Obviously I can't take part in this as there are, to my knowledge, so far none of these in Ireland (may be none in Europe) - though I did see my first ever Tesla just before Christmas parked around the corner from me: bet that didn't last long here! But the idea is to, if you can, and if you're interested, snap any pictures of these monstrosities you see when you're out and about. Maybe we can make up fun stories about the kind of people we believe would buy and drive these ATV (Awfully Tacky Vehicles). Just a bit of fun really.
Also, some of you may not have got my reference in another thread to these being Gerry Anderson-type in design. Well, here's what he called SHADO 2 (SHADO, for those who don't know or are too young or don't care, stood for Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation. Yeah.)

I've only seen one of the Tesla Cybertrucks on the road so far. Saw it around 8 months ago. Ugliest vehicle I've ever seen on four wheels. It passed by me in the opposite lane of traffic, heading in the opposite direction. Haven't seen one since.
Aaron and I are currently on our way over to my mom's house and we just passed one, both of our first sightings. 💀
Jesus Christ they're even uglier in real life.
i see them every day now. hate it here
As they say, pictures or it didn't happen. :laughing:

I learned a new word today!
"Homologate": the granting of approval for something by an authority and NOT a small entrance through which only gay men can pass.
I see cybertrucks from time to time and I don't dislike them. When I was was a kid in the 80s that's pretty much what I thought future cars were going to look like, so I appreciate feeling like I'm living in that world for a moment. Then the moment passes and I think about what a jerkwad Musk is.

The cybertruck is part of the future Dire Straits dreamed of.
