People were dunking on the Cybertruck before Musk made that sharp turn into a political lightning rod around when COVID hit. I recall seeing discussion about how silly the car is, even during the height of his popularity.

People who are uninformed were trying to dunk. Dismissing its aerodynamics when it has a CD of .34; and decent efficiency per battery size.

Ultimately ignorant terminally online people complain and dismiss what is the best selling ev truck.

You can disagree, but you would be objectively wrong.

It is a truck in name only. Hardly usable as a truck

Some of us need trucks purely to move dirtbikes and snowmobiles and it will do that.

Add in the requirement of "electric" and there are cheaper options but none that are cheap that are also allowed to be sold in the USA (remains to be seen how much you can get away with temporarily moving a BYD Shark over the border from Mexico and never bringing it back)
