    I saw one irl for the first time today. They’re baffling to look at.

    It looked wrong. It looks like a rendering error, or like someone put a car in that’s animated in a different style than the rest of reality. When you look at it you question if you’re living in the matrix because it looks like it doesn’t exist in our universe. Credit where credit’s due, it’s impressive they were able to make something look that strange.

      It's so much smaller in reality than it appears in photos. Like, barely SUV sized. I'm not advocating for large vehicles, but if you're so car brained that you want to get a truck, you wouldn't want the clown car version. Really a who is this for? scenario

      The corvette is better at it fording than the cybertruck https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a40195323/florida-corvette-driver-somehow-makes-it-through-flood-waters-up-to-windshield/

            I hate cars as a necessity. Nobody should NEED a car.

            That said as a hobby they are very fun. I've had 2 c4 corvettes and while extremely stupid, they were quite fun.

                My 84 was absolutely not the best corvette, it was utter dogshit but also very amusing. Made it look hella cool though. Black with a purple racing stripe and had the interior redone with that as well. For basically a worthless ass car lol.

                My 92 was extremely nice. 45k miles when I got it in 2017. Sold it 2 years later for film equipment and then the film industry died here. Rip.

    The amount of CYA language in the manual is fucking astonishing.

    The whole thing is apparently one big version of those stickers you see on the back of work trucks saying they aren't responsible for damage caused by unsecured loads flying out of the back of their vehicle.

    It would get you drummed out of court if you ever tried to argue it wasn't a completely hollow threat, but apparently that completely hollow threat is effective enough to justify their existence.

    Is the first page of the manual just "your problem now, sucker!"

      I think this lot might be for QA rejects. And considering the quality that gets passed at the Tesla factory, imagine what kinds of issues a vehicle would have to have to get rejected.

    Imagine spending $100k on a toy and the dealer doesn’t even have the courtesy to put up an inflatable dancing tube man, a glass building, and a refreshments. Literally just a trailer park in the middle of a dirt field lol

    do no put your vehicle in direct sunlight

    you know what? just don't put it anywhere.

    not indoors. not outdoors. under any atmospheric pressure but also do not expose to vacuum.

    don't expose to any ppm of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon, neon, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and especially not water vapor

    do not expose to sunlight or darkness. moonlight may also have deleterious effects

    do not expose to oxidizing environments or reducing environments

    do not expose to temperatures above 0 kelvin

    The manual actually says that?

    So basically the cyber truck is designed to be a museum piece?
