Sucks to suck!

Thank goodness they put the sticker on the window. It would have damaged the door.

... Wouldn't that be especially bad on a normal painted door's clear coat?
Paint on that door looks like it’s already fucked.
- It's not paint it's bare stainless steel. Those are fingerprints that you're seeing.
- lol paint

I saw one of these for the first time the other day and was kind of awestruck at how dumb it looked in real life. I mean, I was never a big fan of the design but it really looked so much worse in person

Wait, you've never wanted to drive a doorstop?
- It's been a lifelong dream of mine.
Just saw one for the first time today. Man its honestly much worse in person.
- it might be the ugliest car ever made honestly, i urge people to find an uglier mass-produced car.
Was driving in a Houston suburb and had one overtake me on the right. Just gave it a super wide berth. I know my 24 year old Civic would shred like paper if that thing hit me.
I've said something similar in other threads - after seeing other people say it's worse in person, I was still surprised at how cartoonishly awful it looked when I first saw one. They look terrible in pictures, but so much worse in person. I saw one that was painted bright green and it was so bad that I burst out laughing.

Is it already rusting? lol

It's stainless steel so it's just surface level, but yes lmao it wasn't treated for outdoor use
- Maybe it encountered some extreme conditions, like a car wash.
- So what! I love scraping rust off my vehicle every week
  -cyber truck owners, presumably
- I'm a St. Louis boy so I grew up with the Gateway Arch. It looks better after 55 years of exposure to the elements than Cybertrucks do after 5 weeks.

Even the tires are ugly. That's... kind of impressive. I never once considered tires could be uglier than other tires. But here we are.

Yeah it’s meant to have uglier wheels that fit with those ugly tires, possibly only with the ugly tires.
I think it’s as close low polygon wheels they could get before they become hexagonal.
- "I want the wheels to look like Lara Croft"
Wait, yeah... Why do they look like that? I've literally never seen ugly tires in my entire life before. This is the first time.
- They're supposed to have covers
  but IIRC they cost extra

Drive it anyway. The Cybertruck can handle it. The Cybertruck can handle anything! I heard it's made out of 1978 Hot Wheels parts and 1982 Megaforce machismo.

Best part is the fingerprints that act as a door handle

Ew I missed that. Someone is not following the factory recommend hourly full chassis wipedowns.

What's on the top of the picture? I can't figure it out.

It's like a tarp or something? I've been trying to figure it out too.
- I think they're in some sort of lot, under a tent. The Lego truck isn't on asphalt. You can see how the road runs past it in the upper left.
~~Looks like the picture was taken from the passenger seat of a car with the ceiling coming unglued from the roof~~
Nvm, that is the top of a car, not the windshield wipers. Looks like some sort of awning.
Looks like picture was taken from a jeep or some other sort of vehicle with a soft top, and we're seeing that top hanging down into the shot

The orange tag says “FUCK YOU” with no further elaboration.

You joke, but when my parents bought an electric car, the cops in their small town started harassing them. My mom drives like a saint but they keep pulling her over and giving her tickets that aren't valid. She said she's caught them waiting for her to leave the grocery store so they can follow her out of the parking lot and try to catch her doing something wrong. But she doesn't, so they just pull her over anyway. This isn't even in a rural town where people are rolling coal. It's just a small suburb. Why do they care?
- Electric = Liberuls
- yea that didn't happen

Wait tgis is a real car? Wow I thought it was an art project or AI meme

Oh to be ignorant of the cyber truck. There are so many complaints about this piece of crap daily online. They lock out their owners, have body panels fall off, have very few protections against auto closing doors cutting off fingers, the accelerator pedals can get stuck at full speed while moving, they are uncoated stainless steel which corrodes, and replacement parts are insanely expensive.
- I saw a YouTube short of someone claiming Tesla fixed the trunk door cutting people's fingers off. He demonstrated with a banana at first. It detected the banana and immediately opened the door again. It barely made a dent into the banana. So he's like imma try my finger now lol. So he tries his finger and of course that fucker clamps down hard on this mf's finger, which gets stuck for a short while before the Tesla gives up and opens the door again. But his finger had a huge and deep dent in it, bro. You could tell he was in big pain. His hand was shaking minutes after the event.
  I don't know what's worse, the door, or this idiot thinking a banana is an accurate prop to use in place of a finger. I would've used something smaller than my finger. If it detected that, you would think a finger would be safe...

Amazing how bad those panels look after what, a few months?

I saw once in the wild last week and it was wrapped in silver vinyl. That seems like a necessity for these trucks.

It is, and it’s like $2000 extra
- Small price to pay when you're always pissed out $80k

I swear Lemmy acts like anything shitty happening to a Cybertruck is like it's Elon's personal car getting fucked up. You're being trendy. I fucking hate that guy too but is this really funny or meaningful?

Why don't you just nuke every city in America because we all use Amazon and Bezos is a megalomaniac, evil bastard? Post it on Lemmy and laugh because we all deserved it for supporting him.

What an ugly, dirty truck.

Stupid Ugly Vehicle

Lol what a douchebag. I love to see it.

The douchiest people drive these things, I swear.

I recently saw one in Tennessee too, and I was pretty lucky I was wearing sunglasses driving by it! It was early afternoon, with clear skies all around lol

For the record, the one I saw didn't have a boot on it, yet

The Tesla Rusty Triangle, the vehicle for your high-iron, low-poly lifestyle.

Looks like you got some ransomware.

You cater exclusively to the easily grifted, surprising to find out that many of them will be deadbeats trying to scam you back.

Probably a sovcit.

The cyberpinto got booted

I love how every time I see this pos it gets worse 😂

First thing I immediately noticed was the rust

Musky Bois be like "that's not rust, it's patina".
I don't see any rust? That's just the fingerprints that you can't not get all over it.
- Those are fingerprints? Fuck is this thing made out of😭😭
What rust? The dirt around the door jams?

Are the tires really that thin or it just looks like that in the image?

Looks like a standard tire to me
They are wider than most car tires, but they are also very tall. Their website says the tires are 285/65R20. Very high profile, even with 20” wheels.
I actually thought they looked too thin too, but in the sense that it might help it look more like a hot wheels car (and a little better to look at)
Now I'm just thinking it was supposed to have wider tires and they changed that too

There is a point that you all will make Lemmy look like dick headed bullies to most people. Is that something your all gunning for?

Somehow, I doubt THIS is what would drive anyone away.
I mean, it's got a boot.

What's stops someone from simply changing the tire? This seems like a bad design for a boot.

You could. But they still know who owns the car. They also charge you for the cost of the boot.
- Bring the tire with you when you pay the fine so they can take the boot off. All this does is create an inconvenience instead of immobilizing the vehicle.
Most cars don't come with a spare these days. That's all
- Isn't changing a tire on any of the Teslas a bit of a challenge because of the weight? Do they come with heavy duty jacks? I wonder if the Cybertruck even comes with a spare at all.

This is my favorite thing I've seen today.

This is art. Lmao

We're they parked over a cross walk while picking up their kids from a very expensive private school!!!???

I've never seen a car locked like this before.
