I hate Tesla now but that is a shit comment. It’s like when people say “real America” is in the farm as if people in cities - where most Americans live - are worthless.

    From the MKBHD review of the F-150 Lightning that I saw, Chris Farley's cousin may be right. The F-150 Lightning seems designed to act as a giant mobile battery to power a tradesman's tools while on the job and seems overall designed to support a Contractor on the job. Nothing has been reported of the Cybertruck where it can do the same.

    The Cybertruck looks and feels like a status symbol.
