    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.

    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.

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

          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.

                          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.
