If you drive a douchemobil, you shouldn’t be surprised when people think you’re a douche.
Carter tells the paper he has never been a fan of the limelight, somehow forgetting what sort of attention a massive, angular truck would garner him.
Lmao dude bought the fugliest car ever made and didn’t think twice about that decision
I think it is more “carter lies in the paper’s face that he has never been a fan of the limelight”
You literally don’t buy a cyberrustbucket unless you are dying for attention.
Thinking someone is a douche and actively damaging their car are two completely different things. Not cool to damage property like that, just point and laugh or loudly exclaim how that is the ugliest looking car you’ve ever seen and you pity whoever thought it was a good idea to buy one.
People being assholes over it is dumb, but I can’t say I would want one. I saw one recently at my local grocery store and I couldn’t stop thinking how poorly built it looked. It just seemed like the fit and finish of the body panels was kinda bad. I got an overall feeling like it was something put together by a couple of teenagers in metal shop.
People can be shitty, but I still find it amusing that it’s so ugly and stupid it provokes people into a rage.
I think it’s because it costs an obscene amount while being something only a moron would buy. So when someone who is struggling to make ends meet sees that an absolute moron has so much cash that they can blow it on something this dumb, they get angry. It’s not fair that they work hard just to make ends meet while some failson has $100k to blow on a dumb car. At least a Maserati, Porsche, or Ferrari of similar price looks cool.
Or on the flipside… No one feel this way about hideous AMC cars that have been lovingly restored and maintained. I love those hideous monsters lol.
That’s different.
I find all these comically oversized pickups obnoxious.
The cybertruck is just the latest, most obnoxious model to date.
Isn’t that the goal of owning a machine like that? You are trying to provoke a reaction. The car I own was the single most commonly sold sedan the year it was made. I don’t want people reacting to me, noticing me, etc. I want to be another person in the crowd.
If you take a shit in front of a camera you can’t really be upset that people are commenting on it.
I don’t think it’s the car per se that angers people but the idiocy of lemmings who are destroying the world by supporting people like Trump and Musk and Nick Fuentes. And by buying a Tesla car, that’s what you do, you enable Elon Musk to keep on destroying the world.
The exact definition of a ”hateful car”.
One of my neighbors has one. When the ford flex next to it is the better truck in all respects…ya done fucked up
Not only did he get an unpopular truck, but he still uses Reddit. This guy is 0-2. What’s next?
He uses Twitter. Probably watches Televised News
Anyone that supports muskrat is an automatic pos in my book. He’s an evil degenerate.
I’ve never liked that nickname, just because muskrats are pretty cool and don’t deserve to be brought down to that shithead’s level.
You’re right it’s a disservice to the glorious beings that are muskrats. How about we just call him… sir shitstain nazi mckfuckface?
I would suggest “Fuckface von Clownstick” but that name is already taken.
I bet if you knew this guy you’d realise he’s actually 0 - infinity
I mean is it really a truck?
There needs to be a way to validate if something is a truck.
Like, if you can’t put a 2x4 in it, is it a truck? Is an el camino a truck?
IF a cybertruck is a truck, is a Pontiac Aztek a truck?
If you can’t fit a sheet of plywood in the bed, I’d call it a waste of time.
The El Camino is a mullet.
Hey a 1961 Ford rancho was my first vehicle. I did a lot of truck things with that. It was even one of one built of the crappy falcon body, which was one of Ford’s first unibodies. Boy did that thing flex.
I even parked next to 2005ish Ford F150, with that dumb extra short bed. My 50 year old caruck has a bigger bed on it.
Honestly if the POS that Tesla sells here counts as a truck, my bicycle does…

your truck is bad and you should feel bad.
Is there any vehicle in the world that screams rich asshole more than the cyber truck? There are more expensive vehicles for sure, but my first thought if I saw a Pagani wouldn’t be to flip it off.
At least with other expensive cars you can admire the craftsmanship, elegant appearance, and significant history behind the brand or specific model of car. For the money, you get none of those things with a cyber truck.
People who care about such things aren’t Tesla customers. You need to have ultimate shallowness to spend money on Elon’s shitty products.
There are more expensive vehicles for sure
I can understand hitting the lottery and spending six figures on a luxury sports car. I cannot image why anyone would have voluntarily submitted themselves to this vehicle. Its the automotive equivalent of lighting six figures on fire.
I thought it was the automotive equivalent to letting six figures get rained on till it is ruined
Spelling
I guess any vehicle you can’t afford can scream rich asshole if you’re bitter enough
Shit boomer take
I may be a boomer but at least I don’t spend my days hating shit.
It depends on the car. If I see a nice looking expensive car I don’t think they’re an asshole. Seeing something amazing is a treat for a gearhead like me, no matter how bitter I am.
The Cybertruck, however, is ugly as fuck. Unless your aesthetic is 80s low-poly video games it is even uglier in person than pictures. The fact that something that ugly costs that much is almost insulting.
Apparently not everyone thinks it’s ugly.
any vehicle you can’t afford
Definitely a difference between living beyond your means and simply pissing the money away.
Admittedly, this vehicle was made by a guy who wrecked his McLauren inside a year. When you’re a billionaire, I guess you just see everything as disposable.
I saw one in person finally a few weeks ago and just started laughing; it’s even uglier in person! But I wouldn’t intentionally try to damage someone else’s vehicle; that’s even more ridiculous.
I had the same reaction, I immediately started laughing at how ridiculous it looked.
Should’ve bought a Rivian.
Should’ve bought a bicycle lol, there’s no better way to get around town if you ask me.
That depends on where you live lots of places are very unfriendly to bike riders
You don’t have to tell me that, I’m an American lol. I still ride anyways but there’s a camera rolling every time I ride these days so if someone hits me or attacks me, that’s going to become a big problem for them.
I started wearing one after an obese dipshit in a lifted truck started to act like he was going to attack me after cutting me off and calling me homophobic slurs (you know because riding a bike means you love dick I guess). They opened the door and climbed out but then got right back in and took off like a bat out of hell as soon as it was apparent that I wasn’t going to run away or cower (probably for the best, I never ride unarmed and can fight reasonably well, plus there’s the regular cardio and strength training cycling provides).
As soon as I hopped off my bike, he looked like he was going to shit his pants lol, pretty certain he was expecting me to try and ride away. It’s amazing how a camera has almost completely eliminated people doing dumb shit - as soon as they see the camera, they behave. Doesn’t help with negligent drivers, but it’s still made a huge difference with belligerent drivers.
Anyone reading this that hates cyclists should think hard about this before they decide to try and attack one of us: You don’t know who is on that bike or what they are capable of, so fuck with them at your own peril and don’t forget that there are cameras everywhere these days, even if you might not notice them.
E-bike. It’s more energy efficient than straight biking.
I like my ebike, but I like my bicycle even more. I can’t quite place my finger on why, but it’s probably because my bicycle is a pretty decent hardtail and my ebike is a cheap drop-shipped folding fatbike that I use more for heavier hauls or recovery days. I’d probably change my opinion if I had something like a Specialized Turbo lol.
I pull my inflatable kayak with a bike trailer and thought about an ebike but then, I also do touring and the places I go to are beyond battery life. For example this weekend I’m cycling 90 km to my camp site and there’s no electricity. And I need to get back.
And the second issue with this is that AFAIK there’s no fast charging on most ebikes. So if I need to stop somewhere to charge it when the battery will be dead after 75 km, it will take an eternity to charge.
So in the end, for my case, as someone cycling a few thousand kilometres a year, for “longer distances”, it’s wouldn’t be very practical.
You can still pedal without the battery, you just don’t get the assist. What do you mean by fast charging? My battery goes from empty to full in 4 hours, and I have a 50 mile range. (80.5 km)
But with a dead battery you have to haul it plis your stuff, which was supposed to be there to make it easier in the first place.
And by fast charge, I mean like an electric car, that can fully cjarge in about 15 to 20 minutes instead of hours.
Wouldn’t you still get some benefit once you’re going due to regenerative breaking? Though I’m just guessing as to how they are set up, no idea if they even do regenerative breaking.
[laughs in vegetarian]
Should’ve bought a squirrel
OK…
It’s probably the worst car design to date. Also, prone to rusting
It’s prone to a lot of things apparently, more to follow I’m sure.
Well there was this…
https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/The_Homer
Simpsons didn’t quite predict it 100% this time
Teslas in general are super ugly but this is an abomination.
IDK, some of their sedans don’t really look that bad IMO but this thing is a huge departure from previous designs.
What a psycho
He should find all the Republicans who can’t get Tinder matches and start a support group.
The thing that really made me dislike it is the trunk has a really sharp close that’s just begging for cut someones fingers off
Why an engineer would use a “learning algorithm” rather than just use a “never crush something” is beyond me. So poorly designed.
So they progressively increase closing force if it keeps detecting something but the owner keeps trying to close it. I can vaguely see the reasoning only if they aren’t confident in the frunk sensor for some reason. I mean garage doors solved this problem forever ago without having to resort to something like that.
I wonder if the “vision-based everything” mandate from Musk applies outside of autonomous driving features? Makes sense to not be confident in it if it’s just a camera…
Because Elmo demands that his people redesign the idea of a car from the ground up, just because he wants to prove he’s The Most Special Boy. Remember when they were having all those problems with power steering, and they were like, “hey, our company is basically brand new, we’re still working out some kinks.”
Like, power steering has been solved for a long time now, there’s no need to try to reinvent it.
I’m surprised that they haven’t released any cars with three, five, or six wheels yet.
I take it you haven’t heard about the doors cutting people up? Yeah, that’s a thing.
This seems like an overblown concern. To prove it, I’m going to make a video putting my finger in the way as it closes and I’m sure it will be fine… /s
“Hold your horses! I’m typing as fast as I can with 6 fingers!”
And no crumple zones, apparently…
I’m certainly not nearly as much of an Elon hater as most of this site, but even I think that thing looks like crap.
From your comment, I know that either:
You have no children who have drawn a picture for you.
- or -
You do, but they don’t know your Lemmy account.
Drawn a picture of what?
I want a cyber minivan. Then I can truly be hated by everyone.
You can already get a plug in hybrid minivan.
Its so uncool but I love it.
I only buy gas every 3 months.
That is still cooler than a CyberMinivan. This thing will be literally hated by all.
To me, minivans are probably the most sensible vehicles out there. Does it comfortably seat 5 to 8 people? Yes. Does it offer lots of space for anything you need to haul from A to B? Yes. Does it have a footprint and gas consumption similar to a regular sedan? Yes.
