When you're not driving it, you can wear it like a mech. It all happens on X.

can you plug in knockoff gaming controllers to steer it when it goes into "submersible mode"?

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 41 points 11 months ago

And when it starts to implode disable wifi so you can't call out for help.

oops the black box deleted the data!

I hope this one also has a specific billionaire inside it when that happens

[-] Deadend@hexbear.net 24 points 11 months ago

I’m fine with any billionaire.

I wouldn't complain but I'd really like to know elon got compressed

Elon doesn't drive a tesla

Even better, as it starts to implode, water + electronics = malfunctioning car AI that locks you in the car, which then has a battery fire.

While underwater.

Do you drown or burn to death first?

Oh well its all worth it because you can change the horn to a fart noise.

Elon truly is a genius.

EDIT: Upon further review, the judges on the field have identified two other possible causes of death:

The ABSURDLY toxic and poisonous fumes from the LiOn battery may actually asphyxiate/blood poison you to death as you are enclosed in a steel box underwater

AND

Fucking DUH you may also just be electrocuted to death.

So we now have 4 horrible, actually pretty fast acting processes that could cumulatively kill you, or maybe one would kill you first.

I propose we get Adam Savage to do a one off MythBusters christmas special, and the role of test dummy will be played by Mr 420 Dogecoin himself.

Gotta lead from the front.

If the CyberTruck is not WiiMote compatible I will sue!

"We're almost done making this car a boat, just need to keep it from leaking everywhere constantly"

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago

I feel like buoyancy control is also an issue. And propelling options. Like a boat floats, a car needs traction with the ground. These two things don't work together.

Elon encouraging people to drive their poor quality Teslas into the ocean is going to be the greatest thing he's ever done.

finally, all the batteries in electric vehicles will end up where they belong

He did actually already say that he was going to make his cars have pressurized air thrusters that would enable them to fly.

Tens of millions of people took this idea seriously.

  • Attempt to ~~Ford~~ Tesla the river
  • Caulk the Cybertruck and float it
  • Take a ferry for $5.00

you gave me a dumb idea for a gif

[-] Poison_Ivy@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago

This is especially hilarious considering that the LA River during the summer is basically a trickle but every winter it basically is inches away from wiping out Compton and the Gateway Cities, and I know that the stupid Cybertruck would blow up in both cases.

how many big beautiful boaters is this gonna kill?

[-] vexikron@lemmy.zip 10 points 11 months ago

You know, I guess a meetup of Aquatic CyberTrucks all colliding together and sinking would be even funnier than the Trump flotillas that did as much a few years ago.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago

I'm gonna go full nerd-glasses-emoji here:
The cybertruck cannot become a boat. Basically a boat is, according to maritime law, "any vessel used for navigation on the waters" whereas "navigation" requires that the vessel must be able to be steered and has a method of propulsion. Example: A canoo is a boat - It is propelled by physical force and steered the same way; A PAX-shipper is also a boat.
The cybertruck propels itself by way of creating traction on the road. It does not have traction when it floats, it therefore cannot ford water "as a boat".

QED: MR. MUSK YOU'RE FIRED SIR!!!

Ps. If he truly wants to be able to sell it as a "boat" then he need to install maritime signal lights too.

pps. I know he's just saying "oh it can float for a bit" and I'm being obtuse, but I am also having fun with it.

[-] Saeculum@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

Spinning wheels can propel a vehicle in the water, and adjusting the angle of those can help you steer. It will never be a good boat, but it could be a boat for a brief moment.

[-] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago

At this point I think he's just high

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Hey Elon, you mist know a lot about engineering, right? How many of cars have you personally built Elon? How much engineering have you personally done? Huh, Elon? You must be qualified as an engineer at least, right?

[-] vexikron@lemmy.zip 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Hey now, he did actually design a uh...

Lets see.

Yep, only thing he actually designed was the charging port shape for the Teslas and charging stations.

Made some wires go into an arbitrary, proprietary plug shape.

[-] oregoncom@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago

I wish all cybertruck owners a very happy drown in a river.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago

What does that mean, 100m of water? Like it can go a hundred meters out onto a like before sinking? Is it a submarine with a max depth of a hundred meters? What the fuck does this meanrage-cry

[-] Grebgreb@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago
[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago

If that m means meters there's a lot of people whonare going to float down rivers because they don't get trig.

[-] envis10n@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

How someone can feel so entitled and desperate for attention and post the dumbest fucking marketing bs about products they won't actually make, especially to somehow "improve" a product they did make that sucks ass, is beyond me.

Sorry about this word vomit, I'm high af

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 24 points 11 months ago

Don't waste good drugs thinking about Elon. Watch videos of sea otters instead. They're such cute little rascals and you can watch them open clams on their tummies.

I heard you can use it as a submarine, just make sure the windows are closed

Isn't the quality control, specifically the way things line up, an actual huge problem with Teslas? Would never trust one of these things in water lmao
