"It does suck, because everybody kind of makes fun of the Cybertruck. To the outside person, it's kind of weird, it's ugly, whatever. Once you actually get in it, drive it, you realize it's pretty frickin' cool," he says. "It's kind of been sad, because I've been trying to prove to people that it's a really awesome truck that's not falling apart, and then mine starts to fall apart, so it's just... Yeah, it's kind of unfortunate and sad."

No joke these cars were pretty good. Short haul, long haul, as long as you had good parts, it ran great. And I took the drunken workers as a joke. In reality they were made pretty well. People were driving 30+ year old Trabants in the 90s with no issues as long as they could find parts. As genuine parts disappeared, people stopped driving them.

I was more refering to your average Trebant was going to be worked on by Unkle Sergi after dinner with whatever was on hand. the factories had... eastern european levels of tolernace in production but the cars themselves were genuinely solid. They were just not enough of them to fill the request lists FOR cars when they had market relevance.

I have heard there are Trebby tours in berlin and (former) eastern german areas.
