Safer for pedestrians, in the nihilistic sense that they at least won’t survive the hit I guess?
Lmao that piece of tin could never
Ok I know this thing is old news and we should all be past the initial shock of Elon doing something very Elon again.
But still…WHY THE FUCK IS IT SO UGLY?
Beauty is subjective.
…but ugly is universal.
It’s not a person honey, it’s a tin can on wheels sold by a pedo nazi.
Not in this case it’s not
And the red neck doesn’t give one single fuck about the deer, or seem to realize it would do the same to a person at half speed.
Most rednecks would see that as a significant selling point, and still not buy it cuz it’s electric
Elon Musk lies.
That is, like Trump he deliberately and wittingly deceives. Compare Cybertruck will be much safer per mile than other trucks, both for occupants and pedestrians. with I am the most transparent president in history.
Those lies extend to his outrageous space and industry goals like mars colonies and space-based data centers. Or the hyperloop.
He probably sees it as salesmanship the way Trump sees his own lies as the art of the deal.
And when Musk denies the death toll of DOGE ending USAID, he’s lying to himself.
Holy shit how are these still legally drivable?!
Because Elon Musk funded the political campaign of a pedophile.
He’s also a pedophile himself so it comes full circle
The hilarious part is that is was too uncool for the other pedos, but that he was begging to be one
Everything is terrible
They’re not, in Europe. Lucky bastards.
Oh so thats why I havent seen these things! I was just hoping my countrymen had taste.
I wish all of us had taste, RAMs and DODGEs even existing on our roads proves otherwise, those blowhards would buy a cybertruck too if they could
Sadly, they are. What you can purchase and what you can legally drive are governed by different rules. In the EU, a vehicle doesn’t necessarily need to have EU type approval to be imported and registered.
That’s why you can, find non-EU-spec vehicles on European roads. For example, red rear indicators, even though EU-approved vehicles generally require amber indicators.
The process is tedious, and there may be modifications involved, but nothing outright prevents you from getting a Cybertruck individually approved and driving it legally on EU roads. I know of 5 or so cases, where somebody jumped through those hoops.
Elon musk is a Nazi
Also he looks like he’s turning into a potato.
We could double the human population with cyber trucks!
Oh snap
there is a guy who lives about 2 miles away from me that owns one. I used to see his truck around, and see it while I was out walking parked in his driveway. I stopped seeing it for a few months. Then I was walking by when I saw him outside doping something in his yard and asked what happened to his truck. He said it was too much trouble, I said yeah, i heard they have some serious issues on the news. he replies “On top having to take it to the shop almost once a month motherfuckers just kept vandalizing the thing. It just was not worth owning.”
It’s a thought that makes me smile.
For a car supposedly made of steel, that’s an awful lot of plastic.
Oh jeez. Marketing got the advertisement all wrong. Here, let me fix that.
it is made
oftosteelsteal money from idiots.Here we go
Built like the finest midgrade consumer laptops
It has a cast aluminum frame too I think
The entire subframe is aluminium, and as a result known for collapsing if you try to tow with it.
It’s a boxy slab of shite is what it is.
Isn’t the stainless steel like glued on or something? I swear they’re only panels. If not, please correct me
Yes there was a huge scandal that the glue was wrong, so the panels fell off at high speeds. 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, it’s glued
Very safe for pedestrians where I live as no one in their right mind would even consider imagining thinking about buying one even if they weren’t banned and didn’t look like a wheeled skip, therefore no pedestrians are at risk.
Can confirm: Two halves of a deer are safer for pedophiles!
I’m honestly surprised any of those things are still running.
One of the many reasons this death machine is banned in Europe
Regardless, there is a very large number of people trying their best to import it and finding a loop-hole to put these monstosities on the road.
I’ve never actually seen one in the Netherlands. Plenty of absurdly big pickups, but not a cybertruck
And hopefully it will never happen.
I listened to a supposed car collector saying how he is planning to import one and legalize it under the gize of being a private museum piece. Supposedly, such cars get a special license and insurance, and are permitted to circulate from one show to another.
Hopefully, it gets returned at the border.
I do historical reenactment, so I know an above average number of people with… interesting vehicles.
You can own any vehicle you want, as long as you don’t use it on the open road. Making a ww2 willys jeep street legal isn’t too hard, since its historical. Anything from before the 1960s doesn’t need to meet pretty much any safety standards other than “have lights and brakes”.
But the cyberstuck isn’t from before then, and would need to meet safety standards. Only some of the requirements can be waived for special reasons, but not all of them. There’s one semi-famous story of a group who couldn’t get their “ww2-ified” 1970’s M5 halftrack approved for the road because it’s insufficiently historical, so they had to install 3-point seatbelts and such. Technically, a 1940’s M3 halftrack could be approved, to they basically bought a chassis from one, and made the M3-of-Thesseus, where they basically kept the chassis plate, and replaced everything else. So now it’s oficially a 1940’s halftrack, with 99.95% 1970’s parts.
I don’t think that works for a cybertruck.
Hopefully, it does not.
There is exactly one way to put it on the road and that is: sitting on the back of an actually street-legal truck.
Considering the size of it, it would be a monstrosity atop another.
Can’t be a normal tow truck, you need the big guns for that thing.
Image allegedly from Germany.
Tell me it is going headed to the recycling center.
Maybe they are taking it back to Norway (where they are street-legal, thus Norwegians can drive them into the EU)
Not norwegian but regardless… Ouch!
I think that’s wonderful, honestly. Europeans should also have the opportunity to enjoy lighting one on fire.
I’m better amused with your nick. How difficult is it to catch one?
Okay I know this dumpster is made out of hard angles, but do they really expect us to believe that it sliced anything in half?
I’m thinking sliced is probably not quite what happened…
But… ya know… it sounds better than some asshat hit a deer in a CyberFuck® for like the 500th time.
Kinda hard to describe just how soft a fleshy being is and how little of a sharp edge you need to cut something when the knife is travelling at 70mph
While they didn’t exactly anime style bisect the deer, I’m sure that it was pretty sliced up after being hit by a bin shaped wedge of poor design.
Not to flog a dead deer but you seem to be describing getting hit by a truck.
How they got away without the standard 10MPH crash bumpers on the thing remains a mystery, but I doubt it would have helped the poor deer.
Maybe one of those cute little Asian deer could have ducked, but anything else is basically a pile of venison.
Speed and mass can turn most angled surfaces into a knife
The hood is literally a massive steel knife blade.
I suddenly realize that I’ve never actually been close enough to, or paid attention to pictures of one of these stupid things to see that. I’ve only ever seen like 3 of them in the wild.
Look at the video. The hood is two steel blades that meet at their edges, traveling at 75mph.
It’s literally made of knives
I fucking bail if there’s one even near me. They’re knives on wheels and that’s only one of many issues that make it a death trap for people inside or outside of it.
I’ll just call the police if I see one, because there’s no way it’d be road legal here in the EU lmao
I’m not sure if NATO personnel in Belgium can bring this shit here: they can drive their US registered car without issues because I’ve seen quite a few cars with US plates (and only on the rear) in that area.
