How 'bout them hawks news huh!
Still can’t get over how the Cybertruck looks like a video game car that hasn’t rendered in properly.

This snipe isn’t as bad as Elon Musk but not for lack of trying!

That part in RoboCop where the guy gets soaked in toxic waste and then explodes when Kurtwood Smith drives a car into him is the greatest scene in cinema.

Actually the greatest scene in cinema Is the fist fight in They Live between Roddy Piper and Keith David in that alleyway where he's trying to force him to wear sunglasses

Assuming the camry had enough ground clearance, kind of hard to say from the video, I think it would struggle significantly less. It's much MUCH lighter, and yes it's front wheel drive but I don't think it would have too much trouble. I've driven a similar car, a 90s Honda Accord, up a steep driveway covered in snow and it did fine.

I've got an AWD Acura that's twenty years old and has zero modifications. It would breeze over that obstacle without pause. Like literally zero issues

It’s just a weird coincidence that the only test footage we’ve ever seen of cybertrucks is from testing the “go extremely slow and clumsily” functionality

It's about as resistant to rifle bullets as the cybertruck. And the windows are probably stronger.

I remember how my great-uncle Jerry would sit on the porch and whittle all day long. Once he whittled me a toy boat out of a larger toy boat I had. It was almost as good as the first one, except now it had bumpy whittle marks all over it. And no paint, because he had whittled off the paint.

The whole... just everything about this is so dumb. The people who are going to buy this car do not go off road and will not use it as a work vehicle so the lol X marketing is completely wrong. The people who buy this just want to show it off. There is nothing about this thing that is super innovative or groundbreaking.

They don't go offroading or use it as a work truck but they very much theoretically want to be able to, same as every oversized truck that only exists to be shown off. The fiction about being a real working man is in fact what they're trying to show off

That's basically Tesla design in a nutshell. They're designed for maximum show-off-ability first and actually being a good, safe, useful car last.
