    The one person I know who owns a cyber truck was upset when I didn't call him when I had a truck needing emergency, my wife's car had broken down on a freeway offramp. The people that own these stupid things are cos playing as truck people even moreso than the average truck owner. The weirder part of his upsetness is, I was already driving a 3/4 truck because my commuter vehicle was not running. All I had to do was go get a uhaul trailer and go get her car. My mind is still boggled that he threw a fit about not calling him.

    LOL. I have a truck for towing and other truck-related things and am quite happy to help others with aforementioned truck activities when asked. The amount of times I get upset when people don't call me to do truck things is like, hmmmm let's see....zero. It is zero times. A shrug is all I might manage to evoke from the drama.

      Have they tried suing people who don't want to buy one?

          I think they do/will make a lot of sense. Being able to drive to a job site and run your welder or other tools from the truck's battery seems like a game changer for certain applications. The Chevy Silverado EV and the F-150 Lightning seem pretty nice to me. They'll both be much more appealing once battery tech, charging speed, and charging infrastructure improve. I'm pretty stoked about this new company called Telo, I hope they make it. It's a pretty small truck with an 8' bed that's about as long as a Mini Cooper, plus it has the solar tech from Aptera.

          I think a generator for that purpose would likely make a lot more sense. I can't see buying an electric truck just so you can use its battery to weld. Maybe that's a nice to have at best.

            They should force the government use cybertrucks for employe transportation just like Elon did with X and NTSB

            That might be the biggest harbinger of whether musk or Trump is running things. Trump has banned fed government from buying EV.

              I will hand it to Tesla, iterating on the Cybertruck design must have been really fast.

                Some may call this a bug, but I'd argue this is it's best feature

                  It’s a solid real world filter.

                  This is definitely more acceptable than “no social media” being a red flag. Got that one before lol

                  No social media is a green flag IMO.

                      Yeah, a generator would be a great option for most people, I imagine.

                          It was the weirdest shit. He doesn't know anything about towing or hauling. His cybertruck is the first truck like vehicle he has ever owned and for some reason his ego tells him he's qualified to help. Its probably his total lack of experience that caused his upset.

                          To redeem him a bit he is incredibly willing to help people. He's just got more money than brains and experience lol.

                            Innocent people are being killed. Not really something to celebrate.

                                Yah, I was about to mention ego being very much involved in all of this from the purchase of the "truck" to feeling spurned by not being asked to help. My ego would be hard-pressed to avoid educating him. Politely, of course.
