Fuck. That is a much better title.

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.
skooma_king@lemm.ee 8 months ago
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.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I used to race cars, and would over/ under inflate my tires based on the weather and track conditions. Never thought about driving on sand, but that’s a super useful tip that I would wager most people have never heard.

Yeah it made me a lot of extra cash when I was in high school. I would park over the on-ramp for beach access and wait for a tourist to inevitably get stuck. Most of the time I wouldn’t ask for money but they’d give me a nice tip since they knew the only other option was to call a tow truck. The park service requires a permit to off road now, and that info is on the permit so fortunately for visitors it happens less often now.
Conyak@lemmy.tf 8 months ago
This is definitely a Tesla flaw. Anyone dumb enough to buy one of these trucks is dumb enough to take it on the beach.
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
how? Or more specifically, what?
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
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 8 months ago
An F-150 weighs just over 4,000 pounds. A Cybertruck weighs nearly 7,000.
That’s a lot of weight pushing into the soft sand.
Contestant@lemmy.world 8 months ago
This isn’t true. Many higher trim F150s (bigger cab, 4wd, luxury interior) weigh over 6000lbs. Only the smallest, cheapest ones used for work vehicles are on the 4000lb range. Not defending the Cybertruck, but repeating false info doesn’t help.
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.

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

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.

To be fair if you manage to find a way to sell the product you’re cooking in the back of that thing then you might end up pretty loaded.

They bought a Tesla, what did you expect? They being able to think critically like a normal person?
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
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.

It’s a design problem？
wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 8 months ago
Yes. Design say vehicles allowed, but detruck get stuck.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yes. The problem is Elon Musk designed it.
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

Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I can hear him saying, “of course it will be fine” with a tone that implies questioning the fineness was the stupidest thing he’s ever heard, because he thinks projecting confidence works for anything just like it works for tricking people that he knows things he really doesn’t.
And then there’s a good chance he acts like there was no way anyone could see the result coming once it’s clear that it isn’t, in fact, fine.
