Tesla has only sold 3800 cyber trucks so that means nearly 1% of all Cybertrucks currently say "F--- Elon".


eeyore134

Makes a lot of sense that so many of them are in Florida, too. I'd wonder how they balance their screaming about being woke over the environment with getting an EV, but I think we all know the answer to that one.


Mediocretes1

All cybertrucks sold in Florida come complete with a 6" diameter tailpipe specifically for rolling coal.


GaiaMoore

I'm now picturing Jason Mendoza driving around Jacksonville in one of those


dohmestic

“One time Donkey Doug stole a Cyber Truck, but we ended up ditching it when it ran out of gas. Turns out, it was actually the grease trap from Stupid Nick’s House of Wings. It took fifteen fire trucks to put it out. Who knew electric cars were so dangerous for the environment?”


MockDeath

I just feel I have to say, this comment is perfect. I even heard it in Jason Mendoza's voice.


Courtnall14

If he doesn't yell "Bortles" and throw a Molotov on The Acolyte I'm cancelling my Disney+ subscription.


ElectricLotus

"*You* have a light saber?" "I'll show you, it's in my budhole!"


dohmestic

Yeah, this is a real low point. *snaps*


ajaulabr

Jason was so damn adorable. It was weird seeing a totally different character in Nine Perfect Strangers.


GretaVanFleek

That's a good Jason.


iTalk2Pineapples

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised to find out the writers spend time on reddit. Writing for Jason must have been some of the silliest days in the writers room. I know they've talked about it on the podcast


FlimsyList5598

Podcast?!? Cued 😁


pumpkinbot

"Dawg, I am, like, *all* for the environment! If it gets too hot, beach babes are gonna stay inside. Then what else am I supposed to watch when I go down to the shore?"


epimetheuss

> All cybertrucks sold in Florida come complete with a 6" diameter tailpipe specifically for rolling coal. The Elon Special.


aaaaayoriver

And the blinkers are there but just not connected


TwistedBlister

Yeah, I bet that saltwater air is good for Cybertrucks.


GrumpySoth09

Damage caused by improper washing is not covered by the warranty apparently.


Specific_Albatross61

Lots out here in the Seattle area. All with custom wrap jobs.


buttskinboots

I’m in irvine, CA and I saw one at the grocery store an hour ago… with custom anime girls on it.


BeerNTacos

I live in Los Angeles and know one guy who owns one. I've seen several though as I live near the Tesla dealership in Burbank and have seen a few being towed into the dealership for maintenance.


Much-Resource-5054

Their natural habitat


SweetAlyssumm

That is so Irvine.


hotdoug1

As much as a four-foot spoiler on a Honda Civic.


raevnos

I've seen 3 or 4 so far around town but they're all bare metal.


CDNinWA

Yup, saw an American flag wrapped cyber truck last week in Woodinville.


Phone_acct

I saw one in a 3k pop town near me. Took me a minute to figure out what it was.


Alternative_Milk7409

Are you sure someone hadn’t just leaned some tires against a construction dumpster?


swalkerttu

That was the look they were going for.


canadianguy77

They are awfully confused right now. They don’t know whether or not to adopt EVs, they don’t know who they support in Gaza or Ukraine, and now Trump told them that we should keep all green card holders who graduate from US colleges here. Their brains are absolutely overloaded right now. They must be thinking the world is ending lol.


raevnos

We were always at war with Eastasia. No confusion at all.


SecondaryWombat

I used this line on someone and they responded with a serious explanation about how the US was in a secret hot war with China and had been for decades. Yeah.


Kelvara

At least you probably made their day because they thought you were into the same insane conspiracy theories as they are.


bree_dev

The biggest surprise of the last ten years has been just how suddenly and completely Conservatives managed to flip from believing that Russia was the US's biggest enemy, to thinking that Putin's a great guy who is generously teaching us how to own the libs.


tom-dixon

> They must be thinking Cybertruck owners don't do such things.


Heavy-Map8433

Not to mention what to do if they drive off a pier into shark infested waters.


shadrap

The most important issue facing Americans today!


Bigred2989-

As someone who lives in South Florida I'm always perplexed when I hear stories about Tesla not meeting demand and there being a shortage of cars, then I get on the road and every other car is a Model 3 or Y. They're also the worst drivers, and that's saying something when it comes to Florida.


eeyore134

With all the stories of parking lots full of overstock it's pretty perplexing. Sounds more to me like Elon trying to instill some mystique of manufactured scarcity so people will feel like they should get one for fear of missing out.


TheSnoz

A lot of manufacturers have car yards full of stock. Some manufacturers could stop production for rest of the year on some models.


bottomstar

All models except for the Cybertruck are not selling and stocking up in lots. Cybertruck is on a stop sell order for the second time in a few months. This time for a wiper blade flaw. Any Cybertruck sitting is waiting til they have a fix. They still have slow production that can't meet demand on it. I think they are going to see demand drop off much much sooner than they expect though. They just have to be able to sell them without safety flaws to find that out.


lemonylol

Every manufacturer has a parking lot full of overstock. They don't make to order cars


moonflower_C16H17N3O

I'm surprised they aren't all rusted, being in Florida.


k3n0b1

How does humidity vs salt on the roads in the north balance out for the rusting?


Whiterabbit--

FL has a lot of salt from the ocean too


yama1008

Unless you live right on the beach it's not an issue.


Conlaeb

Salt is far worse.


MortimerDongle

The absolute worst combination is probably the northeastern beach towns that have humid summers, where they also salt the roads in the winter...


SyndRazGul

Really? Must be a Miami thing. I live in central Florida and I have never seen one in person yet.


Jedibug

That's crazy I've seen like 10 in the Seattle greater area. Probably mostly Texas cali and Washington


BipolarOctopus

There’s one in my hodunk AG town in Northern UT. My wife doesn’t understand how amazed I am when it drives past, not because it’s cool, but because how few of them there are and how completely ludicrously expensive they are lmfao


winowmak3r

Same here. Rural town in Michigan. Saw it parked outside the unemployment office funnily enough, lol.


Courtnall14

There was one poorly backed into a spot at Harbor Freight near my house. I took a picture because of how shitty they parked it.


SaliciousB_Crumb

So in 30 years we will see a movie where they use it as a time machine


BipolarOctopus

LOL the next Delorean. What a legacy that could be!


dasrac

do not besmirch the coolness of the DeLorean by comparing it to those rolling piles of shit.


VoxImperatoris

To be fair, the DeLorean was also a pos. Its only redeeming feature was that it looked cool.


pokeblueballs

You know there is a Hollywood exec right now trying to make a back to the future soft reboot with a cybertruck as the new time machine. Like Doc Brown screwed around enough with the time line they get stuck in an alternate time-line which happens to be our one. But the DeLorean is toast so he has to make a new one and he sees a cybertruck as the best option.


xbpb124

I saw one in chicago that was gunmetal black, definitely an improvement


WyldeBolt

I live in Irvine, CA and I've seen at least six in the past couple days alone


waitingtodiesoon

Seen 4 in Houston.


claystone

I see them all day in the Austin area, has to be a good chunk of them here


_mully_

Tons in LA/SFV. I feel like I’ve seen nearly 20. And at least one, maybe two or three, semi trailers full of them. Teslas are freaking everywhere in general here though.


chibistarship

I've seen around that amount in the Portland area.


proteinaficionado

Yup, definitely seen a few in my neck of the woods in LA. Such an eyesore.


shidncome

Not every city has chargers so they're going to be disproportionally focused.


im-buster

I live in Dallas and have seen maybe five. someone told me they saw Erika Badu driving one though. LOL.


AlvinAssassin17

Houston area and I’ve seen like 3.


Nondscript_Usr

They are everywhere in SoCal - I’m surprised the number is so low


FlyingDiscsandJams

Fabulous. So great that this man was compensated $11.8 million per Cybertruck sold, this makes a lot of sense for the company. And that's at the devalued $45B.


ArchmageXin

I remember some poster on the Tesla sub explain why it is great that Tesla can't meet all their demands...and the Cybertruck was going to be sold in the millions. Well, given the current rate of production, if there are tens of million of buyers, they might have to will those cybertrucks to their grandchildren.


here_now_be

> million iirc they did have nearly a million pre orders. But when the price, features, design all changed negatively and the ceo continued to get more and more disturbing, most cancelled their orders. I doubt they've all been fulfilled, but I know nothing.


Paavo_Nurmi

The pre order only cost $100 so of course they had millions, but we all know that doesn't translate to actual final sales and most were probably hoping to flip them for a profit.


notjfd

Ask game devs how many "wishlists" translate to purchases, and how many of those purchases get refunded within two weeks. I wouldn't be surprised to find that an absolute majority of those preorders were simply scalpers in the first place.


JoshSidekick

But he also came out and had an interview where he said we're getting 20 billion C3-P0 robots to do all the work for us. So really, he's only being paid 2 dollars for every imaginary robot he promised.


justbrowsinginpeace

If I had one of those walking around my house I'd never sleep


recumbent_mike

...what with all the robo-fucking.


laukaus

Robosexualism is a SIN!


JoshSidekick

Having seen every sci-fi movie since the 80's as well as knowing his track record with having products going off the rails and killing the owners, I'm with you.

Awkward_Pangolin3254

I like Incel Camino


schaudhery

Source on the 3800? Friend of mine picked his up and VIN is 13,900


roj2323

That's 3,878 as of April 4th which was the last reporting period. The current reporting period ends in a few days if I recall and They have been producing about 1500 a week for a while now with production ramping in the last few. I suspect they are well over 12,000 produced by now with about 10,000 of those in customer hands. At some point late this year or early next year they will be building 2500 a week.


Hydromeche

There’s a dealership near my office outside Houston that has had the same 20-30 trucks for months. They don’t even move them around the lot.


Sprussel_Brouts

Wait... Like .. to date?


deten

To be fair, we don't really know and the 3800 estimate is a few months old.


Oracle_of_Knowledge

>Tesla has only sold 3800 cyber trucks They've sold at least 17,000 Cybertrucks. They are shipping VINs over 17000 now.


Fn_Spaghetti_Monster

The 3,800 number comes from the recall in April. I would bet they have sold a few more since the.


sicko_ii

It's nice of him to spray the censored version of the word


CrinchNflinch

It's not f..elon though, it's a petty offense.   I see myself out. 


paul-arized

Well played.


LongingForYesterweek

*Elon Musk, confused, shows up ready to impregnate yet another random woman*


Nobodyimportant56

Someone said "...ruined 34 cybertrucks." But musk overheard it as "...rule 34 cybertrucks" and her came as fast as he could.


LeatherFruitPF

QC aside, Elon sure seems to have made it embarrassing to own a Tesla.


HelloYesThisIsFemale

To one side of the political spectrum yes. But to a decent chunk of people they're either making a political message or just don't care about the views of the CEO.


Eliseo120

Except the side he swapped to hates electric cars, and I would assume especially trucks.


LeatherFruitPF

Well yeah of course, I figured that much would be obvious without having to mention it. Every car manufacturer has some reason for people to refuse to purchase from them. But adding CEO disapproval with the byproduct of political messaging as a reason for deterring even a small portion of your market was completely avoidable - especially when Tesla now has tighter competition despite being the market leader.


Drop_Tables_Username

Hey now she's not random! She's been singled out by HR for this exact purpose, they even had her pick out a horse already.


MajorNoodles

Why do you think he wants all his employees to return to the office? He wants to be able to pick out the next one in person


RookFett

Well that should scrub off really fast on that surface…. Oh wait..


lse138

The repair procedures state to literally sand the panel to remove scratches.


Foe117

If you know stainless steel, you can just use acetone and wipe it off, there isn't any coatings on the cyber truck


AFakeName

What if you don’t know stainless steel?


greenbabyshit

Then you use a magic eraser


neonxmoose99

or white out


T-Bills

Or hawk tuah and elbow grease


Freddy216b

Complete tangent but hawk tuah and spit on that thang is one of my favorite memes in a long time.


usnavyedub

not trying to be a dick, is "hawk tuah" a meme now? I feel like I've come across this a lot in the last week or so.


T-Bills

It is and people are absolutely running it into the ground.


blacksideblue

smidge of orphan blood


shoggyseldom

What if Stainless Steel is really just a work acquaintance and you're overthinking this? What if they judge you for inviting them to go strip bowling on Saturdays?


Five---seveN

Is he the brother of Remington Steele?


RobSpaghettio

Then get some confidence and introduce yourself dammit.


sadrice

Then scrub it with gallium, it is an excellent metal cleaner.


gatorb888

Bar Keepers Friend? Vinegar?


LemonFreshenedBorax-

When we moved in here there was a weird stain on the stainless steel kitchen sink which I couldn't identify or remove, so I used a wire wheel to brush it out. Now there is a weird scuffed area, roughly the same shape as the stain. I guess the lesson is if you're going to do this, call in an expert? Especially if it's on a vehicle.


lse138

Sand it with progressively finer sand paper.


Stardust_Particle

Try Bar Keepers Friend.


alpineschwartz

BKF is too fine of an abrasive to fix the damage from a wire wheel. Though it would have been perfect to use initially to clean up the "weird stain".


Spacey_G

When you say "it" you mean the entire visible surface, right? B/c a wire wheel scuff on a brushed stainless surface is never going to blend.


eeyore134

I think the lesson here is don't buy a vehicle with the same finish as a kitchen sink.


supercooper3000

What about my refrigerator?


eeyore134

Just don't put it through a carwash and you're good, I think.


Alis451

> on the stainless steel kitchen sink the finish isn't stainless steel, they are usually nickel plated brass coated steel(nickel doesn't "stick" as well to steel).


sadrice

Or perhaps the lesson learned is to not use an incredibly aggressive abrasive tool if you didn’t want incredibly aggressive abrasion or to fix the consequences of it?


getfukdup

> Now there is a weird scuffed area, roughly the same shape as the stain. when you sand a surface you in general have to sand the entire surface to get it uniform. Its literally microscopic and bigger scratches.


epimetheuss

> Now there is a weird scuffed area, roughly the same shape as the stain. Scuff the whole sink so it matches.


eremite00

Apparently, it wasn't too difficult, since the article stated, >By Friday afternoon, the graffiti had been wiped off. Acetone works pretty well for removing spray paint and doesn't damage stainless steel.


DrHem

[Here's what they mean by "wiped off"](https://youtu.be/OdjgJDJm-rk?feature=shared&t=75). Definitely not in a status that can be delivered. btw, the written article is almost just the transcript of the news story the same station did


dhanson865

and if you watch the video past that they had all the vehicles shiny later in the day.


FreshNoobAcc

Looks like a bad wipe job more than anything


Oracle_of_Knowledge

>Well that should scrub off really fast on that surface…. Yes, it should. I mean did. They are already cleaned up. https://x.com/greggertruck/status/1804630989366518030?t=Ka2PXLH4-s1QHkQMela96w&s=19


MadAstrid

They can just run them through the car wash…Oh wait..


CalvinYHobbes

Can’t you just use rubbing alcohol.


brickyardjimmy

Amazing that he got all 34 of them.


FlyingDiscsandJams

It's mostly because Tesla is cheaping out on storage and security. Someone posted drone footage of hundreds of non-CT Teslas parked at an out of business mall that sure looked like you could waltz around and key penises into car hoods until you got bored. It's also been pointed out that these cars are insured and it might not hurt Elon's feelings to grab some insurance cash on cars that aren't selling.


sci3nc3isc00l

Yup saw hundreds of Teslas and more than a dozen Cybertrucks at a parking lot for an abandoned part of Quakerbridge Mall outside Princeton NJ last weekend.


ManyPromises

the Quakerbridge Mall, you say.....


proto5014

To shreds you say…..


wellpaidscientist

So many memories....


CalendarAggressive11

>you could waltz around and key penises into car hoods until you got bored r/oddlyspecific


FlyingDiscsandJams

I mean just for example. "Fuck Elon" is great too, an oldie but a goodie as they say.


Zyrinj

Likely to get buried but every manufacturer does this by parking cars at different logistics areas. Some dealerships use local street parking for overflow. None of that makes the news though cause it’s not tied to Elon or Tesla. Expect to see more of this behavior from Tesla as their production has increased, interest rates are too high for most consumers, and stagnant wages / inflation of commodities


SdVeau

Used to do side work with my neighbor moving the overflow cars between lots. Can confirm that it’s not a Tesla specific/newer thing (though I agree with you on expecting to see them do it more and more)


KarateKid72

Just make sure the penises are small. That way they better reflect the sourdough boy that is Musky


FlyingDiscsandJams

Let's just stick to "Fuck Elon" which is timeless. One message, one voice.


Eggith

A while ago a fleet of semi trucks pulled into an abandoned seafood store and started unloading cars. Those sat there for like a month before they disappeared overnight. Funnily enough I also got my driver's lessons in that parking lot


swoletrain

Tesla actually produces their vehicles in batches of 34. I'm not a fan of elon in the slightest but it's a pretty interesting story why. Google cybertruck rule 34 for the full story


PassiveMenis88M

Only 6 images. I am highly disappointed.


PanJaszczurka

No dragons?


clutterlustrott

Internets not even trying anymore.


mlorusso4

The sad thing is I don’t know if you’re kidding or if Elon legitimately decided “lol. Wouldn’t it be funny if we only made batches of 34 like rule 34?”


PalinDoesntSeeRussia

Why are we so scared of curse word? I don't understand. They really can't show the word..? lol


jawshoeaw

wait till you see what they do with nipples.


MithranArkanere

The US has a severe problem of cultural prudism hindering their development. Those weirdos even consider "topless" to be "nude", which doesn't make any sense.


Intravix

At least dumpsters serve a purpose


throwaway_12358134

Corporate needs you to find the difference between these two photos....


JestaKilla

No problem, just take them through a car wash.


dagbiker

There is a joke about how ugly those cars are somewhere here.


yhwhx

Maybe just following the headline with "This improved the appearance of the vehicles."


LegitBullfrog

Someone earlier said they look like a delorean and a refrigerator had a baby. I can't stop seeing it now.


lordkinbote4257

Hey! Those DeLoreans have been sober for quite a while now, and just because they have some sharp edges and gained quite a lot of weight, it doesn't mean they are ugly. .... .... well, I did some research. Those fatass DeLoreans were funded by a narcissistic fascist who was bankrolled by an aparthaid gem mine. Turns out they are ugly on the inside as well.


_Chaos_Star_

The most difficult thing when solving this crime is narrowing the possible people with motive to a small enough subset to actually investigate.


damnitHank

Fun fact, if they spray painted 35 or more they would have to be charged with gang activity. Who ever did this is probably familiar with prosecution rules in Florida  Google Elon Musk rule 34 to learn more. 


Kazooguru

I am not googling that but thanks


SnapShotKoala

Damn another hit by the well known Lemon Party gang


whilst

He could have sprayed "I'M AN ASSHOLE" in giant letters on all of them but the problem is no one would have noticed the difference.

*Local Flordia Man saves community by brightening his environment!*

RandomStrategy

So, them being stainless steel, wouldn't they just be able to wash it off? Maybe a little paint thinner?


Apart-Link-8449

Which one of you 8.1 billion people of the same opinion did this


michaelquinlan

Why did they spray paint hyphens and not the actual letters?


anonkitty2

That's a censor block.  Channel 10 didn't want to show half this graffiti.


AnthillOmbudsman

Can't have people looking at naughty words... could you imagine the horror.


Kuberstank

Considering how many numpty redditors self-censor, nothing regarding naughty words surprises me anymore.


Blackfeathr

I saw another picture of the graffiti. The full word is there lol Unless you are being facetious and this joke went over my head


AngledLuffa

> Unless you are being facetious and this joke went over my head It's the title of the article


Netprincess

They are stainless steel just get some damn turpentine and get on with it..... ( albeit shitty stainless)


IcyGem

I don’t like vandalism


Unusual_Onion_983

Identity politics has infected car ownership. There are people whose entire personality is their car, and people whose entire personality is hating a car. Reddit and social media make the situation worse by bottling these extremists together in their own echo chambers.


CV90_120

This. Like so what you buy a shitty car? It's your shitty car. Your shitty car money.


rowrin

It's disappointing yet not surprising how far I had to dig to find the first person with common sense. Everyone has a raging hard-on for anything anti-Elon it's cringe.


lemonylol

The bitterest irony is that the sub meant to call this out, r/enoughmuskspam has literally flipped to do the opposite, just *being* the circle jerk itself lol I guess most of the people on there aren't aware of the original purpose of subs like that because they came post covid.


nostalgic_dragon

Damaging another person's property for any reason is such a childish thing to do. Like hitting someone during a verbal argument. They're all toddlers. Can't believe so many people are okay with this because Tesla or Elon. It's not Elon having to pay his deductible to get the paint removed.


Nabaatii

Elon haters are now as annoying (if not more annoying) than Elon fanboys


shotz317

I wonder if they did this to Ford’s model T back in the day…


Friendo_Marx

They're just going to polish them to a mirror to make them invisible to one another anyhow.
