He laments people laughing at him, and likens his purchase of the cybertruck to that of the Toyota Prius. Unfortunately, what he fails to consider, is that the Prius is an economy car. You can make fun of a crappy car, but that mockery ends before it affects the owner, because the majority of us understand that buying a car is more of a financial matter, rather than one of taste. i.e. most of us buy the car we can afford, not necessarily the car we want.
That goes out the window when you take into consideration the cybertrucks price tag. If it was an economy electric car (like the Prius), we would poke fun at the vehicles design and that would be it. But this is a bloated, over-priced, unreliable, gimmick truck; whose only purpose is to serve as an ego-boost to one of the richest, dumbest men on the planet. The man that got bullied into buying and abruptly tanking one of the largest social media companies in the world. The same man jumping around like a pick-me dipshit at a fascist rally for a convicted felon, bankrupt businessman, convicted rapist, and self-described sex-pest.
People can laugh at not just the cybertruck, but also the owner; because paying what amounts to a third of a fucking house so you can fanboy a man sure to go down as one of histories most public dumb-asses, makes you ripe for ridicule (and deservedly so).
Agree 100%. Also, re. “a third of a house”; I bought an old (1941) but comfortably livable 2 bedroom house with garden and driveway in Columbia, South Carolina for only $86k last year. Most of the cyberfuck owners paid MORE than my house for their dumb cars…
well said, kudos

Hey, Memericans, do Apple next.
He says “a female”, then “a guy”.
No wonder they’re laughing. This guy’s a joke.
Anytime they say female, but don’t specify the species, you get to pick.

…he’s talking about two different drivers.
We are all aware. The terminology used for the two different drivers is the problem. You don’t call a woman a female, that’s insulting. He had no problem to call a guy a guy, no “male” or such. It makes him sound like a misogynistic asshole.
Oh, gotcha.
…oh boy. I’m guessing you call women females if you missed that one.

Kinda funny heh
Jesse, on his part, suggests Elon Musk’s controversial nature is to blame for the people laughing at him.
While I’m sure that’s part of it, mostly it’s just the fact that you blew 6 figures on a poorly assembled low res rust triangle
Exactly, few people are laughing at people in any other tesla. It’s specifically this vehicle because it’s a impractical hunk of junk AND ugly as fuck.
He’s bought a status car and spent ~$70k extra on it in order to get a reaction. Not sure what he’s whining about.
Probably because he expected for that sort of money for the only reaction to be people jizzing themselves
I suppose that’s… kind?
He chooses what to drive. If he likes it, that’s his right. It’s also right of the others not to like it and find it ridiculous. There is no objective reason to drive a Cybertruck except to show off. Well, it backfired for him.
He claims he’d never mock a Prius while in the same sentence posting about how much he hates the Prius, and then doesn’t think it’s fair to be mocked for driving a certain vehicle.
To break this Möbius strip logic: Blame someone else.
To be fair, I don’t care for either the CyberTruck or the Prius.
But yes, there is a lot of social backlash against owners of the Cyber Truck. But it just ain’t “females”. It’s all of us laughing at you.
His point is that it’s fine to hate certain cars but that you still shouldn’t mock the people driving them. I think that’s kind of a dumb line to draw, but it’s not hypocritical or inconsistent.
I am going to judge people by their actions.
Right, but saying “I hate the Prius” is not mockery.
“Stupidity” would be the answer to both why he bought a cybertruck and why he wonders why people are laughing about his choice.
“I drive the equivalent of a 2024 Yugo that is laughably poor quality sold by a huckster and I paid enough to buy 4 reasonable cars. It’s the most gaudy design of any car ever produced since the dawn of time. Why would people laugh at me?”
Granted, she could have been having a weird reaction to a stroke or something,
Bless your heart
As a man I’ve been patiently waiting my entire life for the general population of women to realize they can shame men into not being stupid assholes. I don’t think men on the whole are going to like it…but it’s been a long time coming. See: history.
Man, I sure wish cybertrucks had been around to deflect when I spent 7 years driving a Fiat Panda.
James May? Is that you?
Great News! There’s a new Dacia Sandero!
Guys, I just can’t figure out why my coworkers laugh at me when I show them my picture wearing a maid costume! What could possibly be funny about that?
Nothing, post pics
You forgot your maid bonnet. Classic blunder!
Aww heck. How do I get one of those on short notice?

It’s probably the cat ears
Aww, but they’re supposed to be cute!
Very cute outfit :3
Ford Multipla drivers can finally point and laugh at another vehicle owner.
I was like “oh, I gotta remember that duck billed one. That’s an ugly one too. Ugliest I ever saw!”
It’s the Multipla. It’s a Fiat, though.
Until the cyberstuck appeared.
But i feel like capability is a beautiful thing.
You’re right, I don’t know why I thought it was Ford 😅
The Ford Multipa is one of those vehicles that’s so ugly that it’s cute.
The Cybertruck, not so much.
I honestly kinda want to import a Multipla, widebody it and put a Hellephant in it
*Fiat Multipla
That said, the second gen looks alright.
But nobody paid $100k for a Multipla that it corrodes by itself, right?
I’ve seen multiple people making fun of the car (myself included) but never the owner.
And also I share FlyingSquid opinion, it’s ugly but in a cute way.
Now I know who designed the USPS’s new fleet
This person needs to get help. I doubt more than one or two women are laughing at him, if there is anyone laughing at all.
Who has time to do this while driving?
I’ve pointed and laughed at a couple of Cybertrucks. It’s hard to really capture how funny they look in motion in person. That feeling of “this was drawn by a kindergardener” hit me so much harder the first couple times I saw a real one moving.
Looks more like an attempt at a low polygon 3d model to me.
I think it’s because it’s stupid looking enough that the brain doesn’t even classify it as a vehicle, it’s just some weird contraption that isn’t supposed to act like a vehicle does, so it’s an uncanny valley effect.
As others mentioned, it does look kinda ridiculous in person. Driving home Sunday with my sister we saw one, pointed and both laughed/chuckled to each other. I wasn’t looking at the driver so dunno if they noticed, but if they were looking at our faces as we passed they might have been able to notice, and it was just a natural reaction, not meant to have the owner notice in an effort to mock or anything.
My partner and I make a point of pointing and laughing at every single cyber truck and owner we see
if we see one parked we like to walk by it to see if it’s true we can run down the battery by making its security system record us.
I live in the Bay Area and there are like 5 of them in my small, rural town, so I see them daily. I laugh every time. As silly as they look in photos, it’s just so much sillier in real life. Especially out in the county where I live.
My opinion of Musk has nothing to do with it. For the price of it, its ugly as fuck.
I’m not a fan of priuses either, but priuses don’t a) take wild swings in design in order to be “edgy” and b) price themselves according to supposed “cool points”.
With or without Musk, your choices reflect who you are. This guy bought an overpriced vehicle in order to be “cool” and now he’s butt hurt that no one agrees with him.
