It blows me away that there are apparently people with enough discretionary spending to blow on a Cybertruck that don't have the foresight to make sure said Cybertruck would physically fit where they park it.

The article says: > Since ordering the vehicle, Raddon's living circumstances have changed… He said that he and his wife separated and he's since moved into a new apartment complex, and his new Cybertruck doesn't fit comfortably in its parking space.

  He chose a new place to live without thought of parking his vehicle. It's not clear from the article if he took delivery before or after the split, but if before, it's something that should have been checked. If after, AFAIK you have until day of delivery to cancel your Tesla order.

    > you have until day of delivery to cancel your Tesla order. And after that I suppose he made the mistake of not rearranging his life to suit his Cybertruck.

  I do wonder if the display of “judgment” in buying said Cybertruck played into the seeds of his divorce?

  I misread this at first as “since he ordered the vehicle…”

If there is one thing I have learned after 8 years of running a mobile detailing van, with about a third of my jobs being boats or planes in fancy private storage spaces, it's that there is absolutely zero correlation between having the ability to drop a hundred grand or two on a vanity purchase and having any common sense whatsoever. It used to really grind my gears how clueless some of my clients are, but they really are only human at the end of the day and now I find it funny when they say something completely out-of-touch. I only wish I was clever or lucky enough to find myself in similar wealth.
