The Cybertruck is just what's in vogue right now. If you were to look outside of the Hexbear bubble, most people on the street actually think the Cybertruck looks super cool and expensive.

Its popularity is probably not going to last. The PT Cruiser was seen the same way when it first came out, but once there were a million of them on the road, it became positively uncool.

In North America, only Teslas are viable if you're ever going to leave your city, because Teslas have the Tesla Supercharger network while other EVs have to deal with the hell that is Electrify America.

In other words: the Tesla Supercharger network is the killer feature of Teslas.

Note that this is changing as other auto manufacturers are adopting Tesla's formerly proprietary NACS (SAE J3400) charging standard, opening up the Tesla Supercharger network to non-Tesla EVs.

also, why dont they have batteries for when the suns hiding? weird

They do. It's enough for the site to survive the night and a few days of overcast skies but not beyond that.

Also what the fuck is a frunk?

Front trunk. In some EVs, there is an extra trunk under the hood, where the engine bay would be.

The net gets less fun every day. kyodonews.net was awful and a super-memory hog. It froze up my browser. Even with Adblock - god only knows what crap the site was trying load just for me to look at a ~200 words.

Since you're using uBlock Origin, you can turn off Javascript for that site only and see if it improves.

What if a display of pacifism is actually just a weird ruse?

What on earth are you supposed to gain from this? There is literally nothing to be gained from doing this. This is like trying to convince the (imperfect) predictor in Newcomb's paradox that you will pick both boxes, and then only picking box B. Box B is empty, and you have played yourself.

At what odds are you rolling the dice?

Do not underestimate the bloodthirstiness of American leaders. Douglas MacArthur infamously wanted to nuke China during the Korean war.
