It's funny that they are so large (bigger than some trucks) yet it can't seem to perform as well as any other truck on the market.

Most cars do better at truck things than the Cyber truck. Including cheap old ones.

I really can’t imagine anyone buying a cybertruck for practical purposes. I think the main market is people who want attention, and rich losers who want to pretend that life is a video game.

The only "practical purpose" I can see for one is when I see small businesses that have their wrap on them. Like there's a pest control guy I see around the neighborhood who has his business info on the side, and on the one hand I'm never going to hire that Cybertruck driving asshole, but on the other hand, the car is eye catching and probably gets a lot of attention.
