Finally Saw One Of These Things...


 Like everyone else, I've seen the pictures, but it took me several months before I saw one in the wild. That changed on our recent trip...

We saw three.

We live in a small town and we don't get to see some of the things seen in those big cities. Of course, now that I've said this, some local is going to move from being "On the List" to being "Truck Delivered" and he/she will drive around the town and everyone will take notice.

How could they not?

It's rare when us humans try new things. There's something comforting about the known, the familiar, the unsurprising. It takes courage to try something new. Tesla did that with the Cybertruck. I spotted this particular vehicle as we filled our minivan with good old-fashioned gasoline. The driver parked his truck at the Tesla chargers and he sat in the bed having a bit of the vape. We took off on our trip home and a few minutes later, the shiny silver thing passed us by.

I know they're not for everyone. Like certain political leaders, there seems to be no in between...you either like the new cybertruck or you don't. Personally, I'd take one if someone gave it to me. I'm not going to put my name on a waiting list for it, though.

Maybe in five, ten, twenty years we'll get used to the trucks and I'm sure they'll evolve and change. I wonder if in the future, will I stop and take notice like I did on this recent trip?

Time will tell.
