The one part that's a little bit messed up is that most people driving the cyber truck right now ordered it way back before Musk started his election interference and turning Twitter into a 4Chan styled financial black hole.
It's easy to forget that, in the public eye, Musk once stood for eliminating petroleum dependence and science-based futurism. What a sad turn when the mask came fully off.
We have known he was a blowhard lying crapsack for years prior to the cybertruck preorders.
Elon didn't stand for anything except making money. Maybe the founders of Tesla did, but he just did the marketing.
But they did order it after seeing what it would look like. Back then, I was still pretty excited about Tesla, right up until that thing showed up on stage. You could see it on everyones faces at the event, "is this actually what they went with? Some kind of prank? Is there still time for this to get a major overhaul, or is it locked in?" Basically, everyone had the same facial expression as they would have if the big reveal was that a toilet was brought on stage and Elon was about to poop in front of them. Can argue, he kinda did.
The only messed up part about that is that people "preordered" an overpriced, dumpsteresque, rolling mid-life crisis and then hung on to their reservation in the ensuing time either without following any of the news (including what a disaster the cybertruck was) or followed it and went ahead anyway with the $100k instant regret purchase.
Anyone dumb enough to consider the idea of spending house-loads of money on this stainless steel prep table and then going through with it years later deserves every bit of ridicule they receive.
The $100 preorder was refundable. They could have pulled out at any time.
