    No social media is a green flag IMO.

        This is more akin to forums of old and less like your facebooks, snaps, etc

          Imagine a cyber truck bro listening to Joe Rogan in that thing. How does that not make every woman in sight instantly aroused?? /s

                  Not even Hitler would buy one. He's got too much self-respect than to associate with Elon.

                      I'm assuming the electric f150 has greater than 1 wheel drive?

                      Which vehicles have that? The base cybertruck has two motors for AWD.

                          The target audience is monied tech bro millenials who really wanted a warthog out of Halo.

                          The problem is that the overlap between tech bros and nazi lovers is definitely not 100%, probably not even 10%.

                          If they wanted a Warthog, they should have gotten a Jeep.

                          Or built one. There are at least three fully functioning Warthogs out there, I think. I've seen the one at Weta.

                            You hit the nail on the head. If it can't tow it's pretty useless as a truck. If someone doesnt tow they probably dont need a truck in the first place otherwise they are better off with a gas model. The unfortunate thing is that regulations have forced manufacturers to implement shitty ICE drivetrains. Everything is a turbo now which is "more efficient" but there is no way they will last as long as the naturally aspirated V6 or V8s that would go for 400-500k miles.

                            Even most work trucks aren't towing very often. Even on job sites, most of the towed equipment is either brought in the first day and stays there (though with minor relocations) or it's brought in by the rental company, with their own vehicles.

                              Have they tried pulling out the "Make a vehicle that's not a massive and shitty death trap," or "Boot the Nazi from the company" stops? Because, I suspect doing those two might help it out.

                              The myth of Elon is still going strong. Now he's taking over government agencies. Not that it's the right move but keeping him on might keep the stock at the insanely overvalued level it's at. That's all that matters.

                                Which is mind boggling, as the Lightning seems like a good, attractive vehicle, while the cybertruck seems like a pile of shit

                                The Lightning has also been out for a few years now, so it's not the "new" thing. Also, I feel like half of those cYbErTrUcK purchases were people trying to resell them.

                                  Does that mean Canada and Mexico will be sued if the tariffs don't make them beg to be annexed?

                                  Trump lifted the tariffs. At this point I think it was just a smoke screen so there would be less coverage of Elon taking over the Treasury.

                                    Regular F150s have single wheel drive.

                                      It's an Ute, like the old El Camino etc.

                                      Real pickups have body-on-frame construction with cabs and beds bolted onto the chassis separately, so that the bed can be removed and replaced with a specialized/custom one if necessary.

                                      Calling it a ute implies some degree of utility.

                                        As and when announced, it would have been one of the cheapest EVs. I’m not interested in a truck, but that announced price and done of the technology they promised, were very tempting. However now we see how preorders based on just an announcement are risky

                                        Exactly, they were taking reservations at the $40k price for a really long time. I was looking to buy an EV in 2021 and at that price, it was significantly cheaper than anything being sold. I laughed at how fucking ugly the thing was, but it was so cheap that I didn't hesitate to put down a reservation.

                                        Then when it was released, it was like $100k. Ain't no way am I paying that for that piece of shit. And in the meantime, Elon went full on Nazi. I could kind of ignore his dumbfuckery back in 2021 but not now.

                                          Both can be true. I’m reducing my usage of the REALLY BAD social media and trying to make THIS social media better.
