Will you be getting a Tesla Cybertruck?

[Azza ☠]

You might of remember back in 2019, the epic failiure of it's armoured glass windows:

Well the genius Elon Musk has finally fixed that issue 3 years later...

Replacing the steel ball with a softer baseball. Problem solved!

Of course not, it's a ridiculous vehicle.

How do you manage to get for free hire rentals?

If I get paid for driving it around, maybe.

Well, it's perhaps for a certain target market.

Given the huge window wiper and car battery is a joke. Development and servicing of it would be a nightmare. Plus Swedish employees are currently refusing to service or import Tesla cars / charging stations, due to being treated like slave workers without a fair pay...

You have Tesla AI, which had already been provide to be hackable to the point that they can't fix it unless recalled. Older Tesla cars can be instantly hacked into opening the door and starting up, etc, via merely using bluetooth on a cellphone. It's even possible to lock out the steering wheel and braking.

You have bullet proof armour and it's designed like a brick, yet can still carry a heavy load. Ideal for terrorism purposes. It's design is currently that of an automatic bomb on wheels.

Safety features barely even exist. A normal vehicle has crumple zones, etc, designed to reduce an accident for both the safety of the driver and pedestrian. Tesla AI previously failed to even stop for a child. It completely wiped out the crash dummy. Elon Musk's excuse for that was it wasn't a real alive child during testing. I fail to personally see how the front of that vehicle is at all safe for pedestrians or everything for that matter in front of it.

I'm currently considering who's buying it as a possible terrorist threat.

You will be sued by Elon Musk for $50,000 attempting to make any profit from the Tesla CyberTruck purchase, you must sell it only at a lost.

I personally wouldn't even drive it if paid. Perhaps I just have trust issues with highly insecure AI technology designed into a weapon form. I have seen the movie Terminator to know what could happen.

You have the Tesla Dojo AI supercomputer learning to control the vehicle itself.

Plus on top of that, the Elon Musk's Neuralink designed for controlling humans at a brain level, that failed animal testing killing 1,500+ of them during development.

Well it doesn't stop the selling of it, just anyone else profiting off it. Even if it's the year 2500+ and considered a classic car then, you likely won't get anymore than the Elon Musk's very own markup starting price tag, which is suggested at being 50% higher than the initial estimated price of it.

That's not even the 'Cyberbeast' version, not yet available till another year or so, which will start at $80,000 after all the Elon Musk fanboys have the lower quality marked up price one instead.

I'd just call my friendly mechanic to rip out all the tech BS. No-tech Teslas have been done before. :D

Unfortunately, I just looked it up and that thing has a kerb weight of three tonnes and I guess above four gross. I'd need a commercial driving licence where I live. I mean, if Elon Musk would pay for that… ;P

You're best bet is to consider that Tesla Armour glass as false advertising, throw a steel ball (instead of a softer baseball) at the window, break it and then sue Elon Musk accordingly. Profit!

The patent states that, typically, automotive glass can be chipped, cracked, or broken without much external force; something as small as a pebble that is launched into the air by another vehicle can cause enough damage to warrant an entire windshield replacement.

Yet he claims it's bullet proof and armoured glass? Umm okay then...

I think it might be safe enough for parking next to your kid's baseball game while the kids boo it, call it a mommy van and hit their baseballs at it, apart from that, not so much?

Sticking with my gas-guzzling trucks. Would never give lunatic Elon my money.

As I'm in Europe, they'd just replace the glass and change the advertising, I gotta pay my legal fees and that's about it. Stanks!

Do they even sell the Cybertruck in Europe? For it to be still considered a car, that thing would need a reduced GVW, leaving only about 500 kg for passengers and cargo.
Under these circumstances, it simply wouldn't sell. But no worries, the EU corpo-govs are working hard on raising the GVW limit for Class B licences.
Guess which clowns are the target demographic for such a clown car.
