It's ok for you to say quietly in your head "I'm not the intended audience for this product" and move on. You don't need to embarrass yourself like this.

Much more embarrassing to be the intended audience for such a ruse.

Ruse. Most people don't buy truck because they need a truck, they just like trucks. People who only drive their trucks in the city are not being tricked, they just buy what they want.

I would argue that it's not what they like but rather what advertisers have told them they need to prove they're tough or masculine or important. I keep getting adverts on Youtube from Jeep/Chrysler and they're some of the most fragile ego appealing cringe ads I've ever seen.

Oh give me a break. You're so brainwashed that you don't see the marketing bs EV manufacturers pull is the same thing and you're out here touting there products FOR THEM.

You need PROVE you're saving the planet by mining precious metals out of Africa with slaves. But, hey you've got a "green" vehicle so who cares.

Who's the actual audience? Elites that want to pretend they're saving the planet with an oversized vehicle they get in after they just got done flying their massive personal jet around?

Why are you embarrassed by reality?
