Perfect for the mall ninja crowd
Pity it can’t hold up to a guy tugging on the bezel with one hand
Why the fuck would 99% of people need to think about bullets hitting their car?
Sneezes in American.
Sadly, it is not bulletproof enough to save black Americans from a hail of police bullets.
do they sneeze bullets in America? wouldn’t be surprised
Yep. It’s why we don’t cover our mouths when we sneeze.
so that’s why Americans said they can’t breathe in a mask, their version was bullet proof
Good for taking kids to school and bringing them home
When in America…
Imagine making a social media account just to rusty trombone a corporation
There’s even a Lemmy user that’s done that @[email protected]
Hello!
I always find it interesting to see which people assume my username represents an endorsement of the person…
From what I saw on a YouTube channel that tested the cyber truck. It can take anything up to a 22. Beyond that you’re screwed
.308 maybe… From 600 yards.
As someone relatively ignorant of firearms I couldn’t name a smaller caliber. Isn’t 22 a very lightweight round?
Lightweight and low-energy.
They aren’t shitting their pants because they can actually get to a bathroom in their cars
Yes let’s all make cars ridiculously strong and kill pedestrians because fuck them!
Seriously, the cyber truck is an embarrassment. The only positive thing I can say about its design is at least it doesn’t have a tall, blunt front end that minimizes pedestrian visibility while maximizing pedestrian fatality, as seems to be the current trend.
My mother in laws car looked like that after a heavy hail storm, this is not a gun being used lol. What a pathetic publicity stunt.
They re did that stunt at release. They changed it up to gingerly throwing a tennis ball instead.
This was done with a hammer.
Aside from the fact that you’d be funding the nazis, it’s so fucking ugly…
And you know what, I’m a fan of the rugged look with the brushed steel and all that. I just can’t get past the lines, they are so terrible. It really looks like a kid drew it but in a bad way. If they’d made it square it would be nice imho
It’s like he was trying to draw a Delorian from memory and forgot it wasn’t a truck.
Honestly if I had to have a notoriously unreliable car, I’d pick a Delorian over this any day.
At least the Delorian can be dressed up like in BTTF.
Beauty is subjective. Nazis are not.
Looks cool, has many flaws. I’ll wait for v2
Von Braun already beat him to it.
I don’t want a rocket i want an electric vehicle that sort of reminds me of the warthog from halo
I know of no one who think’s that’s an attractive car. it must be the exception.
Beauty may be subjective, but a very small number of subjects find the Cybertruck to be beautiful.
Maybe a hot take, but I thought it looked cool in the concept images (though those are obviously unburdened by the constraints of reality). Unfortunately, so much of that sleekness it was originally going for was killed by the time the physical product went into production, and the low build quality is very apparent from pretty much any photos of one you can find.
I guess to each their own. To me, it always looked like a fiberglass shell put on an El Camino in a 1980s straight-to-VHS Mad Max ripoff movie.
Ironically, that would make it a better and more reliable vehicle.
If it’s on fire and the autolocks, you know the doors are strong enough to not budge when you try to kick them open.
The autolock on the fire, to me, is proof that Elon fully intends this to be a working feature. He probably would want all of his cars like this so if anyone in one of his cars displeases him he can have the battery overheat into a blaze AND prevent the occupants from escaping.
I don’t know how anyone thinks buying a Tesla, and in any way supporting the guy supporting the Nazis in the EU, is acceptable.
This ☝️. Even buying a BMW, VW, or Porsche (former Nazi conspirators) probably isn’t as bad as buying a Tesla from a current-day Nazi
This is what I don’t get. BMW, VW, and Porsche are all companies that supported the Nazis. Assuming that 99% of all employees at those companies when they supported the Nazis are no longer working there, what does it matter that they supported the Nazis? BMW, VW, and Porsche aren’t a real person each. There’s no Mr. BMW going into a secret mountain lair snickering while rubbing their hands together. It’s really just a name for an economic system. The people all change like the boards on the ship of Theseus. And it wasn’t BMW’s, VW’s, or Porsche’s fault for not having just ethics. The entire country was taken over by Nazi’s. Surely the people that resisted were removed or punished. Maybe some employees pulled a Schindler and protected people as best they could. Others tried that CIA sabotage manual shit that’s hilarious. Some were all about Nazis. But, none of those people are there anymore in any effectual number. In other words, BMW is just a name as I understand it. Is there something I’m missing? Do we need to rename it to something else so that suddenly the root essence that supported the Nazi’s is removed? While we’re at it, do we need to rename Germany/Deutchland or shame them until they change their name?
I think it should depend on the company at the time of the purchase, but that the company is still responsible for their branding.
Although, I also think the real answer is that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism and any outrage is being misplaced onto a company instead of the system that caused it.
I agree with many of your points. My last car was a BMW and I currently drive an Audi. This article from 2022 about David de Jong’s book Nazi Billionaires goes into pretty good depth about this
Other nazis and those who won’t admit they are nazis are okay with it.
At this point, do any companies seriously see the cybertruck as “competition”?
Yes. These selling assault rifles and inflatable dolls. Cash is limited.
SAAB. Maybe.
Sorry, I don’t see cybertrucks getting off the ground.
Doubt it. No one builds cars like this and its on purpose. Steel this thick is heavy, costs more and has no benefit at all.
It’s not a genius move to make steel thick. There isn’t anything special about the metal they are using ,
Everyone should watch the Top Gear Hilux episodes, and ask if a Cybertruck could go through that.
Some YouTubers have beaten up more modern trucks too.
Some youtuber got a wankpanzer and, I think, an f150 to do “durability tests” with. Since the actual point is to create internet content, and the creator might kinda like elon for some reason, it’s obvious that the tests and their results are ridiculous. It’s like:
“Oh, no! The cybertruck’s frame snapped off! There goes your trailer! The air suspension broke! The stupid tablet became a disco party of red warnings! …but the f150 couldn’t jump 5 feet into the air, and also the door has a hole in it from when we used explosives, issues which the cybertruck doesn’t have. So they’re neck and neck, really.”
whistling douche bag
