    If you loved EVs, why on Earth would you get a Cybertruck when there are legitimately good EV trucks out there?

    If you scroll down to the list of other EV trucks, the Cybertruck is the most expensive after the Hummer, which, no shit that’s ridiculously overpriced like all Hummers. That’s not an endorsement.

      Seems a question you’d have to ask the person that bought it, not me.

      I think everything about them is stupid. EVs in general do not fit my use case.

      I do track days / time trials in my fun car I tow a boat and haul stuff with my truck (sometimes hundreds of miles). I guess if I could have a third commuting car a EV might work, but I use my motorcycle for that whenever possible.

        You’re the one who came up with the explanation that it’s about loving EVs, not the person who bough it. So I’m asking you.

          Reread what I originally wrote…

          I was, in fact, expressing how silly it is for someone to assume the Cybertruck owner was a Nazi or wanting to suck off Elon. That it couldn’t possibly be owned by someone that loves EVs or the Cybertruck for their own reasons not within the narrow narrative associated with someone that would purchase such a vehicle assumed in this thread.

          That’s all the more effort I’m putting into this.

            Yes, I read what you wrote. You came up with an explanation for why someone would do that. Then you acted like it wasn’t your explanation. Now you’re just outright refusing to back up what you said.

            It’s not a good look.
