From Garbage Truck to Slop Taxi
Ah yes, the “gesture reminiscent of a Hitler salute”
Edit: To be very clear, it is a Hitler salute. I was mocking some German news sites that said it was only “reminiscent of one”.
It’s called the Nazi salute
No, it’s not. It’s Hitlergruß in German and that’s how I choose to say it.
But you didn’t say that on original comment
because I translated it 1:1?
Fair enough
This thing is The Homer, but if Homer watched back to the future and was a nazi.
From the first demo of the bullet proof glass shattering, it was obvious this was trash.
There’s a guy near me who drives one, he parks it next to the garbage dumpster and it fits in perfectly.
The Homer was fugly, but it was fun.
CyberDumpster is fugly, and lacks fun. Even if you take Muskrat’s politics out of the equation, the dumpster isn’t functional, and is outperformed by a Honda half its price.
There is someone who has one in my area and taking a look at him…he just looks like a guy who has always tried so painfully to be in the cool crowd, so he jumps first into new things, but just keeps failing. And, it’s very clear that he can’t do anything else with it because he dropped so much money on it and likely can’t afford to “trade-in” for half its value.
it was only ever released to pump the stocks, so he can had the 54bn pay package at the time.
CyberDumpster is fugly, and lacks fun.
Every aspect of its design is overtly hostile, both to its driver and passengers and everybody outside. It’s as if pure robotic hatred of all mankind was distilled into a pickup “truck”.
Fucking thing is knives on wheels. I book it wherever I see one, I don’t want them anywhere near me.
Are you kidding, the Homer had a domed windshield, two of them! … full 360 degree unobstructed view of the world … what does the cybertruck have? Angles! … The Homer was way ahead of its time
THE HOMER HAD A LA CUCARACHA HORN. BIG AUTO KILLED IT.
The first thing my grandpa did when we he bought a new car was install one of these lol
Also a siren. I don’t know why he wanted a siren so bad.
The CyberCab will have a horn that plays Kid Rock’s Bawtidaba.
Now I want a LA CUCARACHA horn for my vehicle
The Homer itself is full of practical decisions (see things well, keep the noisy kids away), my analogy is Homer knew nothing about car design, designed something nobody wanted, and the company invested so much into the idea it basically ruined them.
Racket pinion steering!
Not rackin peanut station?? Not buying it without the peanuts
The Simpsons predict the Cybertruck
bullet proof glass shattering
Bullet proof glass is supposed to shatter? That’s part of how it absorbs the energy from the bullets…
have you seen the demo? it was quite obvious they didn’t want it to shatter.
You can’t legally put shatterproof glass in a car. The side windows are designed to shatter to allow EMT rescue.
Musk engineers knew this, they were just too scared to tell him it was another fucking stupid idea.
Hey just wanted to comment about the EMT rescue part:
US sold vehicles can have laminated side windows that don’t shatter open, and it’s been a huge educational issue for years because people are using traditional window breakers on them in emergency situations and the tool won’t open them. It’s only gotten worse since that article, as auto manufacturers are installing more laminated side windows to prevent ejection during a rollover event.
Might want to check if your vehicle has them. Best list I could find was from 2019.
You can’t legally put shatterproof glass in a car.
???
Plenty of armored car makers do it every day.
That’s aftermarket specialty applications.
Do you want a car you cannot be removed from in case of accident or fire?
These ones don’t. Many people have died because fire fighters couldn’t break the glass.
Yeah, it seems more like he’s just doesn’t understand how bullet proof glass works and thought it means “indestructible”
It shattered from the power of Musk’s arm which means it probably won’t stop a bullet.
Lmao imagine being too disgusting for pedophiles; it doesn’t get any shittier than that!!
"Dear Elon,
Your constant inquiries have gone beyond annoying, so I’m going to give it to you straight: You will never be invited to my island.
Look, the truth is, you’re just too fucking weird. It’s hard enough to keep these girls in the game, pretending to enjoy sexing up these sweaty, fat old pigs, without some grotesque naked goblin prancing around, randomly emitting strange noises like a howler monkey with Tourette’s. You’ll scare the crap out of my kittens. They’re only little girls, after all.
I wish you well in your future endeavors, but lose my number.
Your friend,
Jeff"
He’s killing the dumpster Delorean right after those midterms. Curious…
Imagine what getting replacement parts for that “truck” will be now.
Same for the models X and S. The S was actually a decent car. Sucks to own one now.
I’m not getting in one of those. I will walk. No thank you.
If you get in and it perceives you as the wrong shade, does it automatically lock and deliver you to a detention centre?
It explodes like JohnnyCab.
This Cyberremoved needs to go to jail
Thanks, but I already have a Samsung fridge.
And he still found a way to make luxury cars from the future tacky.
No thanks.
Are there any official sales numbers? My guess would be about 10k.
I heard they produced 750K, and sold 100K.
Can’t wait to read the same headline for the Robo Taxi and androids.
