A place to post your Cybertruck fails! We're here to make fun of this hunk of shit and throw as much shade as we can to that garbage bag of a human elon.
No doxxing No slurs No racism And no fucking nazis!

I don't pity the fools, I just point and laugh. Do you know how much therapy you could afford with the money they wasted on their Cyber Rusts? Or a few trades courses? Or maybe a basic physics class for the but in this photo lol
This makes me remember Sweden in the nineties, everh 40yo man and their fucking grandmother just had to buy a ... Harley Davidson motorcycle!
I mean if you want an anchor to your boat there are way cheaper ones. :-)
The thing was that those people wanted to be a rebel so hard, they shelled out astronomical amounts on that crappy bike (one story out of many; my lil bro got one in like 2010 and it broke down so much it was just comical, once he got it to this magic known harley mechanic who did a crazy overhaul, it broke down on the way home.).
So they was working in front of a computer all day, or serving people or whatever, and they were not rebels (!) but Harley Davidson could fix that. Like the cybertruck makes you a craftsman. Just like that.
Sweden was having more harley davidson motorcycles per capita than any other country in the world at that time. Guess insecurity sells.
/Story off
They just summed up marketing. Buy your way into who you want to be
Don’t get me wrong, I hate the cyber truck, but this is the owners fault. That roof thing slides back so he could have had them in at an angle where they wouldn’t have slid out.
I mean there’s an example of what to do parked right next to him 😆
I'm not sure the CTs tailgate could handle that much weight though. Bottom line - this thing is a toy, not a work truck, like the one parked next to it.
Oh god it’s even worse then 🤣
i thought thats the point of the post? cybertrucks are bought by guys working in tech who are insecure about their lack of ability in "manly tasks"... like loading up a pickup
I love that there are before and after photos. Someone saw that, knew exactly how it would end, and instead of telling the guy, took a picture, then waited in the parking lot for the inevitable results. 💀
Might have told them. Many people take unsolicited advice as an attack, and refuse to listen, thinking they know better.
You’d think a tech worker would at least have a basic understanding of physics
Lol 80% of the computer science students at my uni absolutely detested math of any kind
At least intro physics was super interesting. Fuck Calc and Chem though.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this isn't unique to just the dumpster truck owners.
I've seen people try to drive away with a couch mounted vertically in the passenger seat of a convertible (with no straps or rope of any kind).
I lost track of how many people roped their doors shut through the windows on their vehicles while strapping a 75 inch TV down to the roof of their Honda CRV.
The general population has an unbelievably poor understanding of physics and honestly I think we need to let more people die due to darwinism again. Saving the village idiot with modern medical standards has really just allowed them to get older and come up with even worse ideas. Sometimes they procreate and spawn in some new physics challenged shitlings that will be finding their way into your local ER with some self inflicted stupidity any day now.
Pretty fucked up that you prefer people dying over just properly funding our education system.

rural cosplay is very much a thing...
As someone who grew up in a small farming town and now lives in the GTA fuck almost everyone with a pickup truck because it's all for show ain't no one slinging gravel or wood or a beat up generator somewhere like when I grew up. It's all faux rural cosplay shit.
My bike has more mud on it than most off road vehicles and tyres are only 700x35c IIRC, may have been 37/38? Hybrid/Trekking bike, Boardman MTX 8.6, the suspension is most useful on the terrible roads we have in places.
It also has more mud on it than half of the bikes I see with tyres that are like 8cm thicc. Usually only see those in urban environments. Often go on gravel or dirt trails and there is the occasional muddy puddle. Nothing really extreme enough to need a mountain bike for.
It’s really just a techy spin on how a lot of car brands are marketed to insecure guys. Read the marketing strategy for big trucks or jeeps, and it confirms they are 100% aware that their marketing is aiming for weak men insecure in their masculinity. Pathetic.
At least if they’d bought a real truck, they might’ve been able to haul something with it.
That's most truck owners. Come at me.
But there's that one guy that drives his truck to and fro his office job every day because he hates gas. But then twice a year he mixes some cement so it's totally valid.
If a truck is older than say 2015, has dings, scratches or mud. It's probably their work truck. If it's lifted, clean, etc. It's a pavement princess. Ive also heard that a lot of those trucks that are diesel having constant problems because they aren't hauling or driving long enough to get the engine nice and hot to burn some of the build up. Never owned a diesel so don't @ me.
Its the particle filter that needs a good burning every once in a while. Otherwise it gets clogged and can't filter anymore and also reduces your exhaust flow.
It is indeed a problem with many diesel cars that are only used for city drives. As for the driving itself diesel is more chill than gasoline because the maximum torque is reached at lower rpm and it is more difficult to stall the engine than a gasoline engine so manual gear is easier.
insecurity of tech workers
That's the part that kinda boggles my mind. You'd think that engineers and hackers would be exactly the types who would be inclined towards DIY. I know I am, and I feel like that's pretty common among the sorts of people who went into tech because they had a passion for it.
I suspect all these insecure cybertruck owner types are the dudebro assholes who are only in it for the money and are shitty at their job anyway because they don't care.
You'd think that engineers and hackers would be exactly the types who would be inclined towards DIY.
Actual engineers and hackers usually are the kind of persons who can tackle problems out of their comfort zone with enough research. I'm a software developer, I couldn't cook stuff, but one day I decided I'd make a pizza and it turned out okay.
Problem is, the Cybertruck target demo isn't engineers or hackers. It's their managers. The Idea Guys. Elon is the archetypal Pointy-Haired Boss and the other PHBs go "I want to be just like Elon". They can't solve any problem worth a damn, because they have underlings for that, and gods forbid if they decide to actually do something themselves.
I work in tech an power tools are scary, they make loud noices.
Haha I'm the same. My wife's a mechanical engineer whos very good with tools. She fixes all the shit in our house, she just makes me hold stuff when she needs another set of hands, then when she releases me I run away from the loud noises
Software engineer here. I want a truck, but one that fits my use case. I don’t want something taller than me. I have to be able to reach in and grab things out of the bed without climbing in. I don’t care if I’m always on pavement, it needs to have a use.
What’s the point of having a truck only to use it like an SUV?
I’m not good at DIY, but like… you should use the right tool for the job?
I agree with the post. I'd say most issues can be followed back to fragile masculinity. Masculinity specifically for historic reasons.
I do pity those so devoid of self-esteem. I hate the fact they're manipulable sheep that vote, but I understand where it's coming from. I'm sad for them that they'll never find contentment where they're looking for it.
who could have seen that coming, except, well, everyone
for the last 3 years too, longer if you know that musk released the picture of the cybertruck long before it was sold.
I don’t feel bad for them. I put sticky notes on the window that say “stupid.”
I'm not even by any accounts manly, and arguably a techie type, but I've been able to carry bookcases on top of my sedan, and boards sticking out the back trunk, using just rope, bungees, or Ikea twine, multiple times without any issue. Driving down highways even.
You don't need to be hoo-rah to secure a damn load, you just have to brain
I can fit 90% of what a truck can in my hatchback. I can fit 150% of what a truck can in my work van. As an added bonus my shit won't get wrecked by a passing rain shower.
I just checked for fun, the bed is 4X6' I can fit a 4X8 in my minivan and close the hatch. haha
