    A crowbar can seriously damage pretty much any vehicle. Nobody believes Elon’s promise that it would be sturdy as a tank. Out of all Cybertruck failures, lack of prying protection is one of the least concerning.

        Or just somebody who is using a little common sense instead of giving into the (I’ll admit very tempting) opportunity to dunk on musk.

        Most consumer products don’t hold up well against a crowbar.

              I think you missing the point that I am clearly saying about Musk’s bullshit which is not about fucking crowbars.

                I agree but you misunderstood my comment. The fact he said it would be like a tank compared to the actual execution should be enough to point out that he is full of BS, and you don’t need a crowbar to prove it. Yes, Musk fans believed him on that (I didn’t) and most no longer do.

                  Yet people won’t shut up about the stupid crowbar instead of the point about Musk lying and you excusing him for being a liar.

                    zero people here are excusing him for being a liar

                    zero people here ever believed him to begin with

                    zero people here believe any vehicle can be built “like a tank”. (How rock-like really were Chevy’s from the 90’s? What does Ford Tough even mean!? Can I really drive my Ram through solid objects as the name implies!??!)

                    What people are saying is that a raccoon can claw through a rubber seal, regardless of the marketing because, as it turns out, racoons don’t believe musk either (and they likely don’t watch ads).

                    When did I ever excuse him? I explicitly said he’s a piece of shit and his truck is dangerous waste.

                    You are just latching on to one dumb marketing thing he said and treating it like it’s gospel that’s been disproven. He’s an idiot and a bigot. He says a lot of dumb shit.

        How did you reach that conclusion? I share Thunderf00t’s opinion on Elon Musk. However, the fact that crowbars can ruin any car still stands, and the reason people usually don’t do that is only thanks to the fact that they are not psychopaths.

          The crowbar “point” was stupid and irrelevant. It was just normalizing Musk’s lies.
