EVs tend to look like this after a battery fire, and the Cybertruck is easily the most hated vehicle ever made. I wouldn’t assume that this one caught itself on fire.

Is there a reason the car looks like it's giving up its physical body and becoming a spectral?

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Water. Best way to put out an EV fire is to keep dousing it with water until it cools down enough to not be on fire.

I'm sorry, are you suggesting that people are spending 6 figures purchasing, then destroying these vehicles... as a meme??

Continue to stay away from youtube. It's a dark place.

I think you replied to the wrong comment.

I figure if you're not aware of the stupid "pranks" influencers are pulling on youtube, you just don't visit, and that's probably in your best interest.

No but could be a fire unrelated to the trucks electronics, or one that was well contained either by design or more likely a lucky accident

But yes I've also seen videos of people shooting at cybertrucks so who tf knows maybe???

In case you’re not being sarcastic, Whistlindiesel…

But they’ve also been the target of some vandalism.
