    People can be shitty, but I still find it amusing that it’s so ugly and stupid it provokes people into a rage.

      I think it’s because it costs an obscene amount while being something only a moron would buy. So when someone who is struggling to make ends meet sees that an absolute moron has so much cash that they can blow it on something this dumb, they get angry. It’s not fair that they work hard just to make ends meet while some failson has $100k to blow on a dumb car. At least a Maserati, Porsche, or Ferrari of similar price looks cool.

      I find all these comically oversized pickups obnoxious.

      The cybertruck is just the latest, most obnoxious model to date.

      Isn’t that the goal of owning a machine like that? You are trying to provoke a reaction. The car I own was the single most commonly sold sedan the year it was made. I don’t want people reacting to me, noticing me, etc. I want to be another person in the crowd.

      If you take a shit in front of a camera you can’t really be upset that people are commenting on it.

      I don’t think it’s the car per se that angers people but the idiocy of lemmings who are destroying the world by supporting people like Trump and Musk and Nick Fuentes. And by buying a Tesla car, that’s what you do, you enable Elon Musk to keep on destroying the world.
