May they all rust and die in the wet salted air.

I saw one today, but you’re right I saw more last year for sure

I think people are embarrassed to drive them

I see way too many of them around where we live. My daughter calls them the "ugly car." Even a 5-year-old knows a stupid design when they see one.

I don’t mind how they look from front.  It’s from behind that they look truly terrible.

It's the rainy season; can't take them out in this weather, or they'll rust.

I’ve seen quite a few around here that are vinyl wrapped

Yeah and it's about to be snowy season, can't take them out in that weather or they'll get stuck.

And don't even get me started on what happens to them in the sun!

It's more likely that, they have been sold back. Alot of cyber trucks have issues within the first 10K miles. I also would get rid of it and get as much of my money back, if I were somehow stupid enough to buy one

A lot got taken overseas, as they where not sold to people outside the US, people sold them 2nd hand for basically purchase price, was an easy out. But now the price has crashed hard.

I saw a branded one by a realtor locally. I wrote to her to tell her it was nice of her to advertise that I shouldn't do business with her.

There's an absolute shitload of them in south TX, owned by SpaceX, of course. They give them out to employees as company vehicles. They recently raised the monthly cost which caused a former work buddy of mine that works form them to get rid of his.

Here locally though? Maybe a dozen, and that's it. And I'm in a metro of nearly 8 million people.
