Sounds like a great way to fake your death. The only problem is that everyone will think you died driving a Tesla.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Good point. Back to the drawing board.

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No one's going to believe a drawing board disappeared a body.

[-] L0rdMathias@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Ehhh, you'd be surprised what the modern drawing board can do.

It... also costs ~~100k~~

Edit: sorry, sorry, 70k — much better

I mean if you're faking your death I don't think you're planning on paying off the loan

He says the trucks are “apocalypse-proof” and claims they can withstand bullets and have “armor glass” windows.

They also withstand emergency responders and the occupant's attempts to escape.

Chances of you experiencing the apocalypse - Zero

Chances you will get trapped in an Cybercuck and be unable to get out - Not zero

He meant apocalypse proof from the INSIDE, duh ! If all hell breaks loose inside, it won't get out, and neither will you !

Fires that entrap passengers are a well-documented and recurring problem with every model in Tesla’s lineup of vehicles, but Cybertrucks appear to have a disproportionate number of known deaths. Safety experts have told the Guardian that the truck’s unique design amplifies the deadly issue. The vehicles come with high-density laminated windows that are harder to break than regular car windows, making escape and rescue difficult when doors won’t unlock. And the trucks are built with materials not commonly used in the industry, like stainless steel, which can complicate the work of emergency responders. The Cybertruck is also the first Tesla model to entirely eliminate door handles on the outside of the vehicle.

First, "unique" design? It's an ugly callback to the wedge-shaped cars of the 80s. It looks like a DeLorean model that refused to render properly, and the dev just went with it.

Second, the decision to exclude door handles is fucking mental. It's a mundane feature that cars have had since the Model T. If they wanted to make a pickup, its handles should resemble those found on a typical pickup. If it's "aesthetics" they're after (which shouldn't matter when it comes to a pickup), some of the best looking cars have had no problem including door handles into its design.

The reason to eliminate door handles that Tesla and others typically give is aerodynamic efficiency. Granted there are other bigger aerodynamic problems. gestures at the rest of the fucking truck

Cybertrucks are 17 times more likely to kill you in a fiery way than the Ford Pinto, the previous record holder.

FFS, design standards exist for a reason. Quit trying to reinvent the wheel, or car doors as it is here.

[-] cranakis@reddthat.com 12 points 1 month ago

How in the fuck did a truck without a manual override for exiting the vehicle ever make it to market? Everything is broken.

I can’t fathom having my husband burn to death so badly that he’s just .. evaporated. But then again I can’t imagine my husband ever wanting a cybercuck so there’s also that.

[-] 1995ToyotaCorolla@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

My wife and I are in need of a truck since we moved to a rural area and need one for stuff like trash disposal and whatnot. We've decided to get something practical like a hundai santafe or honda ridgeline

Cremation is a new feature. It'll be an extra $2500 and comes with a decision engine on whether you should live or die (door unlocking). Tesla knows, trust Elon.

Well, see, that's what you get for being a poor.

Solution is simple, you must buy the optional $700 Cyberhammer to bash out the glass (not a joke, there really is a cyber hammer for $700).

Elon's got it all figured out, 8D chess losers

You have 30 minutes to collect your ash

This honestly seems like the most practical outcome. It solves the problem. It’s not like they have family that are gonna care for these fucking Nazis when they’re dead. Turn them to ash and throw them in the junkyard with the car.

Damn near 100% of the owners. The Nazimobiles came out after Elon needed all that Saudi money to get him out of the hole he dug saying he'd buy Twitter and in turn started amplifying chud propaganda on Twitter at their request. Anyone with a preorder had an opportunity to cancel and get their money back to not support a fascist. Fuck 'em. Let them eat fire.
