I wanted to buy a Cybertruck (don't judge me, my kid loves it). We also love McDonald's.
I no longer want anything Tesla or even want to eat at McDonald's anymore.
Why would you want to buy a vehicle just because your kid likes it?
If he has to get a vehicle why not one his kid likes? What vehicle choice criteria do you find acceptable?
Because it's a fucking Cybertruck lol... In nearly any other situation, I would say you're right. Take the kid's choice into consideration, but then maybe ask if they have a second favorite car.
His answer is no. I asked him why he loves it. He loves that it's different from anything on the road. Since he has a rare disorder, he feels that he is also different. He can relate to the car more. Can't argue with that.
