A Dentist Tesla Cybertruck Owner Says Loneliness Drove Him to Buy a Truck That Turns Heads: “They Can’t Ignore You Now”

Wow. That's got to be one of the ugliest cars on the planet. It brings to mind Homer's car.

Wouldn't it be cheaper ?

You really fucked up as a dentist if you aren’t dating one of the harem of assistants they seemingly all have.

sad.

So the Cybertruck is the physical manifestation of an angry, incel Trumpster.

Hetero men will literally buy a pile of trash to show off instead of going to therapy.

Exactly R5. But who's going to buy these "trucks"? MAGA wouldn't be seen dead in an electric vehicle and Musk has destroyed his traditional Telsa customer base with X and his extreme politics.

Apparently the Telsa Cybertruck costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.

That’s really sad. And kind of pathetic. I guess that’s what I’ll think about when I see one driving around now.

That quote is from OP's linked article. I was spot on about it being Homer's car.

R8 - most of the Tesla truck owners look ashamed or hate the attention in my area. To be fair - some of these people put a deposit down and got on the wait-list years ago before Musk turned and before anyone knew anything about the product.

They look like stainless steel fridges made into Power Wheels to me.

That article is based on a Facebook post. How do I get paid to repost garbage from social media?

R11 - CHEAP stainless steel fridges.

Dentists make a lot of money and are into cars. Both my dentist and my periodontist have expensive cars.

What an embarrassment.

This is the alpha male stud dentist who made this quote.

And of course he's from Orange County.

I imagine he's never had much attention paid to him his entire life.

The Cybertruck now replaces the Corvette as the 'short-dicked man' vehicle of choice.

Buying a fancy car to get people to talk to you for two seconds is what Andrew Tate recommends in his Incel training program.

Sad to see that someone with an advanced degree would have a 15 year old's understanding of how to appeal to other people. Next he's going to get a six pack and fly into a rage when he's still lonely.

I would never buy a Tesla. I've loathed Musk for years.

In fairness, almost everyone buys a car with the hope of impressing people. A car is meant to be a representation of jts owner. If you have the money, you will spend it on making a statement with a car.

"My life sucks, but perhaps the right purchase will make things better."

If only Elon had been born with a normal sized dick, maybe he wouldn’t be fucking up our world

Oddly enough, R19, I bought my car because I needed reliable transportation. I couldn't have cared less about what anyone thought about it. You sound as though you've read one too many "What your car tells other people about you" articles.

What about his front hump R21?

I made a dream auto purchase for me and I really don't want anyone to come up to me when I'm getting in or out. It's for the drive and thrill..for me. Fuck everyone else

Same R22. Everyone most certainly does not buy a car to impress others

Whenever I see one of those all I can think of is where’s the can opener.

I’ve seen a couple of those trucks and they’re oddly fun and cool. They look like they come from the future or are going to be used in a movie.

But I’m a lifelong science fiction fan, so there’s that. And I do know now that Musk really is the enemy. Years ago, I bought some Tesla shares so I could go to the annual meeting in Mountain View and I flew to Florida from Oregon to see the launch of the Falcon Heavy. I was a fan. No one else I knew was. They were right and I’m never going to fully trust my judgment about people again.

He likes being laughed at?

We laugh at people driving those stupid things.

These things make El Caminos look beautiful

How much does one cost?

What did you buy, r24?

I half-agree with you, r19. When I buy a car it's definitely a reflection of my personal taste and some part of me wants others to approve of that taste. That's not the same as buying a car purely to start conversations which is what that poor sadsack did.

You know those magnetic signs people put on thir truck doors advertising their businesses? Well, bad idea for cyber trucks. Big rust and discoloration problems.

The cyber truck looks like it was designed on the back of a napkin by drunken frat boys

Mostly because it actually was designed on the back of a napkin by aging frat boys

All cybertrucks get the finger from me as I pass their ugly asses

I saw one in Target's parking lot the other day. It looked ridiculous.

There’s a few in my town here in northern NJ. On the neighborhood Facebook groups with all the good gossip, these vehicles are mocked and derided. The drivers are caricatured as weak insecure needy trend-chasing males with $$ to burn.

Sometimes “look at me!” is not the big win the person thinks it is.

Those trucks look like a plot device from an 1980's John Cusack movie where he and a ragtag group of losers signed up to compete in his small town's annual demolition derby, where the winners are always the same rich bullies that Cusack's team manage to beat by teaching themselves to safely weld, do mechanical work, and drive the demolition vehicle --scrounged from spare parts from Cusack's dead alcoholic dad's junkyard-- all over the course of a weekend.

[quote]Sometimes “look at me!” is not the big win the person thinks it is.

So true. In my experience it almost never is R37. It usually has a negative effect unless it's done very tastefully and in an understated manner so that you're not quite sure... but you think so. Unless it's a showing off a *massive cock - "look at me" always ends up a disaster. Like this situation. This poor guy is very unattractive and clearly unlikable - absolutely insufferable. But instead of working to improve himself (personality, appearance, outlook), he does something pathetic like this. It's just so pathetic. Embarrassing. He must be hung like a gnat. I would feel embarrassed if I ever saw people like this in public getting in/out of one of these Cybertrucks.

(*and whatever it is that straight people like).

That sounds good R38? Which Cusak film was it? I looked but I can't see anything in his filmography like that.

Nowadays he looks more like the alcoholic dad who owns the junkyard than the leader of a ragtag group of losers who serve rich small-town bullies there just desserts, R40.

Feel free to write the screenplay, though. Maybe Leon will donate one of his shitboxes for the film.

R7, R31

The person who wrote the headline of OP’s article could have used a second draft.

The really sad part of this is that we, the taxpayers of the United States, subsidized this ridiculous purchase by this emotionally stunted man-child.

When will the US finally cut off Elmo from sucking at the government teat?

Elmo is the biggest welfare queen in the world.

Attention whore.

I think Cybertrucks look interesting, but I can understand why people would hate the design. I see them often, and they always look weird when they're around other cars.

I thought Hummers were obnoxious but this one beats all.

He'll still be lonely

What a loser!

That hideous rolling dumpster isn’t a truck.

Trucks are made to haul shit. Sometimes literally, like when you’re getting horse shit for your garden.

My truck is currently full of firewood. Once I unload that, I’ll load it with furniture. Then scrap metal, then firewood again.

That POS couldn’t haul anything.

There was one parked in the neighborhood I was staying in Provincetown last summer.

Everyone was laughing about it and mocking it and the driver, whoever he was (and he assuredly was a he).

There are a lot of Cyber trucks where I live and I still haven’t adjusted to their ugliness. The best looking ones I’ve seen are painted matte black, because they look like something out of a sci-fi film. Any other color on a Cyber truck (especially refrigerator silver) looks ridiculous.

$100K for a cheap looking refrigerator. And I have no interest in further enriching Elmo.

Whatever.

I still remember the GM concept vehicles from the 1980s, of which the Tesla is a bad knock-off.

Here's the gorgeous Pontiac Pursuit. I really wish GM would bring back the Pontiac arm.

We bought a Tesla Model S about a year and a half ago and really dislike it. Lots of problems we weren’t expecting.

I saw one in my neighborhood recently and when the guy got out of it I commmented that we regretted our purchase so much I could only imagine how he felt.

He didn’t respond well.

Jesus, the hair dye on Cusack at r40.

R41 - He *is* the alcoholic who owns the junkyard now. He had a reputation as a morose alcoholic who drank by himself in Bucktown in Chicago in the late 90s early aughts.

Those are super cool, R53.

I drive a beater Toyota and refuse to get a nice car just so shallow people will be “impressed.” If someone wants to drive a cyber truck bc they think it is cool, that is fine by me. But to get a car just because of what other people think is so lame

R54 - yep, a few years ago, it seemed like most new Tesla cars were immediately returning to the shop within a few weeks.

I remember taking a few Uber Teslas and all of them were bitching about it. This was before the truck.

I hope the whole company goes under - along with Twitter.

Trust me, dentists are the most insecure medical professionals in the world.

I never knew this until I dated one, but they’re constantly angry and envious of actual MDs.

I never knew there was that much of a difference.

But there is.

Very angry, bitter professionals.

Even though Elmo didn't get his $55 billion payout from Tesla, he'll probably get at least half as much. I think that decision should come by the end of the year. He could probably plunk down that cash and buy MSNBC.

Anybody who buys a car to escape loneliness or become more popular is going about life the wrong way. Joining a club in your community where like minded people can gather is much better then driving around in an ugly but expensive car.

I'm trying to think of a purchase you could make that would make you seem an even bigger cunt than if you bought a Cybertruck. But I can't think of one right now.

R61, I can think of one....

Whoops, that comment was meant for the Elmo buying MSNBC thread.

I refer to them as Samsung refrigerators.

^^Both of which are shitty, overpriced garbage.^^

Seen it in person. It looks fine. But doesn't it have a million issues? The sci-fi vehicles of the future it's supposed to look like actually work well...

My Nissan Rogue costed $60k less than the Cybertruck, AND has power liftgate (that goes but up and down with the push of a button) or wave of a foot.

The cybertruck only has push button up, not down. Lame.

I’ve seen a few in person. They are shockingly ugly

Dumbass Dante Colle bought one of these rolling refrigerators. Tells you all you need to know about the intelligence of the average Tesla Cybertruck consumer.

it really is all about their motivation: LOOK! AT! ME!

That car looks fucking awesome.

He should work on improving his personality. Obviously everyone hates him.

[quote] That car looks fucking awesome.

Thank you for speaking up for the drunken frat boy community

I finally remembered what the front of the Cybertruck reminds me of: the alien enforcer from The Day the Earth Stood Still:

"My Nissan Rogue costed $60k less than the Cybertruck"

So many Oh Dears on this one thread. Muskish.

R73 I’m sorry it does. It’s 80s meets postmodern. If only I could afford it…but then again I would never support any products made by Musk.

They look cheap, garish and boorish.

Like the people who drive them, r77

[quote]These things make El Caminos look beautiful

Don't insult El Caminos like that! They're cool.

4 college students home for Thanksgiving in Piedmont California (bay area) crashed early Wednesday morning. 3 died when the Cybertruck was engulfed in flames and 1 was pulled to safety by a local resident.

The Elon fanbois say: "this happens every day in different kinds of cars!". I say: "it's not every day 3 people die in a crash involving just one vehicle. And I certainly do not expect my car to instantly go up in flames on impact with a 3 foot garden wall"

Why am I interested in the Piedmont story? The tree has some burn marks but the wall came out pretty unscathed. A few videos of the scene. Smokin' hot bro leaves flowers. The slides/no show socks combo can be worked on. Poor Sandy! The homeowners might not love this happened either!

Since the beginning of time, men have been doing much stupider shit for attention/status.

The fact that a grown professional man did this is somehow less embarrassing to me than the fact that he is unabashedly admitting it out loud to the world.
