Cybertruck Deliveries Halted Due To Car Being A Big Piece Of Shit That Doesn't Work | Defector
defector.com
Tesla, a future case study for securities law classes across America, had to stop delivering Cybertrucks this past weekend. No, not because the hundred-thousand–dollar medium-duty pickup, which is only any of those things in the loosest interpretive sense, tends to brick when it gets rained on; nor because its stainless steel panels get all rusty […]

        No. I just block sites from ever appearing again if they force you to create an account or if it is behind s pay wall.

    As the Bay Area is both a nexus for world-class goobers and the region where Tesla used to be and kinda-sorta still is headquartered, I have seen a lot of Cybertrucks out in the wild over the past few months. They are remarkably fake- and shitty-looking in any context (Is that a big toaster with wi-fi next to me at the exit? Who’s driving the scrap metal assemblage with Bryan Colangelo-esque proportions? Why does every Cybertruck driver I glance at appear to be simultaneously peacocking for attention but also totally embarrassed, haunted by the unexamined knowledge that as a maneuver in a culture war they paid $100,000 for a car that doesn’t work?)

      I saw two of them this weekend. One of them was painted a bright, bright green, which managed to make it even uglier. When we were driving on the freeway next to the first one, my first thought was it looked like a vehicle from one of those cheap 70s or 80s sci-fi movies where they make some “futuristic” car by putting a shell on a regular car and you can tell that the suspension wasn’t modified to handle it, so it drives like shit and looks stupid.
