Like nearly all gigantic trucks driven in cities (and almost never off road), though the cybertruck is a new low in likelyhood to kill innocent pedestrians. The most accurate term for this phenomenon is either Emotional Support Vehicle or Gender Affirming Vehicle.

I'm a leftist and would definitely buy a cyber truck if I could park it easily

“Virtue signaling but for all the worst virtues” pretty aptly describes the modern American right wing.

They themselves describe it as doing self-destructive things to “own the libs,” but it means the same thing. Do maladaptive things for the signaling value.

There *are* a bunch of people who've bought them because they genuinely think they look cool.

I ... do not agree with that opinion ... but people are allowed to have different taste than I do, even if I think theirs is terribad.

CT owner here. Maybe I’m just more boring than the usual person who gets this truck, but my reasoning for getting one was a lot more simple than this. “My Teslas have been great, this one looks cool, my family can benefit from having a truck, I’ll put down a deposit!”

Not sure which group I was supposed to be buying a ticket into. Around where I live the group seems to be Asian men with families, but I was already a member of that group before the truck :)
