From the damage present in the picture, it almost looks like they tried to drive it.

[-] Hubi@feddit.org 97 points 3 months ago

Can't be, driving it voids the warranty

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

Buying probably voids the warranty

Was it left outside in the rain?

[-] Zier@fedia.io 49 points 3 months ago

I think they tried to drive it through a car wash and it started on fire.

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 17 points 3 months ago

There is the problem, you're not supposed to drive them

It was once a flaming pile of garbage!

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 47 points 3 months ago

a dumpster fire

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Before that a rolling pile of garbage.

[-] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

And unlike the Millennium Falcon, the garbage will not do.

Yikes. Appears that this one might have caught fire?

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 39 points 3 months ago

I looks like there was fire, but it doesn't look like it came from where the battery is. The battery runs from front to back on the bottom of the vehicle. This looks like the fire was only at the front. So perhaps whatever was impacted caught on fire but the battery never ignited perhaps?

I've seen two in person (possible, same one just twice). It was bigger and dumber looking than I thought it would be. The style contrasts with literally everything around it. In every possible way, it looks unfinished in a way no video or photo ever conveyed.

I've finally started seeing some in my city over the last week or so. They are just so goddamn big and awkward looking. They really look like someone put dumpster on wheels. I honestly find them pretty jarring to see out on the road.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

Reminds me, it's my first day back teaching classes and the usual cyber truck I see on the commute is gone. Students and I used to make fun of it before class, I wonder what happened to it...

Tow driver: Damn this thing looks like it went through the Iraq war.

Owner: I've had it for three weeks.

(Salesman) You can fit so many fingers in this here trunk! bangs metal

metal dents as if it were one of those disposable aluminum cooking pans you get at thanksgiving at the grocery store if you don’t have generational wealth

[-] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 27 points 3 months ago

Just saw one of these for the first time this past weekend on a road trip to Chicago. It was so much bigger and somehow even more shitty-looking than I expected.

That's in pretty decent shape, actually. The metal is usually more rusted, especially if they tried to wash it in a car wash.

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

I hate this truck as much as the next guy but, isn't this what any and every car looks like after a fire?

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 27 points 3 months ago

It's... 1 year old. You don't often find so many reports, news stories, and images of a brand-new $80,000+ vehicle deteriorated or self-immolated a single year later.

[-] deranger@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 months ago

I try not to go to Reddit so much, but the CyberStuck sub is pretty good and not replicated elsewhere. There are so many problems with these vehicles it’s astonishing. They aren’t nearly as capable as they were touted to be, either.

The aftermath of a dumpster fire

In its natural environment.

I saw one for the first time last week. It had like a weird brownish tint to it, I'm not sure if that was the lighting or metal discoloration or what but they are ugly AF in person.

[-] Zron@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

I love around Chicago.

Can’t wait to see what all the salt on the streets does to these things over the winter.

[-] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 months ago

I love around Chicago.

Be sure to use protection.

There's one I see around town often enough. I was parked at a red light next to it the other day and it was remarkable how shitty the panels look up close. They're not really flat and planar. They're sort of wobbly like corrugated tin.

For those of you that can not see it immediately, look more carefully at the dripping at the top of the tire, the deformation at the middle of the side skirt trim, and the darkness on the inside of the glass, not to mention the view inside the broken glass.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 months ago

Can't see what, the fire damage?

[-] zcd@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 months ago

What a complete sack of shit

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 32 points 3 months ago

I’m sorry but you’re wrong.

It’s a box of shit.

I've seen one nearby and every time I've seen it I've been like "found the dumbass"

My son LOVES Cybertrucks.

He's 7 though, so I imagine not the market Musk was targeting

I’ve only seen one and was shocked at how much worse it looks in person.

That’s about what they look like from the factory!

[-] something_random_tho@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Wow, that Cybertruck is holding up great! Looks like the flames were limited to the front quarter, and the seats haven't rusted through the base of the car, yet. That's better than most!

[-] smokebuddy@lemmy.today 10 points 3 months ago

there is a hotwheels r/c version of the cybertruck I wanted to buy for memes, but so many reviews said it would burn out the first day you play with it... I should have bought one for the content (the price got jacked up)

I like to say they look like if a regular vehicle had a full diaper.

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

That looks badass! They lowered it! Can it jump?

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

They drove it over the curb, through a fence, across a golf course, and into the water hazard by the 12th hole.

Nah I'm just kidding. It just hit a speed bump at 15 mph in a light rain.
