Embarrassing sums it up.

No vehicle has ever screamed "LOOK AT ME" more than one of these.

Has anyone ever seen one used as a truck?

It's like all the sporty little convertibles being driven around by 80-year-old men. Just go away.

I have not. It would be interesting to try one off road, but I don't see it happening.

Yes. There are three or four owners at the airport. On guy rows a little camper trailer to the Sierra foothills quite regularly.

But there is one that is all modded out like most trucks these days.

Cyber trucks are the ugliest eye soars ever built.

Only absolute morons and douchebags buy them.

Many vehicles are designed to scream "LOOK AT ME", most are this successful at doing it.

Cybertruck as a work truck: 10 month review. Far from perfect, but also not the worst.

If you read the comments, keeping away hateful lunatics is a selling feature.
