“It does suck, because everybody kind of makes fun of the Cybertruck. To the outside person, it’s kind of weird, it’s ugly, whatever. Once you actually get in it, drive it, you realize it’s pretty frickin’ cool,” he says. “It’s kind of been sad, because I’ve been trying to prove to people that it’s a really awesome truck that’s not falling apart, and then mine starts to fall apart, so it’s just… Yeah, it’s kind of unfortunate and sad.”

    That makes no sense, but then that’s what makes it more believable. Are you referring to US or Canadian regulations?

      long-standing special treatment for big trucks and SUVs, which exempt larger cars from more stringent emissions standards

      A small pickup had to meet the same standards as a small car but a large pickup is lumped in with vehicles as large as a towtruck. So despite a small Ranger consuming less than half the fuel of an F-350, it was in a more strict emissions category. Though as per the article the EPA (however long they last) is working on fixing this issue.
