    I guess I never assumed it was a serious revolt against the government. My mistake.

      You’re right, maybe there’s nothing to see here. I forgot that people start setting cars on fire as a goof.

        I thought it was just a dummy caught up in the moment, who didn’t understand the massive damage an EV fire does.

            Insurances don’t like paying people, if Cybertrucks become expensive to insure then they’ll charge more to Cybertruck owners
