ryde posted:The most charitable interpretation I could make is that they are worried about bottoming out the truck since thats where the battery packs are and bad things happen if they get punctured. I think you're right. Every video of them I see, they're always being super ginger with them for clearance. Another thing I think might be happening is that the frame might not be strong enough with all that mass near the center between the wheels and if they shock it too hard, the frame might bend. I mean the frame looked strong enough but they seem very scared to apply too much change in direction to it.

Tarkus posted:So, are they just being really soft on these things or do the drivers just feel unsafe I wonder. There should be tons of low-end torque on a vehicle like that but they drive them like they have no power. These idiotic things are heavy, remember. Generously suppose they do have some untapped torque. Wouldn't revving it just tear up the road, like armored military vehicles tear up the land in war zones? The sheer mass of the polygonal wonder is fully defeating its existence and any purpose in the real world.

greatBigJerk posted:The more the Cybertruck gets these really dumb "it's so tough!" posts, the more I am excited to see chuds do stupid poo poo to their trucks only to realize that it's actually not invincible. i've realized that joe rogan shooting the cybertruck with arrows, and elon claiming it can survive being shot at with a tommy gun claims... it'll be real hilarious once chuds start destroying their own cybertrucks and finding out its not so tough. of course some youtube channel will do a "test" on the car and then elon stans will attack them for being "biased" when all they're doing is just showing people that maybe you shouldn't trust elon when he says your car is bullet proof/arrow proof/glass shatter proof

Noxville posted:It must be powerful, remember that it can pull ‘near-infinite mass’ https://futurism.com/the-byte/tesla-mocked-cybertruck-pull-near-infinite-mass To be fair most electric vehicles, by nature of how their motors are, have extremely good low-end torque. Depends on how it's geared or if it's direct drive though. Even electric motorcycles, if not properly tuned in the controller can snap your wrist in half if you go too hard on the throttle. I suspect that the yBerTRUK is no different.

Just realized we've only seen a video of it getting hit by an arrow. Meanwhile, for the tommy gun test it's totally just a case of "trust us, bro." And we have absolutely jack poo poo in regards to how it will perform in an actual collision - you know, the thing that is way more likely to happen on the road than getting shot at by arrows and old-timey machine guns. Would really love to see that, especially considering that Musk decided that crumple zones and absorbing energy from a collision is apparently for losers. Also, I can't get over the fact that Musk apparently took at total face value the claim that Lyme disease - a disease we have proof of existing for at least 5,000 years - was made in a US government lab. I don't know why this gets me so mad, but it does. I hate that people treat him as a a modern-day Einstein-Tesla-Newton-whatever, when time after time after time he reveals himself to be so intensely incurious and gullible.

  It's true, this is why all vehicle testing is primarily centered around letting grandmas take it for a sedate drive, that tells the engineers everything they need to know

Casual reminder of the looming Tesla strike in Sweden Quick overview quote:In response to this, IF Metall immediately expanded its strike notice to all repair shops that service Tesla vehicles in Sweden – not only Tesla’s own shops. An additional 470 workers in 16 cities will be affected in this next phase of the strike, starting on November 3rd. Even our “not a fascist, but friendly with fascists” PM is reminding Tesla of the labor laws here.

gschmidl posted:Someone I know is listening to the Rogan thing and apparently he and Musk are eating double-pineapple, double-anchovy pizza. drat it. Now I have the most minuscule portion of respect for them because pineapple and anchovy is actually a really good combination that cuts the salt of the anchovies and the sweetness of the pineapple to make a delicious pizza slice.

I don't know if it's sadder if he expects us to believe one of his kids thought that, or if they actually did. Claiming that you live in the future is for people who spent decades imagining what the 2020's would be like, not actual children.

Here's at least one source about said claim because I wanted to check for myself though I don't know why I actually doubted the possibility that Musk claimed something stupid. One of the many, many stupid things about this is that his idea of "future" isn't some universally agreed upon thing. It's a very specific and ugly cyperbunk aesthetic full of sharp angles and dark, boxy-looking poo poo that he likes personally, and it breaks my brain a little when I see his sycophants gushing about it.
