If they'd bought a beater car and asked their dad to help troubleshoot it, they'd actually learn something about the field they're insecure about.

They just summed up marketing. Buy your way into who you want to be
I dunno, I'm into tech and I wouldn't touch something that poorly designed.

I refuse to believe that real people paid for this. These guys must just be actors acting out midlife crises to convince us that the cyberttruck is real.
This makes me remember Sweden in the nineties, everh 40yo man and their fucking grandmother just had to buy a ... Harley Davidson motorcycle!
I mean if you want an anchor to your boat there are way cheaper ones. :-)
The thing was that those people wanted to be a rebel so hard, they shelled out astronomical amounts on that crappy bike (one story out of many; my lil bro got one in like 2010 and it broke down so much it was just comical, once he got it to this magic known harley mechanic who did a crazy overhaul, it broke down on the way home.).
So they was working in front of a computer all day, or serving people or whatever, and they were not rebels (!) but Harley Davidson could fix that. Like the cybertruck makes you a craftsman. Just like that.
Sweden was having more harley davidson motorcycles per capita than any other country in the world at that time. Guess insecurity sells.
/Story off
Just pay a contractor too much money to teach you such skills? It's not like they lack the money to do so... unless they spent it all on a truck
I'm not even by any accounts manly, and arguably a techie type, but I've been able to carry bookcases on top of my sedan, and boards sticking out the back trunk, using just rope, bungees, or Ikea twine, multiple times without any issue. Driving down highways even.
You don't need to be hoo-rah to secure a damn load, you just have to brain
I can fit 90% of what a truck can in my hatchback. I can fit 150% of what a truck can in my work van. As an added bonus my shit won't get wrecked by a passing rain shower.
I just checked for fun, the bed is 4X6' I can fit a 4X8 in my minivan and close the hatch. haha
Yes, it's basically like wearing a t-shirt with a print of some subculture, eg some band, or physical work reference, or racism, etc - what ppl want to be associated with in public, but have to fake it (real ones don't need no advertising).
Except it's not just a shirt & they are very vocal about it.
Hmm, so it's a conflict between having a sigma right-wing male ideal and not living up to it?
I don't pity the fools, I just point and laugh. Do you know how much therapy you could afford with the money they wasted on their Cyber Rusts? Or a few trades courses? Or maybe a basic physics class for the but in this photo lol
“Outside their domain of experience”
Maybe more like nobody is around them to tell them that a) it’s not going to work, b) it’s a bad idea, c) nobody to dump the idea on to do the actual work of solving the problem that the originator can then take credit for or blame when it doesn’t work.
