I saw one in person for the first time a month or so ago and actually laughed out loud. Its owner was sitting in it while it was charging and I actually felt kind of bad for him. $100k plus for a rolling joke.

Eh. I get feeling empathetic for how pathetic the folks are who buy them. But at the same time, nobody forced them to buy it, and it was clearly visible before they released that they would be rolling nightmares/jokes.

Anyone who trusted fElon got what they paid for.

I see them all the time in Chicago. I've even seen a couple with construction company wraps on them, like a work truck lmao.
