    I know a guy who bought one, and to prove how much he NEEDS a truck, and how much TRUCKING he does with it, he posts social media updates about all the hard work it does.

    Hard work such as:

    • Picking up a single 50lb bag of dog food
    • moving 5 bags of potting soil
    • taking the dogs to the groomer
    • driving through THE LARGEST PUDDLE I THE KROGER PARKING LOT!!! Come on guys it’s like SIX INCHES! -Hardcore downhill off-roading on extremely rocky terrain (an obviously tilted camera to make the grade seem steeper, on a poorly maintained gravel road)

    I think my 94 Cutlass can do all those at the same time.

    It makes me wonder if he’s making these posts for the tesla PR team to like… Try and get some kind of recognition. Idk it’s always weird and preachy about how great it is, and every single “feature” is something I can already do, or could do with $15 and a trip to an electronics store.

      Well that makes sense because the people who buy this vehicle are not very smart at all.

      You know the saying “think how dumb the average person is, half the population are dumber than that.” Cyber truck buyers are that other half of the population.

        But can it catch fire and trap you inside because you can’t give the manual door release latch?
