There once was a beach in Nantucket

With a car that was built like bucket

[-] cmhickman358@hexbear.net 44 points 6 months ago

As the owner suntanned

His truck sank in the sand

[-] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 37 points 6 months ago

So he walked away saying "fuck it"

Wheels stuck in the sand,

His dick in his hand,

Thanking Elon Musk for the bucket.

Edit: just realized it says ‘beach’ not ‘man’, ow well.

Highly unplanned

The car's stuck in the sand

And now there's no way to unfuck it

[-] roux@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago

Salt water made it rusty as fuck.

Chuds say " I still love this truck."

[-] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 55 points 6 months ago

Ah yes, contributing to the cyberpunk aesthetic by leaving rusty shitboxes in random locations

Two hundred years in the future, a young synth stumbles upon it while scanning the beach with a metal detector, looking for bitcoins. That's a common misconception of what a bitcoin was, but to be fair, he's just a kid.

Lol why would you drive this thing on sand, it weighs like 7 tons.

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 44 points 6 months ago

Car batteries into the sea at the next level

[-] bleepbloopbop@hexbear.net 15 points 6 months ago

those are gonna be some spicy eels

I look forward to a follow up tweet...

Beached Tesla now suffering issues. Body discoloration do to minimal exposure of salt at the beach. Mobility issues apparently due to minimal exposure of sand. Also - apparently any activity on on sand near salt water is not covered by the warranty.

[-] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 46 points 6 months ago

“still love the truck, though”

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 25 points 6 months ago

Future tweet by the owner?...

Mr. Musk, sir - I am a real estate agent who typically uses the Cybertruck to commute. (It's super awesome by the way. And my clients love it.) I did use it on the beach the other day for fun and I had some problems. I learned they aren't covered by the warranty? Is is possible to... [wish casting for 200+ words then @ elon @ tesla @ etc]

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 38 points 6 months ago

The eels are going to dine like royalty when the tide rolls in.

[-] DerRedMax@hexbear.net 32 points 6 months ago

Driven this and other beaches on Cape Cod. Doesn’t look like the driver aired down the tires. This is a must for driving on sand there.

The Hummer, as awful as it was, had an auto deflate and inflate feature. Something you’d expect from a six figure off roader.

The pleebs would have to go out and stick a key into the valve and then drive to the first air compressor when you get back on the road.

Probably doesn’t have a physical key. Doubt he has one of those 50¢ tire gauges that have a nub on the back. Shit, the car probably won’t even let you put it in drive if you have less than 10 psi in the tires.

had an auto deflate and inflate feature

See now that's the sort of cool shit I would expect in hyper advanced modern cars, not "don't let it get wet or it'll rust" or "don't stick your fingers in the boot or it'll chop them off automatically."

[-] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 31 points 6 months ago

Voided the warranty by being in the same area code as salt water.

[-] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 25 points 6 months ago

Remember when internet nerds thought that CyberTruck would become a car used by the Cartel for dumbass reasons?

Hilux 300 points

Cybertruck -7

[-] Wolfman86@hexbear.net 21 points 6 months ago

So they’re worth the money if you like off roading then?

my-hero "Look not everything about the Cybertruck is negative. See, this is a good quote, "once you go Cybertruck, you...never go back".

nerd "But Sir, isn't the whole quote "once you go Cybertruck, you can never go back because your 7-ton fridge is stuck, or updating, or broken, or-"

[-] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 6 months ago

Once you go cybertruck you never go back home because you're stuck on a beach.

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 19 points 6 months ago

the guy crushing his finger in the trunk after being told it was updated for safety is the funniest shit ever

then he was told by the devs "you are doing it wrong" and explained to him that the trunk will close on something even if there is a blockage if it is told to close enough times

yes, they bypass the safety if the owner is persistent enough

[-] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 19 points 6 months ago

Ah Capitalism. Clearly inventing a truck that cannot go on sand was the pinnacle of genius. Lots of apparent demand a low-eye-queue dork like me could not see.

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago

Cybertrucks only do this when they're extremely upset!

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 10 points 6 months ago

Isn't this the one that got stuck last week?

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I wonder what would combination of sand and salt water do to it.

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

Isn't it a four wheel drive!? Did sand kick up into the battery and break it?

[-] SwitchyWitchyandBitchy@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

Four wheel drive doesn't mean it won't get stuck. Especially when driving one of the heaviest cars you can buy today on sand.
