This shit's real?

I guess this shit had to happen at some point to those things.

kgalaxia.bsky.social•53 days ago

It looks like a Aqua Teen ass explosion it's fucking making me giggle each time I see it

voicesbyzane.bsky.social•53 days ago

*master shake throws literally any object on the ground*:

Zane I'm back at my computer finally. I did it.

"WHERE IS MY FRIGGIN CYBUHTRUCK"

sleepbrickman.bsky.social•52 days ago

Oh god I just realized Shake would 100% buy the truck, not be able to fit in it, get mad, & crash it purely to spite frylock’s “I told you so” maybe tell meatwad to lick the rims (electricity runs through them during charging iirc), & brag to Carl about how he’s environmentally conscious.

sleepbrickman.bsky.social•52 days ago

That or one of these fuckers would scam shake into buying it off of them (or the other way around) because any party doesn’t want it anymore.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

herotoxiko.bsky.social•53 days ago

like an acme cartoon bomb amazing.

lionessindc.bsky.social•53 days ago

You win the internet today. Best fucking take on the video. Laughing so hard. It _does_ look like an ACME cartoon exposition.

mayoraponte.bsky.social•53 days ago

This is a GTA tier explosion, like damn that thing exploded good.

voicesbyzane.bsky.social•53 days ago

Genuinely hilarious that I legit can't tell what here is deliberate and what here is a cybertruck Just Doing That because these cars are just THAT terrible.

voicesbyzane.bsky.social•53 days ago

My money is on "dipshit bought a whole bunch of fireworks in Vegas and the cybertruck caught fire."

themichaelest.bsky.social•53 days ago

He's at a hotel so "guy from out of from out of town who bought an ass ton of fireworks to take back to a state where they're illegal" is pretty big possibility. I've done it myself. But I was in a normal car.

voicesbyzane.bsky.social•53 days ago

God what a beautiful way to start this stupid stupid year

jawaddles.bsky.social•53 days ago

If it's not poetry, I don't know what is.

willgreenwald.bsky.social•53 days ago

Bonus round: That's the city that has Musk's subway-but-worse Loop with Teslas driving around cramped tunnels. And I'm going to be there next week for a huge electronics trade show!

You couldn't pay me to take the Loop around there.

rewhan.bsky.social•53 days ago

I don't believe in omens.

HOWEVER-

vezanmatics.newgrounds.com•53 days ago

This is some kind of good omen for sure

jametc.bsky.social•53 days ago

Mmmm foreshadowing

therottenking.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yea I'm no expert at explosions but the patterns of smoke and sparks at the end look a *lot* like fireworks going off

robinbrenizer.bsky.social•53 days ago

The sound was definitely fireworks

screemonster.bsky.social•53 days ago

buying a whole bunch of gunpowder and leaving it in a stainless steel box in direct sunlight in nevada definitely sounds like a cybertruck owner thing to do

robinbrenizer.bsky.social•53 days ago

This feels correct

robosad.bsky.social•53 days ago

It quite literally could be both. Like, maybe they can Just Do That, and some guy found a way to make that happen on command. It could be that someone planted a bomb, it could be that the cybertruck simply decided today's the day, or it could be someone kicked it in the right place. Who Knows!

juneau96.bsky.social•53 days ago

the fact that it KEEPS EXPLODING for like five seconds is so fucking funny. gmod ass vehicle

windlass.bsky.social•53 days ago

This feels like a prophetic microcosm of things to come.

shnikkles.bsky.social•53 days ago

Did they have…fireworks???

sqlnotsql.bsky.social•53 days ago

Waiting for the Reddit post, "My Cubertruck exploded, best car I've ever owned, Elon can I get a replacement?"

arcmage.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yes, it was filled with fireworks and propane tanks and intentionally detonated.

musicboxopera.bsky.social•53 days ago

Cybertrucks do this when they're stressed.

badluckcrow.bsky.social•53 days ago

I choose to take this as a visual metaphor for Musk and Trump's deteriorating relationship in the near future.

pcaldora.bsky.social•53 days ago

GTAVI is looking fucking sick bruh

punkmcfox.bsky.social•53 days ago

It does appear to have been filled to the brim with fireworks considering the sparks. Either the guy just forgot to bring them to the party or this was deliberate.

aceybaby.bsky.social•52 days ago

It honestly looks like water got into the battery either Tesla fucked up and sent it out with a horrible housing that broke, or the customer got it damaged some how which after a car wash or water spill caused this. Look at Nilered's youtube short and you'll see a similar small scale explosion.

emloaf.bsky.social•53 days ago

My best guess is they were carrying leftover new years fireworks and the shitbox ignited and set them off

southpawcat.bsky.social•53 days ago

Lithium can just Explode Like That which is weird since now the FBI apparently thinks this was intentional?

kennady.bsky.social•53 days ago

No literally same! when people say ‘a car blew up’ it’s never like the movies so I thought they were being dramatic - this is, in fact, way bigger than the fuckin movies

psudonym.bsky.social•53 days ago

I hope that random guy is okay...

voicesbyzane.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yeah me too. When I saw him cleaning the glass I was like "oh noooo buddy get out of there"

psudonym.bsky.social•53 days ago

Oh I meant the guy on the right waiting with his bags. I think I see him running away, though.

I dislike that we just have these time bombs driving around the roads now...

voicesbyzane.bsky.social•53 days ago

Jesus I didn't even notice that guy. Fucking hell.

psudonym.bsky.social•53 days ago

Oh nevermind, I guess I saw a different clip? I remember seeing clearly a guy was waiting with those bags. Still hope everyone's okay...

misternohair.bsky.social•53 days ago

From the cursory googling I did, 7 are injured but the only death is the driver

veejay.bsky.social•53 days ago

https://abc7.com/post/trump-tower-fire-police-investigating-vehicle-explosion-las-vegas-nevada-hotel-driver-dead/15737979/

He's probably fine, apparently the 7 people near that explosion only got slightly injured. The driver is the only casualty.

psudonym.bsky.social•53 days ago

That still sucks but thank you for checking for me.

tukenfarben.bsky.social•53 days ago

"A Tesla blew up" is too casual for this event.

This Cybertruck SPONTANEOUSLY DETONATED.

jonnyjonman.bsky.social•53 days ago

you remember when cyberpunk was still a buggy mess and the cars used to randomly blow up?

polearmguy.bsky.social•53 days ago

10/10 they shouldn't have patched that

sleepbrickman.bsky.social•52 days ago

Could explain it away as “guy pissed off a gang so they set a car bomb” and not fix it. Just make it less frequent. Or more. Idk.

jonnyjonman.bsky.social•52 days ago

they pretty much did and its a random encounter

argonianmage.bsky.social•52 days ago

I love how all the panels fall off a full second before the explosion.

eclectictastessa.bsky.social•53 days ago

Not only do they look like they came from a low-poly late-nineties video game, they explode like it, too.

getgianni.com•53 days ago

This is like a clip from Hardcore Henry

minawoods.bsky.social•52 days ago

God that movie fucked.

argonianmage.bsky.social•52 days ago

I still need to watch it

rabidwolfdemon.bsky.social•53 days ago

wtf, is this a real video? No effects? When I hear a car "blows up" at most I think maybe one big-ish boom and then a fire. This I thought the cybertruck just combusted, not became a whole ass firework

amtrax.bsky.social•53 days ago

Were they a smuggling a fuckton of fireworks or do they just blow up that fucking spectacularly?

olmofojones.bsky.social•53 days ago

That's the beauty of it: it could be either or both!

rabidwolfdemon.bsky.social•53 days ago

I would guess this was a fuckton of fireworks, because it clearly originates from within the bed, but I also don't know what goes where in the internals of a cybertruck, so maybe there's lithium under the bedliner or something?
