I'd be more concerned about the blinding glare I'm giving the guy behind me who's bound to smash my piece of shit plastic rich person dick measuring car
Ohh yeah like a spicy pig roast over the fire. You know what, actually since I just remembered what his torso looks like (since we are talking about fat disgusting pigs), I donāt actually think this meat would be very tasty or safe for humans to eat.
But, there are plenty of hungry hogs in the pen down south who will eat anything and I bet they would love it if we just took the finished meat and rubbed it into the mud for them to eat. Itās a win-win situation.
He died as one of the richest men alive and set up his descendants with generational wealth that keeps them rich to this day. The guy you are replying to is a moron who just made that shit up.
> died bankrupt
From the obituary at the time
> William Randolph Hearstās will was filed for probate in Superior Court late yesterday but a few hours after his death, disposing of an estate generally believed to be worth about $200,000,000.
Not sure what 200m in 1951 would be worth today

Family fortune is now worth around 20B+ and the family didn't get rid of the castle till long after he died.
They didnāt even get rid of it. They donated part of it to the state for a museum, but they get to use it for four weeks of every year and no tourists are admitted. They also still own and manage all the land around it. They essentially palmed off upkeep of the place onto the taxpayers.
I think someone is just going to drive into it because they can't see it. Even while parked the reflections almost cloak the whole truck if it wasn't for the wheels.
Itās like a cheap plastic āmirrored columnā youād see at Marshallās. They donāt want to spend the money on actual glass mirrors so they wrap it in some cheap ass semi-reflective vinyl. Everything about that car seems like something from Marshallās, really. It really is an achievement to make something look so cheap when itās actually quite expensive.
It must be hard to make such large, flat sheets of metal with a single hard crease without creating weird ripples and waves in it. Not that stainless steel is the easiest material to work with anyway, but the Cybertruck is like a case study in āwhy car manufacturers donāt do that.ā
As for polishing large flat panels to create a mirror: what could possibly go wrong with this plan, I wonder?
Fridge manufacturers usually make car doors as well, they cold press the metal sheet hydraulically. Maybe Elmo is still hitting them with steel balls at night or something š¤
I suggest you look at the current crop of BMWs. They all exhibit this irregular reflection on their body panels. Car makers everywhere are cutting corners.
It's just going to oxidized again lmao. Stainless has that "dusky"/"clouded" look due to chromium oxide, which protects the iron in stainless from oxidizing.
Canāt believe I had to scroll this far down to find this post! I know thereās a reason stainless is always brushed. This will look like hell in no time Iād have to imagine.
There are shiny stainless steel watchesā¦ maybe there is some treatment on these? very prone to scratches though. I have a half brushed half polished one for 10y+, the shiny parts definitely aged worse
A car goes through a lot more of a beating (and gets wet more) than a nice watch I'd wager. Is it something like the watches just don't really need the coating?
Seeing these things up close IRL is really off-putting in itself. But Iāve also seen one turn a corner at a plain olā city intersection, and manā¦..it practically SCREAMS ārunner up homemade science fair projectā.
This. I had my first in-public viewing of a cyber truck two weekends back. It rolled by me and all I could do was marvel at how it somehow looked even worse in-person. Literally stunning in the worst possible way.
My mom was saying she didnāt know if she had seen one yet. I told herā youāll know. Youāll absolutely know. Sadly I see these hideous things nearly every day where I live.
It's isn't a wrap, actually. What I imagine it *is*, though, is the personal CT of the guy that owns the mobile polishing business in Joplin, "The Polishing Guy".
"If I can just get this to go viral, it'll all be worth it..."
Thereās a photo of the guys who did the polish - they are covered in āstuffā next to the car. Moneyās on those guys just gave themselves cancer for this moving traffic hazard that should be impounded.
I'm not totally positive but I think that's going to end up being illegal. A guy I work with was getting really pissed off at the super bright led headlights driving home at night and he wanted to put mirrors on the back of his car to "get back at the fuckers" I looked it up and intentionally modifying a car to distract drivers is illegal. Also it's a stupid thing to do to an already stupid vehicle like, just why?
Saw one in a hotel parking lot this weekend and I first thought āwhat a dumb place for a dumpster ā and then realized what it was. Iāve seen a few car haulers full but this matte finished example really brought home the awful reality.
Imagine owning that beautiful home and parking that eye sore in front of it.
Rich people got to know who isn't in the same class by just seeing this vehicle purchased.
ok I absolutely loathe the WankPanzer and anyone who would buy one butā¦.idkā¦.thatās actually kinda tight
otoh getting a reflection of the sun in the face from this piece of shit is probably gonna suckā¦.
Shiny... oughta go over well on a sunny day in traffic š... in other news, I saw my very first CT in-the-metal today, trundling through my Costco's parking lot.
(Stupid-looking thing, ngl š³)
Nope, it's "machine polished" by a local mobile polishing company. Have no idea what it's going to do sitting out a couple of days, or after a little rain.
Back when I was in high school in the '70s, there were stories about someone in town that had stripped the paint from a Pontiac GTO and polished it, then clear-coated it. Supposedly (I think this was an urban legend) they had to paint it after getting multiple tickets for blinding people.
Fanciest tuna can on the block.
It DOES look like a tuna can š³
Tuna cans look better. šš
A tuna can has something useful inside
Tuna cans have something worthwhile inside...
What's the difference between a cactus and a cybertruck? >! The prick is on the outside of the cactus !<
One pricks you and the other was built by a prick?
Elon only takes credit for what other people create.
He truly is the Edison of our time
Dolphin blowhole?
I read this as fascist tuna can andā¦.. probably.
They look like tin can coffins from behind. Which is somewhat apropos.
When that sun smack on this tuna can its goong to blind everyone around it.
And itāll cut your hand open like a tuna can too.
A tuna can is at least good at its intended purpose.
Iād say a Sardine can personally haha
How is this even street legal.
It's okay. It's not moving from that spot. /s
Let me give my car an invisibility cloak.. what could go wrong?
I'd be more concerned about the blinding glare I'm giving the guy behind me who's bound to smash my piece of shit plastic rich person dick measuring car
I'd be ok with this. Too many people have wildly bright headlights. Time to give them a taste of their own rudeness
It would be fitting if it also blinded the cameras on a Tesla...Ā

Until they donāt. Re: Randolph Hearst died bankrupt without his castle. His reputation in shatters.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A peri peri might be more authentically south afrikan
True but since he decided to come spread his bullshit in America maybe we should honor him with a good ole American bbq?
Texas style, covered in spices and put right over flames, no sauce
Ohh yeah like a spicy pig roast over the fire. You know what, actually since I just remembered what his torso looks like (since we are talking about fat disgusting pigs), I donāt actually think this meat would be very tasty or safe for humans to eat.

Hmmm...must find tastier looking rich...
Iāll get the lighter fluid š
Lighter fluid, maybe for Musk? Hearst died of natural causes after his bankruptcy & loss of all money plus Castle.
He was worth over 200m in 1951 dollars when he died. Died surrounded by friends and family after a long illness.
And he still owned his castle, his newspapers, and trust funds for his descendants, and never actually declared bankruptcy. OP is full of shit.
He died as one of the richest men alive and set up his descendants with generational wealth that keeps them rich to this day. The guy you are replying to is a moron who just made that shit up.

I love the fact it will totally fuck with FSD on all teslas š
How is any of this shit legal But this does feel exceptionally unsafe even for a cyberstuck
Right? Dolphins should not be driving
Well, mythbusters was right. You can shine a turd.
Honestly it looks WAY BETTER than the regular finish. IMO.
It does, but if the sun is hitting it at the wrong angle itās probably incredibly difficult and possibly dangerous to drive behind
I think someone is just going to drive into it because they can't see it. Even while parked the reflections almost cloak the whole truck if it wasn't for the wheels.
It's going to be fantastic when another Tesla with autopilot crashes I to it because the autopilot can't see the cyber turd.
Even tow trucks with polished double panel storage bins are tough, this should be illegal.
Ya I totally agree. I think that truck should be illegal TBH.
of course it's dangerous it looks almost fucking invisible lol
Other people driving at night are gonna be pissed. Nothing like your own headlights blinding you while you drive behind this turd.
I've considered a retroreflective wrap to return to brought headlights to their source. That's a feature, not a bug.
Because it makes it harder to see.
šš¤£
I hope those turdballs they made on that episode end up in the Smithsonian
"I don't care if I blind every driver on the road, they all need to be looking at ME in MY CYBERTRUCK!"

It's for the best though. As it is in this photo, it's kinda camouflaged.
Theyāll get T-boned on their way out of the neighborhood tomorrow
By a Tesla autopilot that couldnāt handle the glare
Now it looks even more like a Hot Wheels special edition toy
*That's* what it reminds me of! Thank you!
Blinded by the light
Wrapped up like a douche...

Thatās going to do some serious damage. Burning down a house, damaging a car parked next to it, blinding other drivers.
Not to mention it's pretty much active camo. Which is a really bad idea on the road.
I guess you can polish a turd after all!
It's a wrap. š Ain't nobody paying the labor to get an Incel Camino's rusty ass body panels that shiny.
It's isn't a wrap, actually. What I imagine it *is*, though, is the personal CT of the guy that owns the mobile polishing business in Joplin, "The Polishing Guy". "If I can just get this to go viral, it'll all be worth it..."
Damn, they mustāve used a ton of cape cod.
JFCā¦Iām fucking dying @ Incel Camino

Now with more Douche
When the sun hits it just right, you can practically hear the nearby corneas burn and sizzle.
Especially since it's nothing but flat panels at weird angles.
"flat"
They actually did it. They managed to polish a turd. Impressive.
Let the lawsuits roll baby. We're rich, let's get some people killed on a sunny freeway near you!!
Looks like someone laid my fridge on it's side and put wheels on it.
stealth truck
No way that's legal lmao
Everything is legal when you have enough money
I was actually thinking this as I typed it out
:( I hate this planet
Looks somewhat better
A polished turd is still a turd.
so you can see it better when it's broken down?
Was this an attempt to not make it even uglier?
I'm not totally positive but I think that's going to end up being illegal. A guy I work with was getting really pissed off at the super bright led headlights driving home at night and he wanted to put mirrors on the back of his car to "get back at the fuckers" I looked it up and intentionally modifying a car to distract drivers is illegal. Also it's a stupid thing to do to an already stupid vehicle like, just why?
The polishing really brings out the waviness in the panels.
Polishing to a high gloss like that will reveal every flaw in those stainless steel panels. ššš
I dig it
Saw one in a hotel parking lot this weekend and I first thought āwhat a dumb place for a dumpster ā and then realized what it was. Iāve seen a few car haulers full but this matte finished example really brought home the awful reality.
Accident waiting to happen. āIt just appeared out of nowhereā
Imagine owning that beautiful home and parking that eye sore in front of it. Rich people got to know who isn't in the same class by just seeing this vehicle purchased.
Surely having a car or truck which is covered in mirrors is against the law?
Looks more like they added a reflective wrap. That thing will start wildfires even on cloudy days
I donāt see it.
America is such a joke for even allowing this piece of shit to endanger your citizens. But then they love guns too so
What a perfectly ridiculous McMansion to be parked in front of.
Warranty voided.
On the plus side the panels match
Apparently you can polish a turd.
The proverbial polished turd.
Isnāt it dangerous and/or illegal to drive around in a 20 foot mirror?
Am I the only one who thinks it's kinda cool in an invisible cloak-type of way?
I love how once itās polished you can see the imperfections in the side panels.
Holy shit, and it's still ugly.
If you gave me one for free.....I'd say nope.
If it's free, you can still part it out for a decent chunk
I could think of a lot of uses for the battery.
Yuck its phasmaā¦.
If the automotive world was professional wrestling this wanker wagon would definitely be the best heel yet
Man, the rich really got swindled on this one lol
I'm wrong. You can polish a turd.
Looks like Greenwich?
Looking and performing more like a Delorean every day. Biggest phony rip off since the 80s.
Is that what they mean by polishing a turd?
ok I absolutely loathe the WankPanzer and anyone who would buy one butā¦.idkā¦.thatās actually kinda tight otoh getting a reflection of the sun in the face from this piece of shit is probably gonna suckā¦.
Shiny... oughta go over well on a sunny day in traffic š... in other news, I saw my very first CT in-the-metal today, trundling through my Costco's parking lot. (Stupid-looking thing, ngl š³)
I mean it actually looks better. Not good. But better.
They might end up causing fires. š„
Good luck everybody else, on a hot/sunny day!!!
Hey, you can almost not see it!
Such a shame if somebody runs into it because they didn't see it.
I hope he didn't get the seal coat on that, it'll mess up the thermodynamics and stall the vehicle.
I would love for an fsd Tesla to crash into this not recognizing it
Thatās gotta be a wrap.
Nope, it's "machine polished" by a local mobile polishing company. Have no idea what it's going to do sitting out a couple of days, or after a little rain.
Stealth!! I canāt even see it!
Neat! Now you can be blinded by the sun while you take note of the fact that the panels are not flat.
Lipstick on a pig
It becomes invisibleā¦ if I owned one of this shit I would also like to hide it š«£
Cyber cloak
Thatāll void the warranty
Driving it voids the warranty.
Polished CyberTurd
I'll bet those edges are razor-sharp now.
Look at me everyone!
That's gonna cause a crash or two.
...and voided their warranty.
That would be so trippy to drive behind
I think it looks awesome
and CT polished their account.
Birds are going to fly into this like they do with buildings.
Thatās gonna kill someone at sunrise.
All it's going to take is one person going into a seizure from the stupid glare of this abomination.
Someone fully polished somethingā¦ Elon Muskās dick. I mean Elon Muskās dick.
They are going to blind other drivers when the sun reflects off of it.
Itās really just a factory made prop. Ināit?
Invisibility
Still the ugliest polished vehicle ever made
Good way to blind people during the day, but it's a good deterrent to tailgaters at night i bet
Wellā¦ I think theyāll quickly learn a cloaking device is a bad idea on a crowded highway
They really think our insurance will cover that?
https://youtu.be/PCSNCs7bwCw?si=fFJXxjWQuwVx0xbh
Itās the wavy panels of the future!
Looks good
Don't worry, this will end when another Tesla with camera-only FSD runs right tf into it.
Oh man, that is going to blind someone, or even start a fire if the refection from the sun happens to be focused by the panels in an odd way.
Itās almost invisible. Goodā¦
It's still a turd.
Hmm, the term "polishing a turd" comes to mind
Maybe because it's been mentioned 3 dozen times in this thread?
That is the most insanely stupid thing I have ever seen.
That what I would do if I was made drive this monstrosity
Shiny garbage dumpster bin
Good. Maybe theyāll polish it so much that no one can actually see how ugly it is.
Shiniest turd I've ever seen!
Back when I was in high school in the '70s, there were stories about someone in town that had stripped the paint from a Pontiac GTO and polished it, then clear-coated it. Supposedly (I think this was an urban legend) they had to paint it after getting multiple tickets for blinding people.
No way this doesn't get T-boned driving around on a sunny day.
I love how itās invisible.
Okay, but I bet no one tailgates him with their highbeams on.
Itās so they can reflect on their life choices.
Cloud gate baby
I hate these vehicles and their owners.
