I'm dismayed by car reviewers that cover the Tesla and make a passing comment on how they don't support Musk.

Like James May did a Tesla review saying, "I didn't buy it to support Elon Musk."

That's like being a T shirt reviewer, buying a T shirt from a Hitler Youth website, and then saying, "I don't support Nazis. I bought this T shirt to support the garment workers and graphic artists who created the T shirt."

    RCRs did a review of a viewer's Cybertruck. No comment on the owner or why a viewer of RCR would own one, but tried giving a neutral review. He liked the all wheel steering, but otherwise, said he never drove a car before that felt like it actively hated the driver.

    I don't know about Jame May, but I know Jeremy Clarkson is a Man Made Climate Change denier, previously being a regular Climate Change denier. I wouldn't be surprised if May's only issue with Musk is the EVs and bad optics. Wait, never mind. May knows when something's up, but doesn't have the spine to speak up.

    but tried giving a neutral review.

    The issue isn't giving it a neutral review. All reviews, if they aren't shills, give neutral reviews.

    The issue is that James May bought that car with his own money. He said it's his daily driver which is an endorsement even though he has nitpicks.

    So he literally handed money to Elon Musk and then had the audacity to say he wasn't supporting Musk.

    Clarkson hasn't been a climate change denier since 2019. But he still says individual change is useless.

    Yes, I remember when it happened, but Clarkson only started to believe in Climate Change when it affected his vacation. He's very sad it happening, but wont accept he was part of the problem or take any action. He's still a shit.

    This would actually make sense if it was two cyber trucks.

    There are a lot of different Tesla.

    The least you could have done, is mention that it is a cyber truck.

    The company is owned by the same guy, regardless of which model you buy. Purchasing a tesla is a choice to further line the pockets of an already obscenely-wealthy technofascist who is actively trying to dismantle democracy and human rights around the globe.

    Don't need to pretend, overused joke. Call me nuts, but the Cybertruck looks pretty cool to me. My only critique about it is the road safety.

    My daughter loves them. There's a pink one that we sometimes see and she goes nuts over it (and, mind, we never did the whole "pink is for girls" thing--she just LOVES pink). So I can't outright call them ugly because I love my kid.

    I'm convinced that it looks better in every color but standard. Also the front isn't too bad. Neither is the profile. But all angles of the rear of the truck are big, boxy, just not good looking (in my opinion). But I'm willing to say that I appreciate someone being willing to produce a vehicle that maintains the concept look and actually tries to look different. There's a lot wrong with the CyberTruck; the exterior design is probably about the least of it.
