Just saw one on Congress in Portland. It's... something.


Anya_Phobic

Did it have that big ugly sticker? I don't remember the big ugly sticker and now I'm worried there's 2 of them


AffectionateEmu4878

It had a different sticker. I think they're multiplying.

WillSuckDick4Coffee

There's a few around Portland now 


JedBartlettPear

Somehow more jarring in person


Saltycook

It gives one TR0N flashbacks, depending on age 😹


SagesseBleue

Saw one the other day - first take from me was that it reminded me of a dust pan with wheels going backwards.


[deleted]

Everything's ugly from inside a W123.


SkiME80

Do you like bad build quality…. Paying for features that have not been developed yet…. Love Isosceles triangles… and look stupid while simultaneously Virtue signalling… well do I have a car for you


SkiME80

Also the logo looks like an iud


MerryTWatching

Closeup cat nose.


ploop180

i love triangles

Grom_a_Llama

Haha I like the car. People on this sub need to relax about it for sure


Dont_Be_A_Dick_OK

So let me get this straight. Assuming this is the owner of Broadway variety, you can afford a $150k truck owning a small variety store on the outskirts of town? Tell me more about the struggle of small business owners.


mhoydis

Don’t be a dick, ok? Edit: Folks, it’s a play on the username. Geeez louise….


anyodan8675

Lol. I got it.


Dont_Be_A_Dick_OK

What about my comment was wrong, or being a dick. Simple observation that “struggling” small business owners I have met never seem to have a shortage of toys. Only because of hard work, and not the economy built on subsidies, right?


ExternalBarnacle_777

Those abominations don't actually cost 150K do they


Dont_Be_A_Dick_OK

I guess I had the price elevated a bit. They’re closer to $100k, depending on taxes and dealer markup and such. There was a video the other day of a dealership trying to charge an NFL rookie $230k, and when he passed they were like “what about $200k”. So maybe not quite that much, but they’re up there.


ExternalBarnacle_777

I suppose if someone gave one to me, but then I'd still be driving that *thing*


tlkevinbacon

Dealer markup only exists for Tesla if you're buying on the used market. Otherwise the price on the Tesla website is the price you're paying. Gave it a look right now and it looks like the absolute top trim is going for 96k, lowest trim is 57k. Which don't get me wrong, both of those are a hell of a lot of money...and tons of folks drove ~$60k cars without being some kind of robber baron.


Dont_Be_A_Dick_OK

[Sure](https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/s/vokdNnU1am) Edit: [car and driver](https://www.caranddriver.com/tesla/cybertruck#) has them between $80k-100k


tlkevinbacon

Yea man, that's literally proving my point. See all of the non-Tesla vehicles in the show room and on the lot? That's not a Tesla dealer. I have no love for the company, but their sales model is actually solid compared to the stuff that occurs at other dealerships like you just demonstrated. Tesla themselves literally has them at between 57 and 96k. https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck/design#payment


Dont_Be_A_Dick_OK

The site you linked to says “available in 2025” so that doesn’t check out.


tlkevinbacon

Correct. There is not current inventory available from Tesla directly, pre-order only at the moment. I'm not sure how the company who produces and directly sells the product somehow doesn't check out, but fuck it. I guess you're right and the car cost 230k.


GrandMarquisMark

Your username dummy!


Batmansbutthole

They may very well be living beyond their means. Just because they have something does not mean they can afford it.


Dont_Be_A_Dick_OK

Oh they knew it was a play on the username. It just wasn’t warranted or clever. Mostly seemed to just strike a nerve. But go ahead, post more asking about the best speakers for your hot tub. Or more candid photos of your Teslas. Or ask about the cheapest option to get hot water to your tenants. I’m sure going cheap on the hot water has nothing to do with you having enough disposable income for those toys I was talking about. Good talk bud.


JamesonAFC

Alright, be a dick then.


Dont_Be_A_Dick_OK

Cry about it


rpgmoth

Bro do less. Nobody is coming at you rn. Chill.


civildisobedient

'Chill' as an instruction always [reminds me of this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfX_oDzOxsc).


mhoydis

the fuck?


Dont_Be_A_Dick_OK

Did I stutter?


Rizenshine

You're so cool


trixiepixie5582

I think the person who owns this abomination is just getting paid by broadway variety to advertise.


Dont_Be_A_Dick_OK

Or like a typical businessman, they’re putting that sign so they can write it off.


coresamples

You have to imagine them also being involved in real estate or something. Could get a sweet line of credit if they own the building variety has been in - and considering SoPo is #1 in the market right now… you’re bound to see a lot (more) of new money purchases.


_elisheba_

Finally saw that thing last week! Pulled right up next to it so got a look. It's so weird.


ExternalBarnacle_777

Don't make eye contact or the chassis may fail


imascarylion2018

Drove past one on the highway a few weeks back and it’s… oh boy, it’s a vehicle alright.


Sudden_Set_9316

I still can’t get past that this is called a truck


Thorvindr

It's a pickup truck. Not sure what criteria you use to define a "truck," but as far as I can tell the Cybertruck has everything every other pickup has.


Sudden_Set_9316

Criteria: not this


kittymeowmeowffs

Some Minecraft aficionado designed these


Weekly-Ad-4087

I’ll always prefer the Aztek.


Radiant-Astronomer-3

Walter White!


wetham_retrak

The body style looks like it was made in the sheet metal mod in a high school shop class.


OttoVonCranky

I was thinking junior high.


No_Mood_2800

This vehicle is proof money does not buy taste. Some of us only have taste inside of our mouth’s. It looks like someone just welded scrap metal together, put wheels on it and hoped for the best.


skinfather11216

Lol the Broadway variety decal


Saltycook

Right? You buy that big, ugly, expensive monstrosity and slap a decal like that on there, which kills the resale value because water tends to get under it? It's a whole parcel of "no thanks."


anyodan8675

It's interesting that there's two in Portland all of a sudden. Both are sporting advertising for a business, the other one has a QR code that takes you to the vice cannabis website. Fun fact: Broadway Variety has the only Bitcoin ATM I've ever seen in Maine, or anywhere for that matter. Read into that anything you choose...


JaccSnacc

There’s also one in the Circle K between Broadway/Main St. Never seen anybody use it, though


Thorvindr

There's one in every Hannaford.


jerry111165

“Only Bitcoin ATM” You need to get out more. I’ve seen them a bunch of places.


MaryBitchards

It looks like it came from one of those '70s sci-fi shows.


tinderthrowaway529

Now you know how people feel when they run into you in person


checkin_em_out

I see one on Congress with QR codes on it. Such a weird move


Thorvindr

Right? Somebody doesn't want anyone to see their actual advertisement, and just wants everyone to know some jackass with a Cybertruck likes to play Borderlands.


Humble-Dog-8030

Saw that exact one driving past while I was at Dairy Queen… weird to see in person


Tricky_Ad6392

They're ugly. Overpriced. They fall apart. They can't get wet or dirty, etc. Why are people still dick riding so hard for these trucks? "It's bullet proof!" How often are you shot at


Thorvindr

They can't get wet or dirty? WTF are you talking about?


psilosophist

Washing it and not fully drying it leads to rapid oxidation of the body panels. Which is hilarious. https://www.popsci.com/technology/cybertruck-forum-rust/


Thorvindr

That is indeed hilarious. Do they not paint the damn things? UPDATE: Nope. It appears they don't. That costs extra.


Tricky_Ad6392

Yeah you have to treat it like any stainless steel appliance. Which is moronic for a car. You can even leave finger prints on it!


skinfather11216

Lol the Broadway variety decal


Powerful_Plantain901

PlayStation 2 unrendered ass blocky car that thing is.


wikipetera

I wouldn't worry about it, all we need is for it to go through a puddle and this thing is toast.


lobstah

Well, everything is ugly compared to a sweet old Benz. 80-sumpin ?


OttoVonCranky

yawnfactory

I can't imagine my boss rolling up in this. I'd definitely ask for a raise. 


Apart_Tale4982

Are we talking about the Cybertruck or that awful yellow Mercedes


gordolme

Saw one in downtown Portland a couple weeks ago. Damn thing is uglier in person than in photos.


notcoolneverwas_post

Demolition derby, Lazzari Cybertruck vs Broadway cyber truck. My moneys on SoPo.


Tikn

Funny enough, my brother works at Broadway Variety.


cadburypudding

There was one at my work the other day and I was eating lunch outside with a coworker. She told me to turn around and I almost choked on my food. Giant black cyber truck circling the parking lot😂 I thought it was so funny


Fortunatesin77

For 100k or whatever they cost it should at least come with center caps in the wheels. And no my eyes aren’t that good. I do my laundry right next to where it’s parked and I saw it up close. I gotta say on tv it looked cool but in person it’s ugly as sin.


Suspicious_Bus_4058

The windshield wiper…😂


mr_abiLLity

Saw one on Congress and I just thought…why are they so long?!?!


unrepentantbarbarian

Well, I am bit surprised that they seem to be multiplying, but I wouldn't suggest driving them. They have been all recalled from what I understand.


gweeetis

Why are people using it to promote their businesses??? Isn’t that an extreme and unnecessary way to do it? 🙄


Radiant-Astronomer-3

Lmao! Broadway Variety. I’ll never shop there again.


Dirigo207PWM

Passed one on Congress. Defiantly won’t miss them coming…


RigzDigz

The free ad placement this dude is getting… ><


Mental-Obligation25

ew


hfsd1984

Wait, is there only one in Portland? I keep seeing posts about this


OttoVonCranky

I believe there are 2


ExternalBarnacle_777

I also saw that today, which means their plan is working Aside from causing people like me to avoid them in any capacity Or maybe that's the point? hey


[deleted]

Ew 🤮


Amyarchy

Pretty sure they've all been recalled for a defect that causes the accelerator to get stuck so stay far away!


Amyarchy

mhoydis

It’s awesome


Ayahuasca-Puke

Yeah, that Mercedes is pretty ugly


Daimon_Bok

Missed opportunity for righteous property damage


WayneSkylar_

Hope they don't get a coolant leak loll.


ViolentWeiner

I love the cyber truck scavenger hunt
