What a shit, blamed it on the valet when he was driving and asked billionaire Elon for a new one.

Buying a a vehicle as expensive as a cyber truck without it ever being a real product, nevermind being able to actually take it for a test drive is not exactly indicative of someone who makes good life choices.

Lol. That one downvote. Someone is a tesla fanboy.

S'okay. I take great satisfaction in knowing their investment is rusting away.

literally.

And Elon being the asshole he is made comments about the valet.

Elon said the valet may not have expected the truck to have so much power, which is a perfectly reasonable reaction.

I saw one of these backing out of a parking space at the grocery store the other day, and it's just monstrous in real life. I felt vicarious shame for the driver

"Vicarious shame" is a hilarious phrase I've never heard, and such a perfectly concise description. I'm stealing that. Just reading it made me remember my most recent feeling of that and turn a little red.

Somehow the second half of the article reads like an advertisement for the cybertruck. Did Elon write it?

The fewer of these on the road, the better society is. Not a surprise to learn the owner is a scumbag.

I will say that not living near the place is by far the easiest way I've found to never crash into that sign myself with my non Tesla car.
