IMMENSELY clear given I used quotation marks when I referenced Edmunds while ALSO directly linking it to Edmunds--something not done with the "HUMMER-LIKE" quote that simply references the advertising and buyer's impressions. And if you have actually talked with someone who owns or was looking at them, the machismo attitude for the vehicle is very similar to that of Hummer's early adopters.

I see that you are an immense defender and fan of Tesla Cybertrucks. Well, welcome to it. I'm sure your fellow Michiganers will love your attitude--especially in Detroit.
