Well, I suppose it's technically less ugly than the cybertruck.

I hate it. But I love that I have something new to hate. It may grow on me. The new Frontier did. This one might too. I hope it does. 

Retro designs of 20 years ago? But the New Beetle, the new MINI, the T-Bird, the PT Cruiser, the 5th Gen Mustang... they all came out in... [checks notes]... crap. I’m old.

I’m not mad at it. In fact, it’s a refreshing change from all of the trucks with their giant gaping maws that look like the driver wants their truck to literally eat you.

Personally I’m all for this sort of adventurous design directions in trucks. Cars, both sedans and coupes, among whatever further sub-genres you can lump cars into, have had relative luxury of going in virtually any design direction people are willing to buy. Trucks on the other hand have an “expected” look about…

Or, as we learned from a previous article, you don’t even need a gun. You can just peel the windows off, drag the occupants out, and beat them to death at your leisure.

Scout coming back is the best thing of the decade, and my response is:

I feel like if you bought a cybertruck, one of the things you hate that you should list is yourself. 

And, again, it’s only the “best selling” if you think Tesla isn’t gaming perception by people using registrations = sales.  People are taking delivery of Cybertrucks with expired registrations from months ago.

Or aim for, you know, the windows, where the assassin can see who he’s aiming for, and make it much more likely tonot only to go through, but actually continuing the trajectory.

Anyone who feels better about it stopping some unspecified 9mm isn’t in danger. I imagine a targeting assassin is going to use something with more power and most mass shooters seem to use rifles. I guess it could still slow or deflect a more powerful round, but so does glass and it could deflect the wrong way. To also…

If the battery dies, so do you

I certainly understand not wanting to be associated with Musk. If a repairman or contractor showed up at our house with a Deplorian (love that nickname), he be politely asked to leave. If not for his politics, then for his bad judgment in buying one.

In the video, he talks about how he’s using this as a business truck with his business name on the side. A year ago, that probably was a good idea, but at 16:40 he talks about how Elon has made that a very bad idea.

“I drive through the ‘hood’ 2-4x a year, so I bought a 100k$ POS that’s (air quotes) bulletproof. If it’s good for Mars, it’s good for Englewood.” 

Are you going to use it to hold the window trim in place?

That “pros” list is pretty weak.

You just wait until I put a “Calving Peeing On Your Brand” sticker on the back window of my vehicle. That’ll show you. 

DepLorean.
