Well, let me tell ya, this here Cybertruck thing, it’s somethin’ else. Folks are makin’ a whole lotta fuss about it, and let me tell ya why.
First off, this truck, it don’t look like no truck I ever seen. Looks more like somethin’ outta them sci-fi movies my grandson watches. All them angles and pointy bits… it’s like a triangle on wheels, I tell ya. They say it’s tough, made of that fancy stainless steel, but I seen tougher stuff on the farm. And that windows test, goodness gracious, when that fella threw that ball, what a mess, I thought it was supposed to be unbreakable. Everyone and their dog were laughing fit to burst. They said ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel this and strong and resistant that, seemed more like ultra-fragile paper-thin tin foil to me when that ball went through it, good grief.
- People are sayin’ it looks like a doorstop
- Others say it’s a cheese wedge on wheels
- And then there’s them that think it’s a fancy trash can.
Now, I ain’t no engineer, but I know a thing or two about cars, been drivin’ ’em since before you were born. And this here Cybertruck, it just seems… well, unnecessary. It’s like them fancy city folks got too much money and don’t know what to do with it. They call it a “pickup truck,” but I ain’t seen it pick up nothin’ but attention, mostly the laughin’ kind.
They say it’s electric, which I guess is alright. But what happens when that battery runs out in the middle of nowhere? You gonna plug it into a cow? I’ll stick with my old gas guzzler, thank you very much. At least I know it’ll get me where I need to go, and I can fix it with a wrench and a prayer, not some fancy computer doodad.
But the jokes, oh, the jokes are the best part. I heard one fella say that raccoons keep tryin’ to climb inside, thinkin’ it’s a newfangled dumpster. Can you imagine? And another one said it looks like somethin’ a five-year-old drew with a ruler. That one made me chuckle. Folks are really creative when it comes to pokin’ fun, that’s for sure. The internet, my grandson showed me, is just full of these cybertruck jokes and cybertruck memes. He says they even call it the Tesla Cybertruck fail and it has become one of the most famous fails of all time. He showed me one and I had a good belly laugh.
And let’s not forget the price. They say this thing costs more than my house! For a truck? I could buy a whole herd of cows for that kinda money. And what for? So I can haul hay in style? I think I’ll stick with my old pickup, it ain’t pretty but it gets the job done and didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. They say it’s powerful and offered in dual and tri-motor. What does that even mean? All I need is one motor, and a strong one at that, none of this fancy double triple motor stuff. Just give me somethin’ that works!
But, I reckon some folks like it. My grandson says they sellin’ ’em like hotcakes, even with all the problems and the funny looks. Guess there’s a market for everything these days, even a truck that looks like it came from outer space. My grandson said that they sold 16,692 Cybertrucks in the U.S in the third quarter, that’s a lot of strangely shaped trucks if you ask me, maybe the city folks do have more money than sense.
So, here’s my take on this Cybertruck. It’s a fancy, expensive toy for folks with too much money and not enough sense. It might be tough and it might be electric, but it sure ain’t practical for folks like me. And the jokes? Well, they’re the best part. At least we can all have a good laugh at somethin’ that costs more than a farm, right?
I guess time will tell if this Cybertruck thing is a hit or a miss. But for now, I’ll stick with my old truck and keep on laughin’ at them jokes. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll see a raccoon tryin’ to climb into one someday. Now that would be a sight to see.
