I dislike the carwow guy, I almost never watch his stuff.

I know which one I’d rather hear and be seen in/look at in my driveway though lol

The lambo is just a glorified Audi and looks like every other SUV. They Cybertruck on the other hand will stand out anywhere you go. If you want to show off the cybertruck is the way to go.


When I was growing up the import scene was all about drag racing in North America.

I can't be the only one who feels this way.

That's a result of him being a YouTube personality and adapting to appease the audience/algorithm. I still remember when he first appeared as a CarBuyer reviewer on YouTube when video car reviews were still in their heyday - he was a lot more toned down back then. See this review is from August 2010 as an example:

He's come a long way and I respect him for staying relevant after all these years in the business. I also agree that it's no longer the kind of car content I enjoy on YouTube.

Dude you're drinking that kool-aid so hard... cybertruck isn't showing off, it's just getting noticed for being fuckin ugly and new. Maybe if you're some new money wanna-be then yah that's getting noticed I guess.

At least the Lambo has class and it does not look like every other SUV on the road. I don't even like SUV's in any way, but it's certainly got its own look.

It's true that drag racing is a cool scene, but putting a pedal to the floor and waiting isn't drag racing. What's racing about planting your foot? Are you shifting gears? Are you slipping a clutch trying to launch in a happy spot between grip and putting power down?
Is there any skill or driver's edge involved whatsoever?

I mean, you bought a GR Corolla for a reason. Would you trade it for a Model 3 because the Model 3 can do a faster 1/4 mile while you yawn and look at your wristwatch?

I agree with everything except for the looks of the Lambo. The Urinal is pretty ugly and I genuinely can't understand the mindset needed to buy one. Like I can't imagine telling friends about my new Lamborghini and when they see it it's just an SUV.

radeonboy 12-06-2023 12:15 PM

One of my aunties ordered a Urus when it came out. Her reasoning was:
- has to be European and didn't want to get a model she's had before
- already owned a X5
- already owned a ML / GLE
- already owned a Cayenne
- was driving the Levante that she vocally hated
- Bentayga / Range Rover is too old-person for her taste and not cool

So she went with the Urus.

I own 2 manual cars for a reason. Most people who buy supercars and high-end SUV's do it to show off. Most Lambo's will never see any track time. Some people consider cars art and art is supposed to be controversial. You park a cybertruck next to any vehicle and the cybertruck will steal the show.

68style 12-06-2023 12:22 PM

Cuz it's new and for the wrong reasons.

It ain't gonna age well... do that a year from now and it will just attract middle fingers and contemptuous eyerolls. The types of people who buy it are going to ruin the image of it.

JDMDreams 12-06-2023 12:52 PM

Sounds like China hobz Aunt. Cullinan? FeelsBadMan

Rumour is they are building other cars based on the same design/manufacturing process. Including the buget car they have been working on.

68style 12-06-2023 02:32 PM

Well.. I mean I hope so, they aren't gonna make any money off this thing in the volumes they'll be able to produce / number of customers who will actually buy it for the price being asked ($150 deposit is meaningless).

It should have always been intended as a platform share of some sort!

JDMDreams 12-06-2023 02:46 PM

Well of course they will use this to develop test new tech, which will eventually trickle to all other models.

They will be making 250K units a year. I think they will sell a ton of them but that's just my guess. They have a 1000 limited edition fully loaded ones right now that they are selling for 120K US.

68style 12-06-2023 02:55 PM

How many people in todays' economy you think have $80k USD *base price* hanging around to buy an electric truck with?

They are not going to make 250,000 of these a year. Which, I will give credit where credit is due, is at least WAY down from the 400,000 Elon said last month lol

Feel free to circle back to this post if it ever happens and mock me gratuitously.

The single motor is less and Tesla prices do change over time.

68style 12-06-2023 03:32 PM

Dude the single motor isn't even available until at least 2025......... and who the heck wants a 2WD truck for $62k USD???

Knowing Elon's accuracy for anything numbers related..........................

underscore 12-06-2023 03:43 PM

Oh I'm sure somebody will buy them. I wonder how long until the first offroad recovery callout for a 6600lb 2WD truck.

JDMDreams 12-06-2023 05:54 PM

Actually for the smart Americans they might, according to their numbers their economy is doing much better than us, since they have 30y mortgage literally no one is worried about their mortgage unless they just bought or is maturing soon. Also their money is worth at least 30% more than ours so they can ball out up here. Somehow the tables have still turnt.

woah woah woah, you did not just compare this moving refrigeration unit to a lambo. In the days of EV's when a fantuan/uber eats model 3 dusts most sports cars from the past 20-30 years, 0-60 doesnt matter anymore.

First of all, does your fridge reak of prostitutes and cocaine? NO!? then youre not in the league of lambro's

Secondly, does your mere rolling presence economically dominate those around you? NO!? then youre not a lambro

Thirdly, and most importantly, does it catch fire.... uhhh yeah okay, you might have a point there

Hondaracer 12-07-2023 06:40 AM

Outside of Harvey, Urus drivers are 98% the same person every single time I see one

68style 12-07-2023 07:28 AM

I mostly see frightened ghost white asian girls driving them... but that's because I live in Richmond.

hud 91gt 12-07-2023 07:50 AM

I’ve only ever seen an Asian chick drive one. Lol
