Oh, a liberal cannabis gentrifier doesn’t like that people don’t appreciate his marketing scam masquerading as personal transport?
Hold on while I dig out the world’s smallest violin for him…
Interesting. https://youtu.be/rPt9hAC24MI?feature=shared
What a psycho
Investing in a license plate from Maine that just says “Event” and driving around at low speeds while smoothly sliding on and taking off my sunglasses was also probably not helpful.
Actually no our polls indicate that helped your numbers
If both are in Portland maybe it wasn’t him but the cyber truck I see somewhat often is always waving out his window to people looking at his truck. I’ve followed this truck from Portland up to standish before and for him to say he doesn’t like attention is absolutely not true…
I can’t see anyone who truly dislikes attention buying such an outlandish, hideous parody of a truck.
The article is about Portland Maine jsyk

Sorry is this the onion or not I am actually confused on this occasion
The thing that really made me dislike it is the trunk has a really sharp close that’s just begging for cut someones fingers off
Why an engineer would use a “learning algorithm” rather than just use a “never crush something” is beyond me. So poorly designed.
Because Elmo demands that his people redesign the idea of a car from the ground up, just because he wants to prove he’s The Most Special Boy. Remember when they were having all those problems with power steering, and they were like, “hey, our company is basically brand new, we’re still working out some kinks.”
Like, power steering has been solved for a long time now, there’s no need to try to reinvent it.
I’m surprised that they haven’t released any cars with three, five, or six wheels yet.
Lol, they used a “learning algorithm” for something we solved decades ago? The responsible engineer needs to get his degree revoked…
So they progressively increase closing force if it keeps detecting something but the owner keeps trying to close it. I can vaguely see the reasoning only if they aren’t confident in the frunk sensor for some reason. I mean garage doors solved this problem forever ago without having to resort to something like that.
I wonder if the “vision-based everything” mandate from Musk applies outside of autonomous driving features? Makes sense to not be confident in it if it’s just a camera…
And no crumple zones, apparently…
This seems like an overblown concern. To prove it, I’m going to make a video putting my finger in the way as it closes and I’m sure it will be fine… /s
“Hold your horses! I’m typing as fast as I can with 6 fingers!”
Seems as good a reason as any to post this.
Good luck getting it out of your head, by the way.
I take it you haven’t heard about the doors cutting people up? Yeah, that’s a thing.
What made me not like it is the damn ugly design. It looks like a joke but they are apparently serious enough to sell them looking like that.
This is getting out of hand. Like it went from a few jokes to straight up bullying and being toxic to people who didn’t do anything
They’re intentionally supporting Elon, so yeah they are
Materially supporting a fascist isn’t nothing.
You’re posting that from a device that uses resources mined by some of the planets poorest children
Drawing a line somewhere is better than not drawing a line at all.
Lmao talk about changing the topic quickly
Seriously, risking charges just to lash out at a billionaire by attacking someone using their product is absolutely crazy. It’s unhinged even without the risk of charges, especially of all the things to attack an electric vehicle - do people not remember how we’d dog on the manchildren that did similar things to prius?
Last trump election there was huge push online to make the right as uncivil as possible. It seems like this round its the left because talking to a lot of these people are reminding me of what it was like speaking to the right pre election.
My boss just got this truck. Aside from it being severely over priced it’s actually very well built and super practical and usable for light and medium light duty. Even some short distance towing.
Although for most people that can afford this thing I doubt there will be any kind of duty being performed by this truck at all.
Yeah, “super practical” seems like very curious way to describe a Cybertruck but glad you and your boss like it I guess.
The “very well built” comment also is a peculiar statement.
There’s only 3800 of these delivered so far and there’s literally hundreds of posts, pictures and videos of these abominations online showing the shoddy assembly and a flurry of technical issues.
Lol. That’s literally every single car ever made.
I once saw a video of a guy crucifying a Toyota Camry. Conversely Ford has the most number of recalls for 2023.
German luxury cars blow out their turbos at 40k miles and are so over engineered that most mechanics don’t even want to work on them.
And Chrysler products are pure shit.
I’m pretty sure at this point people just like trashing Tesla just because it’s popular.
It’s a decent truck… If you just want to hate it because you feel superior juxtaposed to your inability to afford one then I suggest finding a job that will allow you to purchase extravagant things.
It’s very practical. It has quite a bit of function built into it. You just don’t like it because you want to hate Tesla while it’s still popular.
You are hilariously wrong on both counts, but do go on about this ludicrous, overpriced, poorly designed piece of shit being practical.
Tesla did show a lot of promise at first, but Musk has been running it into the ground trying to chase short term profits - it’s objectively harmful to the company and their employees.
I think you’re just defending it blindly because you’re another ridiculous Musk fanboy, it is an objectively shitty truck. You can disagree and argue all you want, but that doesn’t change anything - the truck is still an overpriced piece of shit.
I like your use of the word objective.
I have sat in driven and looked at the Cyber truck. I actually have real world objective observation of this car and I can tell you from first-hand experience that it is practical, well made and well designed.
What you are experiencing is subjective emotional responses probably tainted by whatever media you lurk around in.
I’m not arguing with you. I’m not disagreeing with you. I am telling you my experience and interpretation of the car, you are disagreeing with those statements and that is perfectly fine. It’s your right not to like it even if you are dead wrong.
I also really like your ad hominem attack on me for being a Musk Fanboy (which I am not). Really sets you apart from the bandwagon.
But do go on blindly pointlessly hating something you know nothing about.
k
Excellent. Thank you for your capitulation. I’m happy that you agree with my assessment.
If you think that’s very well built, you must not know a lot about cars and probably need stronger contacts
I suppose you’re an automotive engineer then?
How did you know?
What?
great use of your surplus labor value
Yeah it’s funny the hate they get on here, every single person I know that’s been in a tesla on FSD has said it’d brilliant, there are endless videos of people in love with their cybertrucks that show in detail why they like it. But no, ‘i saw one go past and could just tell it was low quality’
Personally it’s not for me, it’s too big and intense even if I could afford it, it’s not a disaster though and if people like it then it’s good because they’re the people that’d probably have a massive ICE truck instead. I honestly think the people hating on it are reaching into cope territory, scratching them because they’re desperate to make them fail like they predicted.
It’s just another product on the market, people should hype up good alternatives and help them grow if they want to ‘fight elon’
Teslas in general are super ugly but this is an abomination.
IDK, some of their sedans don’t really look that bad IMO but this thing is a huge departure from previous designs.
People being assholes over it is dumb, but I can’t say I would want one. I saw one recently at my local grocery store and I couldn’t stop thinking how poorly built it looked. It just seemed like the fit and finish of the body panels was kinda bad. I got an overall feeling like it was something put together by a couple of teenagers in metal shop.
One of my neighbors has one. When the ford flex next to it is the better truck in all respects…ya done fucked up
There’s one down the street from me. It’s a damn eyesore.
Have you tried quitting to the menu and turning up texture detail? Looks like it might be something to do with anti-aliasing. Hopefully will be patched in the next update.
Instructions unclear: now wearing eye patches and can’t see anything, task failed successfully
Yeah but then all the NPCs outside wouldnt have lara croft triangle titties
Complain to the HOA… no junkers on the property or street
Lol we don’t have an HOA around here thankfully, otherwise my 50yo camper would have to find a new home
People can be shitty, but I still find it amusing that it’s so ugly and stupid it provokes people into a rage.
I don’t think it’s the car per se that angers people but the idiocy of lemmings who are destroying the world by supporting people like Trump and Musk and Nick Fuentes. And by buying a Tesla car, that’s what you do, you enable Elon Musk to keep on destroying the world.
I think it’s because it costs an obscene amount while being something only a moron would buy. So when someone who is struggling to make ends meet sees that an absolute moron has so much cash that they can blow it on something this dumb, they get angry. It’s not fair that they work hard just to make ends meet while some failson has $100k to blow on a dumb car. At least a Maserati, Porsche, or Ferrari of similar price looks cool.
Or on the flipside… No one feel this way about hideous AMC cars that have been lovingly restored and maintained. I love those hideous monsters lol.
That’s different.
Isn’t that the goal of owning a machine like that? You are trying to provoke a reaction. The car I own was the single most commonly sold sedan the year it was made. I don’t want people reacting to me, noticing me, etc. I want to be another person in the crowd.
If you take a shit in front of a camera you can’t really be upset that people are commenting on it.
I find all these comically oversized pickups obnoxious.
The cybertruck is just the latest, most obnoxious model to date.
The exact definition of a ”hateful car”.
Scratching a stranger’s car is never okay.
It is if they blatantly block sidewalks like the entitled assholes that they are.
No! Bad DarkThoughts!
You call a tow truck and have the vehicle towed at the owner’s expense.
In what world is a tow truck going to tow a car for parking on the side walk? They’re gonna tell you to call the cops or parking enforcement and the cops don’t even show up for gun shots
Oh my sweet summer child. Sidewalk parking is more or less legal in Germany since cars are generally placed above people. It’s literally happening everywhere. My entire street is full of people being 1/3 on the sidewalk.
No it’s not. You can’t park your car on the sidewalk unless explicitly allowed by a sign. If you park on the sidewalk you have to pay a fine, if your car is blocking something you also get a Punkt in Flensburg.
Dude, literally every damn city residential area is like this. No one cares, especially not the Ordnungsamt who should be responsible for it, or politicians. Worst case, they just add some white paint and whoop it is legal, because fuck pedestrians. I don’t even know why you try to argue otherwise when it’s literally my reality that I have to constantly squeeze myself through between cars and walls because the sidewalk is not even wide enough for two people anymore with all the cars parking on it. Like literally every single time, for decades. And the fatter the cars get each year, the worse it gets too. Even firefighters already complained about this because they often can’t even drive through some streets since even the car lane itself is too narrow thanks to the cars, even if they park right against the house walls. But hey, here’s Knuschberkeks telling me that I am apparently hallucinating.
Calm down. I didn’t say it’s not what’s happening. Yes it is happening, especially in bigger citys. Yes it is incredibly annoying. But that doesn’t mean it’s legal. Have you tried to do anything about it?
I said it is “more or less legal”, meaning it is defacto legal because no one actually enforces it and rather makes it legal if they had to enforce it.
On purpose yes, by accident, what can you do
True. I had intentional damage in mind.
Even then, in a “lorry problem” type of scenario, it could be OK. Like, you have a lever and there’s a fascist con-man polluting the world with bad ideas and products, and you could either do nothing or use the lever to go to town on one of those products to send a message to his supporters, I know what I would do
But what if it ain’t a car but a Cybertruck?
Scratching another unmet civilians vehicular mode of transport is never okay.
It is strange and striking that climate change activists have not committed any acts of terrorism. After all, terrorism is for the individual by far the modern world’s most effective form of political action, and climate change is an issue about which people feel just as strongly as about, say, animal rights. This is especially noticeable when you bear in mind the ease of things like blowing up petrol stations, or vandalising SUVs. In cities, SUVs are loathed by everyone except the people who drive them; and in a city the size of London, a few dozen people could in a short space of time make the ownership of these cars effectively impossible, just by running keys down the side of them, at a cost to the owner of several thousand pounds a time. Say fifty people vandalising four cars each every night for a month: six thousand trashed SUVs in a month and the Chelsea tractors would soon be disappearing from our streets. So why don’t these things happen?
I think it says more about the personalities on each side. ICE loving climate deniers are aggressive by nature.
No, it’s more that people who care about climate change are good at long term thinking. There are no cuddly animals to rescue right now, so people who want instant gratification do other things.
People who are good at long term thinking commit fewer types of impulse crimes. Vandalism is an unintelligent way to get your point across. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the paint job on the SUV.
I’ve seen ICE folks run cyclists off of roads. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an EV or cyclist attack a shitwagon.
I dunno man, how ever you measure it I think the ice folks are more aggressive by nature, these are the same coal rolling fucks who like to pollute intentionally as a ‘fuck you’ to environmentalists.
Because the law drops the hammer on them BIG time.
Hell, activists use to spike old wood trees marked for clear cutting back in the day. This would cause the saw blades foresters would use to explode in their face, in fact George Alexander, a millworker, was severely injured when a saw blade shattered after contact with a tree spike and cut his jaw in half.
His name is Jason Alexander, he only played a character named George.
George Alexander would then form a band, drop two hits, then write for other artists away from the limelight.
Oh wait, that’s Gregg.
I thought he conquered the eastern Mediterranean, Egypt, the Middle East, and parts of Asia in a remarkably short period of time.
I thought no one was prosecuted in that case.
Maybe environmental movements don’t attract the types of people who do this stuff or maybe it’s not personal it’s impersonal? Big difference between being told in your childhood house of worship that you are going to happy sky place if you die for skydaddy or seeing your uncle dragged off in the night vs. seeing a PowerPoint about climate change. Or maybe it’s just a number game. Environmental groups just don’t have enough people to get them in the pool.
Not sure.
Purposely, yeah, but if I open my door into it, don’t park do fucking close to the line
But what if the person on the other side was parked over the line and I had to leave space to get out and then they left and now I look like I parked like an asshole and then some asshole uses that as an excuse to ding my car.
That’s just how the cookie crumbles. If you really can’t stomach any dings leave the car in the garage
Get fucked carfuckers
I am on your side about this. I can’t stand the people who need their car to be in perfect appearance and do asshole things to get it that way.
It’s a fucking machine that you use to move goods and people from a to b. Not a statement, not a status symbol, not a penis enhancement. Scratches are just battle scars. My civic looks like shit and I don’t care.
Drive a normal sized car and that won’t happen. Or just you know walk a bit extra. Won’t kill you.
Carrie Underwood has an entire song about how you are wrong.
Yeah but it’s not a stranger in the song
They probably just wanted to see if it’s really bulletproof…
You know, I agree. But also, you can’t imagine how much I want to scratch the cars that just park illegally in my neighborhood. They park on the curves and crossings and in such small distances that I literally cannot pass through with my stroller without scratching them. So I end up going around the block(s) further and further away just to pass through some gap of illegally parked cars that’s just big enough if I am very careful. But then I end up thinking, wtf. Why do I have to be careful to not scratch their wrongfully parked cars, a private property that they left outside on a place designed and protected by law to be solely for pedestrians, with my private property that should be able to walk this road? And also, why do I not get the same protection if I want to park my bike or stroller outside? Because no one cares if my private property is damaged when it is left outside. If I scratch my stroller on an illegally parked car when I cross the road at the place I am supposed to be crossing somehow I am the one who has to pay damages.
But giving them the finger is
That doesn’t do expensive damage. I am pro-finger.
Edit: come on, “pro-finger”? Nobody’s gonna take that and run with it? I’m disappointed.
Can’t say I agree. For example, if someone hits you with their car? It’s ok to scratch it.
Edit: The downvotes on this are fucking unreal, imagine being upset that the person you just mowed over scratched your car. Fuck right off with that bullshit.
For example, if someone hits you with their car? It’s ok to scratch it.
Are you 12?
Or do you just see every unfortunate occurrence as personal victimization?
Yeah it sucks to be hated, especially for reasons as stupid as which electric truck you bought. It’s just sad how much hate there is these days.
I’d argue owning that car is a hate symbol in itself. You gave a fascist money who’s hard at work helping to end the world
He bought a car that is so dangerous to other people that it probably wouldn’t be allowed in the EU. I think that’s a pretty valid reason.
Also the fact that its a waste of resources, the ones here in California are already rusting up worse than some cars that have been sitting since the mid 90s. Seriously I see one over by Joshua tree (technically morango valley) sometimes and over the last month the rust has been creeping up its side. I suspect ones in places like Maine will be rust stains sooner rather than later.
At least they’re not setting it on fire like they did when the H2 was released.
Given all the problems they’ve had so far, the trucks may well end up lighting themselves on fire.
