The road is lava

Olhonestjim ,

Yep, they’re not getting that back.

tempest ,

I mean if they just wait a bit they are one road grinder away from a new road.

hakunawazo ,

This reminds me on the movie “The Thirteenth Floor”.

Looks like a challenge for Cybertruck owners, who would be gullible enough to think their “futuristic” truck probably could drive across that.

voldage ,

“When I was your age I had to walk to school through 5kms of lava, just to avoid fighting with bears again, it was actually faster if I ran” just kidding I know we don’t have money to raise children anymore

Picture reminds me of East Cleveland (not to be confused with the east side of Cleveland; “East Cleveland” is it’s own city. The roads are this bad but I’m sure anyone who could fix the roads are too scared to go there…

Also looks like Detroit after some rain. The right lanes literally flood.

Midwest needs a redesign.

Hikermick ,

They’re not scared, the city simply doesn’t have the money. I’ve seen the fire department filling potholes. Euclid ave has been fixed up. Terrace has been blocked off, I used to see cars driving on the sidewalk to avoid the pot holes

mightyfoolish ,

I’m just poking fun of the reputation it has. I hear crazy rumors about East Cleveland from “mayor stole all the funds” and it’s normal to find human remains in your yard. Mind you, I also live in the urban Midwest, it’s just East Cleveland seems next level bad.

I have noticied South Euclid is getting nicer. NE Ohio has potential, it’s just so resource starved.

HOT LAVA! LAVA!

That’s what insanity prawn boy says

instantnudeln ,

You still come in to work tomorrow, right?

xilona ,

Yes sir! Will bring some lava with me 😂😂😂

Draegur ,

Yeah grab yourself a couple buckets full and just blot out the rest with several stacks of gravel :D

dual_sport_dork ,
@dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world avatar

You just need one water bucket.

Glunk. Tss, tss, tss, tss, tss.

You bought a diamond pickaxe too, right?

timmymac ,

I want to go to Iceland because I hear it’s awesome plus I like the added danger it might blow up at any moment.

echodot ,

It’s also fun how massively expensive it is. And their currency makes it feel even more expensive. Want a loaf of bread that’ll be 23,000 krona.

But it’s got hot spring and a surprisingly vibrant nightlife so it’s all worth it.

Tryptaminev ,

1 EUR = 149.307 ISK. I highly doubt a loaf of bread to be 154 EUR

boonhet ,

If it is, I’m going to move to Iceland to grow wheat and bake and sell bread. This software engineering thing suddenly doesn’t seem all that lucrative.

xilona ,

Let’s do this!

Noodle07 ,

The problems start when your wheat field gets covered by lava

boonhet ,

I thought lava was Icelandic for fertilizer

recklessengagement ,

Wasn’t that expensive when I went last year, actually felt relatively affordable. Actually, all of Europe felt affordable compared to food prices in the US…

Chonk ,

It looks like ocean

intensely_human ,

Like the ice oceans in the Mars trilogy

NikkiDimes ,

Ahhhh, the books that I bought and never read because I don’t read anymore. :(

Nicoleism101 , (edited )

Okay, this is my next digital painting attempt reference no doubt. The composition is great out of the box. Easy textures, palette

Etterra ,

My biggest question is, why haven’t they changed their turn name to Grimdark - I mean it’s right there - and will they do so now?

Etterra ,

I bet a Cybertruck couldn’t make it, prove me wrong.

hperrin ,

I’m not even sure they can sell Cybertruck in Iceland. Most developed countries have pedestrian safety standards that the Cybertruck can’t pass.

vxx ,

Off-roading in Iceland is strictly forbidden.

Numenor ,

What really?

Numenor ,

I checked and it’s true :

  1. Off-Road Driving: Damaging and Illegal Off-road driving is strictly prohibited in Iceland, and those caught engaging in the activity can face hefty fines of up to 100,000 ISK per person. Off-road driving can cause irreversible damage to Iceland’s fragile ecosystems, particularly the moss, which takes hundreds of years to grow. Iceland’s moss plays a vital role in preventing soil erosion and retaining water and humidity, making its preservation crucial. In 2018, a group of French tourists mistakenly believed off-road driving was allowed in Iceland, causing significant damage and getting stuck, leading to public outcry.
  1. F-Roads: A Legal and Exciting Alternative F-roads, or mountain roads, can only be accessed by 4x4 vehicles and are open for a limited period each year, typically from July to September. F-roads are often confused with off-road driving due to their unpaved, rugged appearance and rural settings, but they are legal to drive on. Some F-roads might require crossing rivers and navigating rough terrain, which is why only 4x4 vehicles are allowed on these roads. On maps, F-roads are marked with an “F” followed by a number, e.g., “F413”. Some F-roads may not be clearly labeled in person, so always check your route carefully.

Crikeste ,

God, Nordic countries are so fucking cool.

MeThisGuy ,

viking ships is the way

RizzRustbolt ,

Well yeah, they are further north.

TachyonTele ,

We’re talking about the cybertruck, no one is going to successfully off road in one of those anyways.

englislanguage ,

I guess that is why Etterra is betting on it. Maybe to motivate another Darwin Award winner.

ByteJunk ,
@ByteJunk@lemmy.world avatar

They cannot.

EU safety rules specifically forbid sharp edges (kudos to the visionary who thought about including that one…).

Additionally, it’s weight is absolutely ridiculous, to the point that you cannot drive it with a standard B licence (you need at least C1, which requires specific classes and written + driving exams).

Not to mention, many streets simply cannot accommodate a car so large, and there’s zero parking space for such a monstrosity in most city centers…

Edit: actually I’m not sure if Iceland included these specific EU rules, so maybe they can actually sell it there?..

uranibaba ,

EU safety rules specifically forbid sharp edges

That would explain why old cars had a more blocky design while newer cars have a more rounded design (in addition to aerodynamics I assume).

NotMyOldRedditName ,

The cybertruck (6653 lbs) weighs less than a Ford 150 lightning (6745lbs) and Rivian R1T (7148lbs)

It’s not even worth looking up the Silverado or Hummer with their humongous batteries

All EV full size trucks are very heavy due to the batteries right now.

For the cybertruck, the stainless steel design actually allowed them to reduce weight by the steel being part of the structure, thus reducing or removing the need for things like side impact crash structures

ByteJunk ,
@ByteJunk@lemmy.world avatar

All of which require you to get a licence to drive lorries. Your point?

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Sure, but it’s weight, for what it is, isn’t absolutely ridiculous and is actually best in class.

englislanguage ,

Yes, its weight is absolutely ridiculous. The other hobbyist’s tanks you mentioned are too. Just because there is more of the same (minus razor sharp edges and rust), doesn’t mean it isn’t sh*t too.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices ,

it’s weight is ridiculous, generally speaking.

it’s weight simultaneously ISN’T ridiculous for what it is. Context. For what it is, it is the least ridiculous of all those ridiculously heavy trucks.

NotMyOldRedditName , (edited )

Can you believe those Tesla Model 3 LR. They weigh 4,034 lbs, and it’s a SEDAN! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! The comparable ICE Mercedes-Benz A-Class only weighs 3395 lbs, what was Tesla thinking!

ASeriesOfPoorChoices ,

what’s crazy is how bad those other trucks are - their batteries are huge, for barely any more range than the cybertruck. I think one of them is double the kw/km or whatever that the CT uses. I mean, the CT is hot garbage, but it’s amazing that it’s the least hot garbage of its class. (on paper.)

NotMyOldRedditName ,

It’s the Hummer. 205kwh (311miles) vs 123kwh (320 miles CyberBeast/340 AWD).

At least the Silverado while heavier, gets more range which if you really need the range for towing, is beneficial.

ByteJunk ,
@ByteJunk@lemmy.world avatar

That’s kinda like saying “I got the better kind of herpes!”

NotMyOldRedditName ,

I got this boat I gotta tow 150 miles, sure glad I can choose the better herpes, and definitely better than years ago when my only choice was cancer!

ByteJunk ,
@ByteJunk@lemmy.world avatar

You should consider sailing it instead, I’ve heard boats are actually decent at that.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

This boat was meant for one lake

And that’s just what it’ll do.

None of these days this boat is going find another lake.

echodot ,

Edit: actually I’m not sure if Iceland included these specific EU rules, so maybe they can actually sell it there?..

Unless the Icelandic government explicitly passes a law to override an EU mandate, then the EU mandate applies in Iceland. It’s a weird setup, as they are not actually in the EU so I’m unclear about why they follow EU mandates at all. I assume it makes trade easier.

It’s hard to see why they would pass a law to override a safety consideration unless there was a grassroots movement to be able to drive cyber trucks.

ByteJunk ,
@ByteJunk@lemmy.world avatar

TIL. Ty stranger!

logi ,

so I’m unclear about why they follow EU mandates at all

We’re in the EEA which at this point includes EU, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. We get to be part of the common market and have free movement of goods and people and whatnot. But it requires “harmonising” rules across the market so that you don’t get technical hurdles instead of straight up tariffs. And then we have no say in these harmonised rules because we’re not in the EU 🤷🏼‍♂️

kusivittula ,

i wonder if they could import and then register it as a truck

mightyfoolish ,

Saw my first cybertruck in person while on the highway today. It was pretty funny looking. Also, I doubt many vehicles were created to ride lava; let alone uneven terrain to this degree.

hperrin ,

The Cybertruck was literally advertised as able to drive on Mars.

intensely_human ,

Mars is nicely weathered since it hasn’t seen volcanic activity in an extremely long time.

englislanguage ,

Mars also does not have water. This explains why they didn’t care to properly protect the metal from rust I guess

ASeriesOfPoorChoices ,

well… not much, anyway.

intensely_human ,

A bit of rust

StupidBrotherInLaw ,

I also recently saw my first in person. It is bigger than I expected and looks really stupid.

gmtom ,

Why don’t they just move the infrastructure away from the volcano? Are they stupid?

hperrin ,

You mean toward the other volcanoes?
