The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money::Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money.
Because everything musk does is basically bullshit.
- $30k Tesla
- Tesla semi
- Cybertuck 4 years late
- Full autonomous driving
- Hyperloop
Great website. Dude is a total fraud.
I just found a new favorite website.
wow we found someone who WANTS more Musk spam…
I mean I don’t care to be honest. If I see something about Elon, it doesn’t mean I have to look at it.
Who would have thought making a chassis out of a material that is denser than mild steel would result in a vehicle that is heavier? It’s a truck, horrible aero drag and rolling resistance from the get go. Difficult to imagine a worse target for an EV project.
The fact that he has all of his engineers afraid to tell him his ideas are terrible speaks volumes about his narcissism.
The ones who spoke up were fired. The ones remaining dont care as long as they get their paycheck.
A description of every Elon business
Part of the reason why I don’t leave where I work now. I speak my mind.
Every day with the Elon spam. It’s infected Lemmy.
That’s a bit much, isn’t it? It’s a brand new weird-ass truck, people are going to talk about it. And the article isn’t exactly celebrating it.
If this article was about a new car from another brand, would you complain about it? I thought we wanted more content on this platform. Or we could just stick to memes I guess…
I’d agree that I see way too much Elon stuff on my lemmy feed. This one I’m more interested in than 99% of the others. Maybe it’s just cause I’m a gear head, but I’ll sure as heck take it over the 10 X (formerly known as Twitter) “news” articles that I scrolled past to get here. News in quotes because it is no longer news that X (more commonly known as Twitter) and its owner are dumb.
I find that a don’t sprain my thumb scrolling over something that I don’t want to read
The oldest and lamest justification for having shitty and repetitive content.
Choose a different platform them. Or use a filter. Or I dunno fucking whine about other people discussing what interests them.
Use a filter. Other people want to talk
no get out
Well, that’s me told =)
It resists antibiotics, there’s nothing we can do.
It’s his broke mind virus. It’s sometimes fascinating but I’m mostly over his antics.
some customers have expressed their disappointment in online forums.
Wow. That’s brave of them. Throwaways, I assume.
you can tell they arent truck people
Normal truck people Love paying more for Less
I see you’ve noticed the parking lot princesses that truck guys seen to modify now.
Has anyone tossed a brick at the windows yet? Or has that debacle been swept under the rug?
It was a steel ball. They recreated the event with the same guy at the delivery event, but this time with a baseball and the dude gave it the most obvious limp wristed toss, it was incredibly cringe I highly recommend you seek that clip out because it’s absolutely hilarious.
God, that was worse than I expected. https://youtu.be/IUCMGB2AGaE
Lol, Franz is a wimp.
“So anyway, the glass is tough, basically”. Sure Elon, we’ll take your word for it. Is this how they test their rockets, too?
If they were honest and smart about the glass, they would’ve only ever went with something like a baseball or anything soft-ish and really beamed it in to the window. They might be able to take bullet levels of force, but not from a chromed ball. A chromed ball will focus force WAY better than lead ever would, though if a baseball would’ve broken the window, a damn .22 would…
Admittedly car windows are just strong as fuck from the outside due to their curve and construction, and they did throw the metal ball hard at the glass before when practicing for the announcement event and it bounced right off.
Come to think of it, how much do Cybertruck windows curve?
Not much but they have a curve.
Depends on your pov. Not curved much compared to a window from any other car. But it is curved just as much as any other piece of flat glass you may want to compare it to.
If they were smart about it, they would have tried it out once before doing it in public to see if it worked.
You really don’t want to be a pedestrian crossing the road in front of one of these. Just in case.
You know this headline is fake because Cybertruck fan boys would never ever act like it’s anything but a 100% perfect personal space shuttle + superiority license
BUT YOU CAN SHOOT IT WITH A BOW AN ARROW.
Checkmate, hater
/s if it’s not completely fucking obvious
Modern day DMC DeLorean. All the disappointment and the crazy CEO to go along with it. Maybe when Tesla folds up they can get a movie made about the truck like Back to the Future. Wonder what the movie will be called?
Back to the Emerald Mine
Call the movie “Back to the Stoneage”. Then send a tech billionaire to the past where nobody gives a fuck about them and they have to work to survive for the first time in their pathetic lives.
Can we make it a documentary about sending Elon and a bunch of other tech billionaires to Mars? That way we can enjoy it when their ship breaks up and they all die in space.
I like this. If they make it to Mars they get a survival habitat where we can vote them off, one by one
I’d say the Discovery Channel could show it, but I definitely want David Zaslav on that ship, so who would put it on there?
Maybe we can catch him in a cocaine deal too.
Back to
PS1N64.
I watched the mkbhd video on it.
It was like he was trying to make everything sound cool, even though he knows it’s a disappointment.
I’m glad I’m not the only person who felt that vibe from it. I could feel the new tech being reviewed hype, but he wasn’t totally into it. When he stood on the trunk I could totally see he was giving his all.

Was elongated muskrat trying to make the ugliest thing on the road? It makes the Pontiac Aztec look pretty.
Every Tesla model has been uglier than the last. (Especially thanks to Elon, but really ever since it was Lotus based.)
To be fair, it is REALLY hard to follow up when your industrial design starting point is a Lotus.
incidentally I just saw a roadster 1 yesterday, gorgeous car. But it’s just a rebadged Lotus Elise
The mkbhd first impressions were fascinating for what he didn’t say. I’m guessing that he didn’t want to burn the good times he has with Tesla so he really seemed to be trying to positively spin everything. At least, that’s my interpretation. The mirrors were particularly… https://youtu.be/XxOh12Uhg08?si=jlfuFU70v5cGd8HV
Anything in particular? I’m not great at understanding things that aren’t said.
I’ve stopped watching his channel long time ago, he’s not a reviewer, he’s a shill. Good on him for making bank, but his opinion is worthless.
I’m dying laughing. It has a roller shutter on the back. Like I have on my windows. I have cybertruck technology in my home.
Why is that funny? That’s actually a nice idea.
I think it looks cheap and ugly. And there is no chance it will withstand the elements. It’s gonna leak and get moldy.
It also look like a… Trash can lol.

I got a 2023 Hyundai Elantra Limited earlier this year and I actually love what they’ve done with it. It looks so sleek to me, especially in black.
I didn’t care for previous iterations of the Elantra. Dont get me wrong - they weren’t ugly. They just looked like standard car. Not bad just kinda bland. The newer style has personality, stands out much more and in a good way in my opinion.
I don’t see how anyone could take it seriously when the introduction was to show how unbreakable the windows were.
This doesn’t look like a car nor a truck it’s a combat vehicle. Seriously, who’s impressed by Elon’s shooting and steel ball demonstrations? In what kind of failed state do these Tesla customers live? With a tank hull for a frame and sharp edges all around this looks like a serious safety hazard for passengers and especially pedestrians outside the car.
Don’t forget in this apocalypse you have reliable charging infrastructure
Hummers were a thing. I can easily see those same people buying this.
And you can bet that the specs are “best case” “ideal conditions” as well. The reality will be worse still
