ylaiTesla Cybertruck Dominated by F-150 Lightning In Sand Drag Race
AmbiguousPropsNo shit, the Cybertruck can’t offroad.
QuetzlcoatlCybertruck cant really truck. Turns out its just hot wheels for man-children.
Turns out its just hot wheels for man-children.
Like 90% of the point of hot wheels was looking cool, so I have to respectfully disagree
My six year old thinks it looks cool. If you adjust for hot wheels demographics I think they’re golden
I have decades more experience in being a child and I think it looks stupid.
I regret to inform you that your manchild card has been revoked
No you!
LucidlethargyA cold wheels, then?
That’s what the majority of sedans masquerading as trucks are used for anyway.
Pavement Princess or emotional support vehicle. Really hate the area I live in currently, my street is cluttered with them.
I am starting to see them as well makes me glad seeing how battered my Honda Civic looks these days. My car got shit done all those trucks were just there as a penis size compensation device
Yeah my golf gets most shit moved, really want a tow ball installed so I don’t need to steal my partner’s car for heavier / larger jobs.
Diesel euro wagon gang here.
I’ve used them to move, to haul furniture or copious amounts of firewood… And 2 out of the 3 I’ve owned have had ridiculous mileages put on them by previous owners, while still maintaining reliability as far as the powertrain is concerned (admittedly, I’ve had to deal with minor electric issues and obviously I’ve replaced some control arms and tie rods).
Similar to, but not quite the same as the kind of man-child that buys an F-150 on the off chance they need to haul a dresser once every 4 years. Seriously though, if each one of these buyers keeping US truck bloat in style bought a motorcycle instead to cement their self-worth, traffic would be eliminated in most US cities. That’s not possible due to many factors, I know, but it must be said motorcycles are just way cooler.
Problem then is, You Still gotta buy a truck to buy and haul your 2nd motorcycle, your 3rd motorcycle, your dirt bike, and your track bike.
And the truck-boat-truck carried on the tow bar
And the truck-boat-truck-boat-jetski
These insecure babies would never get on a motorcycle, it’s too dangerous.
Most F150 also own a fart rocket
Once in Bangkok I watched as three people loaded a dresser on a motorcycle, got him started, and then watched him drive off. It was balanced perpendicular.
Remember thinking that I would pay money to see this in the US. So freaken cool.
RubberDuckNonsense design vanity project made for toddler CEO underperforms in comparison to actual pickup designed and built by manufacturer of the top selling pickup… who would have guessed.
I bet Musk thought he was a genius that could revolutionize trucks, just like Apple revolutionized smartphones.
I admit I still think the model S was pretty cool originally, but now there are better offers IMO, BMW and Audi have some very nice upper middle class cars, that I doubt very much Tesla can match the quality of. If money is not a problem, I’d go with a Mercedes. For a cheaper practical everyday car, I’d go with VW or Hyundai.
But goddam I just tried my neighbors BMW I4- eDrive 40, that’s an amazing car with great range IMO. I’ve never been in a car that was that silent smooth and comfortable, and yet had stellar grip and handling. Even when you fired it up with everything it has, it was still quiet, you just felt the pressure of acceleration in the back. 😋
Well that BMW i4 is almost as smooth as this Marlboro cigarette that I’m enjoying right now.
I tell you, nothing helps relax you more than unwinding with a Marlboro cigarette. The rich full flavour and slow toasted leaves with the extra fine filter ensures I get the best experience. Every time.
Marlboro. It’s what Lemmy users prefer™
Smoking is dumb as shit dude
I think they’re suggesting the BMW comment reads like an ad by responding like an ad.
Ahhh I’m dumb as shit dude
Sounds like you don’t smoke cigarettes, so not that dumb!
Got big Mad Men vibes from this.

It has to be a sand race because the Cybertruck gets completely disabled from moisture.
I’m out of the loop on this one…?
A cyber truck had a major malfunction and stopped working because it went into a car wash without being in “car wash” mode. The joke is that Cybertrucks cannot get wet.
Ah… If I remember correctly; not being in a carwash mode caused the screen to freeze and because of a bug the hard reset took hours instead of minutes. The car was back up and running the next day and I believe the bug has been patched as well
That’s not something that should happen to a car that is on the road.
Technically a car wash is not the road. Checkmate, atheists.
Waiting for the day we see the advisement to put the Tesla into carwash mode during heavy rainfalls.
LinkerbaanBut the Cybertruck is advertised as an off-road vehicle. Elonvangelists in shambles.
Enjoy spending $100k plus for the privilege of beta testing our half-baked product.
It did not. The vehicle was in the owner’s carage. I believe it was water in the charging port that caused the front screen to freeze up. Everything else was working normally.
That doesn’t improve things.
And by production car on the road I mean “by a car that is in production and allowed to drive on the road” though I admit it was vague and easy to take literally in that regard.
Unacceptable behavior for a vehicle.
Personally I would enjoy spending $100k+ to get to be the beta tester for a half-baked product
Don’t worry, the guy who came up with the Idea was fully baked
My “car wash mode” is rolling up the windows, haven’t ever had the car I own brick itself on me.
experbiawow. does the factory that made it have absolutely no quality control processes in place? I would be embarrassed to own a vehicle that did that, and more than a little worried about it’s safety.
FizzIts embarrassing that people are downvoting a post providing context. They’re acting like you are here defending the cyber truck.

demonswordcomplaining about downvotes usually gets you more downvotes more often than not
It’s not the downvotes that’s the issue. It’s the insanity of being blinded by hatred to the point of not being able to think straight anymore.
you might disagree with me here, but IMO hating Musk (or any billionaire) is morally right though
Hate is a toxic emotion. It poisons your own mind but leaves the target of it unaffected.
Also as I don’t believe in free will, hate is an uncompatible concept in my world view anyway. It assumes the person I’m directing my anger towards is personally responsible for who they are. In my view they could not be otherwise.
Pat_RiotHow does one not believe in free will? Asking seriously.
Just a heads up that this topic makes some people feel really uncomfortable to think about.
It’s because I don’t think the “self” exists either. Without a self there’s nothing that even could make decisions to begin with. I don’t believe in some “entity” or a “sould” somewhere inside our heads, behind our faces, looking out into the world and making independent decisions. We’re not authoring our thoughts and actions. They’re just appearing. You don’t know what you’re going to think next, and you can’t think of a thought before you think it. You can even observe this happening in real time by just paying close enought attention.
We’re biological beings that consist of matter, and matter obeys the laws of physics. “Free will” as in “I could’ve done otherwise” doesn’t make any logical sense to me. If we could go back in time we’d all do the same things all over again. That’s how deterministic universe works. The key factor here is consciousness. It feels like something to be. The sense of free will is probably useful belief for survival, but for the very least I’d argue that it’s not like most people think it is.
That’s an interesting take. Strikes me as a bit nihilistic, but I’m sure this is the most surface of explanations lacking the depth of concept to really get the idea across. I can’t say it jives with me, but I have heard less reasonable notions.
Yeah I find it interesting how many see the idea as negative. I find it freeing in many ways and it helps me make much better sense of the world and people, I think.
Sam Harris can explain it better than I ever could in case you’re interested.

I’ll give him a listen. I enjoy hearing different points of view.
Thank you for the fact check
They also rust, like, instantly.
Because the stainless steel is not stainless and a protective coating is optional, not standard like… you know, on every other car.
Well, it’s very meaningful to continue to support your emotional support corporations. They need us as much as we need them. That’s why you need to buy the product, and the “continued use” package. They’re not charging extra for standard things just to charge extra. It’s about the continued closeness in your relationship with daddy Tesla.
Stainless steel that gets coated is no longer stainless steel. Stainless steel requires exposure to sufficient oxygen in order to maintain the protective oxide layer.
These are rudder bolts from the same gudgeon on my sailboat. The black stuff is anoxic corrosion.
