So the Cyberfuck is:
- Not bulletproof
- Not waterproof
- Can’t handle mud or snow
- Can’t handle the sun
- Can’t handle parking lots
Did I miss anything?
Don’t take it within 10 miles of the coast.
It activates dynamic “go brown and crumbly” safety feature on the outer panels.
Can rust even under ideal conditions
• fucking ugly
Wasn’t it supposed to be amphibious. Don’t forget headlight shelf gets clogged with snow
Except it was literally was advertised as being as such.

Last year, Musk claimed Tesla Cybertruck would be “waterproof enough” to serve as a boat and cross rivers:
Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes and even seas that aren’t too choppy.
Also let’s not forget about how the tow hitch can’t tow.
They’re pointing out the same thing as you. But yeah it’s really dumb
Its crazy to me that my little V4 Hyundai elantra is better at off roading than that hunk of junk.
Not to be pedantic but it’s a 4 cylinder not a v4. The cylinders are in a line so it would technically be an i4 for inline.
Ahh mb. I dont know a ton about vehicles. I just know enough to fix most of my shit if it breaks.
Charge the car wash with terrorism.
I’m sure the car wash will claim it was just enhanced interrogation.
Apparently part of the frame fills up with water until the level gets high enough to short some critical internal wiring
Smh y’all will do anything to disparage Teslers.
The driver does something stupid, such as getting the car wet, and the car sometimes shuts itself down instead of catching fire.
No other car even tries to stop itself after getting wet! Can’t you see how much better they are?! Have you even said thank you once? In this conversation?
/s
I’ll have to set the lawn watering thingy to cover a little extra ground :p
Thank you
/s
Drill some holes in the lowest parts of the frame?
That might just do the trick, I don’t know what’s beneath that bit of frame tho
More water probably
With holes in it for sure
Jesus Christ
Mfw my little hyundai hatchback is more durable than a supposed “prepper vehicle”
Buy a cybertruck, they are best vehicle ever, except a few catches.
Like for example you can’t wash it or it’ll break, cant drive it or the wheels will fall off, and best not to sit in it either incase it traps you inside.
This is quite possibly the greatest product America has ever made. Well atleast its affordable.
Wonder why no one is suing yet. I’m legitimately confounded by the absence of lawsuits
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a contracted arbitration or something…
I am sick and tired of the war on property rights. The amount of companies trying to misrepresent product as services in order to seize undeserved control is too damn high!
Well, the guy who made the trucks gutted the CFPB a few months back…
The ones that had by far the best grounds to sue burnt to death.
The people that bought a cyber truck are fully on board with everything Leon is doing.
Lol and don’t slam the doors!
For the record, if you slam the doors the inside part comes partially loose and catches on the interior, so that when you open the door again the inside part tears away (literally tears like a rag).
lol wtf… it’s like people discover a new design disaster every day. you ever seen those design challenges where people try to come up with absolutely awful UI or terribly unusable everyday objects… it’s like they deliberately did that for a truck.
those design challenges where people try to come up with absolutely awful UI
You mean mobile apps in general? lol
Don’t touch the doors or the panel will fall off.
You can safely touch the emergency door release cover. That panel will NOT come off.
Apparently it’s strong enough to keep it’s passengers inside to be burned alive.
That’s not a problem after you’ve had your fingers sliced off when you close the hood.
Well atleast its affordable.
Starting price is like $82,000, or $101k with options lol
Pretty sure that’s the joke
Yeah but used ones must be very cheap lmao
Everything’s cheap at a junkyard.
Cyberpuke by weight
yep, super affordable…
I like how on my car there are routes for water to drain wherever two panels meet, even if those panels are a door with a seal. It’s almost like the people who designed it thought it might get used outside
Ok, so a car wash kills it. What happens when it rains? Do they sell a giant umbrella to mount on the stupid ass thing?
Maybe the soap dissolves some load bearing glue?
🤣
It’s not a joke, the frame is plastic and the steel panels are glued on.
Subframe might be plastic but the frame is cast aluminum. Which has its own issues since it’s failure modes aren’t as forgiving as steel. The glued on part is 100% though.
i love how people debunking claims about cybertrucks is just “no no, it’s fucked in a different way”
The cybertruck is a true modern marvel of piece of shit design. It’s hard to get all the facts straight considering how fucked it is.
The fact that it’s cast aluminum is tremendously funny to me. I love watching videos of these things fall apart trying to tow anything
As I understand it from another thread about this, it’s normal to use adhesives on modern cars. Just that Tesla fucked up and uses the wrong adhesive.
Theres no excuse for securing a big flat steel plate to the exterior of a vehicle with glue. Bolt em or weld em.
Wait till you learn that Boeing has used laminated (glued) skins on every 737 since the 80s. Glue can be fine.
737 outer panels are bolted to all hell, stfu
Wait till you learn how all cars are built these days.
I love when people who don’t know anything about a subject act like they know anything about a subject
lol wtf that’s even more hilarious now 😂 🤣🤣
I wonder if it’s because the “geniuses” at Tesla forgot to protect the electronics from water coming up from beneath it. It would explain a lot lol
There’s a YouTube video of someone chopping one up and that’s exactly what it is. There’re holes in the frame that allow water to get inside the battery compartment and pool there.
Oops all electrical shorts lol
Somewhere else I saw that there are unprotected wires in a well of the frame that can accumulate water.
So that means someone could potentially brick a cybertruck by spraying water on it from below at the right spot?
You’re describing a puddle.
Or a lawn sprinkler. Or a slip’n’slide.
Terrorist puddles!
I’d make a crack about declaring war on puddles but they’ll probably do it at this point
We’re sorry to report that rain is now communist.
Water now woke. Immortan Joe time.
sorry but since it’s in crack form your sentencing has a mandatory minimum.
Same. I washed my hair yesterday and I had a heart attack. I also washed my stainless steel forks and they rust in a few minutes. It’s the worst.
What ? Dont you know that dihydrogen monoxide has a Ph higher than any acid ? Why would you put that on your hair !
It’s also more acidic than bleach! Chemists refer to it as a “universal solvent.” It’s basically the scariest substance in existence
Both heart and forks very good quality, very very good. Very expensive.
Heart very bullet proof, look !
As someone with experience with emergency medicine and related areas, the idea of bulletproof windows on a car is one of the dumbest ideas I’ve ever heard of. If the windows are bulletproof, that means they’re also window-breaker-proof, and in a car that has doors that don’t work and likes to catch fire, that’s a recipe for a death trap.
Malboro killing their customers again
It sure is amazing, amazingly stupid.
You remember when he said it would function as a boat.
Like a boat, you don’t get to use it as much as you like and you have to keep throwing money at it.
And the 2 happiest days of ownership are when you get it and when you get rid of it. Although I’m guessing some people might be having second thoughts as they take delivery given all the news about the build quality. Truly revolutionary, making boats seem reliable.
An example of a boat is the Titanic. But given the tendency to burst into flames, perhaps the Felicity Ace or the Moskva might be more accurate.
LOL “truck.” Now it’s a very pricey, completely stupid looking piece of lawn ornamentation.
Like most trucks.
The world’s largest paperweight
Note that the charger is stuck.
Guess they don’t know about the string you yank hidden in the tailgate to unlock it manually
What’s up with that? Did they wash it while charging?
It sounds like it didn’t die in the carwash but overnight, so my guess is they plugged it in overnight after the wash and after it died the plug won’t unlock maybe?
You gotta be a special kind of broken to not have power while plugged in.
The body isn’t watertight and water collects in the frame due to lack of drain holes. The accumulated water shorts the electrical connections and discharges everything.
Probably a lot of corrosion damage now too.
Not being able to detach the charge cable due to lack of power is extra funny. They have a manual release but you have to remove a panel in the bed to get to it.
Basically the vehicle is in beta but they released it anyway.
The vehicle is in beta but they released it anyway.
Ah sounds like the startup strategy of having someone with the nickname Big Balls working for an org called DOGE given data on every US citizen without any oversight.
I rented a car recently and they upgraded me to a Tesla Model 3. I charged the car twice and both times I had to do the manual release to unplug it.
That’s alpha level problems
Technically functional, if you don’t count common and predictable conditions that we didn’t want to fix yet.
More like alpha IMO.
What a fantastic piece of equipment.
To be fair this happens to a lot of Mercedes, too.
They disintegrate after going through a carwash?
No, water collects in places and then gets on sensitive electronics. Though with the Mercs it’s usually because a drain got clogged.
IIRC, the chassis has some places where water can pool inside without drainage holes, and wiring runs through those trays. It could be that the car was fine for a while until the owner tried charging it, which would’ve tripped a fuse or something.
Ironically, gasoline is recommended to wash Stainless Steel.
The irony being you can’t take some other Tesla models through touch car washes due to swirling on California compliant paint jobs.
Doesn’t using a car wash without putting the car in “car wash mode” first void its warranty, or was that false news? (I don’t remember where I heard it.) Nice way to make a lot of unsuspecting people void their warranty.
That’s actually in the owner’s manual for the thing, very true. I’ve seen it posted before.
I wish I had a link handy for you, but honestly I despise the thing and would much rather piss on it than bother with any more research.
Hell, it’s already a laundry list of recalls…
Is there a “piss on truck” mode that you have to turn on for that?
Probably not. It probably also doesn’t have a vinegar and salt mode either. Most metals really don’t like that…
loading super soaker…
A video clip about it just came across my YouTube feed…
Still love the truck /s
Absolutely, that truck is a beast. It can carry a whole dead cybertruck all the way to the service center!
deleted by creator
Damn, I was hoping some parts of those fascist would come off, like the head.
lol… you’re getting downvoted even with the sarcasm tag
Apparently 22 mf’s hate the cybertruck so much they forget how to read
I just laughed at that too. People too triggered to get to the “/s” before replying.
Yeah I gotta admit I love ‘em when they’re dead too and when they get tagged with really cool graffiti I love that
