It seems that we have progressed to the "find out" stage. I wonder if this will have any measurable effect on Putin's support, though. Russians seem like heavy sleepers.

The YouTube channel Throttle House did a road trip with the cybertruck and they found that a lot of people actually were curious about it.

For all it's flaws, you can't deny it looks different from all the other cars around, and most people aren't online enough to have an opinion about Musk and his bullshit, so to them it's just an interesting looking car.

As the article says, there are typically a few cases a year in the US. It's actually endemic in the wild. No need to panic just from a case or two popping up.

I wonder what the actual condition of the Russian navy is at this point. I heard their ships were generally in poor condition even before the war (those reports of the Moskva's air defense being crippled before it left port, for example), and now they're losing so many trained crew. Last I heard their shipyards were roughly keeping pace with losses in terms of tonnage but you can't just herd conscripts on a ship and expect it to function at all.
Unfortunately for the residents of Moscow, all Russian AA weapons are currently in Ukraine.
