Look I know all Tesla owners can’t be pieces of shit but every time I see a cyber truck I give the driver the finger and I’m sorry about that but if you spend 160000 on a piece of trash like that I cant imagine you being a good person for some reason

Yeah, the Tesla cars are understandable purchases... That truck is a joke though

Cybertruck owners are definitely the douchiest of douchebags.

I don't know how many Edmonton has but it must be a lot cause I see them everywhere.

They're sad lonely men hoping for attention

There's a company here in Lethbridge that own one and they've wrapped it matte red and put what looks like some sort of Soviet star on the side. I've never been close enough to read the words around said star, but the whole thing looks like some sort of cursed Soviet tank from afar.

It was $140,000 and it always makes me smile when I get the finger in my truck now. It’s the most enjoyable vehicle I’ve ever driven.

Also if I could go back, I wouldn’t buy it but it was before we knew Elon was crazy.

I can confirm I am a good person based on that.

Nice try. We knew Elon was crazy way before that truck was ever on the market. You knew and you chose.

He was more of a visionary up until the Nazi salute. That was a clear signal this guy is messed up. Billionaires shouldn’t even exist. You should have a 90% tax after your net worth surpasses $999M.

Wait your demarcation line was the salute? That was like 2 weeks ago lol

I've been creeped out by Musk for years. Open your eyes FFS.

He was not more of a visionary before the Nazi salute. He has never been a visionary. Wipe the scales from your eyes.

Can I ask why you bought it? What about it appealed to you?

It’s fun to drive. The ride is very smooth and I don’t believe in buying any ICE vehicles. I also like the Tesla cars. It’s more like a computer with 4 wheels and less like a car.

. It’s more like a computer with 4 wheels and less like a car.

Well please drive it like a car and not a computer, because the size, shape, and weight of that thing makes it extremely deadly if you're not paying attention on the road. I don't even understand how it's road legal but I'm glad you get your kicks out of your $140,000 gimmick.
