ngl the front bit of a black cyber truck looks kind of dope. But all of the rest of it still looks like hot garbage.
But reverse. It starts falling apart when you get to the windshield lol
I think it looks the worst when looked from the side.
Haha yes, exactly like that picture, and everything else you said 😆
The hood/windshield slope kinda reminds me of circa 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo, and that was a cool looking vehicle.
I really liked the Cyber Truck design.
Modern cars are so similar now they’re all massive and bubbly, even the Porsche SUVs looks like something from KIA.
It may be ugly but I’m happy to see something different on the road.
They are similar as far as I understand because they all want the same outcomes of the design : better aerodynamics and effective crumple zones to faculiate higher survival of the occupants in a crash (some vehicles additionally try to limit injuries with pedestrians too but less so in US vehicles).
I do agree that we have lost some of the majesty of older variations of designs but largely I think it’d convergent evolution. To leave that behind you’d want to have a really good reason which I don’t think the cyber truck really has. Different for the sake of being different rather than innovative.
The Aptera has better aerodynamics. Mainstream car design is hampered by common assembly line production and focus group designing. There’s also a design for car manufacturers to keep customers within a certain brand, even if an large conglomerate owns many brands, they don’t want to risk a customer switching to a different brand(and possibly different conglomerate) as their needs change. This leads to what’s called “Badge Engineering”. The old Chevy Tahoe and H2 Hummer are basic the same car. All those “Jeeps” that don’t really look like Jeeps past the grill and could have just been a Dodge SUV.
Pictured: typical parking job from cyber truck owner.
Self parking. It enjoys rolling over a squirrel, cat, dog or pigeon.
It should rust into nothing in a few months, then problem solved.
Expensive lesson, try not being a sucker next time.
“Oh no my shitty car depreciated” god who would have guessed
Can’t handle the douchnozzle neon sign lighting up when you drive that thing in public?
Have you tried exploding it?
That one is not as bad looking as the rest but it still screams 3rd grade art project
Yeah because they actually primed and painted it lol
That’s a wrap, cap
I’d take it for free
you can buy a brand-new Cybertruck straight from the manufacturer cheaper than Sledder is asking to sell his used truck.
Wow I wonder why there’s no takers
Also Sledder ‘no low ball offers, I know what I git’
The paint job is totally worth the extra 19k you guyse!!!
The article says there’s a madman offering 50k cash for it. Poor soul.
Actually 50k sounds a lot closer to reasonable for a somewhat used car that currently sells new for 80k’ish. Of course, I’m saying that in the hypothetical generic car vacuum, not the actual “electric dumpster” reality.
Tesla owners deserve every bad thing that comes their way. No sympathy.
Sledder also shares that over his lifetime, he has driven and sold over 40 exotic cars, and the Cybertruck is the one vehicle he is having the most trouble finding buyers for.
Not sure why he’s mentioning exotic cars and Cybertrucks in the same sentence. Anyways, he was a sucker the moment he paid the extra $20k or whatever for the Foundation Series. He was never getting that back.
I’ll take it for free, I suspect a Cybertruck might be fun to paint in dazzle camouflage, at least it’ll hide the shape
You would even have the guillotine frunk. You know, in case you need to chop a
billionairecarrot on the go.
The Cybertruck owner listed his truck for sale for $89,000.
The same dual-motor Cybertruck AWD variant now starts at $80,000. However, starting in 2025, the vehicle qualifies for the $7,500 point of sale tax credit. This further lowers the starting price to $72,500.
Tesla is also now offering a $2,000 discount to anyone who applies a referral code when buying the vehicle. That further lowers the starting price to $70,500.
LOLOL.
Everyone expects top dollar for used shit these days.
This fucking article goes on 3 more paragraphs after that about how great the current offerings from Tesla are. Feels like the whole thing is just a Cybertruck sales puff piece in disguise.
Guy can’t sell his because the new ones are just SO GOOD 🤡
And cheaper than ever!
Twas indeed a click bait puff piece.
Between price drops and the cybertruck recently qualifying for the federal EV tax credit, buyers can get a brand new unit for what this guy is asking. This early adopter paid too much and got a bad deal, but there’s no mystery as to why no one wants to buy at his asking price.
If he’d literally give it away, I’d accept it.
I would too, and I’d resell it immediately because I don’t want to be seen dead in a Musk automobile.
I don’t want to be seen dead in a Musk automobile.
The only thing separating us from domestic terrorists
the chances of that being how you’re seen in one are non-zero
I’d still drive it for a little bit. Just bc I regularly drive 20 y.o. vehicles.
“can’t give this thing away unless I lower the price to probably $79k. Sucks.”
A brand new AWD CT from Tesla is $79,990.
Headline is clickbait. Seller is a whinger. Trash all round. Saved you a click.
That’s the thing. He’s trying to sell his used truck for more than the cost of a brand new one with the same configuration, if I read it correctly.
The guy fucked up buying this trash at a higher price early on, and now he’s just an asshole trying to rip other people off.
Sorry to ask, but what is a “whinger”?
Pronounced like Hinge
Whinging and whining - though not exactly identical in meaning - are pretty much the same word to all intents and purposes in casual language.
Whiner. Whinging is a synonym
But not back in the colonies, one would surmise.
I believe it means “whiner”. As in one who whines and complains.
I don’t know where @CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net hails, but I just know this because I am a dad, which means I watch Bluey, and sometimes the dad on Bluey will tell the kids to “quit whinging”.
Huh, it’s common as in Australia.
Never thought of it as an Australian word. Odds are it has its roots in England though I guess
In Harry Potter, an English book, the Dursleys are from Little Whinging, because Rowling has no imagination.
I’ll take that as canon given her other extremely obvious names
Are you one of those people that whinged about Marvel having a character named Wong, when the actor who portrayed Wong, was named Wong?
What? No. What does that have to do with anything? I’m talking about names like Draco Malfoy.
She didn’t plagiarise all of Harry potter though so she must have some imagination. Creatively bankrupt might be more apt
Rowling’s goblins? Based on a racist caricature
The house elves? Wouldn’t you know it, also based on a racist caricature
Centaurs? You guessed it! Based on a racist caricature!
It’s like these people don’t even watch bluey smh my head
Yeah, somehow there really do be people who haven’t seen bluey. Crazy. It’s 2025 people.
My Geordie friend uses it a lot, I think you’re right on the money.
(Geordies are from the region around Newcastle upon Tyne from what he told me, so part of northern England)
I love how watching taskmaster has given me knowledge of different accents
@Zementid @CurlyWurlies4All Australian here. Whinging is complaining or whining
