    I don’t understand the market for the Swastikar. You need to love Nazism, believe that global warming is real, and be able to finance a 100K vehicle. That’s a Venn Diagram with an incredibly small center circle.

    The recalls and potential to be burned alive inside also have to be ignored.

      You also need to be clueless about off-road and towing capabilities. I see an odd similarity to this car as the Hummer brand in the 2000s. It represented some sort of gluttonous American superiority at the time. Whereas the Hummer alluded to a military superiority, the Cybertruck now alludes to a BigTech superiority. It’s all the attempt to buy yourself an identity.

      You need to… believe that global warming is real

      No you don’t. There are plenty of chuds who like higher-end electric cars just because they’re extremely fast.

          Sure, but if they meet the parent commenter’s other two criteria (loving Naziism and being able to finance a $100k vehicle), especially the first one, why would they pick some cool brand when they could have a swastikar instead?

          (That downvote isn’t from me, BTW.)
