One of the only cybertrucks I've ever seen

Nah, it was just a late summer day with middling humidity

And unlike the Millennium Falcon, the garbage will not do.

She's worth .5 of the original price. At most.

I wish I could go back to those days when these things were rare where I live.

I see like 10 a day. I work in an enclave city for the uberrich where the average new home being built costs what I make in a century (and I make pretty good money money), so we've got lots of them.

I've seen a bunch getting paint jobs. The matte black ones look like what scifi Nazi gestapo would drive, but all of the paint jobs look better than the bare metal. There's a brushed-gunmetal one that I think is a pretty attractive compared to the rest. The vehicle is still ugly, but it's less-ugly with a good paint job.

Yeah, I know that the super-flat planar look was the intent, but there's a reason why you don't see much in the real world that resembles the cybertruck. It turns out that the non-planar features of typical car panels are there to add rigidity. Flat sheet metal wants to bend, twist, wave, and even flap in the wind. So there are probably internal supports or struts welded to the panel backsides, in order to keep them flat. Problem is, that process tries to distort the panels due to heat from manufacturing.

And since they opted for stainless, this adds additional problems. In this case: you can't hide imperfections with bondo and paint. The panels have to be perfect, every time. It requires tolerances that belong on a sports car, not a pickup.

Yes, all the little wobbles stick out and they always look dirty. And while other Teslas can look nice with a wrap, for some reason CTs with a wrap look extra plasticky

Can't see what, the fire damage?

Hah! First one I was over near Holt off I-10. Honestly, it seemed pretty cool, guy had some low-key black graphics on it. But after seeing the fail-train these things are, they can't look cool to me anymore.

Also, I'm practical with my purchases, or try to be. I have a beat up 2004 F150 that actually runs, can get wet and hauls 5x what a Cybertruck can. I get buying stuff for the cool factor, but what's the use case here?!

It was always, shall we say, polarizing, but the production version managed to nudge every iffy design note in the concept car in the wrong direction. It ends up looking less Mass Effect and more like a Pontiac Aztek in DeLorean cosplay.

I see them a lot and am still shocked at how bad they look.

I think the design is neat, though wildly impractical. And "impractical" doesn't begin to cover the engineering and manufacturing flaws. Impractical, fragile and falling apart day-1? Sign me up!

Figure they'll be like Deloreans some day, a few monied collectors keeping them going for nostalgia.

Never had any love for the man, never cared, but if you haven't seen this video, heysus christos, this tells you all you need to know about Musk in a few short seconds.

Musk drew up the original sketch for the cyber truck on his notebook in class when he was 7.

It came off the assembly line cyber fucked

So it's authentic you're saying?

My nephew has one, it actually works pretty well and we've played with it a ton.

They drove it over the curb, through a fence, across a golf course, and into the water hazard by the 12th hole.

Nah I'm just kidding. It just hit a speed bump at 15 mph in a light rain.

It comes with a cuck? Sign me up

Guess we will find out in the next video.
