“It does suck, because everybody kind of makes fun of the Cybertruck. To the outside person, it’s kind of weird, it’s ugly, whatever. Once you actually get in it, drive it, you realize it’s pretty frickin’ cool,” he says. “It’s kind of been sad, because I’ve been trying to prove to people that it’s a really awesome truck that’s not falling apart, and then mine starts to fall apart, so it’s just… Yeah, it’s kind of unfortunate and sad.”
No joke these cars were pretty good. Short haul, long haul, as long as you had good parts, it ran great. And I took the drunken workers as a joke. In reality they were made pretty well. People were driving 30+ year old Trabants in the 90s with no issues as long as they could find parts. As genuine parts disappeared, people stopped driving them.
