Found in the wild in Tennessee
Wait tgis is a real car? Wow I thought it was an art project or AI meme
Oh to be ignorant of the cyber truck. There are so many complaints about this piece of crap daily online. They lock out their owners, have body panels fall off, have very few protections against auto closing doors cutting off fingers, the accelerator pedals can get stuck at full speed while moving, they are uncoated stainless steel which corrodes, and replacement parts are insanely expensive.
I saw a YouTube short of someone claiming Tesla fixed the trunk door cutting people’s fingers off. He demonstrated with a banana at first. It detected the banana and immediately opened the door again. It barely made a dent into the banana. So he’s like imma try my finger now lol. So he tries his finger and of course that fucker clamps down hard on this mf’s finger, which gets stuck for a short while before the Tesla gives up and opens the door again. But his finger had a huge and deep dent in it, bro. You could tell he was in big pain. His hand was shaking minutes after the event.
I don’t know what’s worse, the door, or this idiot thinking a banana is an accurate prop to use in place of a finger. I would’ve used something smaller than my finger. If it detected that, you would think a finger would be safe…
One other thing here is that the sensitivity of the detection is actually decreased with repeat attempts. This is pretty standard.
The reasoning here is that people will check after the first failure. And if they then send the close request again, the car will try a bit harder. Maybe it’s just some bit of oversized luggage that can be pushed down.
Oh boy. If he only knew this…
Lol what a douchebag. I love to see it.
It looks like they’re parked in the lines. What am I missing?
It probably lost charge and stayed parked there too long 😂
IDFK 🤷♂️
I saw someone refer to these stupid things as “Incel-Caminos”, and that’s the most perfect description of anything I’ve come across recently.
I’ve said for a while that they look like a cheap fiberglass shell put over an El Camino for a straight-to-video Mad Max ripoff from the 80s.
The orange tag says “FUCK YOU” with no further elaboration.
You joke, but when my parents bought an electric car, the cops in their small town started harassing them. My mom drives like a saint but they keep pulling her over and giving her tickets that aren’t valid. She said she’s caught them waiting for her to leave the grocery store so they can follow her out of the parking lot and try to catch her doing something wrong. But she doesn’t, so they just pull her over anyway. This isn’t even in a rural town where people are rolling coal. It’s just a small suburb. Why do they care?
yea that didn’t happen
Thank you, oh arbiter of truth on the internet.
Electric = Liberuls
The cyberpinto got booted
Even the tires are ugly. That’s… kind of impressive. I never once considered tires could be uglier than other tires. But here we are.
Yeah it’s meant to have uglier wheels that fit with those ugly tires, possibly only with the ugly tires.
I think it’s as close low polygon wheels they could get before they become hexagonal.
“I want the wheels to look like Lara Croft”
Wait, yeah… Why do they look like that? I’ve literally never seen ugly tires in my entire life before. This is the first time.
They’re supposed to have covers
but IIRC they cost extraThose covers had to be redesigned because the originals (which may be the ones in the pic) would gouge the rubber of the tires
Is it already rusting? lol
It’s stainless steel so it’s just surface level, but yes lmao it wasn’t treated for outdoor use
I’m a St. Louis boy so I grew up with the Gateway Arch. It looks better after 55 years of exposure to the elements than Cybertrucks do after 5 weeks.
DeLorean also managed to get it right, despite distractions like building the things in Belfast during the Troubles and getting entrapped into cocaine smuggling.
Yeah the bodywork isn’t what’s wrong with the DeLorean.
Maybe it encountered some extreme conditions, like a car wash.
Or maybe the extreme condition known as out of doors
So what! I love scraping rust off my vehicle every week
-cyber truck owners, presumably
Still love the truck!
They don’t do that, but they are supposed to clean it right away whenever they park. Really.
How long does it take to tame a Cybertruck?.. 🤔
2 weeks with an angle grinder ought to do it.
Make sure to wash it with gasoline to remove the rust 👍
Diesel fuel would probably work ok, gasoline will evaporate and make it rust quicker.
The way Elon’s politics have gone it wouldn’t surprise me if he started promoting fossil fuel use.
Sorry to say, you’re basically wrong on all ends.
Diesel exhaust is one of the quickest things known to cause cancer. And gasoline is like the quickest (not safest) to clean metal.
Diesel/kerosene doesn’t evaporate like gasoline though, lots of mechanics use it to soak Rusty stuff and get parts unseized.
Modern has also attacks rubber with its high ethanol content, but its a slower process.
Gasoline works great for cleaning, but you have to immediately coat it in something or you get flash rust again. Diesel is slower, but less volatile, and better near rubber and plastics.
Btw, I restore old cars and have used both to clean things, though the cancerous benzine fumes from gasoline aren’t worth it compared to other solvents for me. Denatured alcohol<mineral spirits<naphtha<acetone is my order of escalation when a mess is stubborn.
They’re weak to water.
Are we taming, maiming or killing though?
I fine with all three if it’s a dumb truck.
Drive it anyway. The Cybertruck can handle it. The Cybertruck can handle anything! I heard it’s made out of 1978 Hot Wheels parts and 1982 Megaforce machismo.
I swear Lemmy acts like anything shitty happening to a Cybertruck is like it’s Elon’s personal car getting fucked up. You’re being trendy. I fucking hate that guy too but is this really funny or meaningful?
Why don’t you just nuke every city in America because we all use Amazon and Bezos is a megalomaniac, evil bastard? Post it on Lemmy and laugh because we all deserved it for supporting him.
Yeah it just seems like an easy scapegoat to join in on and feel cool (not saying I like elon) but it just seems like low hanging fruit.
I like grilled cheese sammich as well.
Look, Elon Musk is the most popular celebrity in the world, probably tied with Donald Trump. Of course we constantly shit talk about him, it’s what we humans do. Just roll with it, or continue to have a bad time, it doesn’t matter either way.
I think I’ll continue to have a bad time on Lemmy, for $500.
Yes, Elon Musk is. Not some random car owner. This all feels like bullying to me.
Of course we constantly shit talk about him, it’s what we humans do.
I pretty sure that’s almost verbatim what one of my bullies said about me, who also isn’t Elon Musk incidentally.
Just rip on Musk, not his customers.
That’s unfortunate, I’m sorry you’ve been the target of bullying. I’m just saying we as humans gossip about one another all the time. If it’s directed with the intent to harm a real peer I’m not okay with that. Although we do indeed require a way to vent and gripe when stressed about certain situations or persons and that’s okay.
Is it because YOU own a cybertruck? Lol
Uh, no. I own a-- Actually fuck off.
It’s not really bullying because they’re generally wealthier than us and bought these trucks as a status symbol. Society is rejecting that bid at higher status.
Yeah that logic checks out. Nevermind, sorry for bothering you.
Me being upvoted a few times makes me suspect people don’t realize I’m being facetious.
Re: edit: stop bullying me.
Amazing how bad those panels look after what, a few months?
What’s on the top of the picture? I can’t figure it out.
Looks like picture was taken from a jeep or some other sort of vehicle with a soft top, and we’re seeing that top hanging down into the shot
It’s like a tarp or something? I’ve been trying to figure it out too.
I think they’re in some sort of lot, under a tent. The Lego truck isn’t on asphalt. You can see how the road runs past it in the upper left.
Looks like the picture was taken from the passenger seat of a car with the ceiling coming unglued from the roofNvm, that is the top of a car, not the windshield wipers. Looks like some sort of awning.
I’ve never seen a car locked like this before.
What’s stops someone from simply changing the tire? This seems like a bad design for a boot.
Most cars don’t come with a spare these days. That’s all
Isn’t changing a tire on any of the Teslas a bit of a challenge because of the weight? Do they come with heavy duty jacks? I wonder if the Cybertruck even comes with a spare at all.
It does not, however you can apparently buy a kit for $1250
https://insideevs.com/features/699202/tesla-cybertruck-accessories-guide/
You could. But they still know who owns the car. They also charge you for the cost of the boot.
Bring the tire with you when you pay the fine so they can take the boot off. All this does is create an inconvenience instead of immobilizing the vehicle.
“oh no, they’re paying their fines which is what we wanted them to do”
