This person needs to get help. I doubt more than one or two women are laughing at him, if there is anyone laughing at all.
Who has time to do this while driving?
I've pointed and laughed at a couple of Cybertrucks. It's hard to really capture how funny they look in motion in person. That feeling of "this was drawn by a kindergardener" hit me so much harder the first couple times I saw a real one moving.
I think it's because it's stupid looking enough that the brain doesn't even classify it as a vehicle, it's just some weird contraption that isn't supposed to act like a vehicle does, so it's an uncanny valley effect.
Looks more like an attempt at a low polygon 3d model to me.
As others mentioned, it does look kinda ridiculous in person. Driving home Sunday with my sister we saw one, pointed and both laughed/chuckled to each other. I wasn't looking at the driver so dunno if they noticed, but if they were looking at our faces as we passed they might have been able to notice, and it was just a natural reaction, not meant to have the owner notice in an effort to mock or anything.
My partner and I make a point of pointing and laughing at every single cyber truck and owner we see
if we see one parked we like to walk by it to see if it's true we can run down the battery by making its security system record us.
I live in the Bay Area and there are like 5 of them in my small, rural town, so I see them daily. I laugh every time. As silly as they look in photos, it's just so much sillier in real life. Especially out in the county where I live.
