[OC]One of the only cybertrucks I’ve ever seen
You must log in or register to comment.
ive never seen a cybertruck irl in my life. im glad
There’s a store in my town with a branded one. Not that I ever planned on shopping there but now I definitely wont
I see them all the time in fucking Canada, but only on nice days since they can’t drive on ice
I get that it was in a wreck or something, but what the hell happened to its suspension!?
It has variable suspension. I suspect it is in its lowest position, on the bump stops
Even on the bump-stops, the edge of the wheel-well shouldn’t dig-in to the tire like that. These don’t look like after-market tires either
I think that’s been crushed in, normally the fender edge is outside the tyre edge. It looks like it was rolled
I’m no engineer but given that there’s soot marks I could imagine that a fire broke the seal on the hydraulics in the suspension. Or that the car was wedged into something, forcing the body down, and breaking the suspension.
Fire. Airbags pop in large fires. These stupid things have airbag suspension, literally the least reliable way to make suspension.
What - seriously? That’s pants-on-head levels of stupid!
So, perfectly on-brand for the WankerPanzer.
I gotta admit, it looks better now
Lucky you
I live in Vancouver and I have to see these rust buckets on a daily basis
In another 10 years they’ll be about as common on the road as 1973 Vegas with original engine.
First one i saw was abandoned on the beach, and flooded. Apparently one of the first things the owner had tried to do was drive on the beach, got down bellow the high tide line, and then gotten stuck. The local paper had a chronicle if the cars short lifespan up that evening, via user photos.
It had come over on the ferry that morning, illegally parked twice down town, once in a handicap spot, and once in a crosswalk, and made it out to the beach to get stuck by noon, and was scrap by 3pm. (I’m assuming, as by that point high tide would have happened, and its battery and engines would have been submerged by a foot or 2 in sea water)
It took a week or 2 fornthem to get it off the beach Apparently the one company that runs a beach capable tow truck had refused, not wanting to risk his vehicle on the fire hazard on wheels (especially when soaked)
Lucky. I’ve seen way too many. 3 in one place at a time once, even
Earlier this year I protested outside a Tesla dealership, and there were more Cybertrucks coming into the dealership on flatbeds, than there were visiting or passing on their own power.
I definitely saw several a day earlier in the year, now I don’t recall the last one I’ve seen.
It might also be reverse survivorship bias. Broken down cars tend to be freighted to workshops no matter brand. For Tesla the workshops just happen to be the dealerships.
Damn, fresh off the assembly line too!
I was honestly excited about these. The difference in looks, the possibility of capabilities, etc. Then nazelon happened and I turned the rest of the way from Tesla. The issues that these keep having make me laugh at the cost that these idiots pay, the poor capability off road make me love my Tacoma even more.
I see a surprising number of them around here, considering how expensive they are. The styling is what I’d imagine an 8 year old boy would come up with if you asked him to draw a car.
I would not be surprised if this is close to the truth. Straight lines are easier to draw so maybe that’s why Musk came up with this garbage design.

I envy you. I see them all the time in the SF bay area. Fortunately I’ve steadily been seeing them less and less often.
Lucky you, hopefully they all end up like this soon.
In its natural state, broken.
