- amiga_500 6y agoAnd the Dodge Ram crowd are easily influenced. > I see you have a normal car there, how would you like a far more expensive car, with way less fuel efficiency, and storage you don't need. Oh by the way "real men" buy them.
- throwaway391003 6y agolol wow
- amiga_500 6y agoCars are very, very often sold using sex or sexually appealing stereotypes. Hardly anyone in most cities had a truck like this. Now loads of people do, because they were told by advertising people that it would be a good idea. It was not the purchasers idea to create this car. And all at a time of pollution as a huge problem.
- c0nducktr 6y agoEveryone wants to believe they're somehow above the influence of advertising, while a large percentage still earn their income working for ad companies. To them: If advertising doesn't work, what's your company selling? A lie?
- amiga_500 6y agoYes. I suspect that flagged poster had recently bought a truck to plug some gap in his masculine confidence! The truck thing is nuts. They are so big now that you cannot see an eight year old child for several metres from the grill, because the front is taller than a child. They are more polluting. Noisier. Really they are, for society, most unwelcome. And yet they ran adverts that said people should buy them. And they did. And they paid a premium over and above what many people save in a year.

- nickik 6y agoThis is some of the most arrogant statment I have ever read in my life. The superiority complex is off the charts. And I live near France.
- w3mmpp 6y ago> And I live near France. Funny but a bit easy, no? :)
- fasteddie31003 6y agoI was planning on buying the Cybertruck to replace my Tacoma but was forced to buy a new truck after the Tacoma was totaled. I got a diesel Ram 2500. Now I don't see any advantage of the Cybertruck over a diesel, however it does have an advantage over gasoline.
- crispyporkbites 6y agoOwn the libs by buying an electric truck! It doesn’t make sense but neither does trump being potus so I guess this is the world we live in
- typon 6y agoPretty much the only reasonable explanation here. His twitter mentions are full of conservative types showering praise at him. I think its brilliantly cynical
- nickik 6y agoHe has literally always been basically a libertarian. California Socialist seem to have overlooked that because he wanted to produce electric cars. Now he is in the category of 'Evil Greedy Capitalist Robbor Barron Exploiter' for them.
- DeonPenny 6y agoHes a classical liberal not one of the SQJ liberal so he's saying things a Joe Rogan or Jon Stewart would say. Both of which have be said to be conservative but arent
- GaryNumanVevo 6y agoI don't know how far Cybertruck is going to penetrate the truck market. 73% of truck owners literally have only owned the same make and model just upgraded from year to year.
- fludlight 6y agoWow, that's cigarette level brand loyalty.
