They used to make fun of us…

[Kryptek]

Until 2027 when the petroleum industry lost its grasp on the world and the pumps ran dry..

We all knew it was inevitable but not for another 30-50 years, geopolitical collapse was never in the cards for many and nothing was ever the same

You are running MAD MAX. Relax. Enjoy cleaner air.

Was getting truck detailed, guy approached and said “I’ve done nothing but rail on these things, can I see it?” I said go sit in it, in the front as the back doors were open. He was all praises, and admired the space in the cabin as he thought it would be more confining.

One less making fun…

Those gas prices though…

I'm just happy for the quiet smooth ride.

This is called “contempt prior to investigation”.

Common and human nature.

Little by little Tesla has proven these meme worshipping NPC’s wrong.

“No crumple zones!!!”… turned out to be the safest truck on the road

“Warranty voided if you take it through a car wash!!!”… it has a car wash mode to keep the wipers from turning on and the charge port from opening

“They’re rusting already!!!”… complete lie

“They’re $250,000 rich guy show off toys!!!”... The AWD was leasing as low as $729 a month. Not nothing but that’s like fully equipped minivan territory.

“Raccoons literally confuse these with dumpsters and try to break in!!!”… one instance where a guy kept food in the bed

“A YouTube guy said the bumper falls off if you tow anything!!!”… just not true

“Terrible in the snow!!!”… I’ve personally driven through 2 feet of snow like it wasn’t there. Materially better than my last truck


…Many will eventually forget their original stance. Some will continue to dig in and find any last thing

The $59k CT’s will do a lot for the truck. Seeing more of them on be road people’s lizard brains will get desensitized to them.

Don’t forget:

• “It will drive you straight into a tree”
• “You can’t escape after an accident”
• “Your erection will last longer than 3 hours”

OK that last one might be true

Imagine the reaction if he actually drove around in it on FSD.

My experience has been that people don't know my CT is actually a pickup truck until they see it with the bed open, which is rare. Now that entry level CTs will be everywhere with their beds exposed, people will see it's really a pickup truck. Then they will picture themselves towing, going to home depot, helping your sister move her couch, etc.

They still do, but they used to as well.

 

[Willinak]

Funny, I get more women that want to see it. I think men are too macho to indulge.

Haha ya. Been back and forth to Home Depot for lumber etc. 6 TIMES people be like

“Oh it’s a truck”.

Tesla needs some PR lol

I was kind of a dick in one instance, I asked one what he thought it was. Was just dumbfounded at the same question so much
