"Wait a minute, Doc: are you telling me you built a time machine - out of a Cybertruck?!"
The cybertrucks been a bust since the metal ball broke the window.
I wonder, when they hit 88 Mph, does on transport back in time to apartheid South Africa?
If it's a bust, then why do I see them fucking everywhere? They're as common as any other vehicle model on the road.
Flip them off, my friend. Watch them vanish.
I already do every single time I see one. It's not working.
me driving my shitbox around and I see a cybertruck
I drive a '96 Jeep Cherokee and yeah, I do the same. Haha!
The media used to invent positive stories about Tesla, but now they are only looking for negative stories. For a stock whose entire value is based on a stock price supported by smoke and PR, that's a death sentence. Now that the bubble has popped, it will never re-inflate. Now Tesla has to fly based on the actual performance of its products, it's company, and it's leadership, which is abysmal on all counts. It will never return to its former glory, and will continue to slide as each quarterly earnings report gets worse and worse.
I give Tesla 2 years before it declares bankruptcy.
Every time I see one I burst out laughing, they look so fucking stupid!
I think Musk drew this thing on the back of an envelope and forced it through to production against the protests and objections of everybody in Tesla. It sucks as a truck, it sucks as an EV, it costs way too much money, it's so dangerous that it is banned in most of the world, it's impractical, costly to repair, uninsurable and it falls to bits. It's no wonder the thing failed.
It’s the delorian of our time. Go ahead and use it for the remake of back to the future.
I think you're catching downvotes cause most people now think the DeLorean was cool because of the movies.
They don't realize it flopped due to being insanely heavy, overheating, and other mechanical problems. Really expensive, as well. Also, the whole thing with the owner being busted for a massive amount of cocaine.
The parallels are actually pretty funny and you're not wrong.
I remember watching the director commentary on the first movie and they made a joke about the 88 mph thing because the car could barely do it. If I recall the later car in the films was a Volvo underneath.
I didn't know that about the Volvo, that's pretty funny. Means it was cheaper and easier to do a body swap than try and keep one properly running. Maybe it was just that hard to get parts.
Marty even comments on the Doc's choice in the movie.
The only interesting parts are the steer by wire and the 48v system.
I took part in a team that reverse-engineered the cybertruck’s SBW system… let me just tell you, compared to european manufacturers of similar designs, the number of hardware safeguards present is about halved. Having looked at it, I’d never get behind a wheel of one.
And it’s really a matter of age. As components wear out, most SBW’s are designed to fall back into a “limp home” mode, where the car comes to as quick of a stop as possible while maintaining traffic safety, or the steering motor is at least partially controllable. Some manufacturers implement board-level redundancy, where the same motor is controlled by two functionally identical sides of the same board, so if one fails the other can take over.
With the tesla, at least as far as we could tell, if you lose SBW, you go into the wall.
take this with a grain of salt, as hardware reverse engineering tells you nothing about the software behind it.
This is the Zune of cars man. What an eyesore. Shows what Elon can make when he tries it on his own.
