Speaking as an American, we're not buying these either

Edit to add: wow that finish looks like shit with just a small amount of road grime on it

You're literally the only ones buying them. They aren't even legal in developed countries

I don't think they're road legal in the EU.

Idk how the CT even got approved in the US on account of the lack of crumple zones. Itโ€™s probably one of the deadliest trucks ever made.

Look how badly the fitment is at that corner near the window and hood. That's waaay off.

Every time I see a Cybertruck, I start getting intrusive thoughts about sharp things under fingernails.

I think I remember a quote from Elon, something like: โ€žThere in no one correctly on earth who knows more about manufacturing than meโ€œ

Iโ€™m the best at it, many people are saying it. Top people, smart people, high IQ people.

Wow he and Trump really are two cheeks of the same arse: one old and senile and the other drug addled and insane.

I just saw a thing where BYD is offering a basic EV for 10k USD in China.

Got a BYD Dolphin in UK, itโ€™s been perfect so far after a year. They are bringing a super cheap one here too, I hope it does well and keeps taking funds out of Elons pocket.

I hope it does well and helps us quit burning so much carbon. But ya fuck musk too!
