    I don’t think it deserves dunking.

    Feels like its just consumerist quick-fix nonsense. Even - hypothetically speaking - if you could get a hundred of these clumsy fire-prone death traps into Ashville and hooked up to the grid, why would you not do this with portable generators designed to provide power instead of a bunch of vehicles that would exhaust half their charge just reaching the location.

    It reminds me of Musk’s own brand of grandstanding. “Don’t worry, we’re going to invent a personal submarine to save some trapped cave divers! Don’t worry, we’re going to build tunnels all through the bedrock of your neighborhood to provide mass transit! Don’t worry, we’re going to end censorship once I buy Twitter and rebrand it The Everything App.”

    The Cybertruck obsession and common sense that’s detached from reality is obviously concerning

    It’s not the obsession with your toy truck so much as the endless self-promotion and hustler-inspired consumerism. This could have been anything properly branded and promoted - electric trucks, cryptocurrency, Rick & Morty surplus apparel - and you’d have guys like this insisting it was a panacea. Just whatever’s trending on social media.

    “Hey, maybe Chappell Roan and Moo Deng can hold a benefit concert” sure to fill the space soon enough.
