Is this a joke? What else could be under that tarp? It even has a little flap for the plug.

I feel my ability to understand satire is being attacked by reality.

And I checked the comments and its a mix of musk riding:

“I don’t understand how people get so easily manipulated into hating someone that has done so much to change our life’s. Elon is great man and is doing great things for our country and uncovering so much corruption and honestly he needs more credit”

or thinking this is a joke:

“That’s not hiding the fact that there’s a swastikar under it”

    Lmao, this is obviously a troll.

    It’s not even satire, just straight up trolling.

    When you use the cover, guess what gets blocked? The cameras.

    So no more sentry mode.

    This just makes the cybertruck an even more attractive target.

    JFC that car is humongous. I could fit my small car twice under that tarp, with room to spare. Or that guy is tiny.

    Take it as a cautionary tale. Even though depraved money demons control every major aspect of social and news media and you are surrounded by a constant ear-splitting blare of fascistic brown-note, nobody will ever be better at lying to you than yourself.

    Finally something in which I can flex my specific knowledge of the human world!

    It is a joke: the shape of the truck is quite peculiar and covering hides none of its typical features.

    If you can tell what car it is even when it’s under a tarp it’s a bad design.

      That’s just false. Some of the most beautiful cars ever made have such distinct body lines that most car enthusiasts could easily pick them out even when covered in a tarp.

      Yes I picked one that is comically easy because of the giant wing, but I’m using it on purpose. Simply because a car can be identified while coverd doesn’t mean it’s bad design.

        Your example car looks like a bad design also. Some people may really like the truck design, I mean, think about all the crap that becomes popular.

        My point that nobody seems to be able to actually get is that if you are making a car it should look like a car.

        It shouldn’t look like a weird art installation because ultimately it has to work as a functional vehicle first and foremost. And part of that is not being in death trap to everyone in the local environment. There’s some reason these things aren’t sold in Europe.

        If a car is unsafe then it has failed in its most fundamental aspect of being a useful vehicle. Because a unsafe car is not a car that you can use.

        The only reason these things are allowed on the roads in the US is that the US don’t actually care about their own citizens well-being.
