“ Now, before Cybertruck haters say that the truck is doomed, it is quite normal for vehicles to break down during test programs. “

I like this part because while yes it’s normal for test mules to break down it’s definitely NOT something I’d expect of a vehicle that has gone years over its quoted development time. Given we’re like two years past the initial release date I’d expect all the test cars to be done at this point.

What a stupid fucking name. It sounds like a straight to video movie from 1998 starring Eric Roberts and Skeet Ulrich.

Cyber Truck!!

Have you seen what the owner has named his other companies/products? He's mentally stuck in his teen years

X Æ A-1 is a great kids name what are you talking about?

and plenty of teens never go through such extreme cringe even in their most difficult years.

X, Trucks and Rock 'n' Roll.

Minus the Rock 'n' Roll.

Truckla wins again.

With the Musk fandom moving further and further to the right in recent years, it seems this truck probably has a lot more commercial potential now than when it was first announced a hundred or so years ago. People are going to be driving around in overpriced electric trucks in order to "own the liberals".

Nah dude electric vehicles are turning the kids into gay Muslims so they would never drive one of those. Oil for life!

Just need to add a rolling coal option and they'll lap it up

That's a giant generator running constantly in the back.

Can't swap the bed, cant tow, cant get to bed from the side, cant get repair parts. its a terrible work vehicle.

[-] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

It's interesting because it's got great features for a range of uses however each of those uses it has major flaws that make it a horrible option.

Electric work vehicle would be great but the bed is super awkward and the general layout looks awkward

As an off-road sleeper it's extra solar panel option is great but it's so big the energy consumption makes it worthless

For general multi-,use it's storage isn't big enough to fill half the jobs and it's physically too large to be useful in half the jobs

Of course it will sell because people seem obsessed by buying the worst vehicle on the market but what can you do

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

it can tow 14,000 pounds.

[-] Blamemeta@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

With what range? Not useful if you cant even get across the city.

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

great question.

[-] Hyperreality@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Most trucks aren't used as work vehicles, so it's not as if that's relevant.

[-] Blamemeta@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but the guy I replied to was talking as potential for commercial work.

[-] Hyperreality@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I suspect that by 'commercial potential' they meant sales.

[-] const_void@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

No way rednecks will be switching to this stupid thing. It's not "manly" looking enough for those types.

[-] sab@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

What are crypto bros if not the rednecks of the internet?

[-] Blamemeta@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Rednecks are smarter

The wrap makes me smile. Everyone knows what the CT looks like. As soon as you see the general shape, yup, that's a Cybertruck. I guess now the point is to identify pictures of pre-production CTs vs. the final product.
