Cybertrucks are capable of falling apart, underperforming, looking stupid, and incinerating their occupants.

You can also broadcast that you're a Nazi by driving one.

Inexplicably, sales are down.

Don't forget the $100K price tag for all of the above

But at least you don't have to pay extra for cremation.

It's funny, I drove past a dealership (not Tesla) earlier and they had one of those Swasticar Dumpsters. They didn't have it in the normal line however, it was on one of those lifts that rotate to show the whole car about 30ft in the air. It took me until now to realize they're not showing it off, they're keeping it high up away from the better vehicles so it doesn't immediately burn them down too.

Also it has like 1,500 miles and is marked down to $77k lmao imagine losing all that money on a dumpster.

The lawsuit is about being trapped in the vehicle, not about the batteries catching fire. You can burn to death in a gas-powered car as well, but chances are you’d be able to open the door handles in any other vehicle after a crash. That’s the safety problem they are suing over.

"Burning bones entirely requires extremely high temperatures. An environment of 1292 degrees Fahrenheit (700 degrees Celsius) is necessary to incinerate bones completely."

Damn, good way to unalive someone and leave no evidence but a faulty truck.
