UtMan1988Sucks to suck!
How long does it take to tame a Cybertruck?.. 🤔
2 weeks with an angle grinder ought to do it.
They’re weak to water.
Are we taming, maiming or killing though?
I fine with all three if it’s a dumb truck.
Make sure to wash it with gasoline to remove the rust đź‘Ť
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 the quickest known thing 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.
RhaedasThank goodness they put the sticker on the window. It would have damaged the door.
… Wouldn’t that be especially bad on a normal painted door’s clear coat?
Paint on that door looks like it’s already fucked.
It’s not paint it’s bare stainless steel. Those are fingerprints that you’re seeing.
Do you open up the door by clawing at the outside with no handle?
Yes, if you’re following the manufacturer’s recommendation.
lol paint
Looks like you got some ransomware.
The orange tag says “FUCK YOU” with no further elaboration.
BlueLineBaeYou 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?
explodicleElectric = Liberuls
yea that didn’t happen
Thank you, oh arbiter of truth on the internet.
The cyberpinto got booted
Even the tires are ugly. That’s… kind of impressive.
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”
LucidlethargyWait, yeah… Why do they look like that? I’ve literally never seen ugly tires in my entire life before. This is the first time.
burgersc12They’re supposed to have wheel covers but IIRC they cost extra
Those 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
CatoblepasSo what! I love scraping rust off my vehicle every week
-cyber truck owners, presumably
Still love the truck!
Flying SquidThey 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.
Captain AggravatedYeah 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
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.
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.
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 roof
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
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
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”
The Tesla Rusty Triangle, the vehicle for your high-iron, low-poly lifestyle.
theprogressivist This is art. Lmao
archonetThe 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.
FizzAnd whoever put the lock on would have an even bigger laugh when they bill you for the damages.
Unless they can’t prove you were the one who damaged it. “Well, shucks, officer, I just tried to drive away with it on and it just sort of fell off. Dunno what happened to it after that, not my problem. You should invest in better boots.”
I’ve seen enough YouTube to know someone’s gonna find it with a magnet on a fishing pole.
hence why we grind off serial numbers. If you really wanted to be thorough, you’d cut it up into unrecognizable chunks.
This all sounds much easier than paying a ticket
