Shit the Cybertruck cannot handle:

  • Being washed in the sun
  • Car washes while not in car wash mode
  • Bird poop
  • Tree sap
  • Oil
  • Grease
  • Insects
  • Road salt
  • Towing something over 100 miles
  • Pressing the accelerator or brake pedals too hard
  • Closing the “frunk” without chopping injuring people’s fingers/hands
  • Self-driving
  • Bullets
  • Fast-charging
  • Puddles
  • Fingerprints
  • Hail
  • Metal ball
  • More to be discovered….

How is this thing supposed to be used as a boat?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

Elon never promised it would have a boat mode. I mean he did but it was totally a joke or something. Like when he said the cyber truck would start at 30k. Really funny joke.

Well in all fairness has it been shown that it won't float yet?

You press 'upside down' mode on the screen, duh.

Ball bearings.

Wasn't rain one of them?

Don't forget dogs pissing on the tire.

Wait, is the fingers though true?

[–] qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.one 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I've seen at least two videos on Youtube where the hosts were telling other people in the video to watch their hands/fingers when it was closing. I'm guessing no one wants to try it. Oh, and there was that video where someone chopped a bunch of carrots with a Cybertruck, so there is something to this.

To be fair my little Civic could snap carrots if I close the trunk on it.

[–] qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.one 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Did your Civic cost ~$80k and was designed by some of the world's top engineers?

[–] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No to the first question and yes to the second. Got it specifically cause of its low price.

Honda does make some excellent motors.

They also look approachable from a home repair aspect. I drive a PT Cruiser Chrysler before and Jesus christ the motor was made for ants, I couldn't fit my hands anywhere and any repair needed other things removed that were in the way.
