From the damage present in the picture, it almost looks like they tried to drive it.
Can’t be, driving it voids the warranty
Buying probably voids the warranty
It proves they’re mentally unfit to operate a vehicle.
Buying one of these things proves you’re mentally unfit.
(your joke but worse)
Yup, I was tired
I’ve seen two in person (possible, same one just twice). It was bigger and dumber looking than I thought it would be. The style contrasts with literally everything around it. In every possible way, it looks unfinished in a way no video or photo ever conveyed.
Have you seen the windshield wiper being used yet? It looks like something out of a crappy ‘art’ film.
I have not… now I gotta find a video of this
Was it left outside in the rain?
I think they tried to drive it through a car wash and it started on fire.
There is the problem, you’re not supposed to drive them
It’s Cyber Fucked. 🤔
I saw one for the first time last week. It had like a weird brownish tint to it, I’m not sure if that was the lighting or metal discoloration or what but they are ugly AF in person.
I see like 10 a day. I work in an enclave city for the uberrich where the average new home being built costs what I make in a century (and I make pretty good money money), so we’ve got lots of them.
I’ve seen a bunch getting paint jobs. The matte black ones look like what scifi Nazi gestapo would drive, but all of the paint jobs look better than the bare metal. There’s a brushed-gunmetal one that I think is a pretty attractive compared to the rest. The vehicle is still ugly, but it’s less-ugly with a good paint job.
I love around Chicago.
Can’t wait to see what all the salt on the streets does to these things over the winter.
I love around Chicago.
Be sure to use protection.
Likewise but I have yet to see one of these rust buggies in the wild. The rust will be absolutely hilarious though. I wonder how the wheel assemblies will handle the salt.
Considering how thin the control arms are for such a heavy vehicle, I think we’re gonna see a lot of 3 wheeled cyber trucks in the next 6 months.
Tow driver: Damn this thing looks like it went through the Iraq war.
Owner: I’ve had it for three weeks.
(Salesman) You can fit so many fingers in this here trunk! bangs metal
metal dents as if it were one of those disposable aluminum cooking pans you get at thanksgiving at the grocery store if you don’t have generational wealth
Yikes. Appears that this one might have caught fire?
I looks like there was fire, but it doesn’t look like it came from where the battery is. The battery runs from front to back on the bottom of the vehicle. This looks like the fire was only at the front. So perhaps whatever was impacted caught on fire but the battery never ignited perhaps?
It’s impossible to tell from a single photo, but it looks like the fire was possibly localized to the wheel-well. I can’t think of anything that might ignite in there, though.
Brakes yo. They get HOT
on EVs as far as I understand the brakes are barely used due to regenerative braking, so they should not be running hot unless the car is being driven very hard.
This is generic knowledge and not necessarily applicable to the Cybertruck however.
Spot on if it has regen braking. I haven’t had to change brake discs/shoes for 5 years.
The system is only so useful and the cybertrucks absolutely have a hydrolic system with rotors and pads:

It’s
completely disabled“significantly limited” limited when towing.I never denied the presence of brakes, I just mean for regular driving they are barely used, mostly with hard braking.
I can’t think of anything that might ignite in there, though.
Brakes yo. They get HOT
the battery can provide the energy to start a fire somewhere else in the vehicle via short circuit connection
Tesla’s have a pyrofuse that blows on impact detection which disconnects the battery:
That’s about what they look like from the factory!
I’ve only seen one and was shocked at how much worse it looks in person.
It was always, shall we say, polarizing, but the production version managed to nudge every iffy design note in the concept car in the wrong direction. It ends up looking less Mass Effect and more like a Pontiac Aztek in DeLorean cosplay.
Where’s the cuck it came with?!!
It comes with a cuck? Sign me up
I think that cuck’s name is Whistlin Diesel.
What a pile of garbage.
It was once a flaming pile of garbage!
Reminds me, it’s my first day back teaching classes and the usual cyber truck I see on the commute is gone. Students and I used to make fun of it before class, I wonder what happened to it…
It probably got wet.
you pick up your students?
Ah no, there’s just two roads people take to get to class because it’s in a weird position. The cyber truck was on one of those paths.
That’s in pretty decent shape, actually. The metal is usually more rusted, especially if they tried to wash it in a car wash.
My son LOVES Cybertrucks.
He’s 7 though, so I imagine not the market Musk was targeting
You need to get him on Back to the Future. The OG Delorean is way superior.
Way ahead of you there, he loves himself a Delorian
