    I will laugh my ass off when this thing breaks down and catches on fire during their “tactical response” after someone throws a water bottle at it.

      I’m going to laugh my ass off when someone figures out how to track them all in real time, and shares it on a publicly accessible website.

      The first casualty of those battery fires is probably going to be someone handcuffed and locked in the back seat.

        On this planet, we have a concept called ‘humor,’ which involves exaggeration and absurdity for the purpose of getting a laugh. I hope this comes to your own world someday.

          repeat falsehoods often enough and people believe them, even if you originally mean them as a well-intentioned and obvious joke

            Sorry… are people repeating the falsehood that Cybertrucks catch fire if you throw a water bottle at them?
