I think you have the causation order wrong here

It's not like Herr Elon forces ordinary people to be stupid

Stupid people like him, buy Tesla vehicles, and predictably do dumb shit.

As his cult of personality has unraveled, or shifted to purely appealing to the worst reactionaries you can find, it basically filtered out any not complete dumbasses who originally may have supported Tesla. Now the remaining supporters are perfectly algorithmically selected for being the most annoying, prone to stupid behavior type of people out there.

Anyway, I need to see a video of some hog driving his brand new off the lot Tesla truck into water that covers the hood. I need to know if the car will explode. For science.

It's the new status symbol for people with fuck you money.

It's also marketed as being "rugged" despite getting stuck in situations a Trabant could manage.

I’d take a Trabant 601 Universal over one of those tin can lookin things any day.

Didn't they had a production of 3800 cybertrunk in total?

Lmao, if they where a living animal they would be considered an endangered specie.

Cybertrucks do love backing up to poodles to drown its owners there

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 25 points 6 months ago (1 children)

maybe they get thirsty? need a cool drink to cool down that battery??

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

The cyber truck needs to throw it's batteries in the ocean, it heard the siren song of the electric eels who want to be recharged.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

"poodles"

It’s an amphibious exploring vehicle

Buying a cyber truck is very strong evidence that you have poor decision-making abilities

God, what a stupid looking car

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Looks like something made of Lego.

[–] reallyzen@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Don't insult Lego

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 6 months ago

I wouldn't dare to, but I am weirded out by a lego looking car driving around in reality.

Musky probably drew it on a napkin and his servants either took it literally because they unironically think he's a genius, or they were too afraid of him having a tantrum and destroying their lives so they just went with it.

The drunken fratbro mode for Full Self Driving doesn't quite work as expected, would've preferred if it went headfirst and would've flipped the vehicle. Hopefully they'll make it more authentic with the next patch!

Still love the truck tho!

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

they were trying to prove their loyalty by doing a boat mode reel

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago

too bad the boat mode doesn't come with a "easing the boat down a ramp" mode

[–] porcupine@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 6 months ago

money poisoning

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago

It's basically a self selection bias. The type of person that has both the financial means and want to buy a cyber truck is bound to do stupid shit with it.

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

this is a combination of people who like tesla enough to buy a cybertruck being dumbasses combined with people who buy a cybertruck never having owned or driven a truck in their lives so they don't have a realistic expectation of what they're capable of

I say this as someone who got a 4x4 extremely stuck in a position very much like this when I was 18, at about 1AM, with four other guys riding with me. We at least had the sense to be doing this stupid shit within walking distance of a friend's dad's tractor, so it wasn't a serious problem.

edit: oh also this is probably a result of the stupid things not having "lockers" despite it just being a question of a software update

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I didn't know they come in black. What a fugly car.

[–] JayTwo@hexbear.net 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They don't.
The owner paid extra to wrap it.

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago

Voided the warranty right before taking a drink from the pond. Darn

[–] musicpostingonly@hexbear.net 10 points 6 months ago

Riverbank to the left of the truck looks messed up. Looks to me like the might have been driving along the waters edge, tried to turn left to get out of the area and the rear end followed gravity and swung down, pointing them how they are now.

[–] NoLeftLeftWhereILive@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

I think that the type of people who would buy this car come with a level of unseriousness that would raise the likelyhood of doing stuff like this, so there might be a causation there.

Milord hath decreed all rivers be forded by way of Cyberwagon! you-are-a-serf

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago

It's supposed to be able to go off-road. A river is off-road. Therefore, it should work!

[–] poppy_apocalypse@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago

Is that the front that's in the drink, or the back? I honestly can't tell.
