I'd say the cybertruck is quite the opposite: ugly fucking metal
a 100k charcuterie machine, a mobile crematorium, or a venison slicer. a swiss army knife of cars.
Sheehan was driving home when the Cybertruck “left the road” and struck a large concrete culvert, after which the vehicle’s “hyper volatile” battery system went into “thermal runaway” – a chain reaction of short-circuits ultimately resulting in uncontrollable temperature escalation – and caught fire.
Once power was lost, it was impossible for Sheehan to open the Cybertruck’s electrically operated doors in the normal way, the complaint goes on, highlighting a major issue that has similarly doomed others riding in Teslas. The external door handles also failed to work, and the emergency manual door release handles within the Cybertruck are “unreasonably difficult to locate in an emergency,” the complaint states.
These design problems are so glaringly obvious that the fact Tesla hasn't bothered to fix them gives big "fuck you" vibes. A company's culture comes from the top.
Sure is good that DOGE got rid of everyone who was investigating Tesla.
they haven't bothered to fix them because elon doesn't give a fuck about dead people.
In Kanye voice “Elon Musk doesn’t care about dead people”
It's all computers!
How appropriate that a Swastitruck cremates its drivers.
It is beautiful.
Elon: If the bones disintegrated, how do you know anyone was even in there? 😏
I ket what ya mine
I ket what ya mine
Translation?
It's a ketamine pun
The perfect fake death.
Take out huge loan. Take out massive life insurance policy. Flip Tesla. Ignite.
Idk, head to somewhere with no extradition by cargo boat or some shit.
Edit: okay there's a flaw. You gotta drive a cyber truck.
Just pretend you're German and go to Venezuela.
Load up batteries into a Swastikar with a massive number of recalls that was manufactured by a company run by an ultimate idiot who lives by "move fast and break things" ...
What did you think you bought? Something good? 🤡 🫏 🖕 💩
You signed your death warrant when you bought an Incel Camino
Funny because the German word "Kamin" means fireplace and chimney
The Camino was cool as shit. The swastidumpster looks like a stoned 3 year old drew it with what was left after snacking on a crayon
So, a mobile crematorium. How apt.
Fitting for a Nazi car really
Fuck Tesla and Elon Musk
I'd rather not fuck him, thanks. There are enough wives/baby mamas who have done that at this point.
Rumor has it you couldn't even if you wanted to because he had a botched surgery, and all those kids were conceived via IVF.
5 out of 10: Shit car; great Viking funeral.
Tesla ad: SAVE BIG ON BURIAL/CREMATION SERVICES
So they're providing free cremation services now eh?
They'll find a way to charge for it soon
Don't give mElon ideas. He'll send a bill.
I don’t know how so maybe this isn’t entirely true, but I’ve seen past news reports of Cybertrucks having to be buried due to the temperature of these fires. Supposedly they burn so hot that they are difficult to extinguish.
That applies to anything with Li-ion NMC in it. Like your phone. EVs just have more of them.
No reason to bury the whole truck when the battery can be removed.
F/A 18s have zinc in their brake disks that if they ever catch on fire the best option is to push the jet of the carrier.
Sometimes they push em off before the fire, just to be extra safe
We really need to put more energy into battery development.
China did. It's called LFP. It's in like 80% of the EVs over there. It was invented in the '90s in USA.
Oh, and it doesn’t use cobalt. That’s nice
So they can burn even hotter? Hell yeah!!!
