I saw one of these for the first time the other day and was kind of awestruck at how dumb it looked in real life. I mean, I was never a big fan of the design but it really looked so much worse in person

Wait, you've never wanted to drive a doorstop?

SAME! I was surprised both at how big it was, and how much I didn't like it.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Just saw one for the first time today. Man its honestly much worse in person.

[–] BackOnMyBS 12 points 6 months ago (2 children)

it might be the ugliest car ever made honestly, i urge people to find an uglier mass-produced car.

Is it already rusting? lol

[–] rockSlayer 68 points 6 months ago (3 children)

It's stainless steel so it's just surface level, but yes lmao it wasn't treated for outdoor use

[–] barsquid 49 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Maybe it encountered some extreme conditions, like a car wash.

So what! I love scraping rust off my vehicle every week

-cyber truck owners, presumably

[–] FlyingSquid 17 points 6 months ago

They don't do that, but they are supposed to clean it right away whenever they park. Really.

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.

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.

[–] FlyingSquid 14 points 6 months ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Best part is the fingerprints that act as a door handle

[–] hardcoreufo 17 points 6 months ago

Ew I missed that. Someone is not following the factory recommend hourly full chassis wipedowns.

[–] Cipher22 30 points 6 months ago (3 children)

What's on the top of the picture? I can't figure it out.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's like a tarp or something? I've been trying to figure it out too.

The best part is, the sort of person that drives a Cybertruck is absolutely not the sort of truck ("truck") owner that keeps an inverter and power tools in the bed, because anyone with an angle grinder would have a hearty chuckle at that before driving home.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 months ago (19 children)

And whoever put the lock on would have an even bigger laugh when they bill you for the damages.

doesn't it have an inverter built in? with sockets in the tray bed area?

Wait tgis is a real car? Wow I thought it was an art project or AI meme

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] victorz 11 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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...

I was traveling for work recently and saw one of these every morning, and God damn did it fire me up to rage against the machine.

I saw once in the wild last week and it was wrapped in silver vinyl. That seems like a necessity for these trucks.

It is, and it’s like $2000 extra

Amazing how bad those panels look after what, a few months?

[–] Ironfacebuster 13 points 6 months ago

I recently saw one in Tennessee too, and I was pretty lucky I was wearing sunglasses driving by it! It was early afternoon, with clear skies all around lol

For the record, the one I saw didn't have a boot on it, yet

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Lol what a douchebag. I love to see it.

The Tesla Rusty Triangle, the vehicle for your high-iron, low-poly lifestyle.

Looks like you got some ransomware.
