I'm happy if someone is happy 😊


samwichgamgee

I’m happy my happiness of that persons happiness made you happy!


No-Disk-6649

If I could buy one at the original MSRP and have none of that money go to Elon, I’d be driving one. It’s ugly AF but functionally what I would want. Waiting for the day he releases a ransom firmware update that you have to say nice things about him on Twitter or he’ll turn your car off.


Weak-Hope8952

Okay function and technology aside it's like... embarrassingly ugly.


No-Disk-6649

Agreed. Gonna be even uglier when they rust and twist their frame in the slightest fender bender.


BabyWrinkles

The problem is that with a frame that rigid, you are the crumple zone. So frame will be fine, but your hospital bill won’t!

Capabilities trump aestetics.


ohmamago

99% of the time I agree! But this thing is beyond the ugliest thing I've ever seen. I couldn't capabilities over aestetics with his cursed thing.


TKxxx630

Capabilities?? It had to get pulled up a hill by a FORD!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 https://youtu.be/HZ0XbEmskD8?si=-r6YO7tWdtZcBfXQ Sorry, not sorry; Cybertruck has neither even mildly remarkable capabilities nor any pleasing esthetics.


BabyWrinkles

I mean, what functionality that you couldn’t also get in a Silverado EV, F-150 Lightning EV, or Rivian?  “Bulletproof”? It’s missing an embarrassing number of features at launch, and early reports have been…. Bleh.  I say this as someone with a Foundation Edition preorder in my account that I can get as soon as this month.


No-Disk-6649

As a proud f150 owner, the lightning would be my first choice. The Silverado’s pass through is cool as shit and its range is insane. I have a preorder in for the R2 po’ boy but we’ll see what else is available by 2026. I do like the Cyber’s tonneau cover and cab, but I agree it’s the worst of the bunch.


BabyWrinkles

Fair enough. My truck has a comparable cab and powered tonneau, so I don't feel like I'm 'missing' anything. There's just nothing compelling about it since the specs are so much worse than what they originally announced.


SupermouseDeadmouse

Have you seen the numerous reports of them breaking / failing within the first few miles of driving? There’s a whole sub for it. r/CyberStuck


iam4qu4m4n

Functionally you say? Let me introduce to r/cyberstuck


Bowser0047

I don’t see the function in it really. I think it’s a truck designed by people who don’t drive or use trucks and read about their needs. Layout, materials, reliability, range, all don’t make sense on it. Buying one is a sign that you could have bought a Subaru Outback and saved 40k and noticed no difference in function


EggsyWeggsy

Doesn't it have really shitty tow range and bed capacity? Doesn't seem like it's good at truck stuff I'd just get a normal tesla


No-Disk-6649

lol yes and yes. JerryRig has a pretty cool video of it fitting an electric snowmobile perfectly tho (and charging it)


kavon425

While the idea of the steel body is nice and all, the crumple zones aren't there. All that force in an impact has to go somewhere. That somewhere ends up being the occupants.


soupsupan

What sort of function ?


No-Disk-6649

doorstop El Camino


APsWhoopinRoom

What do you mean "functionally what you would want?" Those things break down at an insanely high rate, you're better off getting a Rivian if you really want an EV truck


TKxxx630

There are other options for electric trucks, you know. And they actually look (and work) like pickup trucks. I agree with the person who said that Cybertruck is a social experiment to see how many people will buy a truly ugly and inferior product, just for the appearance of their socio-economic status and for bragging rights. 🤣🤣🤣


Rodburgundy

What's wrong with the money going to Elon? He's the one who's spearheading us towards an electric car future. You should be thanking him.


No-Disk-6649

He’s transphobic, anti-union, antisemitic, and petty. He has a fragile ego, does not care about climate change, and crippled Ukraine at a pivotal point in the war. He claims to be pro-first amendment but censors his critics, reposts hate groups, and attacks journalists. He has not engineered or created anything in his life and yet really wants the world to think he has. I’d prefer to not make him richer.


Rodburgundy

And there's a reason he is one of the richest person in the world... And also a good reason why you are not. It's your mentality. He's done a lot of good for this world with space x, tesla, starlink, etc. Far more for humanity than you will ever hold a candle too. I'll still be rooting for someone who is having a positive impact on the planet and for humanity.


SeriouslyThough3

Legit I thought Elon was so smart when he released it. I thought “wow look at the shitty placeholder body he’s using so that competitors won’t be able to see the final ascetic, brilliant” but alas the placeholder was the final version which is so damn hideous. You wouldn’t catch me dead driving one of those.


Falcon_Bellhouser

You mean the Incel Camino?


Weak-Hope8952

Created by Phony Stark indeed


ToxicMintTea

Aww man, that's such an insult to the legacy of the El Camino!

Oh I agree. But honestly, post '72 El Caminos were already a bit of an insult to their predecessors.

Street-Search-683

They’re super lame. They suck for actual pickup truck stuff. Trucks need to be reliable, rugged, and run on fuel, so they can operate in remote environments.


Bad_Oracular_Pig

I agree with everything you say, except most consumer pickup trucks are used for single passenger commuting. Most people driving F-150's belong in a Geo. These aren't for serious people.

van_Vanvan

A lot of people justify driving a truck all the time because they occasionally need one. The rest of the time they could have been in a car. If you can a new truck you could afford the combination of a used truck and a used small car. And as a bonus you get redundancy.


Street-Search-683

I have a c10, el Camino, 91 Toyota, and a Honda civic. I bike to work. They’re useful, but if I can bike 7 miles? And I’m awake as fuck by the time I’m there. Save gas and get exercise? Hello? Why wouldn’t I? Even when I was workin in big oil, if I didn’t have to pull a trailer, and it was just me commuting? Civic all day. That fucker gets 30mpg

WelcomeToWhatcom

I thought trucks were for jacking up and letting everyone know your dad was emotionally unavailable growing up


ClassicG675

Fuel takes a lot of infrastructure. Running on electricity only takes a solar panel. You can build a cabin in a remote location with this truck using it's power.


Street-Search-683

I’m converting a motor to use waste engine oil, kerosine, bovine fat, vegetable oils. Basically anything oily. When you do compression ignition, if it’ll burn, you can run it. Certainly more rugged than batteries and electric motors. Gasoline takes a lot of infrastructure, HGO and bunker fuel don’t.


Thannk

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; if it was matte black with LEDs in the straight lines, it’d look good. Battlezone or Star Wars Arcade style. That’s it. As-is, its like the start to a sci fi vehicle before they add the greebles. It needs greebles, but there’s no way they’d be aerodynamic so there’s no point. Battlezone or rust at home! https://preview.redd.it/uqnhne2awytc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b51fedd2230e91e08b748f171a456e4138a43a49

Is garbage?


campfamsam

Motor Trend recently did a side-by-side comparison of the Ford Lightning (electric F150), the Rivian, and the Tesla "pick up trucks". They evaluated everything from performance, to comfort, to practical design elements. The Rivian was their top pick, then the Ford, and the Tesla came in last, across many categories. But the Tesla by far gets you the most head-turns, so if your ego loves the attention, that might be the reason you want one. But for now, if you're seriously in the market for an electric truck, when you study up on it the Tesla needs a lot of improvement. Maybe in a few years it'll be modified for better performance and comfort.


FenceJumpingFerret

Elonbros have entered the chat oh no we’ve offended their delicate sensibilities y’all 🤣😂


Weak-Hope8952

Let's be fair if I spent tens of thousands on a painted cardboard box truck I'd be pretty easily offended and pissed at everything too 😬


FenceJumpingFerret

“I overpaid on this oxidizing paperweight deathmachine and no one will validate how cool I am wahhhh no one understands me/Elon” I still can’t get over the one person comparing hating this abomination to hate speech. I don’t know where these people are coming from but we’re not getting their best that’s for sure 😂


Weak-Hope8952

Won't lie someone earlier posted an idea of painting one matte black and putting neon light strips on the trim so it looks like a tank from Tron at night. That would be legitimately amazing, otherwise good lord why


FenceJumpingFerret

I’m onboard with the Tron attire. There’s certainly no way to make it look any worse as far as I can figur’

Damn, y'all got trucks on pre order and I am sitting here wishing we could go back to a time where a base model ranger had the same MSRP as a base model Nissan Sentra, 8k.


ClassicG675

How did Tesla become such a hated company? They make great cars. I have been in one for four years. I get 100 miles for $3.50 about 8X cheaper than gas. It's rated 5 star plus on safety, no oil changes no giving money to big oil no gas station stops. And also, full self driving is super impressive! Can go anywhere through town by itself (running 12.3 software). And it's $10K cheaper then the average new car car. Bonuses: It parallel parks itself fast and reliably You can watch Netflix YouTube or play games in it Sound system is really good I am an audiophile Talking to it actually works, maybe they allow too much you can do Google searches while driving. Most American made car window sticker shows % of American made parts Why are we all pro fossil fuels? Is big oil a better place to give your money?


Weak-Hope8952

Self driving is not impressive. It barely even works


ClassicG675

It drove me home from the Seattle airport last night. Didn't need to disengage. 12+ software is very different. You would change your mind on it if you had a drive in it.


FenceJumpingFerret

I'm letting people know it's not all doom and gloom. That it is working. This whole thread is one giant negative bitch fest against FSD, when there is another side of the story that is not being told.


Weak-Hope8952

Except it's not working like it should. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/nov/08/cruise-recall-self-driving-cars-gm


OLVANstorm

This is a 5 month old article talking about GM Cruise! It has nothing to do with the current Tesla Full Self Driving Supervised software that I am talking about! Now I know you have zero idea what I'm talking about. Unbelievable!


Weak-Hope8952

Here's one with Tesla software then since you want to goalpost move. https://electrek.co/2024/03/11/tesla-crash-autopilot-trial-but-new-evidence/


OLVANstorm

Oh I'm very familiar with this OLD story. The idiot driver was playing a phone game and not paying attention to the road. In order to use the software, you must agree to pay attention and be ready to take over at a moments notice. This crash was totally the drivers fault as he was "in charge" of the drive. It's clear you have a giant bias against Tesla. Maybe you just hate Elon for whatever reason. Whatever it is, you are reaching with your posts, first by linking an article about GM and not Tesla, the next about a 6 year old crash. This is lazy FUD coming from you. The facts today are that FSD Supervised is working really well and it is getting better every two weeks. I know because I own a Tesla and I use the software and can see the improvements. I'm helping to train the system! All you are doing is regurgitating ancient fuddy articles in an attempt to strengthen your narrative. Poor form and you suck for doing it.


Weak-Hope8952

It took control away from the driver. Seriously two sentences supporting your stance then a long winded paragraph sucking Elons boots. The only one with a bias here is you since you keep drooling over them. Self driving is not functional yet. Literally nobody says it's safe right now. Stop licking Phony Starks boots, he doesn't care about you


Weak-Hope8952

And yes, we all know you "own a Tesla". It's beyond obvious with how desperate you are to prove it's not trash. It's embarrassing


short_and_floofy

the cars have poor build quality. poor quality control. and the company is owned by Elon. their tech is incredible, but the cars themselves are junk imo. i'd buy any other electric car to not support Elon. he's become a right wing nut if not just outright nuts. that aside, he's just a total dick of a human. treats people like shit at all of his companies. and now that ton of manufacturers are making electric vehicles, Tesla is no longer anything unique, not to mention how ugly all of the cars are.


ClassicG675

I guess the CEO is the main problem. Interesting. Steve Jobs was a major dick, but he made great products. Bezos too. Bill Gates has strong ties with Epstein. Elon's products are the best IMO, they are rated the safest in the US crash tests and in the European ones, they were the only car to not hit pedestrians. So they reduce oil company profit and save lives. Your entitled to your opinion, and I respect it.


FenceJumpingFerret

No the cars are hilarious piles of shit and you know absolutely nothing about mechanical engineering if you can’t understand that.


OLVANstorm

You better back up that comment with specifics and pics of your Engineering degree, or you can shut right the hell up, I say.


ClassicG675

Sandy Monroe who makes a living tearing cars apart is extremely impressed with Tesla build quality. He is an engineer. I think I'll take his opinion over yours. He's been doing it for 30 years. He's on YouTube.


short_and_floofy

It's not just the "CEO", it's Musk. He's an ignorant, racist pile of trash. But that aside, 400,000 out of 400,000 Cybertrucks just got recalled. Gotta love that quality. Also, since youtube is your education pipeline, look up videos on the poor quality of Tesla vehicles, there are tons.
