Overvalued tbh and I’ve driven more than a handful of them. Get a 90s minitruck like a Ranger/Mazda or Nissan Hardbody for a quarter the price

The Blue Wave may hit strange shores.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is so damn good

Quite terrible

You’re right, a person doing that job will totally fill the income inequality gap. That’s the real future of worker emancipation. Up by the bootstraps, one McDonald’s order at a time!

Yes, what an absolutely asinine thing to “protest” over and trying to tie it to being against AI is cheap and disingenuous. “Not the poor DoorDashers!!!”

These things are pretty much exclusively used on college campuses and downtown areas

Prescribing some weird qualifications of acceptability is… weird.

Truck people who use trucks as trucks, not the city folk who use them like a status icon, want a truck because of its utility

Here’s my cherry picked class of valid subject to support my opinion.

Ignoring that the Cybertruck was rejected by “truck people” because it was uniquely strange (versus electric trucks broadly) & “that city folk who use them like a status icon” probably make up the overwhelming majority of truck sales, there’s still more to consider.

Most fleet trucks are basic ass 2WD long beds. Real “truck people” don’t look for off road capabilities and real off roaders are choosing SUVs over trucks every time. Your hypothetical farmer on dirt roads is probably outnumbered by municipal services and contractors just wanting to throw a miter saw in the bed and pull up to a driveway 1:100.

But EV trucks were rejected by the markets. Why?

• A lack of downward pressure - continued fossil fuel subsidies and almost total lack of government pressure for fleets to switch or for new buyers to choose electric.

• Poor economic conditions at launch - combined with the above, EV trucks launched well after EV cars, at a higher price point than ICE trucks, and at a time when most consumers were cash-strapped. With both options available, very few were able to afford the theoretically cheaper-to-run EV truck.

• Culture wars & confused marketing - you touched on this but gave it too much emphasis IMO. EV trucks just got brought in to generic culture war garbage. The people who like EVs unfairly don’t like trucks; the people who like trucks unfairly don’t like electric drivetrains. Ford and GM blth made cars they din’t knlw how to sell. The Cybertruck was incidentally the one truck to get past this, just not in a way I think most of us would find agreeable.

I’ve been flamed on here enough times to know better but damn if they weren’t a guilty pleasure for me. Only a company with hundreds of billions in undeserved and unearned capital could put something like that into full production and it was the single speck of shared taste I found myself having with Elon Musk.

Mississippi doesnt actually have a method for recounting elections. Ballots are destroyed immediately after they’re counted. Whatever is determined is the only outcome, this is also why tallying takes so long

What are you using it for? It’s been fine enough every time I’ve ever been, but ill also disagree with the OOP meme. I reckon that about 70% of signage relevant to a tourist has English text

I belive the term used by Lars von Trier was “confusingly large”

I’m against single-use memes. I found this one on the ground and decided to reuse it

You sly dog, you almost got me talking about Platner again

Google Lens is basically irl subtitles

Agreed. Had CvA been cancelled first, it’s likely we’d all be watching Batgirl now

I can’t think of any other more plausible answer. The past 2 years have been nothing but a double standards of rules. If you’re confused and think it’s not fair, that’s the point. They just don’t care.
