I’ve seen one nearby and every time I’ve seen it I’ve been like “found the dumbass”

Really? I’ve seen a few of them around Portland, here. Most of them are wrapped.

I’ve seen them maybe 10 times so far, though some of them were probably the same one again since it was during my commute.

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…

NGL, that looks rad.

In its natural environment.

I’ve seen probably a dozen. My neighbor’s bf has one actually. No idea why he got one other than he might be highly invested in Tesla. He also has a Model 3. But then his other car is a late 70s F-150.

stoly ,

I’ve only seen one and was shocked at how much worse it looks in person.

wjrii ,

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.

Eiri ,

Wow, even worse than the pictures that are already super ugly? Yeesh.

stoly ,

I was surprised!!

shalafi ,

I think the design is neat, though wildly impractical. And “impractical” doesn’t begin to cover the engineering and manufacturing flaws. Impractical, fragile and falling apart day-1? Sign me up!

Figure they’ll be like Deloreans some day, a few monied collectors keeping them going for nostalgia.

Never had any love for the man, never cared, but if you haven’t seen this video, heysus christos, this tells you all you need to know about Musk in a few short seconds.

ramenshaman ,

I see them a lot and am still shocked at how bad they look.

Rooskie91 ,

Was this the Whistlin Diesel Tesla?

Guess we will find out in the next video.

From the damage present in the picture, it almost looks like they tried to drive it.

Can’t be, driving it voids the warranty

something_random_tho ,

Wow, that Cybertruck is holding up great! Looks like the flames were limited to the front quarter, and the seats haven’t rusted through the base of the car, yet. That’s better than most!

elgordino ,

Was it left outside in the rain?

I think they tried to drive it through a car wash and it started on fire.

I hate this truck as much as the next guy but, isn’t this what any and every car looks like after a fire?

Empricorn ,

It’s… 1 year old. You don’t often find so many reports, news stories, and images of a brand-new $80,000+ vehicle deteriorated or self-immolated a single year later.

ch00f ,

EVs tend to look like https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e672558e-6f1e-45cd-9330-d07f81d03cd3.jpeg this after a battery fire, and the Cybertruck is easily the most hated vehicle ever made. I wouldn’t assume that this one caught itself on fire.

Empricorn ,

I’m sorry, are you suggesting that people are spending 6 figures purchasing, then destroying these vehicles… as a meme??

hemko ,

No but could be a fire unrelated to the trucks electronics, or one that was well contained either by design or more likely a lucky accident

But yes I’ve also seen videos of people shooting at cybertrucks so who tf knows maybe???

ch00f ,

In case you’re not being sarcastic, Whistlindiesel…

But they’ve also been the target of some vandalism.

ech ,

Continue to stay away from youtube. It’s a dark place.

deranger ,

I try not to go to Reddit so much, but the CyberStuck sub is pretty good and not replicated elsewhere. There are so many problems with these vehicles it’s astonishing. They aren’t nearly as capable as they were touted to be, either.

halcyoncmdr ,

You also don’t have a ton of idiots doing stupid things to make their vehicle have issues intentionally usually either.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of YouTube videos of people purposely putting the vehicle in extreme situations and situations it wasn’t intended for. Not to mention the ones just doing it because “Fuck Elon”, after paying $100k for the vehicle, because they’ll get the money back from YouTube ads on videos milking it as much as possible.

I’m not saying all the videos are that, many are legitimate reviews and tests. But a lot are also purposely trying to damage it.

tipicaldik ,

take a drive by the Tesla service center in Pensacola… you can see a bunch of them parked there.

shalafi ,

Hah! First one I was over near Holt off I-10. Honestly, it seemed pretty cool, guy had some low-key black graphics on it. But after seeing the fail-train these things are, they can’t look cool to me anymore.

Also, I’m practical with my purchases, or try to be. I have a beat up 2004 F150 that actually runs, can get wet and hauls 5x what a Cybertruck can. I get buying stuff for the cool factor, but what’s the use case here?!
