Surprise Cybertruck
While on vacation, our family got a rideshare in a surprise Cybertruck!
My mom speculated “must be expensive”, to which to driver replied “yeah, a little expensive”. Then with some real big mom energy, my mom hit him with “well, maybe just a little expensive for you”! The driver tried to recover by spouting some financial justifications, though by then I had already relayed the conversation to my friends.
My mom commented on the driver's shyness afterward. Based on this anecdotal evidence, I'd read the buyer of a Cybertruck as trying to become less self-conscious;1 the truck itself seems to perform worse than other trucks. So getting read as a passenger as trying to become less self-conscious made me very self-conscious. I spent the ride trying to focus inward rather than outward.
You could also read this from buyers of trucks in general. ↩︎
