    Good thing Tesla has all that money rolling in from its wildly-successful Cybertruck debut.

      It’s funny, the world was excited for basically a teched out Toyota Tundra with shitloads of battery. The designers were ready to build that, and they could have kept literally everything else the same (steer by wire, steel skin, glass, bed cover, etc) and everyone would have been happy.

      Even looking weird people were excited for it.

      But then they deleted half the range and doubled the price and ::pikachu face:: everyone hates it.

      Sure, musk was the reason it looks weird, but I’d be willing to bet he’s 100% the reason for those other things too, because they likely had to cut weight and size to make it’s weird look physical possible.

      (I’d still buy it if it had 500+ range)

        The literal sense of what you’re saying is implied since it’s not a figure of speech or hyperbole.
