"It does suck, because everybody kind of makes fun of the Cybertruck. To the outside person, it's kind of weird, it's ugly, whatever. Once you actually get in it, drive it, you realize it's pretty frickin' cool," he says. "It's kind of been sad, because I've been trying to prove to people that it's a really awesome truck that's not falling apart, and then mine starts to fall apart, so it's just... Yeah, it's kind of unfortunate and sad."

All of these pickups should be taken off the road. Tesla makes the news, but I'm not sure they are the worst offender in terms of the threat they pose to other motorists and pedestrians.

Small pickups, like the tiny B2300 I have, were regulated out of existence because emissions limits are scaled partly by square-footage. It's easier to meet emissions requirements with a giant truck than a small one so no one makes the small ones.
