I Don’t Know Why Women Keep Laughing at Me When I’m Out Driving my Tesla Cybertruck
A Tesla Cybertruck owner says there is a concerted effort to publicly shame people who drive the all-electric truck. He recounts several instances where people pointed and laughed at him while driving his Cybertruck.
I realized she was laughing derisively. She was like, “What kind of person would drive something like that?” Or, “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.”
Granted, she could have been having a weird reaction to a stroke or something, but I’m pretty sure I saw what I saw. Then today, I was at a four-way stop, and a guy in a Nissan Titan/Toyota Tundra or something smiled and then chuckled like: “What a tool.” Or, who would drive something like that?”
Mate, these thoughts are in your head. My partner has bouts of anxiety where she assumes people are always thinking the worst of her, so I'm hesitant to make fun of the dude because I've seen what it can do to someone, but he's clearly bought a dumbass car to get attention and now he's feeling insecure about it. It's sad.
I'm leaning towards the poster being a troll.
That is way too self aware to be a cybertruck owner.
It's both in this case though. People are pretty outspoken in how ridiculous that thing is, and he knows it too.
He knows it and he did it intentionally, but the people laughing at him are his imagination. He's projected these thoughts onto them because he feels self-conscious, nobody said a word to him. It's just as likely the woman was laughing because she's on the phone, or the man was smirking at something on a podcast he's got playing.
Edit: Will you people stop telling me you laugh at Cybertrucks. I don't care, that's not the point.
That's fair that it's mainly in the head of the person in the story.
That being said my partner and I actively point, laugh, and make fun of any cyberturds we see on the road very obviously. I'm sure we aren't the only ones.
But this is really what people are thinking, not just in his head. I've chuckled to myself when I see these things, and they definitely are noticed by everyone so someone straight laughing upon seeing one is not out of the ordinary.
I thought this was satire.
Your truck is stupid looking and poorly built, and you paid way too much for it.
I can sympathize with the people who bought their trucks unaware that it was going to be a piece of shit, or unfamiliar with Musk in general. But I have to believe that's a small minority, and a lot of them should have returned their trucks for a refund by now.
If you're driving it to make eco-conscious decisions, there are better options out there.
If you like the features and design, there are better options out there.
If you're driving it as a status symbol, or because you're a Musk fanboy, you deserve ridicule.
But you should also know that the ultimate flex is not giving a fuck what other people think. Own your place in the world, and be the person you want to be. Ignore the haters, no matter how ridiculous you look.
cybertruck buyers:
also cybertruck buyers: "y r evyone laughing at meeeeeeeee"
it’s because of elon’s very public desire to destroy democracy, his flouting of our laws, his ruining of twitter, his hatred for certain people and love of pushing lies and paranoia, and other such nonsense. blame elon. he’s made driving a tesla go from “wow, awesome” to “omg, you support that azzhole?” in a few short years. it’s a shame.
That, and it's a stupid looking truck and gets laughed at because of how dumb it is. I know I'd be laughing if I ever saw one irl
The low polygonal design is definitely not for everyone. However, this still doesn't explain why the vehicle triggers people so much.
It's more than enough. You spent north of $100,000 on something that looks like a child's drawing of a car. This isn't a real thinker - you will be mocked.

Every time I see one of these, however, I have tons of respect for the people buying them
I do still avoid them though lol
I saw my first one on the road a few days ago. Somehow it looked even more stupid in person than it did in the videos and photos. It's poorly built, ugly, and waaay over-priced.
I actually cringed out loud for the person who bought it because they thought it looked cool. Buying one of these things is the latest sign of a cavalcade of poor life choices.
I've actually seen a couple of them on the highway and I laughed both times. It's just like "Haha! No way!" like if you ran into Carrot Top at Subway
Lol yes in person the production cyber truck is hilarious, like a clown car almost. I think the production version is significantly smaller than the prototype they paraded around to get pre-orders.
Not just women, homie. Not just women.
The few comments on that "article" are either poorly written or stuff like "just blow the doors off them at the next light". Typical macho bullshit that they think impress people.
I always talk shit about these vehicles when I see them. I’d like to point and laugh, but the sort of people who worship muskrat are already unhinged.
Lifestyles of the Rich and Stupid
I understand that Musk is on the wrong side of the line for many people, including myself. But the desire to cancel is so hard for me to understand.
That dude's face when he realizes that nobody is making fun of the Model 3 or S and correctly concludes that it is indeed the weirdest fucking thing off an assembly line in history
My 8 year old thinks they look cool. She also thinks that scrolling through youtube videos is peak comedy.
I mean, the cybertruck could be interesting... if it wasn't hilariously expensive, and clouded my Elon Musk. Look at James May's amusing take, which sets that aside:

I, uh, appreciate that they took a risk with the styling instead of making it so samey like every other car on the market, even iif it didn't work out super well. It has some neat features. But I don't feel a ton of sympathy for people being shamed for driving one, as it's always been rather hypocritical, even before Musk really jumped into the deep end.
Right? It's definitely something different and I can't fault people for liking the look. The problem is the rest of the thing is also a poorly designed death trap from the ground up.
🤣
This is hilarious!
As someone who likes the aesthetic of the cybertruck; it annoys me that Elon has made such an ass of himself that it is effectively a non-option for serious people.
It is like the bastard child of a lamborghini countach and a delorean; but in a good way.
Preemptively; taste is subjective and personal. If you don't like the look of it, cool that is for you. I think it looks awesome; but Elon is a fuckup and it is way too expensive.
Even if you like the look and elon was a great guy, you still bought a super expensive way too big car that is absolute garbage.
It is too big for NZ roads, I think it is to expensive, but people buy supercars.... So the value proposition is also subjective.
At for build quality.... Early reports are not that encouraging.
I'll never own one, so it doesn't really effect me.
There's nothing concerted about it. I point and laugh at anybody wearing a four-wheeled prosthetic penis.
its because it looks ridiculous and can't even do truck stuff (ahem frame snapping in half when towing)
Because you have a small dick
The one part that's a little bit messed up is that most people driving the cyber truck right now ordered it way back before Musk started his election interference and turning Twitter into a 4Chan styled financial black hole.
It's easy to forget that, in the public eye, Musk once stood for eliminating petroleum dependence and science-based futurism. What a sad turn when the mask came fully off.
We have known he was a blowhard lying crapsack for years prior to the cybertruck preorders.
Elon didn't stand for anything except making money. Maybe the founders of Tesla did, but he just did the marketing.

The only messed up part about that is that people "preordered" an overpriced, dumpsteresque, rolling mid-life crisis and then hung on to their reservation in the ensuing time either without following any of the news (including what a disaster the cybertruck was) or following it and going ahead with the $100k instant regret purchase anyway.
Anyone dumb enough to consider the idea of spending house-loads of money on this stainless steel prep table and then going through with it years later deserves every bit of ridicule they receive.
But they did order it after seeing what it would look like. Back then, I was still pretty excited about Tesla, right up until that thing showed up on stage. You could see it on everyones faces at the event, "is this actually what they went with? Some kind of prank? Is there still time for this to get a major overhaul, or is it locked in?" Basically, everyone had the same facial expression as they would have if the big reveal was that a toilet was brought on stage and Elon was about to poop in front of them. Can argue, he kinda did.

The $100 preorder was refundable. They could have pulled out at any time.
