Safer for pedestrians, in the nihilistic sense that they at least won’t survive the hit I guess?
Elon Musk lies.
That is, like Trump he deliberately and wittingly deceives. Compare Cybertruck will be much safer per mile than other trucks, both for occupants and pedestrians. with I am the most transparent president in history.
Those lies extend to his outrageous space and industry goals like mars colonies and space-based data centers. Or the hyperloop.
He probably sees it as salesmanship the way Trump sees his own lies as the art of the deal.
And when Musk denies the death toll of DOGE ending USAID, he’s lying to himself.
there is a guy who lives about 2 miles away from me that owns one. I used to see his truck around, and see it while I was out walking parked in his driveway. I stopped seeing it for a few months. Then I was walking by when I saw him outside doping something in his yard and asked what happened to his truck. He said it was too much trouble, I said yeah, i heard they have some serious issues on the news. he replies “On top having to take it to the shop almost once a month motherfuckers just kept vandalizing the thing. It just was not worth owning.”
It’s a thought that makes me smile.
Ah yes, all is going according to the plan.
Its only a matter of time until some unfortunate human gets cut in half by one of these monstrosities, its too bad we have to wait until that happens to take them off the road forever.
I have no doubt’s the cyber truck will be regarded as worst automotive failure of all time. Not just because its a piece of shit but because of how much money was wasted on it.
Updated: CyberTrash slices feet in half, Elmo lies through is teeth, as he does every time he opens his mouth
FTFY
Elon claims that it is safer for pedestrians
Safer than what? Being shot in the face?
Safer than nothing, its just another lie of a serial liar who has lied about literally everything for his entire life.
At this point if he’d claim 2+2=4, I’d presume math went upside down and it must be 5, because he’d be lying about it for sure.
Elon musk is a Nazi
Also he looks like he’s turning into a potato.
Ok I know this thing is old news and we should all be past the initial shock of Elon doing something very Elon again.
But still…WHY THE FUCK IS IT SO UGLY?
Beauty is subjective.
…but ugly is universal.
We could double the human population with cyber trucks!
You don’t need to sell me on it I’m already convinced they are a menace
Oh snap
i hope someone slices elon in half
Vertically
I’m honestly surprised any of those things are still running.
I fucking bail if there’s one even near me. They’re knives on wheels and that’s only one of many issues that make it a death trap for people inside or outside of it.
I’ll just call the police if I see one, because there’s no way it’d be road legal here in the EU lmao
I’m not sure if NATO personnel in Belgium can bring this shit here: they can drive their US registered car without issues because I’ve seen quite a few cars with US plates (and only on the rear) in that area.
One of the many reasons this death machine is banned in Europe
Regardless, there is a very large number of people trying their best to import it and finding a loop-hole to put these monstosities on the road.
I’ve never actually seen one in the Netherlands. Plenty of absurdly big pickups, but not a cybertruck
And hopefully it will never happen.
I listened to a supposed car collector saying how he is planning to import one and legalize it under the gize of being a private museum piece. Supposedly, such cars get a special license and insurance, and are permitted to circulate from one show to another.
Hopefully, it gets returned at the border.
I do historical reenactment, so I know an above average number of people with… interesting vehicles.
You can own any vehicle you want, as long as you don’t use it on the open road. Making a ww2 willys jeep street legal isn’t too hard, since its historical. Anything from before the 1960s doesn’t need to meet pretty much any safety standards other than “have lights and brakes”.
But the cyberstuck isn’t from before then, and would need to meet safety standards. Only some of the requirements can be waived for special reasons, but not all of them. There’s one semi-famous story of a group who couldn’t get their “ww2-ified” 1970’s M5 halftrack approved for the road because it’s insufficiently historical, so they had to install 3-point seatbelts and such. Technically, a 1940’s M3 halftrack could be approved, to they basically bought a chassis from one, and made the M3-of-Thesseus, where they basically kept the chassis plate, and replaced everything else. So now it’s oficially a 1940’s halftrack, with 99.95% 1970’s parts.
I don’t think that works for a cybertruck.
Hopefully, it does not.
A cyber truck made in the 70’s wouldn’t have had musks involvement and thus might have not sucked.
Those pickups are so annoying. I really hope to see those things banned.
I think that’s wonderful, honestly. Europeans should also have the opportunity to enjoy lighting one on fire.
I’m better amused with your nick. How difficult is it to catch one?
If you show any empathy, they’ll find you
There is exactly one way to put it on the road and that is: sitting on the back of an actually street-legal truck.
Considering the size of it, it would be a monstrosity atop another.
Can’t be a normal tow truck, you need the big guns for that thing.
Image allegedly from Germany.
Tell me it is going headed to the recycling center.
Maybe they are taking it back to Norway (where they are street-legal, thus Norwegians can drive them into the EU)
Not norwegian but regardless… Ouch!
I’ve recently seen my first one with a French license plate driving around in Germany. Apparently they’re not as completely banned as I had hoped.
I don’t think a pedestrian is surviving being hit by any vehicle at 75mph. You could wrap a Prius in down pillows and it’s going to end messily.
If you could choose to be hit by a vehicle, would you choose to be hit by a cybertruck or a prius? Be honest.
I’d be just as dead, but I don’t think I want the shame of being killed by the ugliest truck in history.
It can’t hurt you. It either misses you or kill you, no risk of getting permanently paralyzed. That’s a huge progress!
Holy shit how are these still legally drivable?!
They’re not, in Europe. Lucky bastards.
Sadly, they are. What you can purchase and what you can legally drive are governed by different rules. In the EU, a vehicle doesn’t necessarily need to have EU type approval to be imported and registered.
That’s why you can, find non-EU-spec vehicles on European roads. For example, red rear indicators, even though EU-approved vehicles generally require amber indicators.
The process is tedious, and there may be modifications involved, but nothing outright prevents you from getting a Cybertruck individually approved and driving it legally on EU roads. I know of 5 or so cases, where somebody jumped through those hoops.
That’s too bad, they’re terrible and unsafe
Oh so thats why I havent seen these things! I was just hoping my countrymen had taste.
I wish all of us had taste, RAMs and DODGEs even existing on our roads proves otherwise, those blowhards would buy a cybertruck too if they could
Because Elon Musk funded the political campaign of a pedophile.
He’s also a pedophile himself so it comes full circle
The hilarious part is that is was too uncool for the other pedos, but that he was still begging to be one
Everything is terrible
