With all the money I can save with the plummeting resale value, I could afford a flare and dually tire kit. Kinda bad ass. Are the flares glue-on?

^^ Steve, those flares actually make the CyberTruck look Good/Decent.

I sure hope they are NOT glued on, that is a disaster waiting to happen

But somehow still smarter than someone who would buy a Cybertruck.

It is the ugliest vehicle ever to make it to production…and it’s not even close.
The Pontiac Aztec is now in a distant second place.

Saw one towing an Airstream trailer on the highway yesterday. It was the slowest thing on the road.

Did Ford, Chevy, Dodge miss something in their quest to build great trucks? No. The Tesla is a contrived fashion statement for douche bags.

Even IF this was possible, (It's not!), It doesn't help.

Funny, I just revisited this thread, and it has now turned into a meme group.

I always thought the CT was ridiculous but the "fans" (to keep this out of PARF) thought it was amazing and the CEO of the company was forward thinking. Oh my how times have changed. I still think the CT is the answer to a question that was never asked. The polygons used are from the 80's.

Who are the “Fans”?
Honestly, you kinda answered your own question since it was never asked, and other than the crazy antics of the CT and not just the CEO but those who actually bought them.
I think people thought they might get better or at least grow on them, which it has, like a genital wart.
Since pretty much everything about the CT is pretty much like 70s episode of SNL, so it’s meme time between the pictures of real CTs, and the crazy issues they have, to keep it out of Parf.

I'm thinking he has the wheels on backwards/ on the wrong sides.
They look wrong.

Just not magnificent ... and certainly not real...
