I never understood this weird hate boner that Reddit and Lemmy users have for cybertrucks specifically. It can’t be a moral position because they’re fine with regular Teslas, just not this one. It also can’t be about the ugly design because they’re fine with other ugly cars. The thing is that I’ve seen a few of these out in the wild, and they’re almost always driven either by Indian tech bros or white finance bros. I’ve never seen any right wing types drive these like so many people here seem to think. In fact, the right wing types have this weird vendetta against all electric cars and they intentionally go for the gas guzzling pickup trucks. Which this hate boner even more baffling. It’s like people are mad for the sake of it.

Cybertruck has quite a lot of issues. It will for an example never be approved safetywise in Europe

It’s a truck that isn’t even waterproof. What a stupid machine.

People don’t hate on other Tesla vehicles as much because there is plausible deniability of the being naughty before Elon when mask off Nazi. The cyber truck was announced after he gave everyone good reason to not support him. The design is not only ugly, it’s also dangerous, hard to maintain and repair, (and I believe the repair work must be done by Tesla mechanics) and very distinct. Other ugly cars are ugly yes, but they aren’t nearly as eye catching as the mobile refrigerators. Indian tech bros and white finance bros can be right wing too. Yeah many right wingers hate electric vehicles. Which highlights why it was such a bad idea for Elon to be so openly a Nazi. He pissed off the people that want electric vehicles, and sided with people that hate them.
