This article is nothing but a bunch of ranting about something the author doesn't happen to like. There's zero data to back up the issues claimed, I'd say this is clickbait.


This article might as well have a subtitle of "Damn, I really hate Elon and all his stupid fanboys". I think this is the line that made me roll my eyes the most:

A fun irony here is that the Cybertruck's evident frailty as a heavy-duty utility vehicle will disqualify it, absolutely, in the eyes of the median American pickup-truck buyer

The median American pickup truck buyer isn't the target audience. The audience are techies who want to drive something that doesn't look like anything else on the road while still sitting up high so they're on eye level with the aforementioned American pickups.


What a crap article. It's a low quality click bait, with half a page essay into "creative" article. Half a page of purely subjective language of someone that has never seen the actual product.


This is a total flamebait. I am no tesla owner or musk fan by any means. The implication of this article is that surely there is no possible explanation for Tesla employees carefully driving the cybertruck over a curb onto a landscaped lawn into a parking spot besides it being totally useless for any offroading. This is pretty nonsensical, imo.


> American pickup truck driver never asks his gigantic blacked-out coal-rolling Ford F-150 Raptor

I'd love to know how a gasoline powered F-150 can roll coal.
