The Tesla Cybertruck seems to be the antidote to lonelinesss. A middle-aged dentist bought the Tesla Cybertruck to get attention. He complained about being lonely, but now he turns every head everywhere he goes.
The Tesla Cybertruck has been the talk of the automotive industry since day one. When was day one? It was back in November 2019, when Elon Musk took the stage in Los Angeles to unveil the prototype that previewed the production model. The vehicle left the stage with the windows shattered by Tesla's Design chief Franz von Holzhausen and made headlines that very evening.
Later on, when prototypes started being spotted on public roads, every appearance became a social media event that went viral. Everybody was talking about the Cybertruck, everybody wanted a piece of it. It rocked a polarizing design, promised to turn every head out there, and bragged about a supercar kind of performance.
So, anybody who wanted to get attention had to order one. All they had to do was place a $100 deposit, spec the truck, and pay what Tesla asked for it. That is what Steven Shao did, too.
Steven told his story on the Tesla Cybertrcuk Owners Facebook group and prompted a gazillion reactions from people who said they totally understood him.
"You work hard, but your kids don't want to hang out with you, and your friends are too busy to visit. You are getting older every day, and your neck and back are complaining," he wrote.
He also considered what many middle-aged men do: setting up a man cave, buying a Batmobile, a powerhouse, or whatever makes people snap their necks and glare. However, he restored to what he calls "an overpowered, overpriced, over-the-top giant fridge on wheels."
So, he bought the Tesla Cybertruck. "They can't ignore you anymore," the new owner of the "fridge on wheels" says. Steven talks about 850 horsepower, so he most likely got the Cyberbeast version, which rockets from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 kph) in just 2.6 seconds, which makes it a supercar-type of fridge on wheels.
"Maybe the attention isn't what you want, maybe it's too radical for your neighbors. But you don't care – you are old, tired, and cranky, and you've had it up to here with politics and the media," Steven adds. He goes on to explain that "the world is full of nonsense, so drive something that makes even less sense." Making sense or not, the Cyberbeast is now a $99,900 affair.
Steven also shared a photo of his own Cybertruck, charging in a company-owned charging spot. We can't tell for sure that buying the most controversial vehicle of the decade will solve all his problems. But he sure is happy with it for the moment. Next up might be that Batmobile which he mentioned in his Facebook post.
