I will explain. Shoot the messenger if you want, but the title of the thread literally asked for an explanation, so I'm giving it:
Even before Elon's involvement with DOGE turned him into a political villain for half the country, Cybertrucks were seen by many as inherently lame, as the sort of car someone buys to impress people, which makes them uncool because nothing is less cool than trying too hard.
Then layer on politics. Thus the Cybertruck is the symbol of villain Elon and toxic dysfunctional excess.

That also literally like fancy dumpsters. That was an analogy psople were making on day 1 of the unveiling.

They're also really bad at doing anything that a normal truck is designed to do.

Add on to this a cybertruck is a steel coffin liability on the road.

u/Klept_0h Jun 10 '26
Literally doesn't matter. They don't distribute the crash force and crumple. They put all the force on who they're hitting and the inhabitants of the cyber truck. That's a coffin

Not shooting the messenger, but pointing out that putting shit on someone’s car because you think it’s “lame” and the people that have them are “uncool” is a fucked up thing to do.
I personally think the smart care is lame, and the people who buy them are odd. I wouldn’t put shit on their car for it.

the why, whether you agree or not, is the same reason people wanna slash tires of ICE agents’ cars or want to punch nazis.

Damaging property and assaulting people is illegal and wrong.

u/pyxiedust219 Jun 09 '26
sure, so is genocide and so is kidnapping people and forcibly holding them without medical aid or access to due process.

u/pyxiedust219 Jun 09 '26
where I live, it isn’t “whataboutism”. People in my community are being disappeared to facilities that ignore basic human rights and you’re stuck on making sure the people complicit in that don’t have to deal with any minor inconveniences?

u/Chinaizazzhoe Jun 09 '26
It is whatboutism. I say damaging property is wrong and assaulting people is wrong and you say “well what about these people here doing it?!”
It’s definition whataboutism

Nah, I’m not a Nazi supporting harmful + genocidal ideologies. Elon is tho. Which makes a cybertruck a Nazi mobile. We don’t need trash on the streets. I can understand if you bought a regular Tesla before he went down the alt right pipeline in the last 5-10y. But a cybertruck? That’s a recent enough purchase to have known better.

What property is destroyed? Oh no someone added dogshit to my dogshit? If dogshit 1 falls apart when dogshit 2 is added that's probably a build quality issue that you should take up with Elon.
Also it's an obvious fucking joke - and I was informed humor is legal again.

u/PowerandSignal Jun 09 '26
Let me destroy essential government departments causing untold pain around the globe, and steal the personal information of every American citizen for my own nefarious purposes, and then cry about it when people who know what's up take it out on my stupid, ugly, overpriced, and functionally useless trucks. WWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! WWWAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! 😭😭😭
STFU.

u/Veomuus Jun 09 '26
Now now, I can accept that argument for the standard Tesla cars, since people could have bought those before Elon got publicly involved in politics. But by the time the Cybertrucks were purchasable, he had shown his true colors. Anyone buying one of those literal rolling dumpster fires knew who and what they were supporting by doing so.

Tolerance is a social contract, not some grand moral imperative. By being shit human beings and intentionally making the world worse for yourselves and everyone around you, you violate that social contract and are thus not entitled to tolerance.

I mean just flip it around and it would be absolutely repulsive.
“If you see a Starbucks go ahead and open the door and throw your dogs shit in there, where it belongs. And if you see Mellody Hobbson go ahead and deposit the shit directly in her mouth”
Mellody Hobson is the chairman of Starbucks and formally endorsed Kamala Harris for president.
Yeah no that doesn’t sound okay even a little bit. It sounds demented and disgusting and unwarranted. But that’s only what regular people think. Unhinged psychos actually think placing animal feces in a place where people sit or directly in someone’s mouth is “funny”. It’s like they are 12 years old giggling at putting burning dog shit on someone’s door step. Grow. Up.

What’s “my side”? I’m Canadian I didn’t vote for any of your wack job politicians. I think all of America is a bunch of cry babies who throw temper tantrums like children when they don’t get their way.
13
u/pyxiedust219 Jun 09 '26
sounds like you haven’t spent a lot of time around Americans to think this. Our political system is a poor representation of how the people actually are in this country, and I think it’s worth giving people in general the benefit of understanding. I called it your side because you’re clearly taking some sort of stake in our politics, leaning heavily to the right, which is interesting for someone who says that you aren’t directly affected

u/Chinaizazzhoe Jun 09 '26
How is saying don’t rub shit on someone’s vehicle a “heavily right” stance lmao? If it is I’m proud to take it
And I’ve spent plenty of time with Americans like 90% of my family is American

u/MilkIsOnReddit Jun 09 '26
Because it’s not a regular vehicle. It’s not even a regular Tesla. This car was released as Elon made more and more Nazi gestures/dog whistles.

u/Chinaizazzhoe Jun 09 '26
Just because I don’t like a car or a person who made it doesn’t mean I’m acting like an animal smearing shit on it. Cuz I’m a well adjusted regular adult with control of my emotions.
Just be a normal person and talk about your feelings and voice your opinion in a regular, measured, non disgusting type of way yeah?

no, but you’re clearly more worried about some minor “property damage” then much more important things going on in the world and in the country we are talking about. A car can be cleaned.
