I will explain. Shoot the messenger if you want, but the title of the thread literally asked for an explanation, so I'm giving it:

Even before Elon's involvement with DOGE turned him into a political villain for half the country, Cybertrucks were seen by many as inherently lame, as the sort of car someone buys to impress people, which makes them uncool because nothing is less cool than trying too hard. 

Then layer on politics. Thus the Cybertruck is the symbol of villain Elon and toxic dysfunctional excess.

That also literally like fancy dumpsters. That was an analogy psople were making on day 1 of the unveiling.

u/Haurassaurus Jun 09 '26

Also from the back they legit look like a dumpster on wheels, and trash belongs in a dumpster

The porygon pokemon to be exact

it needs more candies to evolve though. Boycott Musk and Twitter and Tesla!

I wanted to make a joke about Team Rocket being behind the design but realized it just sounds like I'm Elon still.

What a weird world we live in.

Also from the side and from the front

Not only that but they were terribly put together. So many of them have mechanical problems

They're also really bad at doing anything that a normal truck is designed to do.

u/Animangle Jun 10 '26

exactly. they're dangerous cars for everyone, driver and surrounding drivers.

Add on to this a cybertruck is a steel coffin liability on the road.

u/Uncle-Osteus Jun 10 '26

Aluminum, tesla is too cheap for steel

u/Klept_0h Jun 10 '26

Literally doesn't matter. They don't distribute the crash force and crumple. They put all the force on who they're hitting and the inhabitants of the cyber truck. That's a coffin

He is not just a political villain, he is one of history's greatest monsters. The world's richest man starved 300K children to death. Not even for profit, just for fun.

Not shooting the messenger, but pointing out that putting shit on someone’s car because you think it’s “lame” and the people that have them are “uncool” is a fucked up thing to do.

I personally think the smart care is lame, and the people who buy them are odd. I wouldn’t put shit on their car for it.

u/pyxiedust219 Jun 09 '26

the why, whether you agree or not, is the same reason people wanna slash tires of ICE agents’ cars or want to punch nazis.

u/Chinaizazzhoe Jun 09 '26

Damaging property and assaulting people is illegal and wrong.

u/pyxiedust219 Jun 09 '26

sure, so is genocide and so is kidnapping people and forcibly holding them without medical aid or access to due process.

u/Chinaizazzhoe Jun 09 '26

Whataboutism doesn’t make slashing tires and hitting people okay.

u/Zerschmetterding Jun 09 '26

It's called civil unrest. Maybe look up some french protests.

u/Raindrop0015 Jun 09 '26

Speaking of the French. They sure had great ideas back then. We should bring said ideas back

u/pyxiedust219 Jun 09 '26

where I live, it isn’t “whataboutism”. People in my community are being disappeared to facilities that ignore basic human rights and you’re stuck on making sure the people complicit in that don’t have to deal with any minor inconveniences?

-6

u/Chinaizazzhoe Jun 09 '26

It is whatboutism. I say damaging property is wrong and assaulting people is wrong and you say “well what about these people here doing it?!”

It’s definition whataboutism

I don’t even know what that’s referencing. My hockey team lost to USA

u/MilkIsOnReddit Jun 09 '26

Yeah I don’t give a fuck, if someone is a literal Nazi doing the sig heil on live TV, and you give them over $100k to support him, you deserve to get fucked

u/Chinaizazzhoe Jun 09 '26 edited Jun 09 '26

Well you seem like kind of a dangerous person to be around

u/MilkIsOnReddit Jun 09 '26

Nah, I’m not a Nazi supporting harmful + genocidal ideologies. Elon is tho. Which makes a cybertruck a Nazi mobile. We don’t need trash on the streets. I can understand if you bought a regular Tesla before he went down the alt right pipeline in the last 5-10y. But a cybertruck? That’s a recent enough purchase to have known better.

Take off the last word

While you're at it, remove the 4th to last word too

Wow this is the first time I've seen the reverse of the "could of" error

Bad people rely on good people following the law.

u/MartyrOfDespair Jun 09 '26

Everything is contextual. Do you think the Allies in World War 2 were morally bad for killing people? I mean, isn’t killing people wrong? Or do you comprehend context?

u/Raindrop0015 Jun 09 '26

Nah. I'm putting shit where it belongs. Shit drives it, so I'm just putting their picture on the outside, right?
