What a complete sack of shit
I’m sorry but you’re wrong.
It’s a box of shit.
They weren’t talking about the product…
The aftermath of a dumpster fire
Then for one day for no reason at all the cyber trucks rose up and…
Where’s the cuck it came with?!!
It comes with a cuck? Sign me up
I think that cuck’s name is Whistlin Diesel.
TIL about whistlin diesel
My son LOVES Cybertrucks.
He’s 7 though, so I imagine not the market Musk was targeting
You need to get him on Back to the Future. The OG Delorean is way superior.
Way ahead of you there, he loves himself a Delorian
Musk drew up the original sketch for the cyber truck on his notebook in class when he was 7.
It’s Cyber Fucked. 🤔
It came off the assembly line cyber fucked
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.
I love around Chicago.
Can’t wait to see what all the salt on the streets does to these things over the winter.
Likewise but I have yet to see one of these rust buggies in the wild. The rust will be absolutely hilarious though. I wonder how the wheel assemblies will handle the salt.
Considering how thin the control arms are for such a heavy vehicle, I think we’re gonna see a lot of 3 wheeled cyber trucks in the next 6 months.
I love around Chicago.
Be sure to use protection.
Chicago women are the best.
I see like 10 a day. I work in an enclave city for the uberrich where the average new home being built costs what I make in a century (and I make pretty good money money), so we’ve got lots of them.
I’ve seen a bunch getting paint jobs. The matte black ones look like what scifi Nazi gestapo would drive, but all of the paint jobs look better than the bare metal. There’s a brushed-gunmetal one that I think is a pretty attractive compared to the rest. The vehicle is still ugly, but it’s less-ugly with a good paint job.
What a pile of garbage.
It was once a flaming pile of garbage!
a dumpster fire
Before that a rolling pile of garbage.
She’s worth .5 of the original price. At most.
And unlike the Millennium Falcon, the garbage will not do.
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.
I wish I could go back to those days when these things were rare where I live.
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.
Can’t see what, the fire damage?
take a drive by the Tesla service center in Pensacola… you can see a bunch of them parked there.
Hah! First one I was over near Holt off I-10. Honestly, it seemed pretty cool, guy had some low-key black graphics on it. But after seeing the fail-train these things are, they can’t look cool to me anymore.
Also, I’m practical with my purchases, or try to be. I have a beat up 2004 F150 that actually runs, can get wet and hauls 5x what a Cybertruck can. I get buying stuff for the cool factor, but what’s the use case here?!
Yikes. Appears that this one might have caught fire?
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?
It’s impossible to tell from a single photo, but it looks like the fire was possibly localized to the wheel-well. I can’t think of anything that might ignite in there, though.
Brakes yo. They get HOT
on EVs as far as I understand the brakes are barely used due to regenerative braking, so they should not be running hot unless the car is being driven very hard.
This is generic knowledge and not necessarily applicable to the Cybertruck however.
Spot on if it has regen braking. I haven’t had to change brake discs/shoes for 5 years.
The system is only so useful and the cybertrucks absolutely have a hydrolic system with rotors and pads:

It’s
completely disabled“significantly limited” limited when towing.I never denied the presence of brakes, I just mean for regular driving they are barely used, mostly with hard braking.

the battery can provide the energy to start a fire somewhere else in the vehicle via short circuit connection
Tesla’s have a pyrofuse that blows on impact detection which disconnects the battery:
It works so well https://youtu.be/Dfx4JZiSeHI?si=AEEnZZWMChtV6vWo
Not sure what you’re expecting that fuse to do when the battery is on fire from crash damage?
Reaching a bit there, what’s located at the right/passenger side that would burn?
A Samsung tablet
The High Voltage battery has a pyrofuse that blows to isolate the battery in case of a crash.
Theoretically I guess the 12V system could short circuit, just like any other vehicle. Except there can’t be any gasoline spilled for a short to ignite.

And modern Tesla vehicles, like the Cybertruck don’t use a standard car lead acid car battery (which would have 48Ah or so). Instead they use a 16v small lithium battery (which has only 6.9Ah). Further, this battery system has short protection built into it with an auto resetting breaker.
So this battery, with its significantly less energy stored, has less chance of fire from a short than a standard car battery.
I hate this truck as much as the next guy but, isn’t this what any and every car looks like after a fire?
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.
You also don’t have a ton of idiots doing stupid things to make their vehicle have issues intentionally usually either.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of YouTube videos of people purposely putting the vehicle in extreme situations and situations it wasn’t intended for. Not to mention the ones just doing it because “Fuck Elon”, after paying $100k for the vehicle, because they’ll get the money back from YouTube ads on videos milking it as much as possible.
I’m not saying all the videos are that, many are legitimate reviews and tests. But a lot are also purposely trying to damage it.
EVs tend to look like
this after a battery fire, and the Cybertruck is easily the most hated vehicle ever made. I wouldn’t assume that this one caught itself on fire.Is there a reason the car looks like it’s giving up its physical body and becoming a spectral?
Water. Best way to put out an EV fire is to keep dousing it with water until it cools down enough to not be on fire.
I’m sorry, are you suggesting that people are spending 6 figures purchasing, then destroying these vehicles… as a meme??
No but could be a fire unrelated to the trucks electronics, or one that was well contained either by design or more likely a lucky accident
But yes I’ve also seen videos of people shooting at cybertrucks so who tf knows maybe???
In case you’re not being sarcastic, Whistlindiesel…
But they’ve also been the target of some vandalism.
Continue to stay away from youtube. It’s a dark place.
I think you replied to the wrong comment.
I figure if you’re not aware of the stupid “pranks” influencers are pulling on youtube, you just don’t visit, and that’s probably in your best interest.
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.
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!
Was it left outside in the rain?
Nah, it was just a late summer day with middling humidity
I think they tried to drive it through a car wash and it started on fire.
There is the problem, you’re not supposed to drive them
