    This YouTuber is grumpy that all the reviews were done by the big reviewers on YouTube? I mean, yeah. They have the most subscribers. That’s how marketing works.

    And having watched a lot of those reviews, I did not walk away with the impression that the CyberTruck was something reviewers were recommending. Seems like the general consensus was, it’s like being able to drive a silly floor concept from a car show. It does a couple interesting things, but it’s not practical, probably not entirely safe, and it’s a lot of style over substance. If you have cash to burn, and want to drive a SubZero fridge, go for it.

    If you actually want a practical EV truck, the Lightning or R1T are probably much better options in just about every way, with the one exception being charging - those trucks only have access to the 15k NACS Telsa chargers, not the full 55k.







  • That’s one of many factors.

    Lots of people have studied this over the years, many people also attribute this to the GI Bill, the post WWII economic boom, Racism / White Flight, the National Highway Act, and social norms that developed after man Americans grew accustomed to the concept of suburban life.

    It’s a complex things that was fueled by war, money, affordable land, cars, big roads, etc.
