The Tesla Cybertruck is not legal to drive on public roads in the UK, in many other places. Among other things it's a matter of safety standards, including issues with sharp, angular, stainless-steel edges (failing to meet pedestrian protection rules).

Seems like a lot of needless work. If he wanted to ruin it, he only needs a sponge, a bucket, some water, and soap.

Do a Rivian!

They wont, it wouldn't be good content. JerryRigEverything bought a rivian, that should tell you something.

I remember if you're in an NPR some guy bought a cyber truck and no one in New York would insure it he couldn't sell it because of the agreement when you buy one and so he had to pay for storage in New York City

I've got to be honest, the only thing keeping me from treating parked Teslas like this on a more frequent basis is the fact that they record their surroundings while the owners are away. The good news is that they also have blind spots that you could drive a truck (made of thrown rocks) though.
cosonfused
that doesn't seem right. i vaguely remember seeing footage being made in this supposed blindspot.
with 4 different models and a slew of refreshes, this might be inaccurate/out of date.
circlebreaker
Well, that image is five years old, maybe it's out of date?

If you believe this is an actual test and not click bait you're a bigger moron than people who bought a cyber truck.

Hey don't compare it to a little tykes car! I still have the cozy coup from when I was a kid and my kids play with it, those things are pretty tough.

I think it was per 100K .07 people died in Pintos .14 died in Cybertrucks due to explosions

Twice the danger for 10 times the price. What a deal!

WhistlinDiesel is a fuckstick.
ItsACrazyWorld
wtf did they expect? its a expensive go cart. Its not even made with real metal. also a go cart is more reliable then that piece of shit.

Whistlindiesel, the guy who did that forex scam? No thanks.

The asshole who, allegedly, burned that ferrari for the content and almost caused a huge fire and didn't even pay taxes on it.

Never forget the time a crashed Cybertruck trapped kids inside who burned alive: https://www.kron4.com/news/technology-ai/cybertruck-trapped-piedmont-college-students-who-burned-to-death-new-lawsuits-claim/

And nothing of value was lost
bippityboppitybuttsex
That is a feature of all Teslas tho... esp the cheaper models that don't have manual overrides unless you pull off a door panel and yank a cable.

Musk ended 17 stock fraud investigations I to him using DOGE, the real reason it was there. Who knows how many cybertruck investigations he ended, too. Fucking massively corrupt, musk should be guillotined in public, his father too who is a Putin loyalist
kisselFL
Same thing happened to my wife's cousins 35 years ago in a Dodge. Seat belt and doors both jammed.
RainierAlt
Sometimes, we do it to ourselves. Many new cars have retracting flush door handles and very fancy innards that don't have obvious manual unlocks if the electronic parts fail.
I understand flush door handles gives a boost to aerodynamics and thus mileage, but I can't believe it's enough to arrant the loss in accessibility and safety. 🙁
Stuff gets replaced with new tech, not because it's better, but because some engineer could and marketing went "wow!"
ChiLLeCheeze
If only technology had moved forward to prevent these things. :(

And yet he’d still suck off Musk if given the chance.
HypnagogicHallucinations
When he tore the mirror off by hand, I actually laughed. It should not be possible to tear apart a truck with bare hands. Yeah, he slammed the doors harder than normal use, but that shouldn't be enough to destroy the door. Most cars on the road could have their doors slammed that hard with no damage.
SandyTentaclez
I love how closing the door firmly jist shatters it entirely. True Musk-Quality. As shit as everything else he is tied to but his Daughter.

Dude is currently out on bond for tax fraud and is also kind of a loser.

The fuck. Don't give this MAGA motherfucker any clicks, ffs.

Can we do that, but for EVERY MAGA?
ElusiveThing
I drive an Mk2 Golf GTi. I'm quite sure that car is more robust than the Tesla Trash Tanker.
TheSkleebler
And a hell of a lot better looking. Probably quicker and more efficient too. Not to mention more fun.
You probably don't get flipped off nearly as much either.
Shaodyn
They're so shoddily built that, if you slam the door, you can't get it open again without completely destroying it. And these things cost like $100k.
CaptainYesterday
Don't forget whistling diesel was arrested because the government in Tennessee is saying he registered a vehicle in Montana to avoid Tennessee's fees. Said vehicle was destroyed in Texas I believe. Unknown if it ever even entered the borders of tennessee.
FlintNorth44
Cybercuck is shit, but this YouTuber is an asshole. They're both shit.
CheezitsLight
Yeah but he's hilarious
Cptbluebeard7
Hilarity is not a free pass to support a racist, genocidal, and pedophile-filled party.
JohnThatcher
A hilarious asshole is still an asshole and deserves to be treated as an asshole.
nation543
Hasn't it already been proven several times over that these trucks are shit?
TI99Kitty
Yeah. This is an older video, from a couple of years ago.

Honestly, I think the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe is tougher. Those boogers can take a beating.
Punkimus
And the people who "drive" those have the same maturity level as a cyberdumpster driver
theb1ackduck
Came here to say the same. Our lil Tykes got beat all to hellnbach. Still worked.
GeneralNoise
When i was a kid I rode one down a staircase. Miracously I was fine and of course the coupe was fine
youreathing
They won't spontaneously explode either
nclu
When we were kids, we took turns riding the Little Tykes down the 11' slide in our backyard (this is what I thought "boys will be boys" meant). Took a beating, and so did we, but no major damage to anyone or thing involved
RedTwoX
That's supposed be what we mean by "boys will be boys". I like to see us get back to that. Fight the good fight! Be the change you want in the world.
nclu
WhistlinDiesel is fighting the fight. That^ video is the real "boys will be boys"

My brother pushed me into a pool when I was like 12 and squeezed into one. Almost drowned, but eventually got out. Cybertruck, i would have died if was pushed into a pool.

Look on the bright side. If you crash into a lake, it will protect you by locking all the doors & windows so your corpse remains beautifully well-preserved.

If you take a Cybertruck thru a carwash you void the warranty, so I doubt you would be well preserved.

Only if you put it in carwash mode, otherwise islts not even waterproof

Any EV with electric door latches is a death trap, especially now that new cars have to have laminated side glass (in USA, at least)
RuffyRuffHausen
I really doubt it's waterproof, so you'll still be a bloated pos

Judging by some of the panel gaps I've seen on some of them, they're going to fill up very quickly.

You mean the ashes will be well preserved because the interior will catch fire.
kenpachiramasam
Too bad there isn't a department to regulate transportation that could of enforced safety and compliance standards to ensure the vehicle would be safe in an emergency.
spontaneous9
Yeah but who needs extra bullshit regulations on anything, right?
I mean, it's not like anyone whose first priority is to impress their peers by spending a ridiculous amount on a trendy piece-of-crap vehicle would care about its safety specs or the amount of detail they'd have to read about in the manual so they don't make a fatal mistake their first day out. That's disregarded faster than a grammar section, which was once a required part of our traditional English curriculum.
* could have
PTKrieg
Fear not! There's a manual release... in a completely unintuitive location... that you're unlikely to be aware of without sitting down and reading the entire manual cover to cover. So you're got a fighting chance! Your buddy in the backseat, not so much...
ArchaeoEejit
'but it covers us legally?'
imguronefive
I really like it on my car that the door lock and door handle are obvious and easily operated, even if you are in a panic. Sometimes, instead of asking if a thing can be done (fancy modern / "futuristic" design), we need to ask if it should be done. Fancy art projects that sit on someone's shelf: fine to experiment wildly. Truck that drives on the road: don't get too wacky.
spontaneous9
I prefer doors that easily lock from inside but can't slam shut when locked as they require a key to lock from the outside which prevents locking the keys in the car (old Toyotas had that). Also prefer roll handle windows to electric, & please don't ever put a motorized tailgate on any car I drive. Simpler is better. Who the hell decided every time I hit the drivers window button, it has to automatically open/close all the way? I hate that.
The more control they take away the less I like it.
ThatLoserTheFourth
With the automatic windows, usually a light press will give you more control over how much the window opens or closes while a full press will open/close completely, but I feel you
spontaneous9
That almost works about 50% of the time, but venting the window a tiny bit is so much more of a struggle than it needs to be IMO.

Whistlin Diesel? The incel that imported a russian mail order bride and then gets butthurt when anyone points out what a pathetic loser he is?

Musk's WHOLE thing now is "yeah the cars suck. Whatever, we're a SPACE/ROBOTZ company now LOLZ!"
rezpawner
What's next though, given that those two also suck?
kazeshi
im all for hating on elon musk, but spacex doesnt suck. they have done amazing and groundbreaking stuff with their rockets.
i honestly cannot imagine someone informed on the topic thinking they suck, unless you just have a totally different definition or something?

It's called "content creation" nowadays.

I thought "content creation" was just putting your face over an existing video and pointing and nodding.

It's a diverse field that ultimately boils down to burning money and/or making faces.

loved his videos on the Toyota hilux
Filanwizard
Some rando youtuber however will never compare to the Top Gear attempt to kill a diesel hilux.
Vkiwi2
he did kinda try.. saw what the usa uses could do.. did the same to the hilux.. exceeded the usa ones if I recall right

There's a reason that they're so loved, for whatever work you set them to.
TrueLegateDamar
You should check out the Top Gear episodes on the Toyota Hilux, they go all out on it, having it on top of an exploding building and go traverse the Artic.

A possible tiny silver lining of this mushroom cloud of an administration is iirc the Hilux isn't here because of emissions standards. The anti-regulation & anti- climate science doofasses might make it legal in the US. Of course they'll probably enshitify it like Ford has with the new Craptors.
YpsilantiRomani
My understanding is to do with the chicken tax
1stDrunkJoe
I looked it up, you're right. I hadn't heard of it, thanks. It looks like the Tacoma is the enshitified US version.
YpsilantiRomani
Yup, my brother was a mechanic for Toyota & we have talked about it many times.
