading up to Grand Prix where all the add holes come out to play.
same like LA county has to have the highest percentage of them on the roads in the country followed by SD, SF, Austin and maybe Seattle but there still have be 800-1k of them distributed around the rest of the country and i guess what im saying is they should be targeted for *******
We saw one for the first time yesterday. It was kind of shocking. They are butt ugly. I don’t understand how it’s a “truck.”
We were exiting the highway so I couldn’t get a photo as it passed in the far left lane.
I haven't seen any in the Boston area yet, perhaps because everyone here knows that a truck you can't get wet isn't going to survive a New England winter.
But I'm sure someone around here was foolish enough.
If I have learned anything in this extremely online life, it is to never underestimate how willfully moronic and lacking in self-awareness people can be.
Oh you and I both know that it is a guarantee some Cybertruck owner if going to scream bloody murder into a 911 call demanding they send the FBI out to pull fingerprints off their truck.
And they will be laughed off the phone by the operator.
Makes me really wonder about the guy who bought one and by the time he took ownership he was divorced and the truck didn't fit in his tiny apartment parking spot
Living in Silicon Valley, which is their natural habitat, I've probably seen at least a dozen different ones. One with a gold tint wrap, one with a black wrap, one in green, one with a cross-hood racing stripe.
What's funny is that you need their permission to resell them, so you're pretty much stuck wearing the Albatross of Dipshittery around your neck for quite a while
I’ve only seen one so far and funny enough someone earlier that week told me about seeing the exact same one (assuming based on location). That loser is the talk of the town (and probably unpleasant)
I had one drive past and it really does have that "wow this is an unimaginable amount of stupid" but it really is exciting to see a special kind of dipshit on display, and like in Pittsburgh too...
Our local incel tank is owned by an owner of multiple weed stores. I don't know if they are good weed stores, so "weed store" isn't shade. Maybe he only gets the best stuff. But the low res Tonka ain't the best stuff.
I was in Austin last month and not only did I see one in the wild (in a record store parking lot), I also saw 5 of them being hauled on a car carrier up I-35
Come to Marin...can't move for the stupid hunks of crap. They look like that to make them cheap btw - low cost tooling, cheap crappy fake metal pedals... All bling, zero substance. Pretty much like the Musk himself.
People in the Phoenix AZ area are actually pointing and laughing at the few cybertrucks around. I've seen a steel one and one finished in red. Both dorky AF in bad way.
I have a betting pool at work, guessing the first asshole to buy one.
Billy's about to slash his tires in the parking lot when I reach down to stay his blade, saying gently "not this one, Billy. Driving it in public is punishment enough."
before you had to look for the guy in the immaculately clean oversized truck with the immaculate bedliner and a expensive as shit gunrack that has never hauled anything
I’ve seen like 6 so far (3 I know for sure we’re different people), so it’s been a wild experience for me. It’s like my shiny Pokémon odds are up or something
I have to avoid the Tesla dealership because several are on the lot and I cackle hysterically on sight, which isn't great for my driving. Exposure does not desensitize one. They're horrid.
I saw one for the first time last weekend, and we get around a fair bit of western Massachusetts, Albany-area NY, CT and Southern VT, so the biggest dipshit in a quad-state area, I guess.
I have only seen one in lower Fairfield County CT, which is strange because this is one of the nations' leading regions for ridiculous and ostentatious displays of wealth.
I tried googling for current numbers, and I am amused to see someone hype it by comparing sales totals with a Hummer EV, which I did not even know existed.
I've seen two in the wild: one with the logo for a dumpster rental company (a little on the nose) and one with a black wrap (an improvement) with subtle stickers announcing that it's available to rent (so, a novelty car)
I have now seen 2, in my very small city: an original unpainted, and the other day a matte black one. Thats a lot of junky nonsense for my town. I was surprised to see any. Quite a lot of Teslas, however, maybe thats the gateway to buying the goofy “truck.”
I passed a 'goobertruck' on I-270 in STL last week and couldn't stop laughing at the idiot behind the wheel clearly faking a head-banging moment. Party on Idiot. Way to blow perfectly good cash on the least useful "truck" ever.
We’ve all seen countless pictures of this revolting vehicle, but nothing will prepare you for the violent spasm of laughter that comes from the very bottom of your diaphragm when you see one in person for the first time.
Even here in Silicon Valley, with prob the most cybertrucks per capita, sightings still engender a Big Dipshit observation. Heck, at my daughter's K-8, a cybertruck rolling thru the drop off line spurred mockery among the 8th graders (they learn from the best).
Went to an EV event last weekend and saw like seven of them. Shocked they even managed to park in their designated spots. I bet at the end of the weekend they struggled to turn on and leave, though.
i see one basically every time I go to santa monica and its funny watching the ripples of laughter that erupt from people on the street every time one drives by. theyre truly some of the ugliest monstrosities ever to hit to consumer car market and everyone knows it
There are so many ugly cars from the past that are now kind of adorable curiosites. Like the PT Cruiser, Plymouth Prowler, multiple Isuzus. The Cybertruck will be a forever stupid car. Like the Yugo or the Chevy SSR
"here's my cool cyberpunk future vehicle" brother you look like you bought sheet metal from the junkyard and welded together a gimmick car for this weekend's destruction derby
It’s so obnoxious because it’s supposedly the result of Elon’s kid asking him “why doesn’t the future look like the future?” & instead of an actual intelligent response he went “dduuurr you’re right kiddo lots make one specific 80s version of the future real ignoring that it’s dystopian”
The future looks plenty futuristic on the electric and even non EV vehicle landscape if you’re looking at Cadillac or Kia, to make the first two that spring to mind. The cars are also not dangerous poorly made pieces of shit
They look like what would happen if someone with zero relevant skills went all in on a DIY Back to the Future Doc Brown cosplay and sacrificed their Dodge Aries to make a DeLorean ...
I'm in the same area, there's definitely one that drives around the city and county, and I laugh every time I see it in person without fail. Painting it another color only makes it funnier
Also LA based, I’ve seen the one that toots around Studio City, and unfortunately my next door Neighbor has one. At least he stopped parking it outside of our house.
I saw a family getting into one up in Santa Barbara and the dad looked so satisfied with himself and all his kids looked bummed out. Hard to say if it was because of the cybertruck or both were symptoms of the same problem.
I live in the truck part of LA County -- think lifted F250s -- and haven't seen a damn one. I think there is a meaning there but damned if I know what.
The Cybertruck in Santa Cruz was recently vandalized (someone decided to test the bulletproof glass) which makes it look even more sad. Plus I confirmed recently that it’s about the same length as my truck while having half the cargo space.

we have a few special village idiots around these parts
hell i still might
It should be our mission in life to touch every single cybertruck we encounter.
Just hundreds of greasy handprints every time that park somewhere.
And they will be laughed off the phone by the operator.
much to consider
They never look any better.
Looked cool, but should be nowhere near public roads.

I wonder if they’re friends.
Now they have a Town Guy Who Bought A Cybertruck.
I was stopped at a traffic light when one drove across and I just laughed and thought, "Ha-ha! DUMBASS!"
Only problem with that is I live in a red state's capital city. So that probably wasn't the town's BIGGEST dipshit.
Also one of them had been done up in a camo wrap, so like, double douchery

- Cybertruck tagline
Literally thousands of dumpsters lined up next to the highway, it was surreal
I think a fuck ton is bigger than a crap ton by the way
/bunches tightly into nearest corner
The number of normal teslas here tho is startling. And I feel like none of them can fucking DRIVE
daily >.<
