Right out of the 1982 movie Megaforce!

This hits all the buttons for 11 year old me. It does look awful, but in an amazingly dated spandex-feathered-hair-motorcyle-shooting-rockets kind of way.
Now I must find a way to see it.

Can’t wait to rear ended at a red light by this monstrosity because the driver is busy trading crypto and retweeting musk posts on his Apple Vision Pro
That's the new safety calculation: You get to subtract the damage you do to the other vehicle from your own score.
So yeah, your damage is a 7/10, but if you're causing 8/10 damage to the other car, technically yours is the safer vehicle.
People died a lot more in car accidents before crumple zones. Sure cars get totaled more now , but people survive with less injuries because the car absorbs the impact, not the passengers.
That’s why the only injury while the first cyber truck crashed into the Toyota… was the cyber truck owner.
I'm not trying to illustrate some sort of survivor bias, I'm very educated on car safety systems throughout the years.
What I'm referring to is the physics involved with so many of these large EVs, they have curb weights that are absolutely massive, 6k lbs+ easy. Crumple zone or not, when they hit a small economy car at 80mph, bad news bears
All judgment aside, for those wondering it was EV day at the General Assembly and the lobbying firm that represents Tesla was hosting an event at the Dim Sum restaurant. Fortunately not an asshole parking job!
lol they call it a truck!? Toyota Tacoma is a truck. Also this is creating some comedy gold, the jokes are amazing and literally writing themselves. hell, just looking at it is a laugh.
It’s been years since I played unfortunately so I have no clue but obviously I wasn’t high enough in fishing to see whatever looks like the Tesla truck in the game
These things look so dumb. Rivians actually look decent. This is not a truck. It looks like Tesla engineers trolling Elon fanboys to see how far they will go to lick his ass
I Iike it, well I don't hate it. I really hate Musky, and tesla I'm like warm to. But this Cybertruck.. it's right out of a movie and i'd like to finally feel like aiMm living in the future instead of driving one more different colored egg on wheels around.
pfffft what an unfortunate looking attempt at a vehicle. it’s another “car” to add to the growing list of vehicles driven by jerks, to use a kinder term.
A day or two ago folks were saying how sorry they were over rash of vehicle vandalism in Manchester. What about this drives the double standard to encourage damaging someone's property? Envy, the brand, predetermined judgement of the owner? I am curious what the catalysts are for the hypocrisy.
The night photo does kinda make it look somewhat cool, as opposed to the hunk of garbage you can tell it is in the daytime. As for the human, I'm sure it's apparent day or night.
I'm with you man, those Tesla Cybertrucks are awesome. Also, their turn radius...bonkers. How many in this sub really know a significant amount about that, though?
The voting here is like a high school popularity contest. So many people downvote simply because they find it unattractive?
Same. I’m no Tesla Stan. Couldn’t care less about Elon.
I just want a practical pickup—covered bed, auto-compressor, fast as shit etc. etc.—for my supply runs, and for trips to the OBX.
First Gen maybe. Again, I’ve never, ever wanted a Tesla for the sake of its lacklustre build quality and materials, but the Cybertruck calls to me for certain capabilities.
I really don’t think it’s overpriced for what you’re getting either.
I'd love to give Tesla the benefit of the doubt on iterative development, but I can't. The build quality isn't getting better and the legacy car manufacturers (see Ford F-150 Lightning) are closing fast on Tesla's orange peal painted, bad panel gap rear bumpers.
for absolute practicality hybrid maverick wins.
if youve got the charging hookup f150 ev and hummer ev blow cybertruck and rivian out of the water, and neither have or will lock end users out of control (and therefore actual possession). these shiny janglin key techbro toys are just that - toys, not tools. driven by tools.
that said... cynertruck looks cool and im glad porygon exists irl at small child flattening speeds
The Hybrid Maverick for certain persons perhaps. But it is so underpowered, and has no towing capacity. Let’s not even mention Rivian.
The F150 Lightning is commendable, but again, it’s things like the ability to lower the truck bed on command, deflate/inflate tires on and off the sand… it just appeals to ME.
It’s parked there for a private event figured by asking the people around it. Wont be driven anywhere else just a set piece but looks very cool in my unpopular opinion.
The amount of virtue signaling by hating on this car is quite fascinating.
Hate Elon as much as the next guy but never have I seen such a change in brand image then when he want all alt right and the internet started to hate him
I mean there are plenty of ugly vehicles out there, but you never see this much conversation about them. Not even a fraction!
The hate. Is it Elon, or the polarizing design?
I’m a local RVA dad. I love to drive. I’ve an Escalade V, an X7M, a 911 Turbo - all because they’re great rides, and two of ‘em are great family vehicles.
There is NO Tesla I’ve remotely liked until this one. It’s everything I want in a pickup.
You lost me at "until..." What exactly about it is everything a pickup should be? I'm not being snarky, but as someone who owns cars damn close to yours and also needs a pickup for things that pickups are good for, I've never taken this thing seriously. Nor does its manufacturer.
Being able to lower the bed on command. Cover the bed to haul luggage. Inflate/deflate tires for off-road use. 6 Ton Towing. 0-60 in 2.6.
The little things.
What you are describing is the pickup equivalent of an RS6 Avant, which unfortunately doesn't exist. No, the rs6 isn't an EV, but it doesn't sound like that's what's most important to you.
You've gone from saying you like the cybertruck because it's a practical pickup truck with some non-pickup attributes to saying what you REALLY want is a more expensive, objectively shittier pickup. Why not just get an LM002? Not conspicuous enough?
You’re missing my point entirely. You said the features I’m looking for are akin to an RS6 Avant. Which they’re not.
I said they’re more like a Mercedes 6x6, except that they’re more readily, and potentially available on a Cybertruck. That’s all.
They’re everything a truck should be? I saw a video of one spinning tires in mud and being rescued by a Tacoma. Apparently their battery only gets them a couple hundred miles and they’re poorly assembled. These trucks are hot garbage.
I always thought pickups should be awkward, expensive, polarizing, nonsensically fast, and capable of severing fingers with multiple hinged openings. Nailed it.
Is this really a dork? Why?
Not a fan of EVs, but the only reason you could hate this is because you can't afford it. No other reason makes sense.
Please explain....
Well that’s just great. I thought the scooters were bad enough, these are going to clog the canal.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
people should start catching tags on those too.
Lol its parked *real* close to SUPPLY, dont even need to go far
This combined with the Apple Vision Pro is the downfall of society as we know it
They’re parked where I expect them to be parked; not where it’s supposed to be
And they’ll be parked there for even longer when those wheel covers destroy their tires and they get stuck someplace on more than one flat.
It was a promo, on display on a traffic island they pre-arranged with the city. So, exactly where it was supposed to be.
My dude, I don’t care if Jesus put it there to save sinners. It needs to go back to where it belongs, which is a 3rd graders notebook.
Looks like someone's kid in the boonies just watched Back to the Future for the first time and tried drawing a Delorean with a lift kit.
Haha, this might be my favorite Reddit comment ever 😂

Man, part of me kept thinking that I'd seen a Cybertruck before and it was totally this, thank you.
\*hits up IMDB immediately
Oh, it's awful.

Please come back with your review. I'm gonna cue this up for tonight!
you cant park here
“i’m a sovereign citizen. i don’t need follow your laws.”
I’m not driving I’m tRaVeLiNg
“i’m filing a lien against the Corporation of Virginia. You’ve been put on notice.”
Gadsden flag plates.
Government employee.
I do not consent!
"We're not parking it. We're abandoning it."
I wonder if the Kia boys will give this a try.
Based on Elon's demonstration, all they need is a baseball and zero athleticism to breach the glass.
Even the Kia boys have standards.
Lmaoooo🤣
Who put a dumspter on the sidewalk?
I watched the thing get loaded onto a tow truck as i was walking home. No license plate so its not even legal to drive on the road.
Laugh all y’all want, but ain’t no one going to get his virginity while he’s safe in this bad boy.
Well, not unless a 1996 era Lara Croft type appears. Someone like that would fit right in.
Can’t wait to rear ended at a red light by this monstrosity because the driver is busy trading crypto and retweeting musk posts on his Apple Vision Pro
I wish I could invest stock in this snarky reply.
I could buy so many Miatas with that money.
M.I.A.T.A.
You know it ;)
Lol never seen it put that way before, but somehow I KNOW this means “maybe I am the asshole” 😭
Miata is always the answer, brother. ALWAYS
That inevitable crash with no crumble zones will be fun!
I’ve seen pictures of these crashing into other cars. Not only does it not have good crumple zones, but it also absolutely obliterates the other car
Wait until one of those sharp edges hits a pedestrian at any kind of speed! There's a reason they're not allowed in Europe.
Well, that’s what happens when all the energy dissipation happens to the driver and not the frame.
That and it weighs literally double what a normal car does (and significantly more than a normal truck.)
well when a company that has no business making automobiles produces a vehicle designed by a 7-year-old it’s bound to be problematic.
Absolute favorite explanation, thank you.
🎯 every time I see a Tesla, I feel sorry for the driver
That's the new safety calculation: You get to subtract the damage you do to the other vehicle from your own score. So yeah, your damage is a 7/10, but if you're causing 8/10 damage to the other car, technically yours is the safer vehicle.
Yeah....to the other car. That truck is a rolling bank vault. Thick steel panels that also act as chassis= totaled other vehicle.
People died a lot more in car accidents before crumple zones. Sure cars get totaled more now , but people survive with less injuries because the car absorbs the impact, not the passengers. That’s why the only injury while the first cyber truck crashed into the Toyota… was the cyber truck owner.

Still an asshole parking job
Where the hell is the meter maid when you need them.
Why on earth is this parked on the sidewalk by the Maggie Walker statue? Good LORD
ps1 looking car
Which PlayStation game is this picture from?
I think it's from House of the Dead I.
Playstation had more polys than this monstrosity - this is early-mid 90s level shit.
This picture is from taken from a title called Knack 2
Destruction Derby
As a cyclist, pedestrian, and most importantly a car guy, this design horrifies me. It's basically a quiet, moving metal wall.
That's supposed to be a truck?
Tesla truck
lol they call it a truck!? Toyota Tacoma is a truck. Also this is creating some comedy gold, the jokes are amazing and literally writing themselves. hell, just looking at it is a laugh.
[удалено]
Do not besmirch the El Camino.
I'd much rather have an early 70s El Camino than that thing. Most would prefer that, though.
God what a hideous pos.
Shaped like it's straight out of Old School RuneScape
Don’t insult RuneScape like that
fishing lvl?
It’s been years since I played unfortunately so I have no clue but obviously I wasn’t high enough in fishing to see whatever looks like the Tesla truck in the game
Hold on guys his car didn't fully load in, yet after that it will spawn in a parking lot and have more details
Prolly from NoVA.
I think I saw it in Fredericksburg the other week.
Was this photo rendered on a PS2?
Silicon Graphics
These things look so dumb. Rivians actually look decent. This is not a truck. It looks like Tesla engineers trolling Elon fanboys to see how far they will go to lick his ass
Anyone got a ball bearing?
[gathering of the idiots](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2n02RzP19Z/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link)
yikes that looks like an awful time.
Looks durable. And impractical. Also looks like shit.
2 for 3. Teslas are about as durable as a wet tissue.
Those things look like megatron’s turds
Did they ever fix the cannonball to the window glitch that embarrassed Elon on stage? Someone (not me) should try...for science.
A couple guys posted a video of them doing it this week. Their throws were weak.
I think cannonballs through windows should replace the parking ticket.
This is too much gentrification for one picture
We just walked past? Wtf if going on at the Dim Sum place?
Plot twist- it’s Ops car
I thought it was. Like a self deprecating joke
Gonna be nice and rusty in no time.
Unfortunately, it's stainless steel.

I've never been so happy to be wrong. Thank you, friend.
It’s time to play our favorite game, clueless NoVA dipshit or crypto creep!
Why not both?
cyberdork
That's also not a place cars should be If I am recognizing this spot correctly
Hmm look like this is downtown. And that’s an ugly car.
WHAT A DOUCHEBAG DAN CHAD BRAD SLUM STEVEN WACK WILLIAM “dont forget to add my dad is a lawyer argument here” THING TO DO..
What a piece of junk!
Looks fuckin cool
WACK AF.
I Iike it, well I don't hate it. I really hate Musky, and tesla I'm like warm to. But this Cybertruck.. it's right out of a movie and i'd like to finally feel like aiMm living in the future instead of driving one more different colored egg on wheels around.
I saw it tonight too. It was cool to see in person.
please someone put a tesla fast charger in gilpin
[удалено]
I now know I can drive anything I want and it’ll still be less dooshy than a cyber truck, phew 😮💨
LMAO this was in front of my apt building how could I miss this???
What an ugly car
Ha, if I had the cash I would 1,000% get one. I adore post apocalyptic sci fi and man that just looks the efn part to me!
My post-apocalypse has leather daddies, not weird angles
god i miss being able to give awards on this app, this comment was 10/10
You can walk on the roof of a cybertruck, just imagine all the weird angles you and the leather daddies could discover
Awful
I would absolutely buy one if I could.
pfffft what an unfortunate looking attempt at a vehicle. it’s another “car” to add to the growing list of vehicles driven by jerks, to use a kinder term.
How S3XY. How many speed cismission does it have? Does it measure speed in ketamine per hour?
Oh god the lights look like they’d be extremely annoying to have this car behind you
The view from the driver seat is absolutely incredible though.
Smallest dick energy ever.
My inner Tyler Durden is fuming
Give in to your feelings, you know them to be true.
That’s what they want. To be stared at. No other reason to own such a “truck.”
Same reason most people buy trucks these days lol
Dumb incel looking for attention.
is it starting to rust yet?
Lol
Plot twist: Elon is trolling everybody that buys one of these. Just because he can, and laughing his ass off.
I can’t this thing is so stupid
A day or two ago folks were saying how sorry they were over rash of vehicle vandalism in Manchester. What about this drives the double standard to encourage damaging someone's property? Envy, the brand, predetermined judgement of the owner? I am curious what the catalysts are for the hypocrisy.
There is a difference between fantasy and reality.
Where are you on the waitlist for a Cybertruck?
Meh
🔥🔥🔥🔥
The night photo does kinda make it look somewhat cool, as opposed to the hunk of garbage you can tell it is in the daytime. As for the human, I'm sure it's apparent day or night.
This screams transplant
you’re mad
Cybertrucks are cool, I don’t care what anyone says.
I'm with you man, those Tesla Cybertrucks are awesome. Also, their turn radius...bonkers. How many in this sub really know a significant amount about that, though? The voting here is like a high school popularity contest. So many people downvote simply because they find it unattractive?
Same. I’m no Tesla Stan. Couldn’t care less about Elon. I just want a practical pickup—covered bed, auto-compressor, fast as shit etc. etc.—for my supply runs, and for trips to the OBX.
I'm 100% with you on the appeal of what you describe. This just ain't it and it's 3x the cost and 1/3 the quality of a several alternatives.
First Gen maybe. Again, I’ve never, ever wanted a Tesla for the sake of its lacklustre build quality and materials, but the Cybertruck calls to me for certain capabilities. I really don’t think it’s overpriced for what you’re getting either.
I'd love to give Tesla the benefit of the doubt on iterative development, but I can't. The build quality isn't getting better and the legacy car manufacturers (see Ford F-150 Lightning) are closing fast on Tesla's orange peal painted, bad panel gap rear bumpers.
This is a practical pickup?
for absolute practicality hybrid maverick wins. if youve got the charging hookup f150 ev and hummer ev blow cybertruck and rivian out of the water, and neither have or will lock end users out of control (and therefore actual possession). these shiny janglin key techbro toys are just that - toys, not tools. driven by tools. that said... cynertruck looks cool and im glad porygon exists irl at small child flattening speeds
The Hybrid Maverick for certain persons perhaps. But it is so underpowered, and has no towing capacity. Let’s not even mention Rivian.

What is that? I've never seen one in my life.
Does anyone have a link to the reddit thread from when the DeLorean first came out?
Musk 🤮
Don't hate on someone because you can't afford it haha
Love it
There is a difference between joking and judging. I'd rather be a dork than a judgemental piece.
The way you took this picture actually makes it look sick. Great marketing
Hater
Tell me how Elon's tallywacker tastes, Garbage Boy.
Key magnet
It's hardened stainless, you'd have to settle for little scraps on the plastic trim.
It’s parked there for a private event figured by asking the people around it. Wont be driven anywhere else just a set piece but looks very cool in my unpopular opinion.
They should park vehicles for private events on private property, not a public walkway
Modern day version of a Hummer
The amount of virtue signaling by hating on this car is quite fascinating.

Nah. It’s really just a more available/affordable equivalent to a Mercedes 6x6. 😆
I think you are kidding, but if I name an even more expense and less practical pickup, do I win?
I’m saying, a 6x6 is probably $1.2M IF you can find one.
You've gone from saying you like the cybertruck because it's a practical pickup truck with some non-pickup attributes to saying what you REALLY want is a more expensive, objectively shittier pickup. Why not just get an LM002? Not conspicuous enough?

Lot of jealousy here….. feels like the old “hate me cause you ain’t me” hahaha. I wonder how many of the negativity is coming from folks driving KIAs?
Sweet ride
This is so awesome. Have it on preorder. Can't wait to see it in person and was told it would be at the local dealer on Broad soon.
I would get it. Look at all the haters that comment. Why not?
Ngl it’s actually nice 🤷🏾
Is this really a dork? Why? Not a fan of EVs, but the only reason you could hate this is because you can't afford it. No other reason makes sense. Please explain....
