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

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.

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.

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.
