Found in the wild in Tennessee
What’s going on with the top quarter of this pic?
Looks like maybe a “soft top” style roof? Convertibles and some jeep style vehicles have them.
Or maybe another damaged car, not sure.
I think someone is standing under the rear hatch of their car. You can see the bottom of the hatch and the rear window.
This could be it. Still breaks my brain though.
I know right? I am actually stumped by how I cannot place wtf that is.
Thank goodness they put the sticker on the window. It would have damaged the door.
Paint on that door looks like it’s already fucked.
It’s not paint it’s bare stainless steel. Those are fingerprints that you’re seeing.
Do you open up the door by clawing at the outside with no handle?
Yes, if you’re following the manufacturer’s recommendation.
… Wouldn’t that be especially bad on a normal painted door’s clear coat?
I recently saw one in Tennessee too, and I was pretty lucky I was wearing sunglasses driving by it! It was early afternoon, with clear skies all around lol
For the record, the one I saw didn’t have a boot on it, yet
I saw someone refer to these stupid things as “Incel-Caminos”, and that’s the most perfect description of anything I’ve come across recently.
I saw one of these for the first time the other day and was kind of awestruck at how dumb it looked in real life. I mean, I was never a big fan of the design but it really looked so much worse in person
I’ve said something similar in other threads - after seeing other people say it’s worse in person, I was still surprised at how cartoonishly awful it looked when I first saw one. They look terrible in pictures, but so much worse in person. I saw one that was painted bright green and it was so bad that I burst out laughing.
Just saw one for the first time today. Man its honestly much worse in person.
it might be the ugliest car ever made honestly, i urge people to find an uglier mass-produced car.
It is very close in ugliness to the Fiat Multipla https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Multipla
Yeah, I know we’re all shitting on Elon by proxy, but the multipla, Aztec, pt cruiser, Chevy SSR and plenty others are uglier.
I can see the Multipla being uglier than the Cybertruck because it looks like two differently-sized cars spliced together. However, there is no way I agree the PT Cruiser, Chevy SSR, and Aztec are uglier than the Cybertruck. Look at the Cybertruck again. It looks like a 10 year-old drew a truck on MS Paint using a mouse.
Taste is subjective so if someone doesn’t like it that’s valid.
For me, designs are successful based on the impression and experience they give people. The cyber truck to me gives off a futuristic vibe, it’s intentional, it’s a design that knows what it wants. Minimal polygons, minimal rounded edges. Uncommon material/finish. Visually striking, unique, memorable.
I think the Aztec isn’t a good design because it wants to be futuristic but doesn’t go far enough. Because it’s trying to retain some traditional elements it looks like design by committee.
My impression is the pt cruiser and SSR were intended to be modern takes on retro/classy designs from say, the 50s. In the sense that they’re curved they succeed, but the curves are in the wrong places and the curve radiuses are wrong. They look bubbly. They look like toys. The effect is amplified because they don’t have a lot of the fine detail that was present on old cars.
I would take a PT cruiser over the cyber truck any day.
I would probably take a pt cruiser just because of the reputational risk of driving a cyber truck - that people will think you’re an Elon stan. But purely from a looks perspective I think the cyber truck looks way better.

Bruh. Nobody can judge you for having bad taste if you don’t point it out.
The orange tag says “FUCK YOU” with no further elaboration.
You joke, but when my parents bought an electric car, the cops in their small town started harassing them. My mom drives like a saint but they keep pulling her over and giving her tickets that aren’t valid. She said she’s caught them waiting for her to leave the grocery store so they can follow her out of the parking lot and try to catch her doing something wrong. But she doesn’t, so they just pull her over anyway. This isn’t even in a rural town where people are rolling coal. It’s just a small suburb. Why do they care?
Electric = Liberuls
yea that didn’t happen
Thank you, oh arbiter of truth on the internet.
Are the tires really that thin or it just looks like that in the image?
Looks like a standard tire to me
The best part is, the sort of person that drives a Cybertruck is absolutely not the sort of truck (“truck”) owner that keeps an inverter and power tools in the bed, because anyone with an angle grinder would have a hearty chuckle at that before driving home.
And whoever put the lock on would have an even bigger laugh when they bill you for the damages.
Unless they can’t prove you were the one who damaged it, or even that there was damage. “Well, shucks, officer, I just tried to drive away with it on and it just sort of fell off. Dunno what happened to it after that, not my problem. You should invest in better boots, or maybe train the guy who put it on better.” (Bonus points if he’s the one who put it on.) Meanwhile, you take the pieces with you, grind off any serial numbers, and drop them in the nearest large body of water whenever is convenient. Bob’s your auntie.
edit: rofl @ all the people below trying to white knight for fucking meter maids.
“leave the poor step-up-from-mall-cop-on-a-segway alone!”
This is why they also put the giant notice on the driver’s window.
“your property was no longer in my possession, and my car was no longer in your way. If you’re saying I can bolt shit to your car if you park on my property and then sue you for damage when it flies off your car, I will keep this in mind when you come to serve me the summons.”
you’ll find that many people will decide you are not worth the effort to deal with.
I too wished we lived in a fantasy world.
if you say so, sport
Wait tgis is a real car? Wow I thought it was an art project or AI meme
Oh to be ignorant of the cyber truck. There are so many complaints about this piece of crap daily online. They lock out their owners, have body panels fall off, have very few protections against auto closing doors cutting off fingers, the accelerator pedals can get stuck at full speed while moving, they are uncoated stainless steel which corrodes, and replacement parts are insanely expensive.
I saw a YouTube short of someone claiming Tesla fixed the trunk door cutting people’s fingers off. He demonstrated with a banana at first. It detected the banana and immediately opened the door again. It barely made a dent into the banana. So he’s like imma try my finger now lol. So he tries his finger and of course that fucker clamps down hard on this mf’s finger, which gets stuck for a short while before the Tesla gives up and opens the door again. But his finger had a huge and deep dent in it, bro. You could tell he was in big pain. His hand was shaking minutes after the event.
I don’t know what’s worse, the door, or this idiot thinking a banana is an accurate prop to use in place of a finger. I would’ve used something smaller than my finger. If it detected that, you would think a finger would be safe…
One other thing here is that the sensitivity of the detection is actually decreased with repeat attempts. This is pretty standard.
The reasoning here is that people will check after the first failure. And if they then send the close request again, the car will try a bit harder. Maybe it’s just some bit of oversized luggage that can be pushed down.
First thing I immediately noticed was the rust
Musky Bois be like “that’s not rust, it’s patina”.
I don’t see any rust? That’s just the fingerprints that you can’t not get all over it.
Those are fingerprints? Fuck is this thing made out of😭😭
Bare stainless steel, lol
I swear Lemmy acts like anything shitty happening to a Cybertruck is like it’s Elon’s personal car getting fucked up. You’re being trendy. I fucking hate that guy too but is this really funny or meaningful?
Why don’t you just nuke every city in America because we all use Amazon and Bezos is a megalomaniac, evil bastard? Post it on Lemmy and laugh because we all deserved it for supporting him.
Look, Elon Musk is the most popular celebrity in the world, probably tied with Donald Trump. Of course we constantly shit talk about him, it’s what we humans do. Just roll with it, or continue to have a bad time, it doesn’t matter either way.
I think I’ll continue to have a bad time on Lemmy, for $500.
Yes, Elon Musk is. Not some random car owner. This all feels like bullying to me.
Of course we constantly shit talk about him, it’s what we humans do.
I pretty sure that’s almost verbatim what one of my bullies said about me, who also isn’t Elon Musk incidentally.
Just rip on Musk, not his customers.
Is it because YOU own a cybertruck? Lol
Uh, no. I own a-- Actually fuck off.
It’s not really bullying because they’re generally wealthier than us and bought these trucks as a status symbol. Society is rejecting that bid at higher status.
Yeah that logic checks out. Nevermind, sorry for bothering you.
Me being upvoted a few times makes me suspect people don’t realize I’m being facetious.
Even the tires are ugly. That’s… kind of impressive. I never once considered tires could be uglier than other tires. But here we are.
I was traveling for work recently and saw one of these every morning, and God damn did it fire me up to rage against the machine.
There is a point that you all will make Lemmy look like dick headed bullies to most people. Is that something your all gunning for?
Somehow, I doubt THIS is what would drive anyone away.
I mean, it’s got a boot.
