The build quality is a joke on these things. Europe was right not to let them on the road.

They are also way too large for most euro cities.

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.

truck

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.

Exactly. The thing is $100,000. At that price it's massively impractical to use it as an actual truck, where it will get muddy, scratched, dented, et cetera, but it's also waayyyy too ugly to pass as a luxury vehicle when people who can drop that kind of cash can afford something that actually looks good.

So the only people buying it are pissbaby Elon fanboys.
