Default Cybertruck vs. VW Atlas

Here is a clever little video comparing a Cybertruck with a 3-row VW. While it is not a perfect comparison in many ways, I thought it was still amusing.

Enjoy.

I'm far from a fan of the Cybertruck but the entire point of the first video is to demonstrate that it is a somewhat practical family vehicle despite looking like a film prop. The woman with the Atlas meanwhile is advertising a car where being practical is its entire raison d'etre. Cause it certainly doesn't have anything else going for it, unlike the Cybertruck.

In other words, Karen should have bought a minivan.

Yes, I found it amusing....enough to post it, anyway.

One of my neighbors, BYW, a courtyards down from my house, recently got a new Cybertruck....it is huge compared to most of the vehicles it is parked next to. It is bigger in real life than it looks in most of the pictures...and with that highly unusual triangle/pyramid shape, can be instantly seen from some distance off, even with that neutral metallic stainless-steel color. We don't have outside charge-outlets in our neighborhood, so they must be recharging it somewhere else.

Apples and Oranges. This thread is about a vehicle comparison, not pads. It you want, that pads-video might be suitable for a discussion in CLUBHOUSE.

This is a funny video lol, it’s not a review.

This video is all over the place lol. I have been sent it by at least 10 different people and almost every mom I know on Facebook has posted it including my wife.

Actually, my brother sent it to me...that's where I got it.

Agreed......definitely not a review. Was not suggesting otherwise. Nevertheless, personally, I think the Cybertruck is overrated....seems to be a fad-machine more than anything else.

The point is that she's a content creator for humor content. She doesn't review autos - she gets clicks by trying to be funny on social media.

lol that woman thinks she's a badass for driving the Cybertruck. She should ask people what they think. Maybe a poser...

Which is why she's the subject of the other woman literally making fun of her Cybertruck worship in that video.....

actually, it's not a serious comparison, except for humor (and it's funny). like her pads video and other videos.

she took this video and edited her own content into it for the one you posted:
