There's no way in hell this shit doesn't completely flop, right? Like, who in their right mind would buy this garbage aside from techbros riding Elon's pole?

I know someone who preordered this atrocity immediately. He of course drives a Tesla already and was convinced it was fully self-driving capable (3 years ago! LOL).

Some people really embrace Musk's reality distortion field. Other co-workers just made fun of him and asked him if he was going to put his current Tesla S on his Cybertruck's truckbed to max out his Tesla fanboyism.
