God damn that is ugly
It's not 80's enough to have a cool cyberpunk aesthetic, but if they leaned in to that they could have made something that looked really cool to me and the 12 of us that like that look.
But then the clean interior would immediately lose us. Gotta have a bunch of crap, buttons and nobs and stuff all over the interior. With no less than 4 screens giving you information at any given time.
if you want 80s/cool cyberpunk aesthetic you need to go to Hyundai and their Vision 74 concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu1yzLEsc1Q
Like if the hunchback of Notre Dame fucked a DeLorean.
Elon told you that this car will win any argument with another car. If a car full of teen showed you disrespect you should track them and ram them at high speed with your powerful torque. See their crummy car be flattened by your invincible steel battleship. You are the elite, the king of the road, don't you dare forget it or everything falls apart.

You can do that already with a GMC Sierra

funniest part to me is this thing is going to cost owners so much money on body work. Any dent, ding, scratch etc. is gonna JUMP out on those clean steel panels, body shops aren't going to be able to hammer out (would leave impact marks all over) or fill and sand (unless you like that bondo patch atop SS look lol) - or purchase entire replacement panels from Tesla, if they make any (and have the excess production capacity for spares) available.
Oh and the lawsuits for making vehicles designed to slice through other vehicles - stainless doesn't have the crumple / impact absorption modern vehicles are designed for.
There's an Easter egg in Satisfactory (3d base building/logistics video game) where you can craft a "Cyber Wagon", which looks exactly like a Cybertruck but with square wheels, and has the highest fuel consumption rate of any vehicle aside from the personal jetpack. It also handles like absolute shit on account of the square wheels.
But you can actually carry cargo in it. So it's still better than the real one.
And the window is broken!
I think A.D.A. even makes fun of it in the game.
When i look at it, i start thinking I am a great designer!
While in fact, i am a backend developer
His back end is where Musk gets his ideas
A backend designer!
Those are just called plastic surgeons.
The people who buy this won't be in debt. It will be their new iwatch for a year, maybe two, then resold at half its price because half the touch buttons or little motors for the bed cover stops working.
I really liked the review by Marcus, what happens when the door ices over, will that push open solenoid actually be able to open the door?
When the cybertrunk was first announced I kinda liked it. I'm utilitarian and don't care what I drive looks like. The explanation I heard for the looks was because it was supposed to be really cheap to manufacture. So, a cheap ass EV pickup sounded pretty cool to me. Unfortunately, it's not going to be cheap :(
I wish they would make like generic vehicles. Like, basic shit. Give me that nokia brick vehicle that I can drive forever and is dead simple to work on.
Soviets did that, they had a few types of vehicles that were cheap to make and that ran forever. some likely still running now. Really great stuff. ( I'm not a tankie I just like Soviet history.)
You mean the one without a crumple zone that is deadly to any pedestrian?
I rather want one that is safe for humans than for the car itself.
The unibody is neither cheap nor easy to manufacture, and repairs are going to be a nightmare. The explanation is basically “Elron thought it looked cool”.
they are going to be totaled for stuff that's a few K to repair on other cars.
They will also never be street legal in the EU, that fucking front looks like it's designed to kill pedestrians, they couldn't have made a sharper edge if they put a knife there.
Utilitarian and pickup truck don't fit in the same philosophy imo
Meh, fair enough. I drive a Leaf, but have an old F250 that I use at least a couple times a month. I'm either hauling firewood, mulch, compost, rock, lumber, flooring, siding, appliances, large tools, junk, etc (I live in an old house that needs a lot of work, heat solely with wood, and make furniture and garden as a hobby). Not sure I would want to tow much with my little Leaf. I guess could rent a pickup a couple times a month, but that would be pretty inconvenient.
It looks as if they missed the stop line at a red light and can't see out of the rear window to back up safely.
There’s a persistent rear camera view. This wouldn’t be an issue.
Where I live you could buy a very decent RV for the equivalent of $100k. Hell even the $60k variant gets you quite a bit.
I'd much rather have that and be able to work "from home" from the south of Spain rather than drive a geometric shape.
I have spent less than that on my flat, and just about that on an older house.
car prices are insane.
It's been said before, and it's the kind of comment that essentially implies this community shouldn't exist, but it's extremely ironic for a community called "enough xyz spam" to essentially spam everyone's feeds with posts about xyz. Imma go ahead and block this community, don't take it personally peeps, I just actually have had enough of musk spam.
Another person who didn't read the community description that's right over there to the right.
The title is a holdover from reddit where for far too long people sucked this guy off in basically every thread that they had a chance.
I kind of wish that they went with a different title for Lemmy just to avoid the apparent contradiction of only posting about Elon Musk in a community called "Enough Musk Spam", but it is what it is I guess.
These cars a made for the immanent apocalypse and you will see who has the last laugh.
You can probably attach chainsaws and shit to it but you need an app to open it (the app won't work after the apocalypse)
Everyone is talking about electricity going down but the real problem will be the Tesla DRM servers going down.
on one of the IASIP podcasts Glen Howerton who plays Denis on IASIP tells his story on how he got his Tesla stuck in a parking garage, because there was no signal there, so he couldn't use his phone to open it, then called a tow truck after buddying up to the parking garage attendant, but that they couldn't do it, because the size of the tow truck to lift the heavy tesla couldn't fit into the garage.
it also inspired an episode in the latest season, brilliant stuff, how stupid it is.
I will def. have the last laugh: with no electricity (because remember, apocalypse), owners will starve or suffocate as they can't even open their doors DAYS before i die of radiation induced cancer, laughing
Oh sure, but just wait until they find out the apocalypse also means no electricity...
Not to mention for civilization to collapse a hell of a lot of people have to die; which probably means environmental collapse; which means the oceans are dying; which in turn means there's no oxygen being produced because the keystone species (phytoplankton, algae, etc) are mostly dead or switching to toxic modes of energy production. This means that everyone is dying, no matter if they have an ugly DRM controlled polywagon or not.
Solar panels won’t just stop working, you know. I have a solar generator. Takes forever to charge but it does get power.
Still convinced Elon made this for shits and giggles to see if he could make someone buy it.
Like he did with Twitter. Except that was a drunk bet at a billionaire Christmas party.
i saw one IRL today for the first time. was walking past the dealership in Chicago and they had one on display
there's a Rolls Royce and Maserati dealer a few block away. what i thought at the time is that these are toys for the rich to show off, publicity for the South African, and nothing more
I don't care how many bumper stickers you put on it to hide the fact, this abomination is a scarlet letter announcing what you really are.
Alexis Ohanian (co-founder of Reddit) bought one. I've yet to hear of Spez getting one but he's precisely the kind of tech bro who would.
didn't spez say he likes Elon?
Those bumper stickers are timeless. Imagine going back in time and putting them on model-Ts or Volkswagens.
It’s the new Pontiac Aztek.
Nah the aztek was ahead of its time, this is stupid.
The Aztek was ahead of its time and stupid. "Van living" wasn't a good thing yet, and it don't do it very well.
I've never seen the cyber truck from behind. But is it just me or does it look like the cyber truck not have a bead. Is there just like a super stylish tano or is there seriously not a bead on the cyber truck.
There is a roll up cover. I have seen one with it closed and open.
Well I guess at least it's a "truck"
The bed... it can't even hold a bike. A BIKE. This thing is trash at everything it was marketed for.
Looks like a vector graphic car from some 90's racing game.
It’s like the G Wagon. Sorry if you like the car, but IMO it’s an overpriced ugly box that only shows off the fact the driver spent a shitton of money on an overpriced ugly box. But at least the G Wagon isn’t as stupid as this truck.
The G Wagon, as long as you don't lower it and/or fit stupidly skinny tyres to it is actually pretty good off road, unlike the Tesla. Sure there are better cheaper options if you going off road, but at least the G Wagon can do that.
That's pretty much me but at least he has a car
this is peak owning the libs
i think it looks pretty cool. And i hate Elon with the fury of a million suns.
the meme still pretends cars make sense. so buy some chinese byom to kill more uigurs or have a vw so we all die from diesel....yeah... cars are not the problem..customers are no matter which one they buy.
You really couldn't get the name of a three-letter company right? Wow.
Looks better than your typical pick up
Looks magnitudes better than a raised pick up
This is like saying the first Lara Croft with the polygon boobs looks better than any alternative.
Taste is subjective, but you're wrong on this one.
People are so hilariously angry.
Elon is conservative. Get over it.
He's not conservative. People like Gates or Buffett are conservative. Elmo is batshit crazy.
He's a straight up white nationalist by now, he's been radicalized by his own biggest fans
