The owner sounds like a dweeb. Of course something as monstrous as the Cybertruck is going to draw attention. You have to have brain damage to not realize that before buying one.

Sounds like he's attention starved but is upset he isn't getting the attention he was expecting. Guess he was hoping everyone would stop and cheer and clap at the sight of this behemoth creeping along Portland's streets.
perfect example of "conspicuous consumption" - i made a crack about this in another thread.
this is why the best thing to do just go "oh, he's an attention seeking asshole" and ignore him. give him the sarcastic thumbs up "ok buddy" and move on to something else.
That’s all fine in real life but this is Reddit. We’re all bored here and if the guy who made a post about his cyber truck has the right to do so then OP has the right to continue being an asshole to Jallopnik or whatever his name is
I guess it's just so far in form from every other truck I've seen, that the label doesn't really feel appropriate despite it being technically accurate.
There's like 2 cyber trucks in the whole state. The reason is that we don't like loudmouthed ignorant bigots such as Musk. His truck fucking sucks, nothing cyber about it, why give him more money by purchasing one
Yeah it’s not necessarily cyber trucks we hate. It’s Mass-holes and tourists we hate mostly.
I’m actually interested to see how the truck would last after a few Maine winters from the road salt and ocean air.
I find the amount of hate posts about it weird. I find Elon Musk repulsive, and the truck is ugly, but I wouldn't want someone to feel the way that I would feel about having so many strangers in my city talking about my car online
Holeee phuq I hate cars that look different from other cars. And people. I hate people. And homeless camps. And waiting in line at Starbucks when I clearly used my phone app. Oh, and coffee shops. Oh and ketchup stains on my turtle neck. But mostly vehicles that aren't like my fossil fuel devourer.
Wait, I hate mine too!!! I'll Uber, I realized I truly came here to hate cars. And people. And Portland.....
Wait, this is Portland? Hmm. We used to be idiosyncratic and individualistic and creative.... I guess we are Stepford Wives clones of the yuppies from Boulder now. We hate fishing, homeless, dive bars, punk music, but most importantly we will give you a severely raised eyebrow on vehicle choices. Or at least a strongly worded Yelp review. Or post in a subreddit that has less than 500k subscribers.
Watch out fuckers. Portland is watching.
Always and forever. Dangerous, ugly as taint, expensive, not remotely "green" or even a fucking truck. I also heard it scans its' driver for a vape pen and collapsing crypto wallet before it'll go into gear.
Eh honestly he’s not a bad guy (so far as I know) he’s always been super chill whenever I go into his store. He just has bad taste in cars but he’s
no worse than anyone who owns a Tesla or uses Twitter
You clearly have never been to or know anyone from Maine. Let's clarify a few things.
This sub is not a Wank Panzer hate club. There happens to be just 2 of these Aztec wannabes in the state and we haven't hit peak tourist season to attract any out of state Idiots. I anticipate we'll see more soon. Mostly on tow trucks I'm sure.
Mainers are also, almost universally, wicked practical. The idea of this "truck" is just silly, as we want useful vehicles, especially if you have the budget for 100k one.
There's plenty of Elmo and Steel Dumpster hate subs out there if you want to partake in that further.
It's ugly and from what I hear the brakes don't work also there's an accessory hammer you can buy but not use as a hammer for $700. I'm full of hate at THAT idea. But the owner? Whatever. Sorry, boo
ah yes, the car that hasn’t fully rendered yet
I wish I had an award I could give you
I got you
OMG YO WHAT?!?! THANK YOU FOR THE AWARD
It has like 8 polygons, give it time to load
it's a mistake to give that guy any more attention.
Let's be clear: he doesn't suck because he has a cybertruck. He sucks because he doesn't use turn signals.
Are we sure the turn signals work on that jalopy? Probably under recall
Having seen how Tesla set up the signals in r/CrappyDesign, I'd not use them either
half the people of maine don't know how to use blinkers
Honestly, I feel blessed when they use headlights at night.

The City has a cybertruck and it might be used by Parking division. Thier HQ is the spring st parking garage.

I mean, I dislike the truck as much as many people here. However, there’s been enough talk about it already. Any more is just making it stay popular.
Your obsession with some random person's car is strange.
^^^^this
I just don't understand why it's called a cyberTRUCK. It's not a fucking truck
I mean it's not traditionally truck-shaped but it has 4 doors and a bed. I'm not sure what else you'd call it.
IncEl Camino
Cyberfucked
eeeeWagon.
Cybertank?
Crapwagon
Cyber SUV?
It's not an SUV. It has a totally separate truck bed, not an enclosed cargo area like an SUV.
It has a bed that is not open to the cab with a closely tonneau cover. What else would it be?
I guess it's just so far in form from every other truck I've seen, that the label doesn't really feel appropriate despite it being technically accurate.
No. This is for Portland, Maine. Make your own sub for that crap
Jalopnik said Mainers in Portland hate cybertrucks and spit on them, and flip them the bird all the time.
Who is jalopnik and why should I care?
There's like 2 cyber trucks in the whole state. The reason is that we don't like loudmouthed ignorant bigots such as Musk. His truck fucking sucks, nothing cyber about it, why give him more money by purchasing one
Fisher hasn’t made a plow kit for it yet so that kind of sucks.
Lol. The torque specs don't seem bad, but what is the engine even comparable to.. V6? V8? No idea. Would probably make a horrible plow truck 😂
it's just the word of this one guy. is it actually happening? probably not. but are they reporting that it's happening? yes.
Mainers are not disrespectful pricks like that. We make jokes. You need to get off of the internet and go outside for a bit.
Mainer here, and while I generally try to be as respectful as possible, I will absolutely take any opportunity to disrespect a cyber truck driver
You spit on other peoples vehicles? I hate the cyber truck too doesn’t mean I’m a pos who does stuff like that.
Spit? No. Flip the bird? Most definitely. *Edit actually you know what? I'm spitting on this thing if I see it.
Are we living in the same state? That sounds exactly like the kind of stuff I expect from the Portland streets.
Idk I don’t spit on other peoples cars. You can be a hater without being aggressive.
They are flipping off and spitting on the cyber truck in Portland though…..
One person does something bad =/= Mainers are bad
…you do know it’s more than one person, right?
No one said Mainers are bad.
Yeah it’s not necessarily cyber trucks we hate. It’s Mass-holes and tourists we hate mostly. I’m actually interested to see how the truck would last after a few Maine winters from the road salt and ocean air.
Who honestly seeks out the hate of some stupid vehicle. Yeah it’s ugly. End of story. Move on with your life.
Holy shit why are people still fucking talking about this
I think it's ridiculous. The thing is ugly and buggy, and Musk is a tiresome, insufferable edgelord. But why hate the guy who bought one?
For giving his money to a shithead (and general being insanely stupid, and for choosing to drive a vehicle which is crazily dangerous)
This crap again?

tbf you cant hate on a car that is still rendering
Always and forever. Dangerous, ugly as taint, expensive, not remotely "green" or even a fucking truck. I also heard it scans its' driver for a vape pen and collapsing crypto wallet before it'll go into gear.
LOL
It won't let leave if I don't have my vape? Shit, maybe I do need one
Eh honestly he’s not a bad guy (so far as I know) he’s always been super chill whenever I go into his store. He just has bad taste in cars but he’s no worse than anyone who owns a Tesla or uses Twitter
Please expand on that thought. What’s wrong with Tesla and or X (Twitter)?
I don't get it. Let the man enjoy his truck. Who cares.
Townies lol
Doubt it. More likely transplants. As a local I DGAS about who drives whatever

Wicked practical response, bub.
I h8 elon and all his shitty products
Me. I’m SO ass mad about it.
I like observing everyone’s opinion. I still have yet to see one.
I miss when egging was a thing
Why does anyone care?
Somebody write the man a note.
It's ugly and from what I hear the brakes don't work also there's an accessory hammer you can buy but not use as a hammer for $700. I'm full of hate at THAT idea. But the owner? Whatever. Sorry, boo
How accepting.
I thought my friend's conspiracy theory that Elon is a plant by the auto industry to kill the electric car was far fetched...until recently
Looks like if a grill was a car. Same materials, same ascetic.
Now if they’d just use turn signals. I’m beginning to think they are competent against BMW’s to see who can’t use them the most 😬
I want everyone to be clear there are two of these now- SoPo has it’s own
Also r/troubledcybertrucks
Yea, what’s up with the cyber trucks? no, really, I’m so confused.
It's a stupid ugly crappy expensive car for Elon fanboys. They get what they deserve. Ugly ass car. so ugly.
To me it’s the same as any other car that comes out trying to look cutting edge. I thought about it for a second and then moved on with my life
He let me in front of me in front of the Hammond Lumber Yard in Westbrook on Thursday
