Yeah, I laughed too, especially at the graphic used in the probation description since I hadn't seen it before.

this looks like a vehicle out of generally. a game where the cars have at max 40 polygons.

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

is the cybertruck a good car? probably not no. but do i like whatever contribution it's had to shake up the car design space from big boy car companies, like the ioniq series? very much, yes.

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.

Is it design disruption, or did someone's computer lag swapping out LOD models while gaming and they had a big brain moment?

It looks like the sharp corners and edges will kill any pedestrian it drives into, so they won't have victim testimony to worry about.

A springy enough hood with room to move is a common design to mitigate pedestrian head impact injuries. I wouldn't be surprised if the Cybertruck hood was the same thick exterior stainless steel that is near guaranteed to crack your head.

It looks like a car from a Demolition Man reboot, a vehicle that never has to operate out of a completely controlled environment.

It would never be legal to drive in Europe, where regulations exist to stop people getting straight up murdered by vehicles made out of solid steel with jutting angles. I don't know what US regulations are like but I'd like to think they would have problems with it too.

Fortunately Musk never has to deliver it, like everything else.

oh you sweet sweet innocent soul. what does your heart tell you about the place that made it legal to commit vehicular homicide on a protestor?

the US has zero national regulations for pedestrian safety

people throw the term "dickrider" around way too much to refer to like, i dunno, weirdos who like star wars prequels or something. IMO almost no behavior really fits that term. but the responses to that goddam truck are dickriding if anything ever was.

Musk would rather donate half his wealth to Planned Parenthood than give up his PJs and travel around in first class like a poor.

To him they are a "greater good" thing because he is, in fact, a Very Good Person Making The World Better and so dumping a ton of jet fuel into the air every day is good actually, you moron, you imbecile.

Every Tesla sold is a carbon negative for his personal lifestyle rather than the purchaser.

Musk actively sides with the GOP and is ranting about women needing to have babies, dude wouldn't donate to Planned Parenthood if his life depended on it.

I don't remember if it was posted here or on reddit, but some guy got a dent and/or scratch in his (Tesla's) door and took to the dealership to see about getting it fixed. They quoted him something like $15k because they were only able to replace the entire door.

I just assume that if someone gets into a fender bender in a Tesla they'd have to mark it off as "totaled" and buy a new car out of pocket.

If you buy a Tesla I hope you're also rich enough to absorb any weird repair costs and presumably can afford to wait for parts

you might say that if you buy a Tesla you get what YOU DESERVE *throws softball at cybertruck window*

I've been tryin' to speak with you for a long time
So it’s hard to find specs on the cyber tuck because it’s vaporware, but what I could find basically said the thing is going to be 6350KG curb weight (so about 14000 lbs), will have a payload capacity of 3500 lbs, and a 14000lbs towing capacity. You need a CDL to drive anything with a GWVR of 26,001 lbs and up in the US. It doesn’t appear to be a viable commercial vehicle and most people won’t be licensed for it. Just who is the intended market for this vehicle?
