Fair to say the rear passengers of this QX80 thinks the Tesla truck is a complete failure. They showed their disapproval with one finger.

BTW, I passed this same exact Tesla truck 2x. Once before I stopped at Buc-ee's for breakfast. Then again down the road after leaving Buc’ees.

I wonder why Tesla doesn’t put a new body on the Cybertruck to make it less hideous. Overall people love trucks and how it drives but the styling is very controversial. Maybe make another version that has new front and rear design and also offer paint options.

Some look quite decent and eye-catching, if you ask me, and a smart way to advertise their business.
I can never get my phone out quick enough to take a picture, but one of these days I'm gonna catch one and will post here if I do...

As promised I finally caught one using it as a billboard. This isn’t as colorful as some I’ve seen… think hot pink one — but still making the most of the ugliest truck ever‼️


At least this is for a good cause…

I wouldn't be so sure about that, unless you're working for them.

First car that went by look like a Prius C

2nd one was definitely Accord

Maybe the Prius and Accord were running better tires

It's also in a snow bank at the side of the road going from a stop. I've seen all kinds of cars and SUVs get stuck on an icy mountain road and need gravel put under their tires, once they are moving it's fine. I've also seen a Prius not able to go up an icy driveway because of TC which stops sending power to the wheels. You guys base your lives around one CT getting stuck lol

You beat me to it. No story here. The cars driving by are in the traffic lane maybe plowed but definitely worn down by traffic.

pretty sad that you spend so much time looking for hyundai recalls and negative things to post about tesla.
