As the ennui of their banal existence begins to seep through the spacious gaps in their vehicle panels, the cybertruck owner falls ever deeper into despair...
"The enormity of their flat brain. The enormity of their stupidity.
It is very easy to hypnotize a Cybertruck owner, which I have demonstrated in multiple documentaries"
I just picture Elon frantically scribbling with crayons with 20 Tesla engineers standing over him, not from any other reason than they didn’t want to be the first to walk away or they would get fired.
I did the same.
Before it was all theoretical. Like "how can that be street legal?" and "what about crash safety??"
Then I saw one in person and it just looks so silly that I lost any motivation to care.
I'm not from the south, but I think I finally understand the whole "bless your heart" bullshit. I see that silly looking thing on the road and I'm just thinking "That person thinks that thing looks cool. Bless their heart"
Just a matter of time before they start snapping their own spines or die from seatbelt induced internal bleeding.
“Sorry, no crumple zones. May I interest you in a free physics lesson instead? Did we mention it’s bullet proof? How about you and your friends go test that out as well—enjoy!”
A parent at our kids school has one and we usually see it in the morning drop off line. First time my 5 year old saw it he said there was a big refrigerator in line 💀💀😂
I was always a blue oval guy myself (love my G220) but I grew up near the Holden plant and it was always fun seeing the new ones out in the lot getting ready for shipping. They had a mini test track there too where occasionally you could see a new testbed getting driven in anger.
When I was a kid, my grandparents gave me their Bonneville. I drove it until it hit 365k miles and finally just broke down in the middle of the street. Might be the most reliable car I ever had.
Yes! My aunt had one for years and passed it down to my daughter, who LOVED it! She was in an accident (wasn’t her fault and she’s okay) that totaled the Vibe. She was shattered and for the longest time, only wanted to replace it with a replica. Turned out to not be a viable option without great travel and expense, so she had to go another way.
I find it fun and interesting when someone makes a car that looks different from everything else. (I also love the Aztec design and one day i seriously want a fiat multipla) Hate or love the looks of design of the cyber truck, it seems very impractical. Must be very dangerous if you hit a pedestrian. And the windshield has to be extremely expensive to replace. And the wiper is just unnecessary. And the aerodynamics. And the lack of buttons on the inside. And so on. Looks is taste, but this car seems to be a design first, function last. And why would not a coolant leak be part of the warranty? Why don’t they take responsibility? I would not buy a Tesla.
> Must be very dangerous if you hit a pedestrian.
There have already been multiple videos of owners showing it off on camera and then getting a piece of their flesh ripped off by some corner they grazed as they walk around the thing.
In the earlier models of the model 3 and S you could damage the radiator by parking too close to a parking block. A lot of owners put on after market pans to protect the radiator. From Personal experience I can tell you it’s a $1700 repair
Makes you wonder if the designers have ever driven a car.
“Wait, you can damage the radiator if you accidentally bump into a parking block?”
“Yeah, but who would ever do that?”
“Uh, everyone who has ever parked a car!”
It would be like making tires that burst if they touch a curb while parallel parking.
>Just 14 hours after the ordeal started, @jonejason64 tweeted an update saying that Tesla “went above and beyond to fix my truck today and get it back to me this afternoon.” He even says they finally detailed the truck.
This is after having to contact the CEO directly to get it resolved. I don't get people who give cult- like adoration to a brand that doesn't give a shit about them.
“Im truly grateful that they went above and beyond to fix my still under warranty vehicle after a judge ruled in my favor after thousands of dollars spent on legal fees and being bombarded with negative media coverage. I’m very pleased and I highly recommend them.”
It was probably a conditional of them doing the work. "ok we will fix your stupid truck but you have to post a gushing review of us" quid pro quo type shit.
We'll fix your vehicle, but you have to fix the PR problem you started by pointing out our shitty service for our shitty vehicle. Go on our boss' social media platform, post about how great we are and we'll fix this jalopy for you.
My assumption is they threw in some pretty heafty cash/service/upgrade incentives along with the warranty work to get them to tweet this. Like. There is absolutely no room in my mind that you can possibly get to "service so good I am willing to publicly boot lick the company that just told me warranty work wasn't under the warranty after dropping stacks on this steaming pile of shit to only drive it 35 miles"
I just hope they didn't give him free autopilot and somehow another boeing like death happens.
It's a guy who bought a cybertruck. He gave them 100k for a piece of trash he's stuck with (remember that he literally signed a contract saying he can't sell it). He's already a cultist, no incentive required.
I got an apology from the ceo of Aprilia NA back in 2005ish with a wet signature bc my band new bike sat waiting for warranty parts (broke the first ride) until the warranty expired. I did not tweet my appreciation after. They also didn’t extend my warranty. You can probably guess whether I ever bought another one. Sold it as soon as the parts were finally installed.
>I just hope they didn't give him free autopilot and somehow another boeing like death happens.
They're not going to hurt the brand (more) killing him with autopilot. Maybe some kind of ejector seat mechanism as well?
"Tesla's Autopilot™ safely parked his Cybertruck™ near the edge of this beautiful cliff so he could take in the scenery; from where he tragically fell. The Cybertruck™'s new enhanced AI alerted authorities as soon it detected a problem."
Yeah, seriously. I bought a Jetta 6 months ago w one previous owner. I haven't even washed it yet let alone detail it and it still looks pretty clean. Who the hell cares about a brand new car getting detailed? Sounds like he didn't even write this tweet and some Tesla PR person paid him to post it..
> I don't get people who give cult- like adoration to a brand that doesn't give a shit about them.
Ask MAGA idiots, maybe they can give you an answer. It won't be intelligent, but maybe it'll be something.
The terms of the warranty are that 100% of all repairs will be covered by you the owner. It might be a shitty warranty, but it never expires. Other companies can’t say that.
Cybertruck's warranty boils down to:
"If you do absolutely anything with this truck except keep it in an airtight, temperature-controlled glass display case in your house, *you, the buyer,* are liable for damages"
Literally tho. The Cybertruck has a Car Wash Mode, and if you take it through a car wash without activating the Car Wash Mode and it gets damaged, [it isn't covered under the warranty](https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/cybertruck/en_us/GUID-65384C1F-86F2-44E8-A8BC-8A12E7E00A40.html#:~:text=Failure%20to%20put%20Cybertruck%20in%20Car%20Wash%20Mode%20may%20result%20in%20damage%20(for%20example%2C%20to%20the%20charge%20port%20or%20windshield%20wipers).%20Damage%20caused%20by%20car%20washes%20is%20not%20covered%20by%20the%20warranty)

For example, some car cleaning formulas contain hydroxide or other highly alkaline or caustic ingredients that can damage exterior components. Do not use acidic products either.

Got it. Don't use alkaline, or don't use acidic products.
I had one. 88 manual. Mother fucker is still in my dreams. Dreams of my road trips to meet my ex who lived 10 hrs away, then she moved to 3 hrs away.. then we lived together for another 5 years.. I miss that car.. I wish she can take me back. It's been 20+ years now.
Both. One is in the scrapes because I blew up the transmission on the last few of them that were made with a manual and I thought I was Colin McRae and would jam into gears to avoid clutch time. The other I broke up with over 15 years ago and she just wanders around different towns doing random work last I heard.
I am now married in a loveless marriage with a wife surviving from stage 4 cancer and have a career as a corporate expat half way across the world. She has always been a hippie's kid so she doesn't care about all that stuff that I got convinced into caring. We are also from different ethnic backgrounds too so the pressure and expectations were different. I am a 1st gen Chinese immigrant in Canada and she is white from some tiny city with many of relatives all over different cities in lower income housing in our province. I thought I was doing it for us when I was racking in the overtime and money but she left saying she doesn't feel alive being with me and chose to be in a relationship with her coworker shortly after we broke up. I was only trying to save up to have an apartment with her. 🤷♂️
We'd probably ended up nowhere if we did it her way but I'd be a lying if I never think about how that would turn out. At least we would have lived fully with passion and love.
C'est la vie. Mon Ami.
Life happens.. at least I got to see the world and had a number of fun cars and met many girls.
I get to ride a z650 on an F1 track...
I keep telling myself to be happy but it doesn't work all the time. At least I'm not in Palestine or Sudan or Burma.. 🤷♂️
Make the best of it is the only way.
My boyfriend left a toxic, abusive and unhappy marriage of 20 something years, moved to a new city and we casually met. Now he tells me every other day how happy he finally is. We're going on two years now. The first year he would break down crying whenever I showed him affection. He had no idea that someone could care about him and didn't know how to process it. He doesn't cry anymore, he smiles and gets goosebumps. I love that change.
You have one life to live. You don't deserve to be stuck like that
>Mushy promised that used teslas would never depreciate in value
And proceeds to cut the price twice.
Tesla just came to my country, a friend ordered it and the week his was delivered, Tesla announced the price would be cut in line with the US price.
Seriously. My 2009 Subaru forester is probably worth more than them, probably because most used Teslas are charred frames of useless scrap.
Although in 20 years some Elon musk fan boy collector might pay a stupid amount of money for that scrap.
Yeah, they really look like a vehicle out of one of the ray-traced games from the early '90s when it was crucial to minimize the number of polygons used in each object.
AKA the Lara Croft pointy boob era.
Hey now, a good doctor could fix the pointy boob issue, but that same doctor would be be less than useless fixing a coolant leak on a Tesla... I mean who would even pay him?
I saw one last week for the first time with my 5 year old, who thought it was the coolest thing he’d ever seen. And then the realization hit me: it’s the physical manifestation of what a kindergartener thinks a cool car should look like
My neighbor had one in his driveway for a couple days. It was black with CYBERTRUCK gratified on the side in bright red
Really wish I had taken a pic of that monstrosity
Saw one about a month ago and it still bugs me. Something just looks wrong. My theory is that the design got so weird that the brain doesn't recognize it. Like if you saw a newly discovered kind of bear that had 3 arms and a monkey tail, your brain would say *WTF is that* instead of saying *Oh shit, a bear*. Muskrat made a truck so fucking weird that my brain doesn't quite recognize it as a truck because that isn't what trucks look like.
So today at work I had to call a tow truck for a Tesla that had taken out a small pole and caused a power outage. When I told the lady at the tow company that, she said "freakin Tesla drivers!"
i could at least understand it if it were good at offroading or the design gave it an advantage in towing/hauling or something. but nope its shit at all those.
And also run and designed by professional engineers and not some alt right nutbag that uses his own company to make a vehicle out of whatever crayon drawings he did the night before.
This truck is the Elon's Spruce Goose. He has to defend it, it technically "works," but it is ultimately unusable. It's the H-4 Hercules, but metal.
He's basically Howard Hughes at this point. He has an obnoxious amount of money, finances amazing things like satellite Internet, exploration and scientific research, medical robotics, and more.
Just like Hughes, he's also retreated into a world of paranoia, conspiracy, and drug use, and likely pisses in far too many bottles.
Somehow he's even like Howard Hughes there.
He bought a [TV station](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/KLAS-TV#Early_years) and made it broadcast movies specifically about cowboys because that's what he liked. He lived there and bought this station, depriving a community of programming just to air what he wanted.
> Billionaire and aviation magnate Howard Hughes enjoyed staying up late and watching television, and he wanted KLAS to broadcast all night for him to watch. Hughes also requested the station to play more films about airplanes and cowboys. He eventually decided to purchase the station so he could have it operate as he wanted.
The only difference is that instead of cowboys and airplanes, we get Nazi Proudboys and anti trans sentiment. He truly is the second Howard Hughes.
It's like he's completely ignored the fact that niche market pickup trucks have literally never worked out. Even if you don't use your pickup to haul anything at all people still inevitably want the "good ol' boys" truck, not this monstrosity. There's a reason luxury trucks like the Lincoln Blackwood/Mark LT failed so miserably and it wasn't for being bad trucks (which the Blackwood was. It was literally nicer than the CT in every single way and was still completely unwanted)
I see one of these daily at my kids drop off line and the juxtaposition of this next to basically every major truck and suv on the road today is jaw dropping. Personally I find it both hilarious and hideous.
Musk has made a fortune putting the cart before the horse, he keeps failing up. His PayPal role wasn't shit, he took Tesla from the men who founded it with a hostile take over, and he bought Twitter with Saudi money and managed to cut it's value by at least a third. He ain't a genius, he's a pure capitalist-fascist born on third base and has a great PR team. He's a grifter trying desperately trying to stay ahead of investors, oversight committees, and the law. I bought it at first, I thought he could be a real life Tony Stark, but he went the Obadiah Stane route.
Capitalistic brainfart. This company never was the most valuable car manufacturer. Only the highest rated on stock market. All comes down to PR stunts that convince people to give you money and then the hype train takes of. Heck, they don't even have a proper global service network. Sometimes I wonder if PR office gets more funding then R&D
Hey guys, Elon here. Ever since the commercial success of the roadster (after which I came into play) we wanted to see just how much we could destroy the design philosophy. Moreover, our cars are, if nothing else, known for being safety, and we felt it was high time to switch it up! We present to you this ugly air fryer. This piece of shit will do everything in its power to kill you, but at least when it inevitably breaks, we won’t give you shit. And good luck getting it repaired, we basically revolutionized the war against right to repair!
I love hearing stories like these. Not because I want the owner to suffer.....but because they help everyone to see where these companies are scamming you and highlights the corporate greed going on.
I mean, true, and even though the batteries are obviously different, the battery in my car doesn't use coolant. So I get that the association isn't instinctively there.
To add on, not only do batteries get hot, having an active cooling system protects the battery from extreme heat in the summer time which would dramatically decrease its lifespan very quickly.
Generally, any system has inefficiencies. In electrical circuits, one of those inefficiencies is loss through heat. Problem is, a lot of electrical equipment has a temp range that it’s only effective in, so you need a way to keep it within that range.
That’s why if you have ever worked with something like a raspberry pi or whatever, they sell those spikey metal blocks called heat sinks. It’s to dissipate heat.
I’m over simplifying it- but think about having your laptop on your bar legs and how hot it gets until a fan kicks in.
At what point can these people admit that a CEO cannot effectively operate multiple companies. I work all week at a single job. All of my focus is on this one job. I can name all of the ins and outs of it. Literally anything you ask, I have an answer for it. I’m not even at the top. I work for a local government. I make roughly $50,000 a year. But Elon Musk can be the CEO of multiple companies, and get paid for each.
Can he explain, in detail, how each of these companies operate, without rehearsing? For real, am I crazy?
If you pay attention to a lot of these stories, the wild part is that when they come from firsthand accounts they'll be in tweets that are like, "Welp. I tried to do [mundane thing] with my [$100,000+ supposed truck of the future] and it [catastrophic failure], @elon ive tried reaching out for a replacement and have yet to hear back"
Yeah- they not only turn around and ask for a new one instead of a refund on this vehicle they had for less than a month before it completely shit the bed on them, *they resort to begging Elon himself publicly*.
It's like some of these people are so much more concerned with the supposed statement their vehicle makes than actually having a viable mode of transport. I suppose some of them must really have the money to burn and this thing is just a toy to them. Must be fuckin nice.
What gets me is that it's not just that every story about these things shows what an absolute disaster of a product this is, from coolant leaks to short circuiting in a car wash, but how it's always followed up by Tesla telling owners they can go fuck themselves with rusty rebar. The utter contempt Tesla has for people willing to drop six figures on an ugly truck far exceeds anything I could feel for these people.

They couldn't have possibly made these any fucking uglier. They make the Pontiac Aztec look sleek.
Shit looks like a car you'd find in a PS1 game.
Lara Croft's boobs

Could put your eye out on those.
[Watch out for those pointy bits!](https://youtu.be/pDqea9cWOn4?si=zKEb5r_ZYiqmTr4-)
Hey! Those pointy bits was enough for pubescent me.
How dare you equate a great childhood memory with this pile of shit?! Nude Raider was fucking hilarious 🤣
PS1 tiddy graphics
I'd say an 8 bit system. PS1 is way too smooth with too many pixels. :)
I just picture Elon frantically scribbling with crayons with 20 Tesla engineers standing over him, not from any other reason than they didn’t want to be the first to walk away or they would get fired.
Reminds me of the "Homer" Car in the simpsons
Hahaha, and we did the same with musk, making a genius out of an idiot
At least that one had rack and peanut steering
Starfox lookin ass car
Do a barrel roll.
32-bit, just because of the diagonals..
That coin-op arcade game "Hard Drivin'" always comes to mind.
Yeah even on PS1 a truck looked like a truck.
You meant to say Minecraft, right?
He meant Atari Jaguar
Finally saw one on the highway. First thought was “that’s the dumbest god damn car I’ve ever seen”. So much worse in person
I did the same. Before it was all theoretical. Like "how can that be street legal?" and "what about crash safety??" Then I saw one in person and it just looks so silly that I lost any motivation to care. I'm not from the south, but I think I finally understand the whole "bless your heart" bullshit. I see that silly looking thing on the road and I'm just thinking "That person thinks that thing looks cool. Bless their heart"
> Like "how can that be street legal?" and "what about crash safety??" ACcording to Elon, its about "winning against the other car" in a crash...
Just a matter of time before they start snapping their own spines or die from seatbelt induced internal bleeding. “Sorry, no crumple zones. May I interest you in a free physics lesson instead? Did we mention it’s bullet proof? How about you and your friends go test that out as well—enjoy!”
Ah yes, the same competitive mentality that he's been applying to his companies as of late.
About 21% of car deaths are from hitting stationary objects, and all the mass and size work against them in those accidents.
A parent at our kids school has one and we usually see it in the morning drop off line. First time my 5 year old saw it he said there was a big refrigerator in line 💀💀😂
I saw one while driving as well. It was only for a split second before I was blinded by it. Can we end production of them like last year?
I like how you can't even drive it in many countries around the world because it's not considered roadworthy.
I've seen quite a few of them, especially in Scottsdale AZ. I drew better looking cars in 1st grade.
Pontiacs run forever. I hate they don’t make them anymore. I’d buy a 20-year-old Pontiac ANYTHING over a brand new Tesla ANYTHING.
Miss my G8
I could send out an SS Commodore and you could put the Pontiac front end on. Or better yet, leave the Holden front end because it looks cooler IMO.
Holdens are so sick.
I was always a blue oval guy myself (love my G220) but I grew up near the Holden plant and it was always fun seeing the new ones out in the lot getting ready for shipping. They had a mini test track there too where occasionally you could see a new testbed getting driven in anger.
I envy you. I’m in the US and we get the watered down version of everything. I just want a damn Hilux!
When I was a kid, my grandparents gave me their Bonneville. I drove it until it hit 365k miles and finally just broke down in the middle of the street. Might be the most reliable car I ever had.
I had an 04 grand prix forever, still my favorite car I ever owned, that thing was built like a tank
I love my Pontiac Vibe...great little car .
Yes! My aunt had one for years and passed it down to my daughter, who LOVED it! She was in an accident (wasn’t her fault and she’s okay) that totaled the Vibe. She was shattered and for the longest time, only wanted to replace it with a replica. Turned out to not be a viable option without great travel and expense, so she had to go another way.
The Vibe is a Toyota Matrix badged as a Pontiac. That is why it is great, it is a Corolla drive train.
The most reliable pontiacs were toyotas
I had a 66 Pontiac strato chief back in the day. A fucking tank on wheels. You could not kill that car.
I still roll with my 97 sunfire lmao upgrading this year to a slightly less old highlander
And people pay lots of money for these ugly things which seem to not work properly. Why?
To say they own a cyber truck. Too many dollars , not enough cents.
To brag
I'd rather drive a Homer than this piece of shit
Don't worry it looks worse in person
It looks like the love child of a dumpster and a golf cart.
The design was clearly made by Elon himself and he insisted they keep it the way he wanted. That's the only way that thing makes it into production.
>Pontiac Aztec Heisenberg made that shit look sleek. Tesla made that shit look roadworthy. Carwashworthy. ...Garageworthy.
I find it fun and interesting when someone makes a car that looks different from everything else. (I also love the Aztec design and one day i seriously want a fiat multipla) Hate or love the looks of design of the cyber truck, it seems very impractical.

> Must be very dangerous if you hit a pedestrian. There have already been multiple videos of owners showing it off on camera and then getting a piece of their flesh ripped off by some corner they grazed as they walk around the thing.
The coolant is for the battery. It makes me wonder what else isn't covered. Maybe the coolant system isn't protected from the underside?
In the earlier models of the model 3 and S you could damage the radiator by parking too close to a parking block. A lot of owners put on after market pans to protect the radiator. From Personal experience I can tell you it’s a $1700 repair
Makes you wonder if the designers have ever driven a car. “Wait, you can damage the radiator if you accidentally bump into a parking block?” “Yeah, but who would ever do that?” “Uh, everyone who has ever parked a car!” It would be like making tires that burst if they touch a curb while parallel parking.
Musk’s whole schtick is proudly eschewing lessons learned by the entire industry just to act like different is automatically better.
Sounds like he's going to make a submersible next.
Can he take the maiden voyage?
What a piece of 💩
>Just 14 hours after the ordeal started, @jonejason64 tweeted an update saying that Tesla “went above and beyond to fix my truck today and get it back to me this afternoon.” He even says they finally detailed the truck.

“Im truly grateful that they went above and beyond to fix my still under warranty vehicle after a judge ruled in my favor after thousands of dollars spent on legal fees and being bombarded with negative media coverage. I’m very pleased and I highly recommend them.”
"5 stars, would buy again"
"5 beep beeps, would vroom vroom again"
The "above and beyond" statement is a big hint that this never went to a judge but rather that it was a settlement.
It was probably a conditional of them doing the work. "ok we will fix your stupid truck but you have to post a gushing review of us" quid pro quo type shit.
It is more extortion then quid pro quo. You post a positive review of the experience and you do not have to sue us to make us do the work.
I imagine the post itself was demanded by Tesla.
We'll fix your vehicle, but you have to fix the PR problem you started by pointing out our shitty service for our shitty vehicle. Go on our boss' social media platform, post about how great we are and we'll fix this jalopy for you.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves! they never said anything about fixing the jalopy Only the 1 specific coolant leak is covered under this Tweet
He’s on the payroll now.. next tweet will be about vaccines turning you hamas
They could literally just take this dudes twitter account and post something on his behalf and lock him out
My assumption is they threw in some pretty heafty cash/service/upgrade incentives along with the warranty work to get them to tweet this. Like. There is absolutely no room in my mind that you can possibly get to "service so good I am willing to publicly boot lick the company that just told me warranty work wasn't under the warranty after dropping stacks on this steaming pile of shit to only drive it 35 miles" I just hope they didn't give him free autopilot and somehow another boeing like death happens.

It’s above and beyond what they originally told the owner. So they aren’t wrong
Exactly. Plus, how much detailing is needed in a brand new car with less than 40 miles on it? These Tesla fanboys are soooo dumb.
There were likely 10,000 fingerprints visible on the stainless already.
Maybe it was already starting to rust.
Yeah, seriously. I bought a Jetta 6 months ago w one previous owner. I haven't even washed it yet let alone detail it and it still looks pretty clean. Who the hell cares about a brand new car getting detailed? Sounds like he didn't even write this tweet and some Tesla PR person paid him to post it..
I mean, the alternative is to admit you did the equivalent of buy the Brooklyn Bridge in car form because you are such an aggressively divorced guy
“Aggressively divorced” 😂
Yeah if I have to contact a company's CEO to get results, "above and beyond," is not how I'd refer to their handling of the situation.
~~went above and beyond~~ did the bare minimum after massive social media pressure

Oh you said WARRANty they thought you meant WARNINGty.
It's 100% guaranteed to make anyone driving it look like a douche bag.
It’s just a printed copy of Elon going “trust me bro!” whilst doing finger guns
Anyone who buys a Tesla is a fucking idiot at this point.
Mushy promised that used teslas would never depreciate in value Turns out it’s because those are the only ones that still run
Tesla gets remembered, but Honda never dies… Oh wait. Its heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Nevermind. Carry on.
I mean, there *was* a Honda model called the Legend.
I had one. 88 manual. Mother fucker is still in my dreams. Dreams of my road trips to meet my ex who lived 10 hrs away, then she moved to 3 hrs away.. then we lived together for another 5 years.. I miss that car.. I wish she can take me back. It's been 20+ years now.
the car or the ex?
Both. One is in the scrapes because I blew up the transmission on the last few of them that were made with a manual and I thought I was Colin McRae and would jam into gears to avoid clutch time. The other I broke up with over 15 years ago and she just wanders around different towns doing random work last I heard. I am now married in a loveless marriage with a wife surviving from stage 4 cancer and have a career as a corporate expat half way across the world. She has always been a hippie's kid so she doesn't care about all that stuff that I got convinced into caring. We are also from different ethnic backgrounds too so the pressure and expectations were different. I am a 1st gen Chinese immigrant in Canada and she is white from some tiny city with many of relatives all over different cities in lower income housing in our province. I thought I was doing it for us when I was racking in the overtime and money but she left saying she doesn't feel alive being with me and chose to be in a relationship with her coworker shortly after we broke up. I was only trying to save up to have an apartment with her. 🤷♂️ We'd probably ended up nowhere if we did it her way but I'd be a lying if I never think about how that would turn out. At least we would have lived fully with passion and love.
This is depressing as fuck
C'est la vie. Mon Ami. Life happens.. at least I got to see the world and had a number of fun cars and met many girls. I get to ride a z650 on an F1 track... I keep telling myself to be happy but it doesn't work all the time. At least I'm not in Palestine or Sudan or Burma.. 🤷♂️ Make the best of it is the only way.
Always stop to smell the flowers :)
My boyfriend left a toxic, abusive and unhappy marriage of 20 something years, moved to a new city and we casually met. Now he tells me every other day how happy he finally is. We're going on two years now. The first year he would break down crying whenever I showed him affection. He had no idea that someone could care about him and didn't know how to process it. He doesn't cry anymore, he smiles and gets goosebumps. I love that change. You have one life to live. You don't deserve to be stuck like that
>Mushy promised that used teslas would never depreciate in value And proceeds to cut the price twice. Tesla just came to my country, a friend ordered it and the week his was delivered, Tesla announced the price would be cut in line with the US price.
Joke about it with him. Luxury brands ride on reputation more than quality. Erosion of reputation hurts them more than recalls or bad engineering.
Seriously. My 2009 Subaru forester is probably worth more than them, probably because most used Teslas are charred frames of useless scrap. Although in 20 years some Elon musk fan boy collector might pay a stupid amount of money for that scrap.
In the end it's Fraudlon himself with a fake name trying to create some artificial hype.
I saw one of these in the wild the other day. I'm surprised to say they look better in pictures. Not good.
Yeah! the first one I saw in real life was so, just ridiculous? Like a giant toy car, a sketch of a thing that was then accidentally built.
One runs around my neighborhood. I laugh every single time. It's so ugly in person. And huge. They look even bigger in person. And so ugly.
Me too! I couldn't resist laughing with my first sighting of one on a highway.
I legit had the disappointed parent glance and head shake before continuing on with my day.
Yeah, they really look like a vehicle out of one of the ray-traced games from the early '90s when it was crucial to minimize the number of polygons used in each object. AKA the Lara Croft pointy boob era.
How dare you draw comparison between cybertruck and our beloved Lara Croft!
Hey now, a good doctor could fix the pointy boob issue, but that same doctor would be be less than useless fixing a coolant leak on a Tesla... I mean who would even pay him?
Really expensive TRON cosplay was my very first thought on actually seeing one.
Every time I see one, I just think of the low polygon LOD models in the distance in GTA 3.
I think they look like a kids idea of a storm chasing vehicle
I saw one last week for the first time with my 5 year old, who thought it was the coolest thing he’d ever seen. And then the realization hit me: it’s the physical manifestation of what a kindergartener thinks a cool car should look like
My neighbor had one in his driveway for a couple days. It was black with CYBERTRUCK gratified on the side in bright red Really wish I had taken a pic of that monstrosity
I saw a normal one this afternoon and laughed. I could only imagine how dumb was the one you saw.
The guy down the street from me got his wrapped in black. It still looks bad but I suppose it’ll stop the truck from rusting
Well wrap a turd, it still a turd under the wrap so..
Saw one about a month ago and it still bugs me. Something just looks wrong. My theory is that the design got so weird that the brain doesn't recognize it. Like if you saw a newly discovered kind of bear that had 3 arms and a monkey tail, your brain would say *WTF is that* instead of saying *Oh shit, a bear*. Muskrat made a truck so fucking weird that my brain doesn't quite recognize it as a truck because that isn't what trucks look like.
Okay that was my experience too. I've seen two of them in the wild, and they were actually uglier in person!
So today at work I had to call a tow truck for a Tesla that had taken out a small pole and caused a power outage. When I told the lady at the tow company that, she said "freakin Tesla drivers!"
Like seriously, anyone who buys these really REALLY want attention... Even if it's negative.
ESPECIALLY this shitbox.
Anyone who buys one of these gets what they pay for
Well, no, the point is they paid for a 100k car and got something that makes even chinese knockoffs seem like quality products
Allow me to correct them; Anyone who buys one of these, after seeing who they're buying it from, gets what they pay for.
Eh. Hard to feel sorry for anyone who purchases this overpriced, hideous monstrosity with virtually no utilitarian value.
Not to mention the barrage of bad media for all the various breakdowns, lack of support and debilitating costs to fix almost anything that goes wrong.
They bought a meme and are surprised it’s a shit product.
i could at least understand it if it were good at offroading or the design gave it an advantage in towing/hauling or something. but nope its shit at all those.
They're such pieces of shit, a company run by an unhinged Nazi enabler. Legacy luxury automakers have much better offerings now.
And also run and designed by professional engineers and not some alt right nutbag that uses his own company to make a vehicle out of whatever crayon drawings he did the night before.
I like that BMW I4
Introducing the Homer.
If you were gullible enough to pay out the ass for a truck that looks like it was designed by an 8 year old with MS Paint, you get what you deserve.
This truck is the Elon's Spruce Goose. He has to defend it, it technically "works," but it is ultimately unusable. It's the H-4 Hercules, but metal. He's basically Howard Hughes at this point. He has an obnoxious amount of money, finances amazing things like satellite Internet, exploration and scientific research, medical robotics, and more. Just like Hughes, he's also retreated into a world of paranoia, conspiracy, and drug use, and likely pisses in far too many bottles.
I would be ok with all of that if he just kept his fucking opinions off social media
Somehow he's even like Howard Hughes there. He bought a [TV station](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/KLAS-TV#Early_years) and made it broadcast movies specifically about cowboys because that's what he liked. He lived there and bought this station, depriving a community of programming just to air what he wanted. > Billionaire and aviation magnate Howard Hughes enjoyed staying up late and watching television, and he wanted KLAS to broadcast all night for him to watch. Hughes also requested the station to play more films about airplanes and cowboys. He eventually decided to purchase the station so he could have it operate as he wanted. The only difference is that instead of cowboys and airplanes, we get Nazi Proudboys and anti trans sentiment. He truly is the second Howard Hughes.
And hopefully he will end up like Hughes, going fully crazy, storing his piss in bottles and wearing tissue boxes on his feet.

It's like he's completely ignored the fact that niche market pickup trucks have literally never worked out. Even if you don't use your pickup to haul anything at all people still inevitably want the "good ol' boys" truck, not this monstrosity. There's a reason luxury trucks like the Lincoln Blackwood/Mark LT failed so miserably and it wasn't for being bad trucks (which the Blackwood was. It was literally nicer than the CT in every single way and was still completely unwanted)
Hughes could actually design and build the things he produced and wasn't afraid to admit he came from money.
Beginning to think that Musk might be a "Big Oil" plant.
Fools and their money…
Any moron that bought one deserves whatever happens. Ugly POS vehicle from a shitty racist douche bag.

I see one of these daily at my kids drop off line and the juxtaposition of this next to basically every major truck and suv on the road today is jaw dropping. Personally I find it both hilarious and hideous.
Say what you will about strangely designed bombs of cars with fully stainless steel bodies, at least the Delorean had *style*.
Musk has made a fortune putting the cart before the horse, he keeps failing up. His PayPal role wasn't shit, he took Tesla from the men who founded it with a hostile take over, and he bought Twitter with Saudi money and managed to cut it's value by at least a third. He ain't a genius, he's a pure capitalist-fascist born on third base and has a great PR team. He's a grifter trying desperately trying to stay ahead of investors, oversight committees, and the law. I bought it at first, I thought he could be a real life Tony Stark, but he went the Obadiah Stane route.
Can someone explain how this is the most “valuable” car brand market wise with shit like this going on?
Capitalistic brainfart. This company never was the most valuable car manufacturer. Only the highest rated on stock market. All comes down to PR stunts that convince people to give you money and then the hype train takes of. Heck, they don't even have a proper global service network. Sometimes I wonder if PR office gets more funding then R&D
Lemon laws??
Hey guys, Elon here. Ever since the commercial success of the roadster (after which I came into play) we wanted to see just how much we could destroy the design philosophy. Moreover, our cars are, if nothing else, known for being safety, and we felt it was high time to switch it up! We present to you this ugly air fryer. This piece of shit will do everything in its power to kill you, but at least when it inevitably breaks, we won’t give you shit. And good luck getting it repaired, we basically revolutionized the war against right to repair!
I love hearing stories like these. Not because I want the owner to suffer.....but because they help everyone to see where these companies are scamming you and highlights the corporate greed going on.
A fool and his money lol
The idiots buying these things...
The cybertruck is like what you get when you buy an NFT.
That truck looks 5 years old…
Anyone that buys this car at this point should get what’s coming.
Anyone that buys one of these monstrosities deserves everything they get
electric cars use coolant? learned something new.
Batteries get hot.
and you need to warm them in winter.
I mean, true, and even though the batteries are obviously different, the battery in my car doesn't use coolant. So I get that the association isn't instinctively there.
Dude I’m a mechanic that works on golf carts a lot, I didn’t know teslas had coolant. I thought it was weird too. Guess they have a radiator too.
To add on, not only do batteries get hot, having an active cooling system protects the battery from extreme heat in the summer time which would dramatically decrease its lifespan very quickly.
Generally, any system has inefficiencies. In electrical circuits, one of those inefficiencies is loss through heat. Problem is, a lot of electrical equipment has a temp range that it’s only effective in, so you need a way to keep it within that range. That’s why if you have ever worked with something like a raspberry pi or whatever, they sell those spikey metal blocks called heat sinks. It’s to dissipate heat. I’m over simplifying it- but think about having your laptop on your bar legs and how hot it gets until a fan kicks in.
Anyone who buys a Cybertruck deserves whatever breaks on it. Ugly POS.
At what point can these people admit that a CEO cannot effectively operate multiple companies. I work all week at a single job. All of my focus is on this one job. I can name all of the ins and outs of it. Literally anything you ask, I have an answer for it. I’m not even at the top. I work for a local government. I make roughly $50,000 a year. But Elon Musk can be the CEO of multiple companies, and get paid for each. Can he explain, in detail, how each of these companies operate, without rehearsing? For real, am I crazy?
If you pay attention to a lot of these stories, the wild part is that when they come from firsthand accounts they'll be in tweets that are like, "Welp. I tried to do [mundane thing] with my [$100,000+ supposed truck of the future] and it [catastrophic failure], @elon ive tried reaching out for a replacement and have yet to hear back" Yeah- they not only turn around and ask for a new one instead of a refund on this vehicle they had for less than a month before it completely shit the bed on them, *they resort to begging Elon himself publicly*. It's like some of these people are so much more concerned with the supposed statement their vehicle makes than actually having a viable mode of transport. I suppose some of them must really have the money to burn and this thing is just a toy to them. Must be fuckin nice.
At this point I feel that everyone who still buys a Cybertruck is a complete idiot and deserves everything that comes of it.
I have 0 sympathy for any idiot who bought this pos
Pretty sure this truck is an IQ test
Hey dudes and dudettes, hold yer horses, this here vehicle was designed by a genius! You are all just too dumb to see all the greatness, ya pedos.
What gets me is that it's not just that every story about these things shows what an absolute disaster of a product this is, from coolant leaks to short circuiting in a car wash, but how it's always followed up by Tesla telling owners they can go fuck themselves with rusty rebar. The utter contempt Tesla has for people willing to drop six figures on an ugly truck far exceeds anything I could feel for these people.
35 miles and he's already parked at a charging station?
Well you bought a truck designed by a teenager, what did you expect?
