A farmer proves the Tesla Cybertruck is a workhorse, defying critics with a video showcasing impressive features.
The sole positive is he can plug a welder into it…
But it’s a hell of a lot cheaper to just put a generator in the bed of a real truck. Plus you won’t accidentally use all your battery welding and be stuck. Since you can’t just bring out a new battery, you’d have to tow it back.
Also, it costs $100k. No sane farmer is spending $100k on a work truck that’s inevitably going to get really dirty and banged up.
And won’t survive things like… getting sprayed with water.
I don’t know man, a lot of work trucks can get to six figures pretty easily once you start adding utility beds and the like. Especially if you start with a one ton.
Alternative headline:
Farmer inexplicably spends over 100 grand buying trash
Go easy on the farmers it’s not their fault John Deere has conditioned them to do that.
My extremely progressive by American farmer standards uncle, who has driven a Prius for non-farm travel for over a decade, would probably stare at this article silently, turn, and walk out to the barn to continue working. Just about the harshest response that man ever gives.
What a funny account. Created in July and only full of tech articles posts with zero comments…

Doing the Lord’s work, that’s an easy add to the block list.
Their posts are largely well received and commented, but yeah it’s a little weird. I can think of a few possibilities for this, but whatever they’re doing doesn’t seem like typical user behavior. They don’t seem to be shilling for Tesla because I see at least one semi-negative post.

Is this the most downvoted post on Lemmy?

Sounds like a good fit for a paid for piece from Elon.

I guess the Fortnite publicity stunt isn’t going so well.

I don’t play the game so I’ve got no stocks in this, but why on earth did Epic even agree to it? Tesla must’ve put a ridiculous amount of zeroes on that paycheck. I mean you might as well put Hitler’s car in it at this point.
