    On one hand cybertruck is a completely unique design and is a delorean of its day - a trash car with unmistakable, unique appearance you buy as an investment. You don’t need to be homo for musk to see that this car will jump up in value in 20 years. And people who bought it as an investment are super happy, propably even behind the " vandalize ct movement" while theirs sits in a garage.

    On the other hand even without musk being nazi you are incredebly fucking stupid to buy this terrible car from a terrible company who to this day has not made a single good quality vehicle that is reliable or is built to a standard of the avarage cheap toyota. Or hell, even volkswagen. There were multible chances to cancel your preorder and they still bought it. Even after it was revealed you can’t sell it. This is the chickens coming home to roost and teach you about how to spend your money.

      I think another thing to mention is we live in an age of information overload and it seems everyone has or is doing some morally disgusting so the average person can’t really keep up with who’s done what. I know Elon is pretty much in the headlines nonstop but it’s easy to become numb to such things. Like you said the car is unique and people were excited for it. Lots of them now aren’t from pre-orders but coming across mildly discounted second hand can be enticing to those who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity.

      Fuck Elon, he can rot in the emerald mine he came from

        If you can slap ev conversion into an od jag, you can slap some new batteries into an old ev, especially since enthusiasts will make the conversion kits available

          This sounds like a good reason to get one that has already been gutted down to the frame, preserve it and juice it up with modern technology when they day comes.
