    It has to be a sand race because the Cybertruck gets completely disabled from moisture.

      I bet Musk thought he was a genius that could revolutionize trucks, just like Apple revolutionized smartphones.
      I admit I still think the model S was pretty cool originally, but now there are better offers IMO, BMW and Audi have some very nice upper middle class cars, that I doubt very much Tesla can match the quality of. If money is not a problem, I’d go with a Mercedes. For a cheaper practical everyday car, I’d go with VW or Hyundai.

      But goddam I just tried my neighbors BMW I4- eDrive 40, that’s an amazing car with great range IMO. I’ve never been in a car that was that silent smooth and comfortable, and yet had stellar grip and handling. Even when you fired it up with everything it has, it was still quiet, you just felt the pressure of acceleration in the back. 😋

        Turns out its just hot wheels for man-children.

        Like 90% of the point of hot wheels was looking cool, so I have to respectfully disagree

          My six year old thinks it looks cool. If you adjust for hot wheels demographics I think they’re golden

        That’s what the majority of (sedans masquerading as) trucks are used for anyway.

        Similar to, but not quite the same as the kind of man-child that buys an F-150 on the off chance they need to haul a dresser once every 4 years. Seriously though, if each one of these buyers keeping US truck bloat in style bought a motorcycle instead to cement their self-worth, traffic would be eliminated in most US cities. That’s not possible due to many factors, I know, but it must be said motorcycles are just way cooler.

      Yes, this race was already lost on paper. The execution frankly was likely just an excuse for some folks to dust off their Maga hats and crack open some beers.
