    I finally saw a Cybertruck on the road today. I didn’t know whether to feel sorry for the driver because he’d been scammed, or just laugh at him.

    The El Camino is such an awesome car.

        Definitely a better name than Plymouth Scamp.

        MY TRUCK HAS THE POWER OF A RAMPAGING RHINO vs. Oh, truck! You scamp! I can’t stay mad at you for having a faulty transmission!

        Edit: That link led me to a page about the VW SEAT Inca. Look at this thing.

            Man, America has all the boring cars. And the one time someone does something different, we end up with the fucking Cybertruck.

        Amateurs

        For real though, I would in un-ironically own any of these but the cyber truck can go ahead and fuck off.

          I was expecting that to link to a Subaru Brat tbh the Ranchero feels a lot more normie than the Rampage. I agree though. I wish Utes never left the US market

            I love the Brat seats in the back bed, with handles on ‘em, like “Good luck!”

      It would make a great EV. So much room under the truck bed for batteries.

      How did a piece of shit like that get a pass for being road worthy?

        Partly, I’d imagine, because Musk has made an effort to frame it as a “technology platform” rather than simply a vehicle.

        His image as this innovative tech pioneer has historically given him leeway with legislators and transport officials.

        You saw it similarly with the stupid Waymo self-driving cars in San Francisco; because it’s painted as this emerging technology of the future it suddenly becomes ok to test it out on the public.

        Billionaires are afforded this assumption that they are especially competent in general, so we get things like Musks “hyperloop” and Bill Gates’ failed meddling in education reform that ended in abject failure. It’s that effect of “Well, they’re super rich so they must know what they’re talking about.”

    I thought Inc-El was a play on inconel and that this meme was about how extremely cool the Cybertruck is.

    I was confused.

    Then I thought about it.

      I honestly thought the same thing, which would be extremely cool. But, could you even imagine how much an inconel clad cybertruck would be?

        Yes indeed. The only zombie TV show I’ve liked.

            Nonsense. The more it went off the rails, the better it got.

            Radioactive zombies? Super potent weed grown out of zombie heads? Giant zombie ball? Killing a horde of zombies with a massive wheel of cheese? I loved it all.

    Part of me wonders if the goofy, incomprehensible, hard-right pundit persona Musk has embodied over the past few years is just a character concocted to self trucks to Rednecks.

    Then I remember he’s a moron.

    Now I am question whether incel is pronounced [inkel] or [insel] like I previously thought.

      I watched the original video a few years ago. I had forgotten how cool Truckla is, and how likable Simone is.

    There was one behind me on the way to dropping my kid off this morning. I hate them. It was like that Kurt Russel grindhouse shit. Worse than having a semi on your bumper. Listening to reggae, cracking jokes and giggling, telling me about Pokemon and shit, having a great morning together… then there’s this electric murder truck haunting us.

    I can’t not think of the reports about them not crumpling and just slaughtering anyone in their wake- is that true or disinfo?

    You have lost your mind if you actually believe cyber truck owners and incels overlap in a diagram.

        You really think high income earners and influencers looking to show off their tech overlaps with incels? The demographics don’t line up.

        Look I think the thing is trash, but it’s not incels buying these.

        I’m sorry your meme material isn’t based in reality and you feel the need to act out on that.

          You certainly personalized it a lot for someone who thinks it’s not hitting near reality.
