    I watched the latest Donut video on this vehicle and there’s SO many people replying to comments critical of the cybertruck with the biggest cope. My favourites are:

    “many cars get recalled this is normal!”

    “The recall isn’t a big issue, Toyota had a recall a while ago for the same reason!”

    “New technology always has problems!”

    It’s pure bazingamobile cope

      “New technology always has problems!”

      I love how they conflate things. Yes, it’s true that there might be a potentially dangerous problem that could in theory happen in a car like a Toyota. No amount of checking the design, testing, etc can find every possible issue. But the Cybertruck’s horrible “insta-full throttle death machine” issue that was no doubt due to boneheaded design and inadequate testing.

      And if Toyota made a similar level of fuck up - I bet they’d do something extraordinary like permanently recall all the vehicles in question and give the owners a huge refund. They wouldn’t want their brand to be associated with insta-full throttle death machines. But Elon has no media department at Tesla so it’s no biggie. I bet the Cybertruck is already ruining relationships and marriages. Imagine how things are after the owners have their trucks back.

      “Cyber time! Ready to ride again? I can’t wait to out on a family outing again. It’s time to go to the beach. Dipshit Jr. and River - where are you?”

      “Stop yelling. We’ll go to the beach. But in my car. And I told them we’ll go pretty soon but now right now. First of all - I won’t have my children riding around in that death machine.”

      “But honey! New technology always has problems!”

      “We need to talk.”
