      Frigidaire. It’s a company that makes a lot of window-unit ACs and fridges and freezers and stuff. Stuff that makes air frigid. :)

    Man I really feel like I am part of the like 1% of people who think the cyber truck looks super cool. I understand it’s a POS but it just looks so cool to me. I would put bright yellow EL Wire on all the angles to make it more cyberpunk looking. God I wish this car and the company didn’t suck.

      Yep. I’d never buy it since that would support Tesla, and I would never buy because it has lots of issues. But I love how it looks. I wish some other company borrows the style and makes an actually good car with it.

      What makes them look really bad to me is the matte metal look. Very industrial kitchen.

      I’ve seen a glossy black one that looked kinda cool at night.

        I’m going to get my deposit back for the CT, I still think it’s cool but I don’t think it will ever be sold in Europe and Musk has just ruined the reputation of Tesla. I’m also looking for a home battery and although the Powerwall 3 looks great, I’m going to try and find an alternative, just because of Elon.

      I honestly really don’t get it. My first thought at normal SUVs is already “wow, that is so ugly, why would anyone buy that?” and the cybertruck is to SUVs like those are to regular cars.

      I like that it’s different and not just “Super Generic Truck 2024 Edition”. Remember the Plymouth Prowlar? That thing was wacky looking and I think it only came in purple. I’m paraphrasing the commercial but it went something like: “It’s not for everyone, is it?” “That’s kinda the point.” I LIKE that.

      When you try to make something for everyone, you end up making it for no one.

      But damn if the Cyber truck isn’t a huge piece of shit made by a horrible company which ruins any positivity it might otherwise have.

    I saw a Cybertruck in the wild for the first time last week. It was just as stupid as I had always dreamed. 🥹

            Yeah, it’s legal to purchase and own a Cybertruck in Europe.

            You just can’t legally drive it on public roads, because it hasn’t passed the safety tests.

            They haven’t even attempted, because it is evident that it will fail. So, they have not introduced the vehicle for sale in Europe

            If you see one, it’s probably a gimmick showcase thing. They did tour a demo model around for tv stations earlier this year, but I’m not sure what the purpose was. It was basically mocked everywhere it went.

            It’s possible and perfectly legal to import it yourself and then… put it in a garage or drive around your mansion all day long if you want.

    If that’s really on there, that’s fucking funny and I’m glad that person can laugh at themselves.

    Frigidaire makes trash HVAC equipment and the company is so poorly managed in surprised they don’t just call themselves Maytag at this point

      I just threw away a Frigidaire window unit that looked really cool but it barely worked after 2 years and they just deleted it from their smart control app - like straight up removed it as I was using it and was like “oh so sorry not supported anymore!”

      I own a microwave by them and I am looking to replace it now, even though it works reasonably well. Fuck Frigidaire right in their stupid fucking asses.

      Sounds like white labeling the cybertruck would be a great cultural fit for them.
