I actually don't hate the cypbertruck...

I know I'm in the minority... But I really hate boring gray cars and this thing is definitely not boring!

Fuck Elon and all his fucking bullshit, but let's imagine a world where he loses everything, now I know it's difficult but try imagine this scenario through your perfectly natural erection at the though of musk going broke (perfectly natural response). But imagine he's flat broke, tesla goes under, fire sale on everything... Would you buy one for 10k? ... How about 5k?

How low would the price have to go for you to buy one? ...for whatever reason, even if it won't get publicly registration for road use etc.

    Even if you like the non boring appearance, the quality of the build is, to my understanding, terrible. Sharp edges on the steel, unevenly aligned everything, corrosion, the giant wiper gets too much stress and fails, etc.

    Don't forget random panels popping off during operation. Cringey "skins" applied to functional parts with shiity adhesive instead of bolts/rivets (e.g. the gas pedal cover that would fall off and jam the accelerator on), bricked by car wash unless deliberately triggering "car wash mode", hidden or no emergency release for door locks sealing people into burning/submerged vehicles, truck that can't tow, bed that can't fit common items like a bike or dimensional lumber, perpetually ugly rust/hand oil stained panels, no magic unbreakable panels/glass, less range delivered than advertised, multiple features disabled by snow, improper safety sensors to detect occlusions leading to the finger chop/pinch incidents, cheap vibrating interior and fake auto pilot that constantly tries to kill passengers and pedestrians. And of course giving car makers cover to follow the dangerous, shitty tablet based Interior and attempt to end physical, no-look controls in moving motor vehicles.

    And that's just top of mind from inside this hellish firehose to the face of disappointing information that we live in everyday.

    At least those 63 actual humans that purchased one clearly identify as the worst people in their communities with these malfunctioning $100,000 vape pens on wheels.

    You'd have to pay me to take one now, even with the warranty and a service arm that presumably exists. After the company is defunct? That's the heaviest piece of ewaste ever made.

    It doesn't matter how cheap I can get one, because A) it is incredibly ugly and shouts to everyone around you that you have incredibly bad taste, and B) because it is a poorly designed piece of junk that breaks just by being in the car wash. Why would I want something that is both expensive to fix AND breaks easily?
