“The cop inside is going to be safe no matter what, they'll stop bullets” is a sentence carrying weight that would buckle an actual Cybertruck

I’ve been trying to figure out who this reminds me of all morning, and it finally clicked:

Imagining the first officer trapped like our urn-enthusiast from Mountain Brook. “Goddamnit!” (Said in that accent that is truly high art)

“Uh, yeah, you have to remember that we ordered them *before* someone blew one of them up just off the strip” was pretty good too.

Back in my day, the monorail salesman had to at least do a rousing song and dance number before the rubes would bite

Picturing a rusted out police cybertruck that's abandoned in front of the Bellagio fountain.

“Tremendous recruitment tool” is also hilarious.

If I was gifted 10 cybertrucks I'd probably try to find some use for them. If you fill the beds with sand they're probably ok as roadblocks?

Any departments test that hypothesis yet?

"They'll be safe inside because they're too embarrassed to step out of the car" is kind of a genius thought, though

I'm sure the caliber of recruits brought in by a fleet of swastikars will be just awesome and not entirely white and racist AF.

We live in Austin and have a number of these in the neighborhood. They’re huge and the blind spots are enormous. I’ve taught my kids that they are kid killers and they have to run into the grass when they see them so they’ll be safe. Cops driving cars I call kid killers is a little too on the nose.

Every time you read a story about a Cybertruck getting into a fender bender with a Honda Civic, it always reads: The Civic was totalled, driver unhurt, Cybertruck driver has two broken legs and his clavicle is now dust, because no crumple zones"

Yeah

A big tell that the only reference the computer photographer has is clearly Mad Max and had to add shit to the truck to make it seem hardy
