The cyber truck is exactly what I would expect from someone whos only job experience is memes and shitposts. A rolling dumpster fire, mocked by everyone.

Eh, my kids think they're cool, so they have the K-6 market cornered.

No offense to your kids specifically, but children are dumb as fuck.

No offense taken. To them, being "different" is enough, unless "different" gets you bullied, facts just get in the way.

Kids aren't dumb, just inexperienced.

I WANT to give him that credit, but he's never made anything in his life.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

Made? Probably not. But I'm sure he's responsible for pushing them out onto the streets knowing what potentially dangerous garbage they are.

For like 3 hours, it was glorious as my friend group wondered what part of the Cybertruck could have spontaneously combusted.

Then video came out and there's colorful lights and we still weren't sure.

It took a official report before we accepted it was a car bomb.

All I read is the truck bed was filled with flammables. ' Is there a believable source for

A. Whether the driver started the fire or it was sparked on accident.

B. If it was not intentional, what was the actual target?

I actually, genuinely thought it was an accidental fire.

Speaks to the shit reputation those shit trucks deservedly have. But also how dumb of a location for an intentional fire.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

See that's the thing.

Is a trunk/bed full of fireworks and gas average cyber truck stupidity or a real lazy attempt at arson/terrorism.

I think it might have been more about the message a burning cybertruck, in front of a trump hotel, right by the trump sign, sends, than it was about the violence. Especially since the person is military trained and knew this wasn't going to go all OKC federal building.

The Delorean fan in me loves the asthetic and used to get jealous.

Cyber trucks being POS deathtraps that basically fall to pieces when you breath on them, their inability to do anything a normal truck can do, and the fact they make you bleed touching an door alleviated that completely.

So thanks for making them embarrassing junkers, Elon.

I almost agree with you, but the subtle changes made from the concept to reality make it not even look cool like it could've

My first thought was literally "was it a bomb or did the batteries ignite?"

"The future should look like the future." - Elon Musk

The cybertruck future looks like 1982's Blade Runner.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's highly insulting to Blade Runner, which had very stylish vehicles.

It looks like a shell on an El Camino in a straight-to-video 1980s Mad Max ripoff.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder 3 points 6 days ago

I'd been comparing them to the models for the Quake mod Quake rally some time, I actually went to verify that I was remembering Quake Rally correctly and now I have to stop because the 90s video game mod had higher poly counts.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Syd Mead should slap you in the face for saying that.

[–] TwoFacedJanus1968@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Hey, it was supposed to look bad. A dystopian future where the entire earth was basically a third world country where all the good stuff was manufactured for the off world colonies.
