I own a cybertruck and completely love it. It’s wacky and fun and it gives me all the tech I wanted, plus I can use it like a truck when needed. I actually think it’s opposite, once people drive it they realize it’s really compelling. It does have some minor build issues that are fixed for free under warranty. Then again so does my gmc.

Minor build issues? They had a total recall. Fixed for free? Yes, if you can wait weeks for the fix.

Also while I’m getting down voted by a bunch of folks that have never driven one… Supervised FSD is getting very very good. I use it most days to drive and very rarely have to disengage. It is significantly better than the other driver assistance systems that I’ve driven. It’s come a long way

> Supervised FSD is getting very very good.

But that is not what we are talking about here, are we? We are talking about bad engineering and manufacturing.

It is like you are saying my girlfriend is great in bed but being blind to the fact that she is stealing all your money.

As good as FSD is now, he definitely oversold it for years.

Insert catastrophic failure

It's certainly unique in that it gets less towing capacity than an F-350 for double the price.

When I actually see Cybertruck used to tow something - it will be noteworthy because I never seen it yet.

Serious question: are you bothered by Elon's behavior?

[adamgamble]

I think two things are true, the government needs to cut expenses drastically and also that Elon should spend way more time at Tesla and spacex.

I didn’t buy my truck because of Elon, I bought it because I needed a truck and all the other truck manufacturers are completely brain dead when it comes to software.

I definitely wish Elon would shut up often, but he’s clearly not a nazi. That’s all nonsense.

His work at doge has been underwhelming so far, I had higher hopes. But it seems like most would rather have the status quo of major deficit spending and debt. Overall I would prefer drastic reduction in spending and waste with an actual plan and less chaos.

None of what Elon does makes me regret my car purchase. Why in the world would I make a personal decision like a car based on some billionaire I’ll never meet? I didn’t buy the truck as any kind of virtue signal. I bought it because I like it despite how dumb and crazy it looks.
