I just saw my first Cybertruck. It was uglier in person than it is in pictures.

It had a Blue Line Gang sticker, and the license plate read “ROBOCOP.” Assuming a cop owns it, it says a lot about his or her judgment, and how over paid cops are.

I don’t think there’s ever been an uglier vehicle that yells out to all who see it go by… ‘I am the idiot who bought this mess because Elon Musk told me I would appear smarter and cooler. How wrong I was.”

Good luck with that!
Primers tend not to adhere well to high chromium and/or nickel metals, because of the stubborn & stable oxides.
That paint job won't last.

Yep..the raccoons think the Cybertrucks are Dumpters. (Might have food in there)
Everybody is getting a kick out of it...of course, except the owners.

He/she puts it on display in the parking lot to make people sick to their stomach, thereby drumming up business.

They look like bad props from a low-budget 1950s black-and-white sci-fi flick.

Southwest Florida. They remind me of vehicles from a 70's or 80's dystopian sci-fi movie. One where civilization has gone to hell and everything is made of scraps.

Ir screams "tell me you're a jerk without telling me you're a jerk" vibes, just like those Hummers a few years ago.

They weren’t allowed to have anything on their cars that showed they were cops.

I assumed all departments were like that, but maybe it’s just the LAPD.
