For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

The horns facing backwards just bring the whole shitshow together.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 45 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I can't believe that's the front... Like... Holy shit is that car fucking ugly.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 14 points 5 months ago

The more you look the uglier it gets.

[–] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 5 months ago

I mean I'll take that over the alternative of being gored in the head as a pedestrian

[–] thefourthleche@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That and the dirt painting on the side

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And the rust on the front.

[–] ilost7489@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 months ago

Muskrat thought paint was a conspiracy

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 12 points 5 months ago

It makes it look like it has a handlebar mustache

That's the direction the longhorn was facing when the autopilot ran it down

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 17 points 5 months ago

Better they impale themselves than any pedestrians they run over.

If the truck wasn't assigned nuts at the factory you can't just add them later. It's unnatural.

You can't tell my truck which transmission to be!

It's a subscription feature that you can unlock for only $79.95 per month.

I still can't believe this is actually a real car. It's beyond stupid, it's what I'd expect someone to come up with in a zombie apocalypse with welded sheet metal or something.

[–] SkippingRelax@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

I thought that was the back of the car and thr horns facing backwards didn't make any sense, until I realised where the rear view mirror are and that that's the bonnet. What the actual fuck, 4 years old me did draw something similar a long time ago.

Does the cybertruck have just 1 giant wiper? That seems...fucking stupid. You can see the passenger top side of the windshield isn't clear which might be needed. Also the wiper blade must surely be proprietary meaning, wait I can just look it up: $75. Less than I thought somehow.

[–] tautalas@lemmy.world 56 points 5 months ago (12 children)

Benz did it better with one

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago

But that is Mercedes-Benz, a company that is already known for being able to design a car. The "cybertruck" looks like it was designed by a ten year old, and, as the wiper shows, not actually smartly executed.

[–] yuriy@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

The wipers on the mercedes work better than two blade setups as well. You don’t get that trailing line of water off the tip of the wiper right in the center of your view because the one blade extends all the way to the edge, all the way across.

[–] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

I'm not a mechanical engineer but I'm still getting hot and bothered watching that. What a cool design!

Wow I've never seen one out in the wild before! I also wouldn't have imagined anyone could make it look even more obnoxious but here we are lol

Just in case any pedestrian survives the initial impact.

Its the ugliest vehicle since the Pontiac Aztec

[–] viking@infosec.pub 11 points 5 months ago (12 children)

I still think the Fiat Multipla is even uglier than the Cybertruck.

This is an improvement

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

And that's what the "finish" looks like AFTER a fresh car wash.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I dunno, i think its an improvement. Somehow, likely unintentionally, more honest.

Things like this is why America fascinates me.

Here's another example of a fascinating "only in America" car mod I found in LA

That'll be 15% off the battery range.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You know who else hates cybertrucks? The atmosphere.

In less than a year that thing is going to be so rusty that a high speed impact with aluminum anything will ignite it like thermite.

Ridiculous car with horns parked at a strip mall? Has to be Texas.

E: yep, checked the area code on the sign in the background. Houston.
