“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.”

    So are they going to get these trash heaps off the road, or are we going to wait for a death/maiming caused by flying metal debris on the highway?

        Small pickups, like the tiny B2300 I have, were regulated out of existence because emissions limits are scaled partly by square-footage. It’s easier to meet emissions requirements with a giant truck than a small one so no one makes the small ones.

          That makes no sense, but then that’s what makes it more believable. Are you referring to US or Canadian regulations?

            AFAIK it was US regulations but no manufacture is going to make vehicles for just Canada when the US is 10x the market.

      I’ve been wondering the same thing. Buuut unfortunately their owner is rich and powerful enough that I doubt it’ll ever happen, though.
