“It does suck, because everybody kind of makes fun of the Cybertruck. To the outside person, it’s kind of weird, it’s ugly, whatever. Once you actually get in it, drive it, you realize it’s pretty frickin’ cool,” he says. “It’s kind of been sad, because I’ve been trying to prove to people that it’s a really awesome truck that’s not falling apart, and then mine starts to fall apart, so it’s just… Yeah, it’s kind of unfortunate and sad.”

    From what i’ve seen they genuinely look like DEEPLY fun hop in and buzz about cars to dick around in the countryside. I saw a guy dothe impossible…

    Actually put professionally made parts in one.

    I cannot drive due to no depth perception. I would love to try one of those little guys out. There’s next to nothing on them to break and what can break can be rednecked back together. I get WHY the line fell out of fashion, but they really are the eastern bloc version of the beetle and I can respect that.

      That’s interesting. My mother was blind in one eye and so had no depth perception. I’m pretty sure she rarely drove me anywhere after I got my license and I was the youngest in the family; my dad did most of the teaching-how-to-drive so I guess I never had cause to consider what impact a lack of depth perception might have had on driving. She did drive, though, and never got into an accident or even had a ticket in my lifetime.

      If she hadn’t told me, I might never have known about her visual issues. I think once or twice I might have seen her miss when trying to put a straw in a cup or similar things, but that could happen to anyone. She did sometimes ask me to switch to her other side when out walking so that she could see me, but navigated crowds without any issues I observed.

      Sorry, I didn’t mean to get off topic. I was just considering how it might have impacted her in ways I might not have thought about before.
