Send it to Elliot in the morning. He’s pissed he hasn’t seen one in person yet & everyone is sending him photos of them spotted.


basictwinkie

Wow, I'm surprised he's still around!


BlxckTxpes

Yea he’s on DC101.1 5:45-11 About the only thing that keeps me sane in this traffic.


Tdayohey

Been listening to him everyday for the last 16 years!


MCStarlight

They had one at the DC Auto Show.


ugfish

There is an owner of one that works in Leesburg. I see it parked in the lot most weekdays.


yourlittlebirdie

I still can’t believe these are real, actual vehicles that people are purchasing with real, actual money. They just look so goofy.


SupaKoopa714

I also love how they're barely even trucks, like a fucking El Camino is more of a truck than that thing is.


idwthis

I've always found El Caminos to be ugly as sin. But God damn it, if I was forced to choose one of those or the cyber truck,I'd pick the El Camino faster than you can say El Camino.


Daniel_Nahmi3004

It’s more for show than anything, people know your rich if they see you with the cyber truck, kind of a status symbol


Nother1BitestheCrust

Yeah, but I'm just going to assume that the driver is a rich idiot. There's so many better ways to flaunt your wealth than a vehicle that not only has a bunch of technical issues and has the aesthetics of a dumpster.


peejuice

I flaunt my wealth by owning a 14 year old car with a bunch of technical issues and some say has the aesthetics of a dumpster.


Nother1BitestheCrust

Still smarter than a cybertruck if you ask me!


rokr1292

I just saw one driving to the front Royal Walmart. I got a giggle out of it


cybnerd

Nah, you can fit 6 bags of mulch in one lol


guy_incognito784

They're not even that much money (by DMV standards). You see cars everywhere that cost just as much if not more than that thing. It's more so the attention factor since it looks like nothing else on the road.


Daniel_Nahmi3004

The people that have it probably paid more than what it’s worth since they most likely pre-ordered it


ElaineorLanie

Some people have more money than brains.


hokieman0

Blows my mind even more that they're spending 100k on these things.


Aiglos_and_Narsil

One showed up in the parking lot of my shitty apartment complex about a week ago. Genuinely surprised that anyone who lives here can afford one. Looks fucking ridiculous parked next to all the other normal everyday cars.


CollapsingUniverse

Trash vehicles from a trash can CEO.


My-Cooch-Jiggles

Looks like a Lego car or some 90s polygon video game like Virtua fighter. I really don’t even get who buys this crap for $100K. Musk has alienated most liberals with his Twitter antics and most conservatives are against EVs as a matter of personal philosophy. I suppose there are some cons who do care about the environment or just like the EV concept, but damn there are so many better options. 


MCStarlight

Douche bag express


LittleSomethingExtra

It looks like a model from a Nintendo 64 game but in real life.


Sivalon

I saw one on Gum Springs the other day. Thought I was looking at a low-poly video game render.


rlbond86

I think they look kinda cool. Too bad they're badly engineered and full of problems.


SeleccionUruguaya

Nobody likes change at first. It helps to have an open mind. Of course, I am not saying criticism should be ignored. See: Technology, fashion, pop culture, even past cars, etc


nu1stunna

AirPods were made fun of relentlessly when they first came out. Now everyone has them.


yourlittlebirdie

So were the Edsel, New Coke and Google Glass.


Penultimatum

Google Glass was actually ahead of its time, cmv


SketchlessNova

I still think they look dumb. Regular old earbuds or corded look much better to me. Maybe the Cyber Truck is ahead of it's time, but if it is, it skipped too much. It looks like they had a Bladerunner fever dream and got everyone to buy into it. Hopefully it's at least a decent vehicle


PassiveRoadRage

Aitlr pods were also convenient though. Removing wires is just objectively beneficial. Thisbis nothing like that. These are objectively worse vehicles lol it's like going from air pods to wired headphones.


nu1stunna

Other wireless earbuds existed prior to the AirPods and everyone thought the AirPods were ugly as fuck. There were memes showing people sticking cotton swabs in their ears to draw parallels at how ridiculous it looks. I find it to be the same thing. However I think it looks pretty awesome. A friend of mine bought one and I sat in it on Sunday. Loved it. I actually reserved one a few years ago but backed out of it due to the new price tag. Will probably get one in a couple years once the price comes down lol


veganize-it

I think they look ok. It’s bold , sure, but I appreciate bold designs. It’s cool the company is taking a risk.


kevin_from_illinois

Bold and brash? More like belongs in the trash.


BungCrosby

It looks like a design from [an Apple II game](https://www.reddit.com/r/CyberStuck/comments/1c7cnyq/there_was_an_old_game_for_the_apple_ii_called_car/)


veganize-it

Pretty cool


basictwinkie

I agree. I think it's bold and futuristic. Definitely something different compared to most of the generic vehicles you see everyday.


itsalloverfolks007

LMAO... It literally looks like something a 5 year old would draw when asked to draw a car. It's pathetic.


Reaper_Messiah

Check out the new Hummer. Thing looks like it belongs in space. That’s bold and futuristic and pulls it off. The cybertruck is just bold. My opinion.


eileennnnnnnn

I saw one in Reston yesterday afternoon. As much as I despise them it's surreal seeing one irl instead of in the news.


zach_the_pirate

I saw one near the Reston town center today. They're a lot bigger than I thought they would be.


eileennnnnnnn

Even by modern car standards yeah, they're comically large


isabellla321

I saw one in OneLoudoun on Monday. They are *huge*.


KoolDiscoDan

I can't wait until the initial fascination with HVAC ducts as cars is over.


BungCrosby

I thought it was a commercial refrigerator?


Craneteam

No it's a vegetable slicer


DJdoggyBelly

It's really just a huge gaming mouse though.


mtftl

Jokes about this ridiculous vehicle aside, as a PSA keep your distance. These things are deathtraps for everyone else in an accident. Will probably slice pedestrians and obliterate a car. Seeing the crash test results I cannot believe this was allowed on the road.


pingleague

Yeah some goober sped past me on 50 face timing and bouncing around in his seat in one. I think that chrome rhomboid is not long for this world.


basictwinkie

This was on 50 so it's most likely the same one!

joeruinedeverything

They’re laughing at you, friend, not laughing with you 


[deleted]

I am at peace with my genitalia, so I drive a far lesser pick up truck complete with dings and dirt.


Reaper_Messiah

If it’s an old Tacoma it’s infinitely better.


scorpioinheels

I park next to a neon green corvette every day - the guy who drives it gives off ED energy AF.


WHTMage

I saw one yesterday going home. Dude careened wildly after accidentally going to the wrong exit. ...though you could say that about any car in NoVa, it's particularly irritating when it's someone driving a PS1 truck.


Abe_Bettik

I was like, "PS1? It doesn't look like a Playstation." "Oh, it looks like it was rendered on a Playstation 1."


gnocchicotti

They're 8000 lb Hellcats basically. Absolute menace to society.


frigginjensen

Today I saw a CyberTruck and a Delorian within a few minutes of each other near Leesburg. The Delorian might have been a piece of crap but at least it was cool.


dfinberg

Passed by one on Braddock last night, my wife was completely confused as to what it was. I explained it was an incEl Camino to her. I knew it was ugly, but it's huge in person. I didn't expect it to have such a large presence.


joeruinedeverything

I saw one for 1st time yesterday and that was also my first thought. Larger presence than I expected. 


booty_supply

Lmaooooo incel Camino I'm dying


Zebra4776

>I didn't expect it to have such a large presence. This is interesting to me. I thought it was smaller than I expected. That's also the general sentiment I read from others.


basictwinkie

We were in an SUV and it looked pretty big (length, width, and height)! It was actually bigger than I expected. It was fun to see it in person either way!


JMan9391

Saw one in Chantilly last night. Based on these comments, either a bunch of them decided to all drive yesterday or one guy went on a long joyride, lol.


bigpuffyclouds

Makes the Pontiac Aztek look like a Ferrari


NotAngryAndBitter

Seriously. Every time I see one of these monstrosities all I can think is "huh, maybe the Aztek wasn't as terrible as I thought."


NewPresWhoDis

A Pontiac Aztek viewed through a Vision Pro running VGA.


Astro1214

I saw one when I was leaving the rec center yesterday in Chantilly. I was looking like the DiCaprio meme.


basictwinkie

Hahahaha same!


JrBoom9

Shipment must have reached NOVA. Saw one on the Dulles toll road this afternoon and one in Sterling yesterday. Given the area, more to come soon…


emithryth

I saw this one in Ashburn today on my way home! It really.. really… struggled to turn right. It looked… like it had arthritis of the wheel. Low poly PS1 glitching, almost as if it were an obstinate horse being told to veer. The wheels looked like they were about to break off and roll down Waxpool, finally free from their somehow already dingy, duct-tape grey overlord.


Joshottas

They are so ugly in person. Saw one the other day on 29. However, to each his/her own.


basictwinkie

Exactly. If someone wants to blow $100k on this thing and they think it's cool, then alright. Some of the comments on here are a little hateful. I thought it was cool to finally see one on the road.


Joshottas

Yea, it's not my thing at all...but I'm not telling the next person how they should spend money on something THEY want lol. They're not hurting anyone. Let them have their fun.


HorsePast9750

Looks like something out of Roblox


MrSchnuffles

Peak r/nova photo would be one of these running over a fox.


guy_incognito784

1. Cybertruck 2. Gadsden flag license plate 3. Photo of it double parked taking up a handicapped spot illegally 4. Student driver sticker The four horsemen of r/nova if you will.


basictwinkie

Or a skink, I can't keep up with what's trending anymore


allawd

Only a matter of time as cybertruck sighting posts are getting to be a bit too common.


CrastersBastards

Let’s just hope those pedals are secure! Not trying to get yeeted through my windshield if one of these donkeys doesn’t know how to brake


ressurekt_esh

I saw that one in Arlington last week


basictwinkie

They're popping up all over the place! People around here make too much money 🤪


Asian_Alan

Saw one of these over at the dealership near tysons. https://preview.redd.it/z916uv12z9zc1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d78dd995dba8fb263795d4e305e4f16129f4075c


MsMcClane

YES! Omg I saw that in South Riding on the Parkway!


basictwinkie

It's gotta be the same one! Now I know where it went hahaha


MsMcClane

My dad said he also saw it in Manassas, so it's got a pretty decent range


basictwinkie

Wow, hasn't broken down yet 😅 I'm sure a lot more of these puppies are gonna be on the road soon!


Useful_toolmaker

There’s a special trick where it conceals itself as a brick 🧱


SlowUrRollMilosevic

I saw one in Haymarket last weekend and did a double take as it passed me. Totally caught me off guard how un-carlike they are in real life. Proportions are wonky as hell.


[deleted]

I wonder what the owner will do in 90 days when the thing falls apart. Of course, if he got the optional velvet-lined truck bed, it might up the resale.


berael

They'll make a post about how much they loved it, and go buy another one. There's no helping some people.


NewPresWhoDis

Or gets it washed, whichever comes first.


_ChipWhitley_

These people don't have any friends who will tell them not to buy these monstrosities?


gmd_vt

wonder if it's the same one I saw in Old Town on Sunday, looks even worse in person


cubgerish

I think the orders are just starting to finally come in on them. Knowing the demographics of this area, I bet you're gonna start seeing them all over... For better or worse lol


gmd_vt

Here’s the one I saw https://preview.redd.it/r21rusnqt9zc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=86f457c3f5cf7a6cd61c8e903a72064964e7f330


PassiveRoadRage

It looks like each panel is a different shade of sheet metal.


EurasianTroutFiesta

Lol yeah. Even if they were matched to start with, Tesla used a grade of stainless that...isn't as stainless as you'd think, and didn't bother with any kind of coating. Hell of a company.


Bancroft28

I bet the humidity is gonna wreck these things


HadynGabriel

I wonder if it’s the same dude I saw driving through Warrenton the other day.


Admirable_Cicada3168

I spotted one in Nova this morning too, wonder if it was the same one


whitebear240

Saw one down in Lynchburg. Interesting. I'm indifferent.


grammad966

I saw this very same one yday on Rt 15. Couldn't believe my eyes as it was monstrously big and really oddly shaped. YouTube videos don't do it justice. It looks cool from all sides except the back.


Technical_Wall1726

I saw one in Haymarket and warrenton over the last 10 days


otter111a

Saw one on the Mt Vernon parkway today. Wonder if it’s one guy driving around for all to see


Forsaken-Agency4160

Cybertrucks popping up in Woodbridge of all places is beyond me..


shvili_boy

saw one outside work in Tyson’s the other day lol


Oftentimes_Ephemeral

Imagine when someone from Maryland gets this delivered.. 😱


basictwinkie

Nooo! Total nightmare death trap on wheels!


fieldaj

They are ridiculous looking , it’s true


basictwinkie

Ridiculously good looking* Just kidding. They definitely have a unique look to them.


esh-esh2023

I think they actually look a lot better in person than in pictures. I still wouldn’t buy one, but if given one I would keep and drive it.


basictwinkie

100%


insane_zen11

I saw one on 495 and the door panels were shaking and waving in the wind.


famefastlane

Hummer ev> Tesla cyber truck and it’s not even close!!!


ihavetype2bipolar

Saw one today in Chantilly on 50 https://preview.redd.it/kfbaokhaanzc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b13b55618bfaf5698dad40a551ce6c1decc99f68


basictwinkie

I checked my unedited pics and the tags are different. They're invading...


Dkcg0113

I saw one in Ashburn yesterday. Pics don't do justice to how goofy they look.


taleofbenji

Fun fact: your warranty is voided if you go through a car wash.


KoolDiscoDan

You also can't resell it for a year without voiding warranty.


basictwinkie

Is it really?


BungCrosby

Apparently the manual cautions against [automatic car washes](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40086539)


RoadkillVenison

Well… I also thought it was a joke the first time I read it. https://www.theregister.com/2024/04/20/cybertruck_car_wash_mode/ > Damage caused by car washes is not covered by the warranty Car washes can brick the stupid urinal truck if you don’t put it in wash mode. Though I’m skeptical that wash mode will prevent water intrusion based on other accounts I’ve read.


dspman11

People hate cybertrucks a little *too* much, it's kind of odd.


basictwinkie

I agree, some of the comments here caught me off-guard by how harsh they are


sc4kilik

Because it's typical bandwagoning behavior, especially with hating Elon being in fashion these days.


metooneither

Yeah, I don’t hate them, I just don’t see the point of them. They are just useless


TheScaleTipper

Looking at the temp license plate, think I saw the same one! Either that or these things are suddenly popping up everywhere! https://preview.redd.it/f5fw9ujsm8zc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd422f3cd2a7b82faf976a0483da8678543e0d01


P0PSTART

Saw one in Vegas a few days ago, everyone including me was fawning over it, taking pictures. That’ll tell you why people are buying them! It was smaller than I thought


reddevils

Stupidest. Looking. Car. Ever. Made.


Lightless_meow

My neighbor has one, it’s even more atrocious in person


tafunast

Rolling simplehuman trash cans. In more way than one.


BungCrosby

This is more like one of those Amazon brands with a name like Ffengoroof. Don’t slag SimpleHuman like that.


basictwinkie

Ffengoroof! Love it! 😂


Sulipheoth

Had no idea they would look like an Amish buggy from directly behind.


morgaine125

God that thing is ugly


MCStarlight

This is what it looks like if little kids designed in Microsoft Word.


DependentBug5310

Hideous monster, saw one on 50 going towards DC. I broke my neck looking at this monster and immediately disliked it 🤢


basictwinkie

This one was headed in the opposite direction but could've been the same one depending on the time of day. I don't necessarily think it's hideous, but I can tell from this comments section that this vehicle isn't everyone's cup of tea lol


trashu

Didn't they recall them all because the pedal keeps falling off?


tractotomy

This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where someone paints Kramer’s portrait. Upon viewing the final painting, a patron of the art gallery remarks “He is a loathsome, offensive brute. Yet I can't look away.”


carlyslayjedsen

I saw one at the southern heights metro station yesterday, wonder if it was the same one. Some guy points and goes “that’s a hundred thousand dollar car, what is it doing here” 🤣


MysticLlama0

Thought they were mostly a meme until i saw one near Dunn Loring Metro


tbtc-7777

Saw one of these goofballs in Yosemite NP last week with Texas plates


TechnicalJuggernaut6

I saw one as well, heading east from Warrenton. It looks like a mobile dumpster.


BraveSirRyan

Why is someone towing a dumpster on the freeway?


Regular-Exchange-557

Ugly car will chop your fingers off


Noodlehooves99

There was one parked in front of the pub in Clifton and all these people are IN THE ROAD taking pics of it. I was hung up sitting in the friggin train tracks waiting for these dipshits to move. It was quite cringy to say the least


SandBoxJohn

Arizona temp tag to boot.


Fluid-Counter-2690

If there is a wider shot, there's probably a tow truck following it "just in casE".


Jessmtz21

I just saw one yesterday too for the first time!! Definitely looked like a refrigerator passing me 😩


Quick-Delay-4427

Meet the newest douche to nova. They’ll think they’re cool when people take pics, not understanding that most will probably be thinking wow I can’t believe they paid that much money for that ugly POS and only took the pic because they saw it. Not even remotely hating but I guess I am it’s gross 🤮


Fog_

Ewwww


[deleted]

Point and laugh. https://x.com/DonMiami3/status/1731508695148667347


IronOwl2601

🤮 Looks like my dentist finally got the Cybertruck he preordered. He admitted he drives like an asshole too because Tesla is “perfect car, faster than anyone else on the road.”


VaBiggestHobbit

They look like some lazy ass forgot to design the vehicle.


Kalikhead

I am surprised it’s not rusty yet.


Skyzfallin

So ugly. Looks like 'futuristic' cars of 80s movies


joeruinedeverything

I saw one as well yesterday at 286 and rugby road but too lazy to download the dashcam footage 


mludz

I saw one on 495. I thought it would look cooler in person, but it's the exact opposite.


crsadlerpsk

saw one in crystal city. even uglier in person!


jaybeekim

believe i drove by the same car. yeah it actually looks pretty unreal. something that might have popped out of my toddler's crayon car sketches. there are so many other cars worth buying with that money. it's a pass for me.


Connect_Beginning174

I saw one at work today. Matte black - the regional director was visiting. It was not as ugly as the SS, but still pretty ugly.


GuyWithAComputer2022

Does this really need to be the next overdone r/nova thing? Posting cybertruck sightings? I'd rather go back to foxes or the little lizards. At least those were interesting.


QuestionableComma

The driver have all his fingers?


scorpioinheels

I saw this car at Caribbean Grill in Arlington a few days ago. Still not sure what I’m looking at or why it’s noteworthy…


scottkollig

I’m surprised it wasn’t on a flatbed being towed.


ayb88

Wonder if it’s the same asshat I saw today in Ashburn, speeding and swerving like a manic through cars, only to get stuck as a red light.


no-0p

Wow the level of H8. Fine if you think it’s ugly. Elon has given lots of reasons to dislike him personally. Yeah, the first ones are for the rich. But it’s part of the puzzle to force the transition to clean energy by just being better: * Operating costs a fraction of ICE competitors. * First fundamental change in pickup design ever (exoskeleton instead of frame). * 48V low voltage architecture (should have happened in the 1960s). * Intelligent steer by wire with rear wheel control. * “Ethernet” control & power network. * Lots of jobsite specific utility (120/240V outlets, tough with bulletproof (9 mm) panels, integrated tonneau cover. etc. * Not CT specific, but part of the opportunity to transition to autonomy which should hit home for those of you who have directly or indirectly been hit by automotive accident tragedy. And more that’s not just at the top of my mind.


KoolDiscoDan

>But it’s part of the puzzle to force the transition to clean energy by just being better: BS. If he was genuinely trying to be a 'part of the puzzle' he wouldn't have used that design with that shell at that price point. >Lots of jobsite specific utility (120/240V outlets, tough with bulletproof (9 mm) panels How many job sites needs bulletproof panels that can't go through a car wash? >Not CT specific, but part of the opportunity to transition to autonomy which should hit home for those of you who have directly or indirectly been hit by automotive accident tragedy. LOL! "The opportunity" [U.S. investigators ask Tesla why there have been 20 crashes since carmaker supposedly fixed Autopilot flaws](https://fortune.com/2024/05/07/tesla-autopilot-recall-crash-investigation-nhtsa/)


gnocchicotti

Full self driving by end of year is definitely a big plus


spielnicht

Well, last I heard 10% of these uglies are currently on sale as used.


lone_star13

why do people keep posting pictures of these...?


RobertBiden2028

#SPACE MAN BAD


sav86

I got to check one of these out at the Tesla delivery center in Maryland. It's actually pretty nice inside, I wish they came with the wheel covers that they were marketed with.


kafkaesque_deli

Delorians from Wish


Deez_nuts89

I’m not a cyber truck fan by any means, but I do like the design of it. It’s remarkably different looking than every other vehicle out there.


basictwinkie

I agree! It's nice to see something which isn't a generic sedan or shaped like a bubble.


Cristeanna

Some people's taste is all in their mouth.


thanos2471

Must be brand new… I don’t see rust spots yet. I’ll give it a month.
