Fuck. That is a much better title.

You can still change it! No one will notice it!

A wave od horror washing over me as I realize these idiots can afford a Cybertruck while I can only have an old beater.
JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 8 months ago
wealth and stupidity come hand in hand in many, many cases.
I think this is partially because in order to make a lot of money in most cases you have to fuck someone else over and never have it occur to you thats what you’re doing. Like if you find out you can buy t-shirts for €1, then you go to your neighbor and tell them they can have a t-shirt for the low price of €30 (and manage not to feel bad about that) you’re a successful businessman and a pilliar of the community.

And if you can get someone to even do the part of finding the $1 t-shirts for another $1 instead of you doing any work, you are a job creator.

Cyber truck buyers are Elon worshipping tech bros, which means that they think they are smarter and better than everybody else. This leads to acts of hubris like the above picture, which are obviously very stupid and easy to see coming, but these types of people think, “I am very smart and know exactly what I am doing at all times. This will be fine, because I am doing it.”
alyth@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Why don’t you buy a Cybertruck on a loan and pay monthly installments? Better yet, put it on your credit card and push the debt into the future.
Oh, maybe because you’re not nuts. Drive that old beater until it dies.

Since no one else has said it, this isn’t a design flaw of the truck. The operator didn’t let air out of their tires. Before driving on sand you really want to let your tire PSI down to like 15 to be safe. I used to pull hummers out of the beach with my old four cylinder Nissan pickup because their drivers were often overconfident they didn’t need to deflate their tires (or just completely unaware). I don’t like Tesla but this is an operator error, not a fatal flaw of the truck.

It’s more of the taking $150k truck that doesn’t like sand, salt, or water to the beach.
You aren’t wrong though
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Or just don’t drive on sand that is so soft you sink to your ankles walking in it.
MadBob@feddit.nl 8 months ago
That’s handy to know, but I believe the implication is that the owner of the car in the photo is dumb for buying the car and then dumb for getting it stuck in sand.
Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
Does that still apply to vehicles that weigh 6600+ lbs?
skooma_king@lemm.ee 8 months ago
I towed several hummer v2s. Wiki says they are 6400 lbs stock.
Hildegarde@lemmy.world 8 months ago
What am I looking at? Should I conclude that Cybertruck is a bad off-road vehicle, or that sand is an unsuitable surface for driving, or both?
freebee@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Yes both
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Mostly that the driver is an absolute muppet. Sand like that is so soft you sink to your ankles walking in it, the truck never stood a chance.
OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
Please don’t denigrate the muppets like that. Muppets are cool. This guy is not.

In all seriousness track retrofits tend to do really poorly outside of snow.
HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
OK, in the end, I won’t install them on my Gen 2 Prius. Thanks for the tip!
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 8 months ago
You can get them on UTVs (side-by-sides). They also suck there, because if you try to reverse over something you can pretty much rip the track off
An argo, dollar for dollar, is the best thing to take into the bush.

Back in the late-80s or early-90s, a guy in my coastal town bought a new Nissan Pathfinder, took a bunch of friends for a nighttime joyride at the beach. I do believe there was beer involved.
When they hit water lapping in the sand and made a sharp turn, the tires made a wake that looked really, really cool! Do that again!
Suddenly, the car stopped moving forward. They had drifted too deep. Of course none of these rocket scientists had any idea if the tide was coming or going… it was coming.
They got out - through the windows I guess - waded onshore and prayed for the best. But like I said, the tide was coming. They saw the Pathfinder that still had that new agency car smell, getting completely submerged.
Next day a tow truck pulled it onshore, but as you probably guessed, it was a total loss.

Stupidity ages like a fine wine. Give it a couple of more years and you will be surprised about your ability to bend the concept of rational thinking.

sorry, im just trying to figure out how the fuck someone gets a cybertruck stuck on sand of all things.
M0oP0o@mander.xyz 8 months ago
Its really heavy, and on sand that is all it takes. (well that and spinning the tires for a bit)
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
i mean yeah, but like. You can literally dig it out in most cases. Regardless of that fact, airing down tires is a good idea, though im sure the tire deco would’ve mauled the tires in this instance. And sharp turns is just a bad fucking idea.

Imagine walking to the beach

I’m reminded of L.A. Story. “Nobody walks in L.A.!” *Proceeds to drive three houses down.*

A tragedy of the greatest magnitude. How many of them have to be washed ashore until we do something?
SVcross@lemmy.world 8 months ago
This is hilarious.

Why would anybody want to buy a cat that ugly anyway?
SomeSphinx@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That’s not fair, even ugly cats are worth loving!

I’d have bought it if it was actually a good product.
Turns out there’s a reason car paint exists.

Don’t take it to the sea it’s not ambidextrous.

I’m not saying this never happens, because it sure does, but something about this picture is off

It’s a design problem？
wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 8 months ago
Yes. Design say vehicles allowed, but detruck get stuck.
scoobford@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
Sort of. As I understand it, the main issues with the cyber truck’s offroading capability are its weight (it weighs a LOT more than even a large pickup due to being an EV) and the fact that you can’t replace the tires with something more suitable for your intended terrain.
In this case, I think the main issue is the weight on a very soft surface.
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Does the cyberstuck have special tyres too? That’s just hilariously dumb
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yes. The problem is Elon Musk designed it.

How American do you need to be to drive directly on the beach
ShakeThatYam@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Tbf, there are American beaches known for being drivable. Specifically, Daytona Beach.
EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You can just tell that dumb motherfucker is trying to explain what actually went wrong
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That photo is somewhat disappointing due the the lack of a douchebag vanity plate.
