I haven't. Luckily, they are illegal here, which is one of the benefits to not live in the US.

Just one of the benefits indeed. It's not even a top ranked benefit but it's still amazing. No one is missing anything by not being in america
What, you don't want to be harassed by the Gestapo while overburdened with medical debt for a basic flu??
Not today, or ever really
Engineers design a car: McLaren F1 road car
MBAs design a car: Tesla Cybertruck
Any further questions?
Imo, the MBAs design is the RAM 1500. Huge profit margin, massive marketing scheme, dogshit engineering, dies exactly when the warranty expires.
Cybertruck is what happens when a ketamine addicted nepo baby ceo high on their own ego designs a car.
Source: Worked as an engineer for auto suppliers for a few years.
Easily mistaken for a dumpster.
Sad raccoon noises.
Seriously, actual problem: raccoons mistake them for dumpsters. It's not just humans being mean to muskrat.
Thats why OP thinks theyve only seen one. They disguise pretty well.
I have a few in my city I see everyday. They are so ugly. Can’t imagine anyone actually thinking they look cool.
People always say that pictures don't evven do that monstrosity justice. I can only imagine
Someone around here has one with a wrap that I could best describe as "blood-tinged feces." Even the ones with basic blue and black wraps look awful.
It goes beyond putting lipstick on a pig. It's putting lipstick on a pig that got hit by a few dump trucks then rolled onto the shoulder a few weeks ago.
First time i saw one, dude threw a fast food bag out the window while driving. I yelled asshole as he went by.
You can make the insecure drivers flip out really easily by doing the “small penis” sign with your fingers and going “pequeño peepee!” Then you can laugh at them getting all mad and then they get even more mad because you aren’t showing them fear.
Luckily we don't have cyberfucks here, but when i see some stupid wank tank i love to point at them and laugh. Especially when the make loud wroomwroom noises to feel manly.
I did it once when one of them pulled out of the gas station i was at, he floored it and wasted like 20l of gas with this cool maneuver. He actually came back and asked me what's so funny. Jave you even seen your car?
It's weird(for me) to see vroomvroom spelled with a w instead of a v.
I think spelling it with a b would also be weird
but these are all accurate depending on where you come from.
alphabets are weird
They are surprisingly monstrous.
I actually seen a lot of functional garbage truck collecting garbage twice a week.
Ohh wait we're talking about Tesla's garbagetruck.
I recently went to Yosemite, and saw several Cybertrucks there. They were so ugly that they made the beautiful nature seem even grander! Thanks, Tesla.
Fr? I have seen so goddamn many. Like over 10 unique cybertrucks. There are 5 ish in my city that I see often and this is not a large city
It's not sold in many countries, I've never seen one.
They're not sold in countries where pedestrian safety is a consideration.
Same
When I see them in traffic I put my thumb out horizontally until I'm sure I have their attention, and then rotate to a thumbs down. Apparently they really hate ancient Roman iconography being used against them.
There are cybertrucks around town. They look like bad eighties sci-fi.
Contrast: good eighties sci-fi.
The worst 80s SciFi had more inspired designs than that
I've never seen the driver, but there's one that parks near my work.
Constantly having to resist the urge to go key it. (too close to work, I may even be seen on works cameras. I need this job) One parking lot further away and I'd go chuck a can of self-etching paint/primer on it.
I'm pretty sure it would scratch if you just stared at it hard enough.
Why spend excess money on that. Tomatoes lemons vinegar salt all do the job and there's no need to do anything other than raid your pantry or just get rid of questionable quality food
I have a dealership where I live. They look like such garbage. I am not a fan of the aesthetic or the mechanics of it. It sucks all the way around.
there are a couple in my neighborhood i've been thinking about giving some paint job modifications.
