How the Tesla Cybertruck became the internet’s favorite punching bag

Nearly a year after Tesla began shipping its bulky EVs, the vehicles’ silver sheen remains fresh in the meme cycle.

Since its launch in November, the Cybertruck has been picked on. Onlookers have compared the electric truck to a kids’ toy, a glitchy video game rendering, and a refrigerator on wheels. About 10 months later, the Cybertruck remains one of the internet’s favorite punch lines. In the social media stratosphere, that’s meant a seemingly endless line of Cybertruck-related memes, all of which gleefully poke fun at the truck’s head-turning design.
