Cybertrucks are a novel concept in electric vehicles (EVs). In the imagination of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, drivers will one day even be able to use amphibious Cybertrucks as boats. Yet as with the rollout of EVs throughout the industry, Tesla’s Cybertruck rollout has been met with mixed reaction.

Straight Arrow News contributor Jordan Reid narrates an alarming personal experience she had with two early Cybertrucks. Reid admits, however, that her experience should not be all that surprising, given her impression of Elon Musk and his fans.

The other day I was driving along a windy canyon road on my way back from school drop-off. The sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, and I was in a truly excellent mode. That is until I was promptly cut off by, not one, but two of Elon Musk’s space ranger truck things — you know, the car-trucks that look like an early sketch of the DeLorean. Like Mad Max, but the Mel Gibson version. Yeah, so these trucks aren’t out yet, or at least definitely weren’t at the time that I saw two of them on the road — I checked.

And they weren’t just driving, they were speeding. They were crisscrossing in front of each other, they were cutting myself and others off. They were dangling out of the windows. And they even, this is true, went side by side through a single-lane tunnel on a winding canyon road that is literally known for fatalities. So I slowed to an absolute crawl and waited for these wackadoos to get well ahead of me, and then I just put the whole Tesla Cybertruck incident out of my mind, until I saw this Top Gear video.

See, Topgear.com apparently had the opportunity to send two writers out to test drive these things around Southern California in anticipation of their release. And in between breaking more laws than I can count on all of my fingers and toes, they found time to sing the praises of this overblown, attention-seeking scourge on humanity, by which I mean Elon Musk, and, okay, also the Cybertruck.
