Lara Croft’s boobs had more curves in 1996

How is this news. A car can be towed for several reasons other than mechanical problems.

[-] carpelbridgesyndrome@sh.itjust.works 55 points 11 months ago

It's not out yet and it's already been illegally parked

[-] Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Yeah my first thought is if it's not for sale yet, then maybe this isn't a mechanical failure

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

As it's not released, it's probably illegal (contractually) to drive it on a public road. This is likely more akin to seeing tech writers with unreleased hardware.

[-] Aliendelarge@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Reading the article would indicate the truck was towed for being parked illegally.

I’d’ve thought that’d be self evident.

[-] Psiczar@aussie.zone 40 points 11 months ago

This car reminds me so much of the one designed by Homer Simpson. Even Cybertruck as a model name makes me cringe, and this is coming from someone who quite likes the existing Tesla models.

[-] Red_October@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

It looks like someone drew the outline for it in crayon on a napkin, then demanded it be put into production.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

More like some one stole from the set of some junky 80’s sci-fi action flick. damnation alley or maybe tango and cash…

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

It's very reminiscent of the "future cars" in Back to the Future 2

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, but, I actually like BTTF2, so I wasn’t gonna go there.

A stupid truck deserves a stupid headline, I guess?

[-] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

It doesn't even deserve an article.

[-] Crow@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

I hate that I like the look of this truck. I hate everything else about it, and want to be fully on board with the hate train having fun poking at this monstrosity, but I just can’t help but have some shit taste when it comes to the look of trucks…

[-] vanontom@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

Maybe the concept. Or edited photos from far away. Take a realistic, close-up look, and prepare to be disappointed. And the steel seems about as "fun" to take care of as a boat.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I mean, if there goal was to recreate some 90’s era video game graphics for nostolgia. Megarace, maybe.

[-] RushingSquirrel@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

At least it's different. I can't tell one truck from another. GMC, Ford, Ram, Chevrolet, they look exactly the same.

And why do you want to join a hate train? Love trains are better ❤️

Why is this car rendered in such bad quality?

[-] rifugee@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

It just occurred to me that these things look sort of like the Zumwalt class stealth destroyers. Has anyone tested this thing against police radar guns? I mean it's still ugly as hell, but if it's harder for the cops to bust you for speeding...

[-] cynar@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

The front is flat. It will be a perfect mirror for the radar. If anything it will be easier to lock on to.

[-] stopthatgirl7@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

I really don't understand why Musk insisted on bringing what should have been just a concept vehicle to market.

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

People put down money for it years ago.

[-] stopthatgirl7@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

Which Tesla never should have done. It should have always been just a proof of concept at best.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Pretty sure Tesla needed the cash flow from pre-orders.

[-] Hippopotamus@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

Free advertising

The Cybertruck reminds me of this but worse.
