Was it left outside in the rain?
I think they tried to drive it through a car wash and it started on fire.
There is the problem, you're not supposed to drive them
Nah, it was just a late summer day with middling humidity
What a pile of garbage.
It was once a flaming pile of garbage!
a dumpster fire
Before that a rolling pile of garbage.
And unlike the Millennium Falcon, the garbage will not do.
She's worth .5 of the original price. At most.
Yikes. Appears that this one might have caught fire?
I looks like there was fire, but it doesn't look like it came from where the battery is. The battery runs from front to back on the bottom of the vehicle. This looks like the fire was only at the front. So perhaps whatever was impacted caught on fire but the battery never ignited perhaps?
I've seen two in person (possible, same one just twice). It was bigger and dumber looking than I thought it would be. The style contrasts with literally everything around it. In every possible way, it looks unfinished in a way no video or photo ever conveyed.
Have you seen the windshield wiper being used yet? It looks like something out of a crappy 'art' film.
I have not... now I gotta find a video of this
I kinda like the look of the headlight strip or whatever. That's about it though.
I hate the taillights, they just look out of place makes them hard to spot somehow. theres this black one that I see pretty often on my commute and that thing seems like a safety violation on a dark morning
I've finally started seeing some in my city over the last week or so. They are just so goddamn big and awkward looking. They really look like someone put dumpster on wheels. I honestly find them pretty jarring to see out on the road.
Reminds me, it's my first day back teaching classes and the usual cyber truck I see on the commute is gone. Students and I used to make fun of it before class, I wonder what happened to it...
It probably got wet.
😂😂😂
you pick up your students?
Ah no, there's just two roads people take to get to class because it's in a weird position. The cyber truck was on one of those paths.
Tow driver: Damn this thing looks like it went through the Iraq war.
Owner: I've had it for three weeks.
(Salesman) You can fit so many fingers in this here trunk! bangs metal
metal dents as if it were one of those disposable aluminum cooking pans you get at thanksgiving at the grocery store if you don’t have generational wealth
Just saw one of these for the first time this past weekend on a road trip to Chicago. It was so much bigger and somehow even more shitty-looking than I expected.
I wish I could go back to those days when these things were rare where I live.
That's in pretty decent shape, actually. The metal is usually more rusted, especially if they tried to wash it in a car wash.
I hate this truck as much as the next guy but, isn't this what any and every car looks like after a fire?
It's... 1 year old. You don't often find so many reports, news stories, and images of a brand-new $80,000+ vehicle deteriorated or self-immolated a single year later.
I try not to go to Reddit so much, but the CyberStuck sub is pretty good and not replicated elsewhere. There are so many problems with these vehicles it’s astonishing. They aren’t nearly as capable as they were touted to be, either.
You also don't have a ton of idiots doing stupid things to make their vehicle have issues intentionally usually either.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of YouTube videos of people purposely putting the vehicle in extreme situations and situations it wasn't intended for. Not to mention the ones just doing it because "Fuck Elon", after paying $100k for the vehicle, because they'll get the money back from YouTube ads on videos milking it as much as possible.
I'm not saying all the videos are that, many are legitimate reviews and tests. But a lot are also purposely trying to damage it.
The aftermath of a dumpster fire
In its natural environment.
Should be towed outside the environment where nobody can see it.
I don’t quite think the front fell off though
I saw one for the first time last week. It had like a weird brownish tint to it, I'm not sure if that was the lighting or metal discoloration or what but they are ugly AF in person.
I love around Chicago.
Can’t wait to see what all the salt on the streets does to these things over the winter.
I see like 10 a day. I work in an enclave city for the uberrich where the average new home being built costs what I make in a century (and I make pretty good money money), so we've got lots of them.
I've seen a bunch getting paint jobs. The matte black ones look like what scifi Nazi gestapo would drive, but all of the paint jobs look better than the bare metal. There's a brushed-gunmetal one that I think is a pretty attractive compared to the rest. The vehicle is still ugly, but it's less-ugly with a good paint job.
There's one I see around town often enough. I was parked at a red light next to it the other day and it was remarkable how shitty the panels look up close. They're not really flat and planar. They're sort of wobbly like corrugated tin.
Yeah, I know that the super-flat planar look was the intent, but there's a reason why you don't see much in the real world that resembles the cybertruck. It turns out that the non-planar features of typical car panels are there to add rigidity. Flat sheet metal wants to bend, twist, wave, and even flap in the wind. So there are probably internal supports or struts welded to the panel backsides, in order to keep them flat. Problem is, that process tries to distort the panels due to heat from manufacturing.
And since they opted for stainless, this adds additional problems. In this case: you can't hide imperfections with bondo and paint. The panels have to be perfect, every time. It requires tolerances that belong on a sports car, not a pickup.
Yes, all the little wobbles stick out and they always look dirty. And while other Teslas can look nice with a wrap, for some reason CTs with a wrap look extra plasticky
For those of you that can not see it immediately, look more carefully at the dripping at the top of the tire, the deformation at the middle of the side skirt trim, and the darkness on the inside of the glass, not to mention the view inside the broken glass.
Can't see what, the fire damage?
What a complete sack of shit
I’m sorry but you’re wrong.
It’s a box of shit.
They weren't talking about the product...
take a drive by the Tesla service center in Pensacola... you can see a bunch of them parked there.
Hah! First one I was over near Holt off I-10. Honestly, it seemed pretty cool, guy had some low-key black graphics on it. But after seeing the fail-train these things are, they can't look cool to me anymore.
Also, I'm practical with my purchases, or try to be. I have a beat up 2004 F150 that actually runs, can get wet and hauls 5x what a Cybertruck can. I get buying stuff for the cool factor, but what's the use case here?!
I've seen one nearby and every time I've seen it I've been like "found the dumbass"
My son LOVES Cybertrucks.
He's 7 though, so I imagine not the market Musk was targeting
Musk drew up the original sketch for the cyber truck on his notebook in class when he was 7.
You need to get him on Back to the Future. The OG Delorean is way superior.
Way ahead of you there, he loves himself a Delorian
I’ve only seen one and was shocked at how much worse it looks in person.
It was always, shall we say, polarizing, but the production version managed to nudge every iffy design note in the concept car in the wrong direction. It ends up looking less Mass Effect and more like a Pontiac Aztek in DeLorean cosplay.
Wow, even worse than the pictures that are already super ugly? Yeesh.
I was surprised!!
I see them a lot and am still shocked at how bad they look.
I think the design is neat, though wildly impractical. And "impractical" doesn't begin to cover the engineering and manufacturing flaws. Impractical, fragile and falling apart day-1? Sign me up!
Figure they'll be like Deloreans some day, a few monied collectors keeping them going for nostalgia.
Never had any love for the man, never cared, but if you haven't seen this video, heysus christos, this tells you all you need to know about Musk in a few short seconds.
That’s about what they look like from the factory!
It's Cyber Fucked. 🤔
It came off the assembly line cyber fucked
Wow, that Cybertruck is holding up great! Looks like the flames were limited to the front quarter, and the seats haven't rusted through the base of the car, yet. That's better than most!
there is a hotwheels r/c version of the cybertruck I wanted to buy for memes, but so many reviews said it would burn out the first day you play with it... I should have bought one for the content (the price got jacked up)
So it's authentic you're saying?
My nephew has one, it actually works pretty well and we've played with it a ton.
I like to say they look like if a regular vehicle had a full diaper.
That looks badass! They lowered it! Can it jump?
They drove it over the curb, through a fence, across a golf course, and into the water hazard by the 12th hole.
Nah I'm just kidding. It just hit a speed bump at 15 mph in a light rain.
I've seen them maybe 10 times so far, though some of them were probably the same one again since it was during my commute.
I see them more often in the SF bay area. They look clunky and ridiculous, plus they draw so much attention (when you should probably being trying to avoid attention).
Was this the Whistlin Diesel Tesla?
Guess we will find out in the next video.
Where’s the cuck it came with?!!
I think that cuck's name is Whistlin Diesel.
TIL about whistlin diesel
It comes with a cuck? Sign me up
Really? I've seen a few of them around Portland, here. Most of them are wrapped.
And that one just rolled off the production line a month ago.
I think a local business owner has one because it's regularly parked on main street around here
I've seen probably a dozen. My neighbor's bf has one actually. No idea why he got one other than he might be highly invested in Tesla. He also has a Model 3. But then his other car is a late 70s F-150.
Then for one day for no reason at all the cyber trucks rose up and...
NGL, that looks rad.
this after a battery fire, and the Cybertruck is easily the most hated vehicle ever made. I wouldn’t assume that this one caught itself on fire.
