The New Hotness

  • Somebody’s Gotta Go First: Cybertruck

    Encountered on the way home with a trailer load of groceries:

    Tesla Cybertruck - front - 2024-05-14
    Tesla Cybertruck – front – 2024-05-14

    It’s about as distinctive as (yet much uglier than) Amazon’s Rivian trucks:

    Tesla Cybertruck - rear - 2024-05-14
    Tesla Cybertruck – rear – 2024-05-14

    What I do not understand is the lack of a license plate on that front bumper, here in New York State where front license plates are mandatory. I’ve noticed several Tesla vehicles (in their S3XY automotive series, among which I cannot distinguish) without front plates, so it must be a Tesla owner thing.

    The WordPress AI image for this post gets the angular aspect right, along with the missing plate:

    Cybertruck, fear me!
