    This thing is huge, it does 0-60 in under 3 seconds, has sharp angles, and its styling does not seem to target the sensible end of the market… It’s like an industrial strength pedestrian destroyer.

      I shudder to think what one of those cybertrucks would do if it tried to plow through a crowd of protesters.

        Probably about the same thing as any other vehicle.

        Jesus are we really gonna pretend this is the first vehicle that would obliterate a pedestrian in a collision?

      It’s actually a pussy-magnet.

      Even the pasty-facediest of incels will have no problems getting laid showing up in one of these bad boys.

      It’s just how the world works 🤷

        I hear it has preprogrammed wait times for replying to text messages from females based on the redpill algorithm.

          Comon… sarcasm is not always obvious… but his comment was sarcasm. It has to be. I choose to believe it is.

        I would like to hear from the women of Lemmy- how many of you would have sex with a man just because they drove a Cybertruck?
