Sold my Cybertruck and somehow it's news For anyone curious why: I ordered a Rivian R1T (launch edition) and Cybertruck (Foundation Series) around the same time. I knew from the beginning I wouldn't keep both. Put 5,000 miles on each, and now I'm keeping the one I like more 🧵

It seems irresponsible to cover this without engaging with the man at the helm of Tesla, the power he has and the message he’s using that power to spread. I get that you probably want to remain “neutral” so as not to limit your audience, but at some point, doesn’t that make you complicit?

Totally fair. As a product person, I've never ALSO covered the CEO's actions when reviewing products - maybe there's room for that to change though

Thanks for your reply, it means a lot. I’ve been a fan of yours since way back. I do think we’ve entered a new era where the tech industry has SO much impact on our lives that their products can’t just be reviewed in a vacuum. I wish it wasn’t true; it was much more fun when I didn’t think that way.
