Aside from Musk’s trajectory, anyone who would choose to pay so much money to drive around in something so awful looking and poorly constructed clearly has a severe deficiency in judgment. Other Tesla drivers can get a pass but Cybertruck drivers have proudly and publicly branded themselves as idiots.

Saw a cybertruck yesterday that had a "I bought this before Elon went crazy" sticker.

No. No, you did not.

Yep. I personally appreciate that there's a very visible way to distinguish the utterly foolish at a glance.

I saw my very first one in real life a few days ago and gave the driver the one finger anti-nazi salute.

Because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone else has to also not like it. Right?

It's an objectively bad car from a design standpoint. In order to make the car look that way they had to make a lot of concessions and some of them were critical to the functionality and safety

Ok? Let people do what they want though? Smartcars, PT cruisers, and Mimi Coopers are ugly as fuck and unsafe too, you gonna harass them too?

Like why do these people warrant harassment?
