In Nebraska, no less.

To be sure, Cybertrucks are more than just a means of transportation. They are, as the New York Times described it in a headline, “A Culture War on Wheels.”

Personally, I think it looks a bit like a coffin on wheels.
Which may well be appropriate if it has the self-driving mode.

On edit: I should add that it had Farm Plates, which means taxes are essentially nullified and they get a different deal in insurance.
The only thing I didn't see was a DJT Bumper sticker (I'm figuring the sticker is "licensed" by the Goomer, and you have to go through something he set up to get $50-100, just to make a world of hurting on the eyeballs even worse!
