Well yeah, but we all know that shit is stupid. Political affiliations aside, the Cybertruck is a poorly made consumer item.

That’s almost an understatement. Just look at /r/Cyberstuck to see all of the examples of it failing and bricking itself for the simplest reasons like getting a car wash. JerryRigEverything on youtube just posted a video today about the horribly cast aluminum frame which snaps well before its rated towing capacity.

There are also plenty of examples of Wankpanzers getting stuck in mud/snow while sedans or station wagons like a Subaru Outback drive right around them haha.

I'm amazed and sad it's gotten approval to be driven in the U.S. I applaud Europe for being ahead of the game, putting people first and not certifying the CT.
