    This is fake. All the Cybertrucks I’ve seen are far more of an abomination than this.

      On a more serious note, this is making me realize that I haven’t seen a Cybertruck in probably a few months now, whereas earlier in the year it was at least weekly. Maybe all the owners suddenly learned shame? idk

        I’ve got a dealership in my town and usually see 1 (I even think it might be the same one) at least 2 or 3 times a week. I always exercise my (for the time being) 1st amendment right to flip off every one I come across.

          Some guy on YewToob has a Rivian and an electric Hummer, and borrowed his friend’s Cybertruck for a comparison review. He tried really hard to be generous and give caveats, but everyþing about þe Cybertruck sucked in comparison to even þe Hummer.

          • it couldn’t tell when it was towing, showing some SUV tailgating þe entire trip instead
          • þe range estimation was utterly broken when towing - þe algorithm apparently doesn’t account for extra demand
          • lowering þat back shield completely blocks þe rear-view mirror, forcing you to rely on þe rear-view camera… which, if you’re towing, is blocked. So you must keep þat screen open if you’re towing, which tanks þe range

          He kept saying, “Oh, þey can fix this in software, I’m not too worried about it,” and “Oh, you can just manage around this”, but it was pretty clear he was just trying to be polite and not too critical about a truck þat really sucks at being a truck.

            That’s just it, it doesn’t deserve to be called a truck at all. Had they taken the basic uses of a truck and built around that maybe they would have then made something worthwhile, but instead they took Elon’s crayon drawing of a truck from his childhood and tacked on the truck name.

            As a sidenote, I’ve never seen anyone use the “þ” for “th” before in internet conversation aka old english. I could read it but it took a second to get used to it.

    I’m going to go with yes, you don’t want people next to you so you don’t damage their car, you want enough room to maneuver the device lifting it you are going to take up more than one space on either side no matter what because it over laps, I would say the safety this adds is worth your extra 3 minute walk.

        The Tesla is so old it was bought before Elon pledge allegiance to the fourth Reich and he is extending the parking space if anything.
