The Tesla Cybertruck isn’t living up to expectations
Comments
With all the fantastic press it’s gotten in 2024 I’m sure 2025 will be the Cybertruck’s year!
But then it very much wasn't
I did not expect someone to be a suicide bomber and the response to be, en masse, "was that on purpose or is this one of the normal cybertruck explosions"
But it’s in no way suitable to be driven on a real road, the sharp angles are just gonna cause worse injuries if it hits a pedestrian, and the lack of crumple zones means in a serious accident the energy will be directed at the squishy people inside
But it’s just not a good road vehicle
It’s a concept car, that you show off at a few shows and then release something that is more practical a road legal a few years later
You would absolutely be caught dead in one of his cars in an emergency😬
Halo CE warthog with all of the best parts stripped away. Yeah it sucks.
It is.
Now all ct news look GREAT!
On a quick search Lambo's tend to be around 6k lbs GVWR, which can be a light duty car, depending on other features.
Bloody awful.
The truck is not cheap - they aren't even a good investment.
Yeah” they catch on fire and lose control - even 💥 explode 💣
There was a certain group of Masters of the Universe in the ‘80s who were just complete douche canoes and they all drive BMWs.
They also parked in two spaces and couldn’t use a turn signal.
And I still don’t know if BMW drivers are hopeless or if the indicators just don’t work 🤷♀️
(Ducks)
Particularly in comparison to other pickups which just look like utter garbage
It's still too big and too high
I can't speak for the practicalities of course, I've never been in one and I don't plan to because elon
* Looks normal
* Is a truck (if you need that)
* Isn't made by crazy people
The cybertruck belongs anywhere else but on earth
Until you see one in person you can’t really appreciate how comically stupid they are!
Ugh.
But they were warned. Repeatedly. At some point you just have to shake your head and walk away.
And to nobody's surprise.... lol...
That's just pathetic.
Divested Tesla stock completely & left X for bluer pastures.
Am I the only one? #Tesla
Fuck-America-Up Elmo thinks he's Delos D. Harriman & John Galt rolled into one pudgy, pot-smoking jumping jack when he's the guy they HATE!
WTF that thing Musk presented is? Isn't that at all....
Did Elmo design this HIMSELF? It looks like a pickup a self-described "genius Sci-Fi fan" would make....
(They said 'no batteries.' They did not say 'no noise'. This is why I'm their favorite uncle.)
Nothing Edolf does is living up to any expectations.
This is a gargantuan, WHOPPER, of an understatement, regarding the Cyberturd. 😂😂
*second ugliest modern vehicle IMO.
It was planned for low production but was an unexpected hit. They overestimated Americans’ taste apparently.
I hope I live to see the last PT Cruiser go to the shredder though.
It’s developed some good tech, and has the patents to protect it
Why it’s not allowed itself to be acquired by a traditional manufacturer for those patents surprises me
They didn’t ignore the segment completely, seems like some Japanese automakers were even worse on this.
from there, Elon will tell himself whatever he needs to dub it a success
Oh, you said a load of hay. Sorry, my bad 😬
I wonder if he fired that guy
PlutoCART.
Because JUST WHY
Personally, I'd be happy with a cheap Kei-truck BEV or even a Maverick EV.
