    Quick summary: AHAHAHAHAAH it's going to corrode from the inside out because they didn't clear or treat the stainless steel with anything. Holy hell. What a scam.

    Ummm it says this for their MY too in the owners manual, and probably my 3, he’ll probably all of their vehicles. Just like any other vehicle…why leave that shit on there? It’ll eat through the paint. This isn’t news

    I have often wondered why anyone would even want one of these CyberTrucks even if and when they will be available. The thing is UGLY and has no business being called a truck. I personally do not care about electric vehicles no matter who the manufacturer is. It seems that many people are on this EV bandwagon and I just don't get it. No matter what vehicle you drive it is going to cost you money whether it's Gasoline or Electricity. Where I live in Northwest PA, I am really surprised how many more Tesla's are on the roads compared to just a few years ago. They look nice, but I am still not sold on Electric. I will always own a Tundra, and have no intentions of purchasing a EV.

    I want a CyberTruck because it pisses off people that share your opinion. But it’s not just that truck, I wouldn’t mind a current model F150 Crew cab with the 5.0 that is slammed with twin turbos. It’s the fact that the “masses” will tell you “it’s not a truck” or “why would you lower a 4wd truck”. 1. Because it isn’t the same as everyone else. And 2. The thing you can’t stand just walked all over you.




    But, I’ll let you have the W out on the trails. I don’t have time to go out there anymore so I’m not worried about that.

    But I hope you enjoy your Tundra. I had two of them and they were both great. Now I enjoy my MYP.

    A twin turboed 4wd f150 5.0 would be fun as hell.

    But the cybertruck is still ugly.

    Performance, tech, low maintenance, low cost of ownership. If the range can work for someone, what's not to love??

    The VP of Tesla supposedly lives in the town over from us and I keep seeing his ugly ass Cybertruck.

    We were driving home from Austin last night and my wife said "What the hell is that behind us?!" It looked like two headlights and a unibrow.

    There’s one in the neighborhood behind us and I see it often. It’s even worse in person.

    All seriousness aside, I wonder what size tree it could push down?

    I was not a fan of the looks of CT, but it grew on me. I said the same about 2.5 gen tundra, but it grew on me. 3rd gen? Not so much..yet

    Yeah, I kinda figured the commercial was exaggerated. But still shockingly close. Marketing wise it was very well made and funny.

    Stop light to stop light. Pretty normal street race.

    Also, let’s pit Porsche Taycan to Tesla cheese wedge.

    Doesn’t matter. Chicks still dig Porsche Taycan over the triangle.

    This place is starting to sound like the beginning of this video.

    Well now it’s official I NEED a CyberTruck.

    And to be clear the only thing I’m hauling is ass, and the only load I’m towing is all those hurt feelings.
