What the truck?

Most of us have experienced the excitement of getting your first car. Many save up for one automobile their heart is set on. But what if I told you there’s a vehicle drivers choose out of their own free will to drive that is not only expensive and ugly, but doesn’t even work!

Meet the Tesla truck, literally a refrigerator on wheels. It’s made of stainless steel, which claims to save money despite its price tag of up to $120,000 or more depending on the model and if it needs repairs. Instead of gas, you charge the battery for less money and less environmental impact. There are other parts of the truck, however, that are said to be a pollutant, not to mention the battery can overheat and explode. Also, most of the people who I see own a cyber truck have another gas guzzling vehicle which defeats the point.

“CarCultureCo,” a creator online, did a durability test on its design. Just with his two hands alone, he could rip or damage most of the car. During Tesla’s own demo for the truck’s “armor glass” that they claimed withstood decent force, it literally shattered when someone threw a ball at it. Not to mention, many of the technologies like “steer by wire,” which doesn’t connect your steering wheel to your wheels but rather by a sensor, has been proven to be malfunctioning and dangerous for some. For an offroad, futuristic, and “military grade” durable vehicle, it checks none of those boxes.

It’s gotten to the point where I think around 70% of my closet is thrifted, handed-down clothes or discounted clothes. I am hardly […]
