It's called laying bait. The thing about it is there is always someone who takes it. Unfortunately

That only way that works if no one replies, once someone replies, you can see the post. Anyway, I'm always curious what Jill is going to post next. You know the saying, curiosity killed the cat 🤣

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess something that they think sounds smart, but actually misses the point. OR anything that is negative about Tesla or Hyundai.

Cybertruck not able to get out of its parking space is worthy of mocking. Not because other vehicles wouldn't suffer the same, but in context of Tesla's marketing hype. Remember, Tesla's marketing slogan for CT is "Built for any planet" and “durable and rugged enough to go anywhere.” Begging to be mocked. Maybe the Moon with no snow/ice would be a better place for CT.

Similar to Elon's CT Armor Glass demonstration fail. Any standard vehicle glass would fail, likely worse, when tossing a metal ball at it but that's not the point. That two everyday passenger cars are seen driving by the struggling CT is funny. Actually, I think Elon has a better sense of humor about his products than some folks.

Buy a CT hoodie and get over it.

^^ It’s probably the traction control in the ON position. Should be able to lock all axles. Would be surprised if it does not have that ability. The stock tires should be more than adequate.

in the past i'd see maybe a cybertruck a week... now i see at least one every day so i guess they're still selling. i wouldn't be surprised if it outsells the ford f150 lightning.

You just defeated your own argument and admitted you're all about selective outrage.

To be fair when this happened to a Jeep Grand Cherokee years ago I thought it was hilarious…and I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

We have different definitions of “outrage”. None of us are outraged here.

This video of the Cybertruck is funny lol. When someone or something is smug about their superiority and they fall on their face doing what should’ve been the simplest thing…it’s funny. I mean to be fair, no snow on Mars, or the moon

As to the one with the Realtor ad, as a housing professional I can tell you that Cybertruck and that sign will compel exactly no one to call that guy!

Yeah, nobody is calling that guy. Lol

His truck lools like hell and his sign is in caution colors. 🫸🫷
