It's been my experience that F-150 owners are arrogant, southern-fried buttholes, but anyone who owns a Cybertruck is probably worse, just by merit of being associated with Elon Musk.

Lots of people drive Tesla, I’m not gonna judge them for Musk.

But if this turns into another oversized seppo tank on our roads I’ll blame them for buying it.

I drive a Tesla and Elon can suck Dick, but the actual people that make the car have done a good job for what I've gotten.

Don't know much about the truck though really

It is a reality that Teslas were the best affordable EV you could get for a long time.

Now that the IONIQ is below it in price, maybe we can be a bit judgier for new vehicle purchases.... but even still, that is remarkably few affordable EVs available to the typical consumer and there still are some reasonable reasons to pick a Tesla. Unfortunately, that is mostly their charger network, which is the lightning cable of chargers trying to pretend that a totally superior ISO charger isn't better for consumers in every way.
