I just saw a Cybertruck for the first time this evening. I don't know if it was the tri-motor Beast unit with 834 HP or the regular, dual-motor 600 HP unit, but it certainly makes quite the statement. This in a part of the country where people who can afford to are seriously not into splashing out.

The only equivalent in that regard that I've seen after seven years down here was a Maserati MC20 last year. He was in traffic on a heavily-traveled interstate beltway that's a commuting corridor a good deal of the day and was attempting to move through as quickly as possible. Not possible. The last I saw he was on the right shoulder moving out of sight. I've lived in parts of the country where that's accepted as a legitimate move, but not around here.

What struck me the most about the MC20, however, is that the car is so low that the owner, when in traffic, isn't looking at bumpers like the usual low-slung cars are; instead, he's looking underneath the line of cars in front of him. No wonder the dealer has a nice selection of used MC20s with virtually no miles on them.
