I have managed so far to go without seeing an Apple Vision Pro or a Cybertruck in the flesh even once.

four months after launch I can tell the apple goggles lived up to their tech revolution hype because I have not seen anyone mention them in any context whatsoever for the last three months

I've seen three cyber trucks and the last one was fully wrapped in some company logo, good call covering that piece of shit before it rusts.

stevierea.bsky.social•317 days ago

The impressiveness of this accomplishment varies greatly according to location. If you’re in the Bay Area, I assume you’re basically a wizard!

mtsw.bsky.social•317 days ago

San Diego. There's reportedly a bunch here I just have missed them so far!

vcolavin.com•317 days ago

i've seen two so far 😩 but who's to say they were actually different trucks

warrenterra.bsky.social•317 days ago

I was in Palo Alto last weekend and didn't see one! If there's anyplace you'll see one, that's it, surely?

(though I did see one on I5 driving up there. I think.)

fooeynet.bsky.social•317 days ago

I've seen one in Seattle, and every time I make a big show of pointing and laughing.

duaadiddy.bsky.social•317 days ago

Not with that attitude Michael

ahavw.bsky.social•317 days ago

Saw my first Cybertruck yesterday. The owner had it painted blue.

readbooker.bsky.social•317 days ago

I saw one drive by recently. Everyone stared. As an F150 owner, why did they name it “truck?” And doesn’t “cyber” imply it only exists online?

astrocat.bsky.social•317 days ago

Yes, the name is just, very silly and weirdly childish. And 'cyber' as a prefix hasn't been culturally relevant since about 2006

himbeau.bsky.social•317 days ago

Jealous

miamibeach.bsky.social•317 days ago

A cyber truck drove in front of my building in Miami Beach for the first time last week. Only seen the Vision Pro on TV.

same, we are blessed

catherineboyle1.bsky.social•317 days ago

Since I live in the Bay Area, I have seen too many cyber trucks in person. At first I would point and laugh but now I just try to stay clear of them so they don't accidentally accelerate into me!

catherineboyle1.bsky.social•317 days ago

But even near PA I haven't seen any of those stupid glasses

setecastronomy.bsky.social•317 days ago

I just saw my first cybertruck. I think the driver saw how much I was laughing.

el1zab3th.bsky.social•317 days ago

Shame, flipping off a cybertruck felt really good

justmicah.bsky.social•317 days ago

There’s cybertrucks all over La Jolla and Irvine, they look even more silly and preposterously threatening in person

crystalpepsi.bsky.social•317 days ago

Saw my first cybertruck on Monday. Gave him a big thumbs down and shouted “NERRRRD!” at it as it drove by. It is bulky and boxy and even uglier than you think.

danm44.bsky.social•317 days ago

Me, too. But also, I'm not looking for them.

seaghano.bsky.social•317 days ago

Techbros be building sh1t nobody wants or needs.

schroedinger.bsky.social•316 days ago

The truck is even stupider in person, none of the pictures of it properly convey how big it is.

rincewind.run•317 days ago

I haven't seen the Vision Pro at all but I hope your Cybertruck luck changes, they are deeply hilarious in person

wafflecut.bsky.social•317 days ago

We drove by one the other day and my six year old, who had never seen or heard of them, went “Hooohhh!”

Honestly I love seeing them. Making a car that wacky looking is the only good thing about Musk.

wafflecut.bsky.social•317 days ago

He asked me some cybertruck questions and after I answered them, he said “only Mr. Beast can have that car.” Which, maybe he’s not far off.

(Hilariously, among the kindergarten crowd, Mr. Beast is the undisputed richest person in the world.)

mtsw.bsky.social•317 days ago

There's apparently one here in San Diego that's painted like electric blue which makes it sound even stupider and more hideous than the base stainless steel does

newmexicoman.bsky.social•317 days ago

I passed one on the expressway in Tampa. It was painted orange over black. It looked like this, but with wheels, and stupider.

dreadpiratezed.bsky.social•317 days ago

I saw a shiny black one in the Valley the other day that's either a really good wrap or an aftermarket enamel job.
Still looks silly as hell.

coffeeaddict.bsky.social•317 days ago

Some Tesla employees drive them around in Houston. Saw 2 and both were being driven by Tesla employees

myfisttoe.bsky.social•317 days ago

It is almost certainly wrapped. I've seen four in the wild in the Tampa Bay area, and two of them were wrapped.

coachfinstock.bsky.social•317 days ago

Maybe the electric blue paint will stop the rust

justmicah.bsky.social•317 days ago

I saw one painted white, which struck me as an ironically practical choice for a hilariously impractical car.

jammerjim.bsky.social•317 days ago

I saw a white today too. It managed to look a lot less ridiculous than the unpainted version.

madfall.bsky.social•317 days ago

I work near a Tesla dealer so I've seen a couple. They are indeed hilarious, and someone here is doing resprays too.

rincewind.run•317 days ago

los angeles is tesla central so I've seen a good handful at this point and it has yet to stop being funny

ghostgirl.net•317 days ago

It’s strange, I live in an area where we’re lousy with electric cars and I haven’t seen a single one. I see Rivians and the Lucid Air nearly everyday now, though. Also 4564256&55 Teslas but they all blend together since they only come in like 3 colors.

blingthecat.bsky.social•317 days ago

I’ve had numerous Lyft rides in Teslas. Maybe people driving to help finance their purchase?

henryhill1.bsky.social•317 days ago

It's chilling to see that Tech has so misjudged what people want and need so badly, and then delivered such complete shit to the market. Maybe just going back to the rationale of building affordable dependable utilitarian products will get a resurgence.

nanoprof.bsky.social•317 days ago

well then I guess you need the AVP cybercybertruck experience

tyler.britten.us•317 days ago

I haven’t seen an incel Camino in person yet but some early 60s dude popped on Vision Pros on a flight next to me and it was weird as hell
