Maine Cybertruck Owner Sad Everyone Hates His Truck
The owner of a Tesla Cybertruck in Portland, Maine says he's been getting some seriously negative attention.

He says he never wanted any attention.
Did he try not buying a truck with a unique design that almost no one owns?
Especially in Maine where half the people drive subaru outbacks and other half drive pickups.
Definitely, but I would say that, outside maybe the Bay Area and even probably there, you'll draw attention to yourself with a Cybertruck. It's pretty much designed to draw attention to itself.
Hey now it's a pickup. Not one where you can halul anything, albut it has a tiny flatbed
I hate lots of cars, I also dont sympathise with anyone who has problems with their Cybertruck. But going out of your way to shit on something that makes someone else happy makes you an asshole.
Idk, but this thing is fucking huge and dangerous as fuck. It seems like driving that box atound your neighbour makes it everyone's problem.
IDK, Theres plenty of big trucks, its no bigger than an F250. Tesla have made about 4000 Cybertrucks so far, Ford sold over 750,000 F-series trucks in 2023... Most people probably dont NEED a big truck but Tesla arent much more than a drop in that bucket.
Agree completely with your sentiment.
I’m also curious how on earth this human didn’t understand that buying a cybertruck would bring him a ton of attention.
I mean, I kind of like the styling of it as a "Lol, why the fuck not" its stupid and fun, if you have the money why not. But I think some people take owning a Cybertruck as right wing virtue signaling, Musk certainly hasnt made himself any more popular since it was released, constant shenanigans at Tesla and the constant stories about issues with them.
Its gone from a weirdly designed car to a whole thing
The guy sell cannabis for a living, he probably consumes quite a lot. He do him, of course, but that may explain it.
I'd feel bad for him but no one who buys one of these is doing so for any other reason than to be seen with it. It takes the impracticality of pickups for the average person and turns it up to 11 while simultaneously looking like shit.
Would I let him know that I'd rather have the car Homer Simpson designed instead of his, and that its not just the design that makes me feel that way? Absolutely.
Would I go out of my way to do so? Probably not. But if thr conversation went that way...
Would I spit on or key his car? Absolutely not. Thats weird as hell.
I would rather have The Homer too. Engineers worked hard to make sure The Homer did everything it was supposed to do.
Because that's exactly what it is. Successful car company let's a guy designing a car who isn't even qualified to write his own name
He bought a truck that hasn't fully rendered yet. Of course everyone hates it.
Someone put led lights on a metal dumpster and installed a windshield, who's gonna love that?
Small dick energy people. It's pretty clear that he knews exactly who's buying that shit. He tells shit like: if someone's challenging you in the apocalypse, you are gonna win. And his fanboys were whooing and shaking their tiny fists.
I saw a real Cybertruck on a street for the first time last week. Looks much worse than in pictures, like a modernized Trabant.... (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant).
I can't even comprehend what this monstrosity looks like irl. And i hope i never have to see one. It's bad enough that people drive more and more of these dumb ass yank tanks over here.
So what happened with this thing anyway? When it was first announced, it was polarizing, but a lot of people still seemed pretty hyped for it. But now that it's out, everyone's shitting on it.
It took a lot longer from announcement to launch than anticipated. In that time Musk bought twitter and went full out in the open right-wing nut and several other automakers announced and released electric trucks.
The vehicle itself suffers from the panel alignment quality control issues that every Tesla suffers from but exaggerated because the body panels really need tight tolerances to look right. The grade of stainless steel they used isn't great for weather resistance and without a clearcoat it immediately starts to lose the factory finish.
