    While the Cybertruck is a screaming gold color, it’s for a reason. It’s a billboard for the medical spa the Syrian immigrant said he worked hard to build from the ground up three years ago.

      There’s no billboard on the car in the article. There’s likely a small sticker somewhere. This is a common practice by business owners so they can file their personal vehicle as a business expense and dodge some of their tax liability. Frankly it’s a pretty shitty practice.

        The billboard is on the back, complete with QR code. LOL.

        It’s common to buy whatever the new eye catching vehicle is and wrap it for a business, we saw it when the new VW Bug was introduced, and again with the PT Cruiser, but for a cybertruck, he should have looked at WHY it was eyecatching… like a fish hook.

          I like that you got a couple downvotes, I guess for calling a large text URL that spans the entire tailgate width and a giant fuckin QR code and the logo for the foundation a billboard? Like it’s not as flashy as a lot of advert wraps but it’s plainly visible from a decent distance, and it’s on a gold cybertruck so I guess it is flashy. I wonder what the opposition to you calling it a billboard is

      Oh, so it’s even more offensive because it’s a goddamn advertisement?

      Edit: and a fucking tax dodge, to boot!

      It’s just digging this entitled fuckwad’s hole even deeper.

      “Look, it’s an ugly gold Cybertruck! Clearly I must go to this medical spa that I don’t know the name of or that it exists at all!”
