It's the new status symbol for people with fuck you money.

It's also marketed as being "rugged" despite getting stuck in situations a Trabant could manage.

I’d take a Trabant 601 Universal over one of those tin can lookin things any day.

Didn't they had a production of 3800 cybertrunk in total?

Lmao, if they where a living animal they would be considered an endangered specie.

Cybertrucks do love backing up to poodles to drown its owners there

maybe they get thirsty? need a cool drink to cool down that battery??

The cyber truck needs to throw it's batteries in the ocean, it heard the siren song of the electric eels who want to be recharged.

Buying a cyber truck is very strong evidence that you have poor decision-making abilities

It’s an amphibious exploring vehicle

God, what a stupid looking car

Musky probably drew it on a napkin and his servants either took it literally because they unironically think he's a genius, or they were too afraid of him having a tantrum and destroying their lives so they just went with it.

The drunken fratbro mode for Full Self Driving doesn't quite work as expected, would've preferred if it went headfirst and would've flipped the vehicle. Hopefully they'll make it more authentic with the next patch!

Still love the truck tho!

they were trying to prove their loyalty by doing a boat mode reel

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

too bad the boat mode doesn't come with a "easing the boat down a ramp" mode

this is a combination of people who like tesla enough to buy a cybertruck being dumbasses combined with people who buy a cybertruck never having owned or driven a truck in their lives so they don't have a realistic expectation of what they're capable of

I say this as someone who got a 4x4 extremely stuck in a position very much like this when I was 18, at about 1AM, with four other guys riding with me. We at least had the sense to be doing this stupid shit within walking distance of a friend's dad's tractor, so it wasn't a serious problem.

edit: oh also this is probably a result of the stupid things not having "lockers" despite it just being a question of a software update

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

It's basically a self selection bias. The type of person that has both the financial means and want to buy a cyber truck is bound to do stupid shit with it.

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't know they come in black. What a fugly car.

They don't.
The owner paid extra to wrap it.

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Voided the warranty right before taking a drink from the pond. Darn

[–] musicpostingonly@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Riverbank to the left of the truck looks messed up. Looks to me like the might have been driving along the waters edge, tried to turn left to get out of the area and the rear end followed gravity and swung down, pointing them how they are now.

I think that the type of people who would buy this car come with a level of unseriousness that would raise the likelyhood of doing stuff like this, so there might be a causation there.

Milord hath decreed all rivers be forded by way of Cyberwagon! you-are-a-serf

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

It's supposed to be able to go off-road. A river is off-road. Therefore, it should work!

[–] poppy_apocalypse@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Is that the front that's in the drink, or the back? I honestly can't tell.
