I saw one irl for the first time today. They’re baffling to look at.

It looked wrong. It looks like a rendering error, or like someone put a car in that’s animated in a different style than the rest of reality. When you look at it you question if you’re living in the matrix because it looks like it doesn’t exist in our universe. Credit where credit’s due, it’s impressive they were able to make something look that strange.

It's so much smaller in reality than it appears in photos. Like, barely SUV sized. I'm not advocating for large vehicles, but if you're so car brained that you want to get a truck, you wouldn't want the clown car version. Really a who is this for? scenario

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I like how it looks but hate the company and most of the people who buy the car.

this is the same truck that can allegedly ford a river, yes?

[–] [email protected] 68 points 2 months ago

Only in dry water.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago

No, it gets pulled out of the river by a Ford.

That's fucking hilarious. The bazgina mobile was specifically marketed for off road iirc.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

I am incredibly impressed

I absolutely despise cars but I can’t help but go “Ooooh” every time I see a corvette

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hate cars as a necessity. Nobody should NEED a car.

That said as a hobby they are very fun. I've had 2 c4 corvettes and while extremely stupid, they were quite fun.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So, how were each of your Corvettes best Corvette?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

My 84 was absolutely not the best corvette, it was utter dogshit but also very amusing. Made it look hella cool though. Black with a purple racing stripe and had the interior redone with that as well. For basically a worthless ass car lol.

My 92 was extremely nice. 45k miles when I got it in 2017. Sold it 2 years later for film equipment and then the film industry died here. Rip.

The amount of CYA language in the manual is fucking astonishing.

The whole thing is apparently one big version of those stickers you see on the back of work trucks saying they aren't responsible for damage caused by unsecured loads flying out of the back of their vehicle.

It would get you drummed out of court if you ever tried to argue it wasn't a completely hollow threat, but apparently that completely hollow threat is effective enough to justify their existence.

Is the first page of the manual just "your problem now, sucker!"

Hold up a sec here. Isn't there supposed to be a giant waiting list to get a Cybertruck?

Oh no. giant-rat

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago (1 children)

or in direct sunlight.

It's so ugly that even the manual indirectly advise to drive in the night only.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

It's an affront to the laws of the universe and the judgments will kill it on sight

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 months ago

Indoor use only.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago

Imagine spending $100k on a toy and the dealer doesn’t even have the courtesy to put up an inflatable dancing tube man, a glass building, and a refreshments. Literally just a trailer park in the middle of a dirt field lol

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can I charge it after midnight?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yes but it will turn into an AMC Gremlin

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Better car honestly, also looks cooler.

do no put your vehicle in direct sunlight

Elon Musk is REALLY leaning into that Las Vegas “trains but stupider” tunnel idea

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd buy one for about $3.50

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Think of all the scrrraaap you could get off of it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The manual actually says that?

So basically the cyber truck is designed to be a museum piece?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Purchasing voids warranty

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

you know what? just don't put it anywhere.

not indoors. not outdoors. under any atmospheric pressure but also do not expose to vacuum.

don't expose to any ppm of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon, neon, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and especially not water vapor

do not expose to sunlight or darkness. moonlight may also have deleterious effects
