Nope. Even in 1875, if you rode one of these things, people would think you’re a douchebag.
These were never cool.
Doesn't that prove OP right?
Hmmm…
That is incorrect. It may have been considered dangerous to ride those, but reaching high speeds (the larger the wheel, the faster you could go) was cool.
When was the cybertruck ever cool? The last time I remember ever feeling remotely positively about the cybertruck was when Elon threw a titanium ball into its window to show that it was bulletproof. For a little while after that seeing a cybertruck would remind me of that and I'd laugh at the driver. Now I just flip them off, brake-check them, flash them with my brights if we are at night, etc
Just like the Cybertruck
