    repeat falsehoods often enough and people believe them, even if you originally mean them as a well-intentioned and obvious joke

      Sorry… are people repeating the falsehood that Cybertrucks catch fire if you throw a water bottle at them?

            you may have INTENDED to imply only that, but you did imply both unfortunately. I agree with you on the cyber truck part, but I deal with a lot of slightly more rural folks and the big fear RN with electric vehicles is somehow battery fires. which is crazy since they don’t happen anywhere near as often as gas vehicles. so I’m just trying to say we should be careful to avoid that particular cliche (the battery fire part) since it misleads people
