of course it is. All the chuds talking about getting this while driving their beatup pickup trucks will be in for a rude awakening.

I doubt they're the ones cooming over this vehicle. Judging by the crowd of fanboys that paid out of their own pocket to attend this release party they are rich techies. And the market for vanity trucks costing over 80k in the US is huge and growing every year. Just in my apartment complex alone, there are now TWO Ram TRXs crowding our small parking lot. That is a $100k 700 hp truck with no practical utility for actual work.

In their defense idk if there's anything chuds love more than going into debt so they can drive a giant useless pickup truck they absolutely do not need.

Spend fucking 90k to walk away with a 4 foot bed that's so deep you can't reach anything un it without climbing into it

It's poetically ironic how much the upper-middle-class will spend all that money just to look like us poors.

From the white-collar suburbanite that calls himself a 'redneck', to the CHUDs with sparkling pickups, I like to refer to them as 'cosplay cowboys'. What's worse is that they're making their LARP somewhat real, look at how much cities, especially walkable cities are rapidly gentrifying, while the wasteful consoomery suburbs that cosplay cowboys prefer are now the closest thing to a place where us poors can live.

So in some sense, suburbs are where both the rich and poor live together for wildly different reasons.
