    You’re still not comparing apples to apples. The people who actually need something like this (not this specifically because we both agree it’s bad) would not be using it to tow just a small trailer. I agree the cyber truck is bad but the comparison still makes no sense.

    If you believe them, Tesla says the cyber truck can have a 2500lb payload and tow 11000 lbs. That’s a whole different ballgame than your geo metro which officially doesn’t even have a towing capacity.

    Some people actually use trucks for their intended purposes instead of a status symbol.

        Can we stop pretending like literally everyone who owns a truck is just gonna use it to commute to the office and shuttle kids to soccer practice?

        Like you do realize there are people who actually do need trucks? Ever driven by a construction site? Ever had a lawn service come through your neighborhood? Or an HVAC service tech? I mean the list goes on…
