With a little luck, all the top-tier HATERZ on social media are gonna be so busy discussing Henry Kissinger that the inevitable ‘beta release’ glitches will slip under the news radar for a few precious days…
Nope, but it’s sure as hell gonna be something you see more often https://t.co/rONf17BJnT

In fairness, I did run across one article (sorta) praising the cybertruck — NYMag‘s business columnist says “Tesla’s Cybertruck Is Striking — and Poorly Timed”:
In the spirit of disclosure, I’m going to admit that I think driving a Tesla Cybertruck would absolutely rule. It’s a fast, weird fantasy car — the kind of concept that usually doesn’t make its way off the Javits Center showroom floor and onto the road. Yes, it looks like something out of a 1980s Ridley Scott movie and it’s made by Elon Musk, but at least you can tell it apart from every other passenger vehicle. Part of what makes it fun is how ostentatious the thing is. It’s the opposite of the anonymous wealth signifiers preferred by the Succession class and the tech titans who control our lives. (Parking it, though, would be a nightmare.) On Thursday, Tesla will start to deliver Cybertrucks after four years of delays and production snafus. As much as I want to own or even just drive one, it’s difficult to imagine a worse environment for introducing a new electric vehicle that is the result of four years and billions of dollars of development. No matter how many people secretly covet a Cybertruck, it faces a very rocky road. As anyone who has seen a certain viral video knows, Musk and Tesla investors may find themselves stranded by the Cybertruck.
If the Tesla Cybertruck has this much trouble getting up this tiny little hill, it's going to be toast in half of San Francisco. Sound on to hear it struggle. Can't imagine anyone actually taking this off road.pic.twitter.com/MX59oHIUPu
