It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.

Maybe it makes me a bad person but I'd love one, even just for a few years.

I ride 20km to uni each way, eat less than 1 meat meal a week on average and am highly interested in solar/renewable energies but fuck me I'd love a big truck... specifically one bigger than everyone elses.

They do appeal to some carnal desire ngl. I wanted a Cybertruck when it was first announced just because it was big and garish (and I didn't yet know Elon that sucks). Thank god it's taking so long to come out or I might have actually bought one.

Go drive one around in a video game, all the fun without actually having to be an asshole.

If I wanted to drive a big truck I wouldn't get one of these. I'd go for something like an OKA.

only a 4 cylinder so no v8 noises

gvm so high you’ll need a light ridged license and a BAC of 0.00.

Your not going to earn the respect of all the blokes down at the pub if you go to show off your new truck and only drink raspberry lemonade.

I'm sure they'll be fine, lmao.
