I saw a CyberTruck on the road yesterday

It looks like it belongs on the front line in the Ukraine

Except it is smaller than expected in person and it is sweet. Brutalist architecture is the anti sweet.

I didn’t find it that way. Smaller, I mean - when I first encountered CT’s in the wild, they were much larger in person than I expected.

No comment on whether they’re “sweet” or not. And I have a soft spot for brutalist architecture after being lotteried into the only brutalist dorm in my college, back in the day.

They cannot be sold in Europe because they have no pedestrian safety qualities. Indeed the flat sheet metal will slice and dice pedestrians:

So to sum up the video, it’s dumb, and ugly, and its mother dresses it funny while it is running with scissors.

Europeans aren’t that fond of pickup trucks. So it’s a reasonable choice to skip that market.

They have very high demand in the US and cannot make enough. I believe they are still selling the foundation series.

Sandy Munro had a good definition for the CyberTruck, It’s not a work truck but great for the sportsman. Call it a SUV on steroids.

General Motors is the villain behind the Hummer, but all three U.S. automakers are to blame for flooding the marketplace with terrorist-friendly sport utility vehicles.

“I have always been the best garbage can. No other garbage can is equal. People know I am the best garbage can.”

I think Elmo’s brain is stuck in 1985.


That happens to 14 year old boys sometimes.

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." — KungFu Monkey – Ephemera, blog post, March 19, 2009”

Coming to your rearview mirror:

Hehe. Go ahead. Try to outrun it.
Go ahead, shoot at the officers.

Cybertruck gets so much free publicity. Several celebrities are also flaunting it now.

Saw 2 of them on our way back from South Carolina to Ohio. One around Asheville, N.C. and can’t remember where I saw the other - probably somewhere around Columbia, S.C. Can’t say it looked very attractive, but to each his own.

Yep!

Above, it was called “brutalist”.
What more can a policeman ask for?

The steel is being buffed till you can not see it. The shine is incredible.

Other people paint them black. Very cool. People are getting creative with the body.

This next one is a wrap.

My father once commented, “It’s not who you know but who knows you that matters.”

It would be terrible for Tesla if people just ignored the CyberTruck. Keep on CyberTrucking!

Great reputation >>> is excellent and the goal >>> bad reputation >>> poor and in the way >>> no reputation >>> the dumbest thing you can do.
