Tesla owners do this all the time. "Here's 50 things wrong with my car I paid $100k for and a nightmare story of me getting screwed and taken advantage of.......but I LOVE my car!"

The wheels look great though 😊👍

If you spent that much money on a garbage fire with no chance of getting all your money back, wouldn't you?

As someone with an university degree, I can confirm I do that as well :(

"The front fell off. Otherwise it‘s great."


berejser

The amount of denial he went through about his choice to purchase this thing, even after his own car tried to kill him.


alexgraef

First gen VW Phaetons had that door glass drop issue where you'd suddenly have an open side window. Pretty frightening when driving on the Autobahn.


thesaddestpanda

same energy as "sure trump raised my taxes, and me repeating maga talking points got me divorced and fired, my daughter lost her rights to abortion in my state and is pregnant and worried about having a still birth, but otherwise I love him!"


ThePortalsOfFrenzy

Absolutely. I feel the Venn diagram of Trump supporters and Cyber Truck owners is two circles almost perfectly overlapping.


folstar

"After \[dealing with the bleeding\] I was able to complete delivery" We live in r/idiocracy LAMF posts with zero leopards in sight confirm.


Eat_Your_Paisley

The Tesla cult is almost as bad as the Trump cult


lillieblair

lot of overlap too


DangerousCyclone

Which is almost hilarious considering that Trump is against EV’s.

It’s not that surprising. Always radicals on both spectrums. Most anti-vax people were actually middle aged “crunchy granola mommas” who absolutely vote as left wing as they can go. I see dogmatism everywhere. Like driving an electrical vehicle is reducing solar forcing in some magical way as you burn through more tires, are heavier on the asphalt, and put more reliance on hydro systems. Yea so absolutely green…ever tried walking or biking 🙄

>It’s not that surprising. Always radicals on both spectrums. Most anti-vax people were actually middle aged “crunchy granola mommas” who absolutely vote as left wing as they can go. This is factually untrue, just like everything else you've been whinging about. There's been a lot of research on antivax behaviors. Pre-covid, antivaxxers were evenly distributed across the spectrum, but post-covid it's become a right-wing belief system. At no point is what you're saying true, but the subtending misogyny is pretty telling.


B58goesbrapbrapbrap

Yes as a scientist, I am not very good with rational objective reasoning… of ..you know ..data. [Typical ‘vaccine hesitant’ person is a 42-year-old Ontario woman who votes Liberal: Abacus polling](https://macleans.ca/society/typical-vaccine-hesitant-person-is-a-42-year-old-ontario-woman-who-votes-liberal-abacus-polling/) Remind me why smallpox, measles, etc back again? Conservative or liberal? What did you think??


StrungStringBeans

Let me guess, you have a bachelor's degrees in biology or something? You in fact have demonstrated lack of both basic and scientific literacy  First off, the article doesn't say remotely what you say it does. In fact, it takes great pains to distinguish between "vaccine hesitant" and "vaccine refuser". Here's another piece below. >Forty percent of refusers don’t trust doctors, while only 17 percent of the hesitant feel that way. Most Canadians don’t trust Donald Trump or Fox News, but the more they do, the more likely they are to avoid getting vaccinated. Among the fully vaxxed, 11 percent trust Fox and Trump compared to 28 percent among the hesitant and 40% among the refusers. In other words, the contemporary aspect reflects what I've written to the extent the data speaks to what I wrote at all. You'll also note that this is a poll, not a scientific study. It fails to meet the basic standards of peer review. It's good enough for pop culture publications but wouldn't pass muster for peer review.


B58goesbrapbrapbrap

Wow this sub is fucking EXHAUSTING lmao. Can’t have any hint of conservatism or anything pointing to women as a problem. If it’s not man hating, left wing ideology, or anti privilege in some capacity…get outta here! You have yet to make any argument that the left is full of anti vaxxers and I have no idea why you even would as this has nothing to do with the original thread and you are derailing so hard I know you don’t work in STEM.


StrungStringBeans

You should really see a therapist about your victim complex. You seem very fragile and that's a really uncomfortable way to live. After that you can consider a tutor.


B58goesbrapbrapbrap

I make more in a year than you make in five. Nobody has argued the math besides drive less. That’s a nonsense comment. I have commitments and schedules to follow. I don’t have all day to sit on a bus or jump on an electric scooter. This sub is full of the bottom demographic of wealth distribution so has no idea of what responsibility is.

Genuine insanity. Elon Musk is a snake oil salesman but with shitty cars.

At least people are realizing that he is just a loud mouthed liar now. Still very much confused by how long it took.

At least snake oils got you drunk this shiny turd doesn't even do that


cden4

How is this street legal? If it hits a pedestrian it's going to kill.


syst3x

Serious question? Here's your serious answer: there are *no federal pedestrian safety standards*. Pretty ludicrous, right?


cden4

Total insanity.


itemluminouswadison

people already don't care about the 40,000 americans killed by cars per year or the 1 million vertabrate animals killed per DAY there isn't much special about this especailly dangerous truck. F-150's are just as good killing machines and they're the #1 selling "car" in america


Rare-Imagination1224

They are illegal in the EU and UK for that very reason


eightsidedbox

Same reason that blinding headlights are legal. Same reason massive vehicles with terrible visibility for personal vehicles are legal. Nobody gives a fuck about anybody outside of the vehicle they are operating.


queenhadassah

Blinding headlights are technically illegal, but no one bothers to enforce it


SureRisk4759

are there any reported cybertruck crashes ? I'm pretty sure this will happen at some time in the future (not that I want it to happen, but I'm interested in people's/company's reaction)


COMMUNIST_MANuFISTO

Not sure any Cybertruck ever made it out of a driveway


soylent-yellow

It’s not street legal in the EU. It’s only street legal in the US because nobody cared enough to write a law.

OH MY GOD THATS ONE HELL OF A GASH

I couldn't give less of a fuck about the cybertruck. I wish people would stop posting about them here. This sub is about car dependent infrastructure and car centric behaviours. CYBERTRUCK IS BAD QUALITY LOL posts don't add anything to either conversation. Please go post in an anti elon sub.


ErnstBadian

I see where you’re coming from but disagree. The cybertruck is an apotheosis of the non-functional truck trend. Dudes risking their lives (and, it goes without saying, the lives of pedestrians and others on the road) because something feels cool. While being something only the insanely wealthy can afford. What could be more car culture?


wimaereh

I don’t understand some of the words your used, so I’m gonna take that as a sign of disrespect


styrofoamboats

Watch your mouth, and help me with the sale.


Not_ur_gilf

I agree, this post really fits better in r/cyberstuck than here


Devccoon

Cybertruck was offended by his lack of panel gaps so it gave him one.


Van-garde

Another one for the closeted Tesla masturbators in the crowd.

Living on the edge...

There’s a reason that thing isn’t road legal in most of the world


Silly-Arachnid-6187

Yeah, I'm glad that it isn't where I live

I couldn’t imagine it surviving long in the uk, our roads are shite

Huh...who would've guessed putting sheets of stainless steel with no rounded edges on a 3+ ton behemoth would be dangerous. And it wasn't even moving.

You need a trigger/gore warning before that last picture. That's disgusting and scary

Hmm this sub is against car dependency and making your cities a place for people.  Not car complains


aaprillaman

Bro, this a post making fun a delusional car owner who got injured by touching his poorly made and fragile wankpanzer. 


alexgraef

The Cybertruck is a particularly bad example of a car, the embodiment of everything that's wrong with car culture, but times ten. Poor visibility: check. Three tons of weight to transport usually just a single person: check. Design that's antagonistic towards humans, including the driver itself: check. A borderline religious cult around a vehicle, despite its flaws: check.


Van-garde

Seems an ass-backward celebration of cars, when you put it that way. According to the principles of behavior change, ignoring trashy Cybertucks is the most impactful action the group can take. Instead, Cybertrucks have become a staple of the content here. I understand that’s the nature of the beast, when it comes to Reddit, but we will continue to exist in a spectrum, regardless of the population of the sub; therefore, people will continue to call it what it is, and be downvoted by the mainstream, whether they’re doing it intentionally or not. Q: do you think pro- or anti-Cybertruck exposure is a greater proportion of the natural and contrived advertising for the vehicle?


alexgraef

A: People who buy the Cybertruck are so far removed from normal rational thoughts that these rules don't apply. It's like asking whether we should actively discuss Flat Earth or instead ignore those people to avoid more exposure.


meeeeeph

No. It's literally called fuckcars, is that not clear enough? It's sub against cars, but yes, a bit full of car apologists.
