100,000 people join group to mock Tesla Cybertruck
An online forum dedicated to mocking the Tesla Cybertruck has attracted more than 110,000 members following four recalls of the electric truck.
The r/CyberStuck channel on Reddit is now among the top 2 per cent of sub-Reddits on the site, less than a year after the controversial truck hit the market.
Tesla has not revealed how many Cybertrucks have been shipped to customers, but the most recent recall in April suggests it was less than 4,000 between November 2023 and April 2024.
Describing itself as “the place to post images of Cybercucks stuck in their Cybertrucks”, the community encourages members to share images and videos of Tesla’s newest vehicle breaking down or failing to cope with off-road situations.
“No defending this hideous piece of road garbage,” the forum’s rules state
“I am convinced that this vehicle was designed by people who have no truck experience, for people who have never owned a truck, so they can do ‘truck things’ they read about on the internet,” the top comment reads.
Other posters criticise the boxy design of the “low polygon truck”, while others claim it is unable to perform tasks to the same level as other off-road vehicles, such as driving on sand or ice.
