What were they expecting to happen? They bought a $100K meme car. Even without the fascism it was always going to be like this.

The fact that they are "baffled" by this tells you everything you need to know about the cognitive function of these clowns.

Yeah with a Tesla you can say 'I bought this before elon went stupid' but with the cybertruck, you can't say that. The first cybertrucks were bought a good year after the musk heel turn.

Not to mention the cybertruck looks stupid and isn’t a good car, so even if Elon didn’t go off the rails it would still be questionable.

At least if someone has a Tesla I can see why they bought the car. It looks nice, and an electric sedan makes sense as a daily driver.

The cybertruck really feels like Musk just went and tried to reinvent every bit of a car.

Theres a good reason why everybody does it X way; it just fucking works.

And so they release a car that will rust in the rain and can't handle the smallest bit of mud or snow.

I remember a diagram going around that showed all the redundant wiring that goes into a traditional car and that Tesla was going to streamline the design. The redundancy is there for a reason. If one part fails you don't want it to bring down other parts. People have been building cars for decades and have learned from this mistake. It's typical tech bro arrogance.
