    Is there any vehicle in the world that screams rich asshole more than the cyber truck? There are more expensive vehicles for sure, but my first thought if I saw a Pagani wouldn’t be to flip it off.

      At least with other expensive cars you can admire the craftsmanship, elegant appearance, and significant history behind the brand or specific model of car. For the money, you get none of those things with a cyber truck.

        People who care about such things aren’t Tesla customers. You need to have ultimate shallowness to spend money on Elon’s shitty products.

      I can understand hitting the lottery and spending six figures on a luxury sports car. I cannot image why anyone would have voluntarily submitted themselves to this vehicle. Its the automotive equivalent of lighting six figures on fire.

      I guess any vehicle you can’t afford can scream rich asshole if you’re bitter enough

        any vehicle you can’t afford

        Definitely a difference between living beyond your means and simply pissing the money away.

        Admittedly, this vehicle was made by a guy who wrecked his McLauren inside a year. When you’re a billionaire, I guess you just see everything as disposable.
