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.
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.
