Ever see those videos of cows who've never been on grass before and finally get to? This is like that only sadder.

As rugged as a golf cart.

they look like airport luggage carts covered in cardboard for a cheap sci-fi dystopian B-movie

greyboar.bsky.social•107 days ago

If they armor them. But they still can get taken out with water balloons. What use are they?

They look so cute, I’m losing my mind — frolicking around in a meadow like excited puppies —

The equivalent of kids on the bunny slopes going "Mommy, daddy, look! I'm a skier!" Except those kids could get better!

This is why he's getting a fraudulent military contract to buy a bunch of them.

finalremix.bsky.social•107 days ago

They've got fields of them, abandoned and rusting. Gotta move product *somehow*. Buying and overthrowing a government to move these trash swastikars is a valid business approach, I guess.

thewesterhazys.bsky.social•107 days ago

The ones in the back look like they are struggling a bit.

victoriangothic.bsky.social•107 days ago

“Off-roading” on what looks like a well-maintained park? Back yard?

billcorbett.bsky.social•107 days ago

It’s absurd!

nschornhorst.bsky.social•107 days ago

I'd rather have this car any day over anything by Musk Rat.

pills-here.bsky.social•107 days ago

Shocked that these scholars and paragons of virtue would try to sell trashy fire hazards.

indianasolo.bsky.social•107 days ago

The Satellite Of Love could do that blindfolded.

rigor-motorist.bsky.social•107 days ago

This demonstration clearly shows that under the most controlled, featureless, and simple terrain the Cybertruck can successfully meander at sub-minimal speeds without suffering major systems failures or chassis fracture. Truly a victory of Tesla engineering.

charliebe82.bsky.social•107 days ago

I can say with confidence that whomever designed that vehicle was a HUGE fan of the "Back to the Future" movie franchise.

sirthoreth.bsky.social•107 days ago

I've off-roaded harder than that in a lowered '66 Bug.

mrnintendotapes.bsky.social•107 days ago

the gentlest truck on the green

brentcaudill.bsky.social•107 days ago

Pretty sure a Pinto can do this, and with a lower chance of bursting into flames.

seveninbttm.bsky.social•107 days ago

They should be at all the parcs. Dumpsters on wheels, what a concept

silaskaiser117.bsky.social•107 days ago

I drive my Kia Soul faster than this through an unpaved lot that looks like the Somme on a daily basis just to reach my company van.

plicketyplunk.bsky.social•107 days ago

Trump will be using one as a golf cart.

capnshores.bsky.social•107 days ago

There are cars that were built more than a HUNDRED YEARS AGO that are stronger than Tesla trucks.

shawgab.bsky.social•107 days ago

I’ve seen wilder terrain on a cricket pitch

jamesmcorlett.bsky.social•107 days ago

I mean the video's only about 20 seconds long. We don't know for sure that they didn't all immediately explode after this.

ranpuma.bsky.social•107 days ago

mofromtheo.bsky.social•107 days ago

Lol. Yea. My Prius can what their ‘trucks’ are doing there.

krista42.bsky.social•107 days ago

Those things are even dumber looking than the defective who designed them...

futuristic-hexagon.bsky.social•107 days ago

A Velorex is more of an off road vehicle than the Muskovite's attempt at making a turretless Sd. Kfz. 234 that's missing 2 axles.

gamesophist.bsky.social•107 days ago

But, but, but ... look! No road!

I'ma destroy them in Fortnite every time.

louminati.bsky.social•107 days ago

They totally crushed those dandelions.

bludragonz11.bsky.social•107 days ago

Ah, it's SUBURBAN off-roading, i.e. off of the asphalt 🤣

stevenmoore722.bsky.social•107 days ago

I could handle rougher terrain in my old Pontiac Aztec and it was at least as ugly.

dimensiot.bsky.social•107 days ago

I can handle rougher terrain in my Honda Civic.

jenmmost.bsky.social•107 days ago

Damn, that is one ugly vehicle.

drneocortex.bsky.social•107 days ago

As powerful as the average golf cart. Astounding!

ripmcstudly.bsky.social•107 days ago

I do this with my Kia Soul every time I attend a function at my kid’s elementary school.

lecarpetron.bsky.social•107 days ago

Pretty expensive golf carts.

lizmiserables00.bsky.social•107 days ago

I took a ride in one - not by choice. I ordered an Uber and this is what showed up. Guess what. The guy driving it was a dick. Shocking, huh?

thereeljon.mov•107 days ago

Cool. Now do it in the rain.

jenny-isme.bsky.social•107 days ago

Using this logic we are reclassifying my nana’s wheelchair as an all terrain vehicle— and it could still beat a dumpster truck in an off road race.

mrtrobot.bsky.social•107 days ago

Like a Rock!

sanguinepar.bsky.social•107 days ago

I literally 2 hours ago was driving on steeper, muddier terrain than that, in a Ford Focus.

Do they seriously think that looks impressive?

nasicournus.bsky.social•107 days ago

They look so peaceful when they're grazing

keithjpowell.com•107 days ago

I feel so owned.

thelibbiegrant.bsky.social•107 days ago

Wow, incredible off-roading on that nice flat surface

trabsolutely.bsky.social•107 days ago

Rolling up the the u-pick berry farm with the confidence of a man who can park in the makeshift primary parking lot and not on the street this year.

snoogooz.bsky.social•107 days ago

Putting them on grass makes them look like cockroaches

goobissrex.bsky.social•107 days ago

"Let's make it look like synchronized swimming!" They said.

slithergaunt.bsky.social•107 days ago

The only major automobile on the market created during an "At Your Fingertips" short 👍

theaggrocraigg.bsky.social•107 days ago

I’m imagining this video with “Hair of the Dog” by Nazareth playing over it and giggling 🤭

hailmarxandlennon.bsky.social•107 days ago

Works with Slow Ride, too.

frittitailchaser.bsky.social•107 days ago

I can't wait till actually applied military feedback comes roaring back through those channels lol. There's going to be so many stuck and pissed off soldiers. They're going to regret this on so many levels.

capnshores.bsky.social•107 days ago

That is, of course, if they can get OUT of the trucks due to the locks and the unbreakable windows.

victoria-d.bsky.social•107 days ago

Especially when panels fall off, the suspension breaks going over a mild bump and the frame cracks pulling anything bigger than a radio flyer.

eholmes76.bsky.social•107 days ago

Especially during winter

blackmyron.bsky.social•107 days ago

This smacks of being made in-house by giving it to a low-level employee with the instruction "Show our cybertrucks doing wild off-roading but if any of them get damaged, you're fired"

elizabethsterling.bsky.social•107 days ago

Like all great movies there are layers to this masterpiece of self-parody. Notice, for example, how the first shot of the weird cow truck gingerly mounting the grass verge cuts away just a fraction of a second too late to hide the fact the underbody clearly grounded out.

crash006.bsky.social•107 days ago

Cool. My VW Jetta can drive around slowly on a flat field in a park too.

jenmmost.bsky.social•107 days ago

Always liked the Jetta.

rolandguiscard.bsky.social•107 days ago

My car can do this.

My car cost, new, less than this Cybertruck's windshield.

phoenixrising1122.bsky.social•107 days ago

They look like cockroaches 🤢

victoria-d.bsky.social•107 days ago

Wow. Amazing.

goldenloki.bsky.social•107 days ago

That was worse than a crew of Shriners driving their dumb little cars in a parade!

greenzo99.bsky.social•107 days ago

We need a #bostonteslaparty

checkthatout.bsky.social•107 days ago

The Boston harbor would never recover from the resulting ecological disaster dumping that toxic garbage into it would cause

greenzo99.bsky.social•107 days ago

Indeed. It’s more of a call to action than a literal re-creation. But they are toxic

goldenloki.bsky.social•107 days ago

I read that as BostonTeaSlapParty, and now I want to plan one on the same day as your event!

tea-time-t.bsky.social•107 days ago

Lets be fair, a golf course is as rugged a landscape as any of these people normally experience.

sethmurray.bsky.social•107 days ago

Sweet baby jesus, that’s overflow parking for the damn Ren fair. Anybody can drive on that. A fat guy in a worn out golf cart goes out there to take people to their cars.
