saw the famed cybertruck "in the wild" yesterday, looked even dumbed than i'd hoped

its bulletproof so if you see one you can shoot it thats considered ok

Somebody down the hill from me has one, it looks like it needs some Easy-Off oven cleaner

I've been wrong before, but this might end up being one of the greatest laughing stock lemons of the personal car era

The Yugo is the bar and may never be dethroned. But cybertruck is the undisputed champion at its price point.

gotta give the pinto some love

cars are so much better now it would take a drugged up sleep deprived billionaire to make a really bad one

idk, at least the yugo didn't blow up like a pinto iirc? anyway:

my grandfather drove pintos for years cause the exploding problem was fixed but the name was trashed so you could get them for cheap lol

classic grandfather behavior

I saw a cybertruck on the streets last night. It's smaller than I was expecting, which made it all the more ungainly looking. Looked like something you would see in a low-budget sci-fi movie where they take all the body panels off of a suburban and replace it with a bunch of welded-on "aero" made out of commercial restaurant sinks. 100% troll move against the Musketeers - you must show your devotion by tithing $100K and literally encasing yourself in rolling embarrassment. The presumably bulletproof exterior will block most scorn and ridicule. Presumably.

what other examples are there of this precise flavor of mass devotion?

obviously there's trump, but even the people buying trump steaks don't justify it by suggesting that trump is leading humanity to the stars. and there are cults like heaven's gate etc., but none of them involved the richest person in the world

Ape NFTs

lol i guess so!

i suppose chatGPT has already created its own cohort of these

lmao

but none of them involved the richest person in the world

I know that he was for a while and he may be again but I've noticed news reports and videos continue to refer to him as such lately even when he isn't (Bernard Arnault leapfrogged him and Bezos and Zuck are close enough to Musk in supposed net worth for those three to likely be constantly overtaking each other).

trump bragging he’s richer than musk wld be fun how can we make that happen

Cybertruck is like Elon Musk's face it only looks good from one angle

what other examples are there of this precise flavor of mass devotion?

Crypto for sure, although it lacks a single figurehead.

Fittingly, though, Musk has had his hand in crypto.

there have been striver cults around rich guys yr henry fords yr warren buffettes or even pre politics trump, social media may have tweaked the situation with elon tho

lol I just learned that this dumb truck has a paired attachable "cybertent" or some nonsense that is supposed to go on the back and that they are selling for $3,000. And that reportedly is a POS.

c'mon you can't post that without posting the pic of the concept art vs. the final product

I’m convinced, here is my $$$$$

haa

Surely that can't be real.

Maybe it looks better without the rain fly.

if you have a normal pickup you can just get a cap and sleep in there no tent needed

we have a kelty car tent, universal, attaches to most cars, cost about $100 on sale

https://images.etrailer.com/static/images/pics/k/e/ke53tr_21_1000.jpg

that tesla tent looks like it is available for $19 from 8 companies with different AI generated names and product photography on amazon

The Temu special.

concept art vs finished product is "We have a Cybertruck at home, but it's the Cybertruck"

why isnt it sitting on the bed what is its sitting on ???????

awful https://nypost.com/2024/03/09/us-news/angela-chao-made-panicked-call-before-dying-in-completely-submerged-tesla-on-texas-ranch/

Christ that’s horrific

biting my tongue as hard as i can

one down

“…this was not a typical accident…”

…because a billionaire was involved

thanks sic. I was going to make a joke about Tesla and a pond taking Mr. Choppy's job away from him, but

If we had effective government Teslas would have been recalled or banned years ago and Musk in jail for stock manipulation but alas we rely on him for our space program lol.

amazing to think mcconnell just isnt going to do anything at all, a true reptile
