the cyber truck will leave production in 3 years, and a Back to the Future reboot featuring a time traveling cyber truck will release in 2029
I was just going to post a thread about a Back to the Future reboot for the 40th anniversary next year, so fuck it, I'll just post my ideas here:
on board because there's no way he'd realize the joke is that his truck's a piece of shit just like the DeLorean.Hollywood, get in touch, you know this shit prints money.
"Hey Fred! It's me your cousin! Yeah, Bill Durst! You gotta listen to this!"
realize the joke is that his truck's a piece of shit just like the DeLorean.
A total of four recalls were issued by the factory to correct problems such as a sticking throttle
First as tragedy, then as farce.
this movie would make like a billion dollars and everyone will talk about it for months
In the dance scene at the end, Marty plays Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit.
Imo it's gotta be 100 gecs.
I've always thought the "your kids are gonna love it" line was weird. They're in 1955, even if their kids were born right that second, they would've been the same age as them in the early 70s. By that same logic, it has to be something more recent in 1995.
unless i'm missing something, the math on "your kids are gonna love it" checks out.
let's say the chronological age of appreciation for Eddie Van Hallen style is something like 15 - 25, so long as the listener is hearing it for the first time between the years 1974-1985, which is when Eddie Van Halen was in Van Halen and would exist in a world where crazy hair/glam metal shredding was beloved/cool in the music world.
If Cousin Marvin Berry (of Marvin Berry and the Starlighters) had a kid that was born between 1949 - 1970, it works. The actor playing Cousin Marvin was 31 at the time of the movie (1955), so if he had kids at any age between 25 and 46, it works.
but yeah, in a modern reimagining, the "wack music" would have to be something from today that people in the 1990s would have found too far out / unpartyable even when they were young, so like a skibidi toilet and kanye+grimes mashup
he's 3 years early for Johnny B. Goode (1958) so it's supposed to be pointing at a near-future but massive cultural change
Shit, if the movie was set in 1990 he could be playing Smells Like Teen Spirit 
Five years too late.
Obviously the Cybertruck is going to be the time machine
I can see like, maybe they in-universe lore explanation is something about the easily rusting outer material is better for time travel. But also, it might be offputting for the audience when they wonder "why is the time machine based on a leftover playstation-era 3D model asset?"
30 years ago was 1995, so tap into that millennial nostalgia with jokes about the information superhighway, PlayStation, Space Jam?
real estate prices, college tuition, living wages, malls still open, fewer tent cities, nobody knows what climate change is yet
also, guess doc brown can't have the libyans after him anymore, whoops

We didn't start the fire
They're gonna make it Iranians, just wait.
stop it 
why does nobody ever lathe anything good
The Lathe can only produce bad things
It would take a brave soul to throwselves into it to grind it to a halt
I predict the halting of the lathe 
I'd rather live believing that Musk would be [REDACTED] by some 17 year old neo-nazi mad about being banned on twitter or else someone trying to impress the 2020's equivalent of young Jodie Foster before that date
....Though I guess that still wouldn't preclude it from the AI script writer picking it as the quirky replacement car
Why not both? The cyber truck leaves production because gets got, and the rest continues as scheduled
Fuck I can totally see that happening
more likely there is a Breaking Bad reboot where instead of a Pontiac Aztek, the main character drives the cybertruck to reflect how pathetic and trying to be cool the guy is, which feeds into chasing drug kingpin status
No, the cybertruck must be reserved for this Better Call Saul character:
good call
Is that Colin Robinson from What We Do in the Shadows (TV)?
yes
Inshallah Zemeckis never dies, the lathe needs not touch this one.
I never have to worry about getting a fucking software update with a DeLorean
If you're forced into the horrors of car ownership, and you're not absolutely impoverished, is a DeLorean actually that bad? For anti-car enthusiasts like me, the DeLorean is merely known as the Cool Retro Time Travel Movie car, to most of us, especially the younger, it might not actually be clear they made a real car based on the movies. But if a DeLorean and a CyberTruck pool up at my street corner, I know which customer's car I'm hopping into.
The car in the movie malfunctions so often not only as a device for dramatic tension, but to realistically depict the experience of being in a delorean
Jerry Seinfeld drove one on an episode of comedians in cars getting coffee and it broke down and started smoking half way through. I think that’s a pretty typical experience with them.
I'd break down and start smoking if I had to spend any amount of time with Jerry Seinfeld too
I hate him so much. no one's ever fallen upwards more than Jerry Seinfeld. he's extremely unfunny, Curb Your Enthusiasm being essentially the same show as Seinfeld proves that the whole show was only good because of Larry David. he somehow got lucky enough to make the show during a time where you could make like a trillion dollars off of syndication deals. then after the show finishes, he comes up with the brilliant idea "hey I'll film myself in my expensive cars bullshitting with my friends" and that ended up being a major success for no reason too.
At least the DeLorean doesn't look goofy and stupid when looked at within its context.
Yeah, the DeLorean looks like a typical sports car of its time. Cybertruck looks out of place in all the eras.
wdym, it's clearly peak performance
Even this scathing comparison is pretty generous to the cybertruck.
The DeLorean had poor build quality, but I can't see any indications that it will trap you in water to drown, or stick down the accelerator, or break immediately after fording shallow water or going in a car wash. I believe it can also survive being wet in daylight, and doesn't need to be offline for hours at a time to update.
This car is known for being a death trap, if it flips you won't be able to break or open the windows and the doors are wing doors and need space above you to open them, also you need a special way of washing it
or stick down the accelerator pedal
They’re actually pretty famous for that

that DeLorean pic has to be from the 1980s, right? no way that many of them are around in one place today
What you do see is get it up to 58 miles per hour and then you can photograph whatever you want
There are a couple businesses that specialize in restoring them, could be one of those.
Whenever I hear about these lots with Teslas as far as the eye can see I wonder whether one of those 'charging port door' remotes would create like a physical representation of the remote's range. Like a wave of doors opening. Could be kinda cool to film with a drone.
IDK how tesla doors work, but in the drone footage, they're all denting each other, right?
They re not that big. It's the little charging port door. The Tesla equivalent of a fuel tank door. Flipper zero people do it all the time but you can do the same with like a $10 Arduino equivalent
