No matter what angle I look at the Cyber Truck, I just can't seem to understand its reason for being. If it was Elon's vanity project, why make it a production vehicle? Why not just make one for himself and kit it out with all the bell's and whistles he wants? If it was an earnest attempt at making a luxury car, why skimp so much on build quality? Wealthy people tend to buy durable goods of the highest quality because money is no object for them. He already had an uphill battle to fight being a fairly new brand on the market, so it seems incredibly short sighted to screw over those wealthy people who decided to take a risk trying out his vehicle. If it was supposed to be a consumer car with lots of compromises and cut backs, why market it as a luxury vehicle? I don't think people would be nearly as annoyed with the Cybertruck if it only cost as much as a Corolla. If it was some sort of financial scam designed to lure in investors and make money through speculation and Tesla stock shorting, why even release it at all? Why go to the expense of actually making these pieces of crap instead of jerking people around with it "coming soon"? I mean, it can't be fear of lawsuits or legal repercussions. Billionaires own DC and I doubt Elon would see justice even if the truck had an AI that routinely went rogue and started running people down GTA-style. I just don't get it.
Not really, you have to pay for installation and as someone mentioned they don't give it unless you pay the installation. So it's absolutely not pro bono.
@@Namminamm Actually if you have the know how you could do it yourself as seen on youtube videos. Or you could sell it as it does come with the truck without installation. As in the truck bed in a box.
@@NightmareForge Not pro bono is having to go to a smelly gas station and pay for it when you can charge at home and get paid smart charge rewards for charging overnight.
@@starshipdriver8536 Spin spin spin it to win it as they say. But to translate your words. Instead of paying at the pump for a gas powered fuel you pay in the electric bill to a coal/natural gas powered source. That relies on government subsidies that are paid with your taxes to manage.
I think you nailed it.

Damn this is beautifully written
sry you just aren’t hip enough
I think it was ment to be a luxury car but a second guy made it really cheap to make (or Elon forgot what he was doing halfway through)
not only is Elon vain, he's also deeply stupid
When I look at that thing on the road I see what was a cool idea on paper in the 80s.it looks so fragile now when I see it on the highway
ohhh, now I understand what a bag-holder is
Omfg
When your finger at comedy is smeared it shit
The wall connector does come with the foundation series cybertruck.
You need to pay extra to have it installed. They refuse to give you the wall connector unless you pay them to install it for you.
