Elon Musk Fans Explain Why They Love Cybertrucks
Aside from killing monkeys and destroying Twitter, Elon Musk has also had his sights set on something else: building Tesla’s futuristic Cybertruck. The Onion asked Musk’s fans why they want to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a Blade Runner rip-off, and this is what they said.

So, 5 months LATER, the SECOND "cybertruck" was produced!!!
WooHoo!!!!
Bad driving/angles coupled with overinflated tires. That doesn’t look like a particularly difficult course. I also wonder what level the air suspension is at, because the clearance in those videos isn’t great.
Cybertruck: As an off-road vehicle, up to 16 inches (40 cm) of ground clearance is provided, with a 35 degree approach angle, and 28 degree departure angle.
Jeep Wrangler:
Ground clearance 9.7 in.
Angle of approach 41.4 degrees
Angle of departure 36.1 degrees
F150 4x4:
Ground clearance 9.4 in.
Angle of approach 24.3 degrees
Angle of departure 25.3 degrees
Wonder what 'up to 16 inches' means in practice. I would have assumed it was low for less drag, but I maybe it can settle at highway speeds?
I'm not a 4x4 guy, but it seems like the level of traction control and power you can put to individual wheels would make this thing an amazing climber. But it weighs almost as much as a Panzer I, so I guess that's bad?
Yep. Would have thought they would have had their setup dialed in better, and have someone behind the wheel that knew what they were doing. Those videos are a little underwhelming as is, in terms of showing off the vehicle’s off-road “prowess.”
At THIS pace......CyberTruck #3 will be rolling off the lines by March 2024!!!!
The RT1 is similar weight (7,000 lbs), and is fairly capable off-road.Cybertruck: As an off-road vehicle, up to 16 inches (40 cm) of ground clearance is provided, with a 35 degree approach angle, and 28 degree departure angle.

I doubt anyone actually off-roads these things seriously.
I remember when they were testing the new Bronco at Moab, people lost their shit because it got multiple dents going up a tight sliprock trail.
I live in a place that has great rock crawling. The serious off-roaders all have shitty 20 year-old Jeeps with $50+k in aftermarket suspension/powertrain. If you’re worried about how it looks or daily driving, it’s not the right hobby.
Tell us you don’t understand auto manufacturing without telling us you don’t understand auto manufacturing. Lol.😂
200+ have been made, around 7 different pre-production versions were created. This is the first production unit you knucklehead.
I’d love a Tesla but yeah these trucks look stupid as hell. Give me a model Y and I’ll be on my way.
Looks like a chest freezer.
Sub-Zero.
And where's the rear window to see anything out the back?
If they're relying on a "camera", I'll be sure to keep a roll of black electrical tape handy so that anytime I see one parked, I can cover that camera over just for giggles...
People ordered these over 2 years ago. Some will be getting one this month (allegedly). And they're still trying to figure out if it'll fit in their garage today.
Seems like that news came out months ago:
Tesla revealed new measurements for its long-delayed Cybertruck in its Q2 earnings report. The polarizing truck will be less than 19 feet long and will have a bed that’s longer than six feet, which is shorter than Ford’s best-selling F-150 Lighting, which is 19.25 feet long with a 5.5-foot bed.
The new estimated measurement is 231+ inches. That’s over 19 feet, which means it can fit in a standard garage, but you’ll probably need the garage door open for entry and egress.
What does jizz taste like?
It is ugly.. but people like ugly cars.. I mean look at the Nissan Cube or the PT Cruiser.
You’ve found your people! 😉
Reminds me of a vehicle used in a Total Recall or BladeRunner movie knock off. A movie made in the 80’s trying to represent 2030 or later vehicles.
Megaforce was a tremendous movie!!
Are you trying to deny the awesomeness of Megaforce?
Could use Ace Hunter in Israel or Ukraine right now.
