A cybertruck just went up my street. Has one of my neighbors bought one?

There goes the neighborhood!

I see some around town. Weirdly big.  I swear they'd be cooler looking if the back was the front and moved wedge first. It's like they got the Syd Meade influence backwards.

Living in Toronto, Tesla has always had a strong foothold in the city. I also happen to work about two blocks away from their service center. We see a lot of those trucks on the road around here - they never get less ugly.
 
I’ve owned a Model 3 for just over 7 years. It’s been a great vehicle, I wish the company wasn’t run by such an awful human being. He’s also been no help to the resale value. My car has had an “Elon Musk Sucks” bumper sticker for a while.

Saw one for the first time on a trip to NYC last Halloween, which was the right time for such a horror show.

We now have one in Dartmouth. Not a fan! But I know the owner, so I don't want to shit on it too much.

I didn’t think they passed the UK safety standards.
Peter - did they have to get some mods done?

I got really good at flipping them off, but haven't seen one in months. It's possible I made the owners cry so much that their tears caused the vehicles to catch fire.

I wasn't aware of what a cybertruck was until I googled it just now.  I saw one of them in Baton Rouge last week.

There was a joke recently that when Superman looks for a car to throw at a super villain, he always picks the nearest Tesla.

I was in the Bay Area last week and saw three of them in under 60 seconds.  Has to be the Tesla capital of the world.
