Okay I know the second statement from him is the main point but I can’t just leave the first one be. Where the fuck is that a “tight parking garage”??? Ay parking garage that fits a cyber truck is not a “tight parking garage”. You can easily park 2 cars in that spot wtf

I think he’s just admitting he’s a bad driver. I’ve backed trailers into tighter spaces.

Very first thing I thought too. Absolutely mental to call that a tight parking spot.

The cyber truck is a piece of shit. Tesla is an F-tier car maker and Elon can go fuck himself… but like this guy is just being considerate with this. If it’s not meant for walking, and it’s just crossed out due to issues with the building/garage design, then just scoot over a bit to give everyone else some space.

It’s as much self preservation, but I think it’s a no brainer here. You’re not being a dick going over on that side imo.

Not that you need to be afraid of someone dooring your stainless behemoth in the first place unless you don’t want to have to wipe their paint off your’s.

Aren’t little dings actually super bad for the Cybertruck because it rusts really easily?

I can’t imagine how embarrassing it would be to drive one of these. Like the rich man’s Pontiac Aztek.

Now listen here bucko, the Pontiac Aztek might be the (now second) ugliest thing to ever wander the Earth on wheels but at least it was a competent, if expensive, crossover.

This monstrosity has no saving grace other than telling other people that the driver sucks.

Every picture of this car looks like someone did a bad photoshop of a lo-res car from a video game and it’s hilarious

The fake-looking-ness of it is the only decent(?) trait.

It’s like a vehicle in a game that’s in the distance using its low poly model and hasnt rendered yet.

Everybody always comments how the Cybertruck looks like a child’s drawing of a car, but to me, with its bland, shiny, flat exterior and painfully simplistic tail lights (come on, Elon, even Volkswagen knows how to make a car look futuristic), it reminds me of nothing so much as the sheet metal abomination Topgear came up with when asked to build an electric car

The Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust was way better looking and had cooler features than the CyberTruck

I want that bus so bad but they’re definitely overpriced toys for the rich.

I am not a huge fan of the cybertruck, Elon, or Tesla but imo that Volkswagen looks exactly like a toy. I don’t like it at all.

I personally don’t think the cybertruck looks like a toy, it just looks weird and way too big. I don’t really see the problem with the taillights except that they are way too high up.

I also don’t think they made the cybertruck because they don’t know how to make a futuristic car. They have competent designers that know how to make a imo decent looking car.

They (quite likely being forced by Elon) just wanted to create a unique car. It’s likely that the design goal always was “a geometric stainless steel car” and not something they came up with after.

I personally think stainless steel cars look really cool, whether it’s practical or not I don’t know. A geometric car sound like it could be cool but this ain’t it.

It would look good in a video game, but not in real life
