A Reddit user posts a 'Truck doomer' meme predicting the truck bubble will burst, with a parody infographic: a cumulative-cost chart shows the Mercedes-Benz Actros 40-t hitting €1.10M after 900,000 km (€1.22/km incl. depreciation) versus a Toyota Corolla Hybrid's €15.9k (€0.18/km), on a log-scale axis mimicking AI-scaling charts. Below it, a spoof benchmark 'Objectives completed by tokens spent' features fictional/future models — DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, GPT-6 Sol Daybreak, Grok 4.7, Kimi K3, GLM 5.3 Flash, and a Claude Opus 5.5 that refused partway through with 1/21.
