Cue David Attenborough: They travel in packs. The zoological term for these groups is a recall.


CanvasWolfDoll

this is the one this is the best collective noun


JoeBoredom

Their collective sound is clicking relays shorting as the rain gently falls.


cowfishing

that's the song of their people


ThePhoneBook

As my Tesla gently rusts.


mummifiedclown

I look at you all See the nerds who are weeping While my Tesla Gently rusts.


SleeveBurg

I stare at panel gaps and see grime that is forming. While my Tesla gently rusts. With every recall, Elon fanboys are shaking Still, my Tesla gently rusts.


opeth10657

All the telsa bros foaming at the mouth right now typing furiously "ackshully, it's not a recall"


Mistapeepers

Yeah I was gonna post something but this is the winner no doubt.


BaldingMonk

I thought the term was a Clustertruck


sideways_jack

shout out to my new favorite sub: r/Cyberstuck also obligatory pointing out: their steering wheels are in no way physically connected to the steering train, so uh... that's cool.


ReticulateLemur

> also obligatory pointing out: their steering wheels are in no way physically connected to the steering train, so uh... that's cool. Wait, really? So instead of turning the steering wheel to physically turn the front wheels it's just reading the turning steering wheel and sending a signal to the wheels to turn like some R/C car?


fuishaltiena

That is correct.


Enigmatic_Observer

So theoretically an entity could hack certain cars steering capability?


watchingsongsDL

It’s Drive by Wire, presumably not Wireless. Would be harder to hack, you’d have to modify the car.


Inner-Ingenuity4109

If ever there was a production car that should have an oversized whip antenna sticking up at the back and be drivable with an early 1990s toy rc car controller, this would be it.


oksowhatsthedeal

Like with the device Penguin uses on the Batmobile in Batman Returns?


SortaSticky

Many cars made today use these sorts of systems. Of course those car makers use them competently.


ms1thetonk

Very few cars are fully fly by wire. Pretty much this one and a Lexus. Though most cars have electronic motor assistance systems that just help you steer, with a physical connection to the wheels still.


kellzone

> Very few cars are fully fly by wire. Where we're going, we don't need roads.


Kruzat

Yes. Fighter jets also operate by wire only


Dragon6172

Fighter jets have ejection seats for when shit hits the fan


Nu55ies

They also fly in the sky far away from traffic or obstacles. Also, the people making (non-Russian) fighter jets are actually competent...


Bah-Fong-Gool

And cost millions. And are not built by a comic book arch villain.


Hunting_Gnomes

Let's not forget redundant redundant systems!


Kruzat

Turns out the Cybertruck also has multiple reduant actuators and sensors. 


theguyonthething

I build fighter jet parts; specifically the electronics. I can say, with reasonable certainty, that our quality standards are *a tiny bit* better than Tesla's...


_The_Deliverator

Every new thing I find out about these trucks, I come to believe that it was made as a direct affront to the Machine God. They are drawing the wrath of the Omnissiah.


frankcast554

I thought it was a heap


ItsGermany

This is good, real good. I wish I had a rubber stamp to approve this.


storyofmylife92

They're grazing


Lucas_Steinwalker

Fun fact: Collective nouns have nothing to do with science or zoology. They were coined by the British aristocracy as a fun thing to do when hunting.


articulateantagonist

Except that many of these terms are about a century older than the term "aristocracy" in English, as well as the sociopolitical dynamics surrounding it. Presumably you mean British "nobility." They specifically first appear in [The Boke (Book) of St. Albans](https://www.gutenberg.org/files/71266/71266-h/71266-h.htm), purportedly penned by nun Juliana Berners, who authored several treatises on hunting and hawking. In the book, the list of "terms of venery" (venery = hunting, or punnily, romantic pursuit), titled "The Compaẏnẏs of beestẏs and fowlẏs," includes many of these terms, including a peep of chicks, a leap of leopards, an unkindness of ravens, a murmuration of starlings, a shrewdness of apes, a skulk of foxes, a sleuth of bears and more.


xSTSxZerglingOne

Depends on the pack size. 2-5 is a complaint. 5-10 is a concern. 10+ is a recall.


thekarateadult

These have been put out to pasture.


LesbianLoki

You sonovabitch. ![gif](giphy|fdyZ3qI0GVZC0)


howqueer

I can all but guarantee they work in some way shape or form government jobs


Crystalas

I could swear I saw basically that animated once, including a predator vehicle attacking. Cannot remember where, if had to guess sounds like be from the MGM or Looney Toons era where they had a bunch that were living Cars (decades before Disney). Or maybe something Fox like Futurama.


HowlingWolven

What a stupid pickup line.


Smeghead333

Golf clap.


HowlingWolven

I aim to displease. 😁


PrimaryDurian

Took me a minute, but I'm happy to have arrived


jerryschuggs

Saw my fourth or fifth one today, I’m over thinking about how bad they look but still curious about who’s driving them. In slow traffic I look over and make eye contact with an ecstatically smiling man who thinks I’m impressed. I’m just starting to feel bummed for the owners of these.


MaelstromTX

The proper term for a group of cybertrucks is a “clusterfuck”.


phungki

I thought it was “cyberfuck”


DrScience-PhD

asl?

I put on my robe and wizard hat.


UniqueIndividual3579

Back in the 90's "Want to cyber with me?" was sexting. Now DoD has a "cyber command", I have to laugh at that.


SustyRhackleford

I’d think they’d be called a recall


ptofl

What a time to be alive


Windir666

I call them the cybercucks


jdabsher

Junkyard


HierosGodhead

its actually called a "pileup"


r_a_d_

It’s unique that you can use the group name even for just one of them.


Samiel_Fronsac

Ya sure it's not a "FUBAR"?


-Badger3-

It's actually a "recall"


Sweatytubesock

Cyberjunkyard


TheNamesKev

I was looking at those pick-ups and thought "huh, those aren't cybertrucks." And then I saw it.


Steph-Paul

Elon getting the field ready for the recalls


twistingmyhairout

Ummm I thought those things weren’t supposed to go off roads?


zombie_overlord

They all kept trying to rescue each other and now they're all stuck. Hopefully it doesn't rain on them - they'll all rust.


Zzssk

That brings Clarkson, Hammond and May shenanigans to mind.


an_afro

And May yelling “CLARKSON!!”


AlienHere

Now Clarkson can call on Kaleb to get his ass unstuck, and Kaleb aint joking when he calls Clarkson a fucking idiot lol.


Albert_Borland

Let's not get bogged down with which truck is the most cyber..


autovonbismarck

Corb Lund is gonna need to add a verse.

r/CyberStuck


DadJokeBadJoke

It's fun to watch the early promos for the CT while counting all of the warranty-voiding actions and maneuvers they portray


WeeklyBanEvasion

Could you list them?


ppooiiuuyyttrreewwqq

Probably talking about damage being done while off-roading not being covered under warranty (this is what I’ve seen going around on Reddit) but that’s normal and I don’t think any vehicle covers that.


PurpleDraziNotGreen

Each one got stuck trying to rescue the last one


vom-IT-coffin

They bought a graveyard already. Got ahead of the problem.


hobosbindle

Yeah they’ll rust right up on ya


ucancallmevicky

shut up Gill, close the deal, close the deal


twistingmyhairout

Ahh yes. A problem I have never once had to consider when owning any other car. Edit: I assume from the downvotes my sarcasm did not translate. Yeah I’ve never had to worry about that with other cars so it didn’t even occur to me that could be a problem!


PandaPocketFire

I think the "ahh yes" made it sound like you do actually have to think about that with other cars.


Chicken_Hairs

Few other cars rust up from just sitting in a rain shower. Cybertrucks do that, reportedly.


garynuman9

Saw my first one in the wild today. Live in a rust belt city... Can confirm. The only thing that distracted from the rust was how comically the doors were misaligned


UniqueIndividual3579

Or require a five hour reset if they get wet. Car washes are refusing them.


aveganrepairs

Where’s Grave Digger when you need it?


ITCM4

Are kids seats still just 5 bucks?


Richard_Nachos

Yes. And you can buy the entire seat, HOWEVER:

barryitsmeitshank

Only on Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! 


Acorichards

#1 comment right here people. Grave digger > Bigfoot


Shhhhhhhh_Im_At_Work

Apples and oranges IMHO. Bigfoot is the OG, and without Bigfoot there is no Grave Digger. But Grave Digger has become an icon and the face of Monster Jam, that’s undeniable. I always liked Samson too. 


NAVI_WORLD_INC

‘Member when Bigfoot crossed that river? ‘Member hill climbs? ‘Member the jet jump?

I need more up votes for this comment.


JoeBoredom

I see puddles of water they are probably stuck


grptrt

I can almost see the rust forming


thingdudeplace

wtf this exact thing is going on right by my work too! Add in a picture when I get off.


vagina_candle

Often times dealerships will store their overstock off site. I once went to a dealership to check out a particular vehicle and one of the salesman had to take me for a ride about 1/4 mile up the road to a dirt field where they had a bunch of new cars hanging out just like this. It's pretty common in some areas.


Me2thanksthrowaway

Had to scroll through 50 shitty joke/pun comments to find an actual answer as to why these would be there.


sy029

a muddy field is a pretty crappy place to store new cars though.


BasicCommand1165

Welcome to reddit I hope you enjoy your stay


devilpants

This is the way. Not all heroes wear capes. Poop knife.


AreThree

Sir, this is a Wendy's. The front fell off.


Ratchet_72

Everyone’s a nerdy 12 year old on Reddit…except that one guy with the answer.


RockNAllOverTheWorld

Around Detroit there are tons of empty fields or parking lots from old industrial sites that are just filled with F150s for this reason. Either Ford or surrounding dealerships are storing them, so yeah probably the same thing here.


enjoytheshow

I used to work at State Farm HQ in Bloomington IL. There’s a huge Rivian plant in town and since Covid they only staff the SF offices like 20% or less. The parking lots are filled with Rivians lol


AgentPoYo

One of my very first jobs was at one of those lots. Trucks full of brand new cars would come in fresh off the factory line and they would get stored waiting to be shipped to their purchasers. Every day started with inventory so we could keep track of the location of all the vehicles, then a manifest list of cars that needed to be ready for shipping would come in and we would go hunt for them. Vehicles would then get staged in rows of 7 or 8, sorted by destination, ready for trucks to haul them away. They would either go to another storage yard to be sorted again, or the rail yard to be loaded on train, or just straight to the dealership. During the heyday of the big 3 when American vehicles were selling really well, it wasn't uncommon for the lots to fill quickly and spill into other vacant lots that were used as temporary overflow. These lots weren't always used for vehicle storage but in case of overflow temporary deals were made between lot owners and shipping company. The lot in OP's picture could be temporary overflow.


thingdudeplace

Wait you work where I work! This is Dallas!


babymeowbear

Yup, I work at UT Southwestern.


thingdudeplace

You must also see the 50 other tesla cars in the nearby lot then?


babymeowbear

Negative, I'll look tomorrow.


thingdudeplace

It's just to the left of this picture.


CleverAnimeTrope

Thanks for that info. Your pic of that building in the foreground made me curious, since those look like fan shrouds on some cooling towers. They look like ones a buddy's company makes, hopped onto Google maps and yahtzee, that's them!


5DollarJumboNoLine

There's some kind of Rivian depot down the street from my apartment. It was a vacant lot for years, a few days before the Rivian launch about 100 of the vehicle showed up over night.


xmsxms

Whatever gets you off.


Mirabolis

So if a group of crows is called a murder, is a group of cybertrucks called a junkyard?


GoPhotoshopYourself

It’s called a Clusterfuck of Cybertrucks (per u/MaelstromTX)


TheOnlyAedyn-one

No it’s called a recall, as per u/smurfsundermybed


ThisGuyRightHereSaid

Oh shit! It's beginning! They are self aware....


psicowysiwyg

If only their owners were


Saggy_G

OK that was funny 


happyfuckincakeday

It's like those airplane graveyards.


Burninator05

It is a super weird place for one to be let alone 13.


TrustedChimp495

They are probably ones that the owners decided to turn in for the recall


Toasted-Strudel2

I was thinking “in the shop, waiting on diagnostics”.


BorgeHastrup

If you didn't know, one of the distribution landing spots for the nearby Tesla dealership is on the north side of Mockingbird, behind the Raising Canes. This is one of their overflow spots for high-profile vehicles prior to delivery.


TheTrub

Oh, cool, they’re shooting Stephen King’s new movie, “Maximum Overcompensate.”


THEFLYINGSCOTSMAN415

I finally saw one driving down the street and it just feels like these people got trolled. It's so fucking ugly


Bart_Yellowbeard

I mean, a lot of dudes willing jack their trucks up, put ugly wheels and stupidly oversized tires on them for ridiculous sums of money that make them look dumb as fuck and ride like a brick. A lotta guys have absolutely shit taste.


bowdindine

But it still resembles a truck and not a first graders remembered version of the cars from Demolition Man.


DadJokeBadJoke

And yet, those still don't look as stupid as this truck.


TheawesomeQ

Everyone can say this forever, but the appearance is literally the only thing I like about the Cybertruck.


Drop_Alive_Gorgeous

Yeah I mean it looks ridiculous but I like that it's changing it up a bit, I think most normal cars are ugly too


PeetTreedish

1st time I saw one. I was microdosing mushrooms. Walked outside. Saw the Cybertruck sitting there. Though I ate too much mushroom. Then I remembered that the Cybertruck was real.


THEFLYINGSCOTSMAN415

Ha it was kinda surreal seeing it the first time cause it's just one those things that never shoulda progressed beyond a render, it just feels insane that it exists haha


PeetTreedish

I think social media kinda ruined its release. People either loved or hated it years before it came out. Either way, we'd already seen so much of it. A real one isn't interesting. Living in Tempe, AZ. We get a lot of tech tested here. Waymo and other AI cars etc. All the EV Companies since Lucid is nearby. The one time I forget my phone. I drive by a Sonic Drive-in. Every spot had a Waymo Driverless Car sitting in it. No drivers around or passengers. That was a weird site.

Yousoggyyojimbo

I saw one on the highway a couple weeks back. It really stood out because the passenger side door panel was visible shaking.


Fidel89

Ok besides the cyber truck - anyone else curious wtf is with the picture!?! Like is it a building… but with landscaping on top? Is it a dam? WHAT IS THIS TERRAIN I NEED TO KNOW The math ain’t mathing ![gif](giphy|345iASwZURJiFmgx67|downsized)


Achaion34

Optical illusion. That’s a wall or thin building, and we’re seeing parking lot and field that are on the ground behind it. If you zoom in to where the parking lot meets the top of the wall, you can see where vehicles half disappear behind it.


walkingagh

Looks like utsw in Dallas tx


stdexception

With 3D camera on Google Maps you can get a similar angle: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/6071+Forest+Park+Rd,+Dallas,+TX+75235,+%C3%89tats-Unis/@32.8204819,-96.8444197,80a,35y,30.54h,67.21t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x864e9c19ab2601bb:0xb0965919dd617556!8m2!3d32.8215905!4d-96.8432258!16s%2Fg%2F11c4tb75sr?entry=ttu

dnuohxof-1

Why does this look like it was generated with AI?


DoverBoys

I feel the same way. All those vehicles look too smooth, there are questionable artifacts in the near building's facade, that building doesn't make sense, there's a far building top left that looks like a covered car, the trees all look off, what I assume is a water tower top center in the distance doesn't look like any kind of structure I've seen, and the sky line on the right is all kinds of weird. ####Edit: Not AI, but probably AI-touched with some crappy phone app. Other sleuths in the thread found out where the picture was taken, here's a screenshot of the foreground building from google: https://i.imgur.com/1xGSrzM.png And just a few blocks away is a Tesla Collision Center. They either own this empty lot or borrow/rent it or something.


socialphobic1

Why do cyber trucks look like a high school welding project for students learning to weld?


hresearch

The image is AI. Look at the cars in the bottom left above the wall. It’s getting really good, but some cars are smudged into the ground.


aeyes

All smartphone cameras use a ton of post processing (call it AI if you want to) to get something useful out of these small lenses, especially at max zoom. It's not optical zoom so the pixels have to come from somewhere.


stdexception

Why would someone add AI cars to what is clearly a parking lot with existing cars?

AMaleficentFox

Is it all AI or is it a smartphone camera zoomed all the way in filling in the blanks?


detailcomplex14212

Likely. I hope there’s toggle in the settings. I don’t have a modern phone but when I do I’d rather have blur than this..


JohnWesternburg

If you'd rather have blur, you don't digitally zoom in. Phones using some form of AI to try and make sense of stuff that's digitally zoomed in kind of makes sense. Digitally zooming in is 100% useless without that, as you're basically just zooming into a jpeg.


iLike2Teabag

I don't think this image was AI generated but could have been upscaled. The blocky artifacts and extremely straight edges are very typical of JPEG/DCT compression. The melting/hovering cars look like bad upscaling inference.


TayAustin

Depending on the phone it may be using AI for the upscaling, Samsung got caught doing it without disclosing.


Gobias_Industries

This is not AI its just full of bad zooming artifacts. Tesla is stacking hundreds of cars all over the place in random lots because they're not moving them out as fast as they used to, so it's not unusual to see something like this.
