Cybertruck Laugh of the Day [⚠️ WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS BANNED]

Wired - Spit on, sworn at and undeterred: What it’s like to own a Cybertruck

Excerpts from interviews with 7 CT owners:
"As we [reporter and interviewee] are talking a woman drives by in a small sedan. "Your cars are fucking ugly!" she screams."

"When I first got it, my wife really made fun of me for it."

"A lady in an electric Mustang comes and puts this note on my car. It read: This is an extension of your small dick."

"People occasionally flip me off."

"We've only been flipped off three times."

"I can't really see out of the front windshield because it's so long."

Reporter: "Are you married?" Interviewee: "I was married, but I'm not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle."

"I can't really see out of the front windshield because it's so long. Unlike my dick."

Merged a couple comments there

Elmo's CT Prototype

Not really a CT laugh but an Electrify America Laugh of the Day. EA apparently uses CTs as repair vehicles, at least in New Mexico. There was actually 2 of them there, had me scared for a minute. The tech guy was nice though. He asked me to switch stations and test it with a free charge because he didn't have a CCS adapter. He was on the phone with EA so I didn't get to chat about the CT.

Makes sense that the worst-performing charging stations are using CTs to repair them.

I would file a hostile workplace complaint with EA Human Resources if they issued me a CT as a company vehicle because of all the middle fingers I would see during my workday...

I just had to know what this business was - I figured it may have been a penis enlargement/ Low T clinic, but it’s just a tint shop

I've talked to two EA station service people. Both sub-contractors and not employees of EA.

Electrek - Some Tesla Cybertruck owners thought they were victims of vandalism, but it turned out that it was just a factory defect. The owner shared images of what he believed was invisible ink being used to vandalize his truck.

Several other owners chimed in and confirmed that they weren’t alone with this issue. However, it is not vandalism. It’s a problem with Tesla’s protective film at the factory.

Another Cybertruck owner, Christian Maciel, had the same issue. He brought it to the Tesla service and shared the technician’s report.

"Technician inspected the driver-side B-pillar and verified the presence of a persistent mark (‘BVT’) that appears when wet, confirmed as residue from factory protective film. The issue was caused by residue left after the removal of the factory’s protective film. Technician replaced the left-hand B-pillar applique to address the issue. The fix was validated by ensuring the mark no longer appears when the surface is wet."

What about the persistent marks all over CTs saying, FEM?

And McDonald’s sold more burgers than the French Laundry. Does that make them better?

It makes them a better business. French Laundry’s burgers are better, but they are sold at a loss to the company and not sustainable long term. Their burger pop-up only run for a few weeks, then shut down.

Being bigger and more profitable does not make them “better”. It just means they are bigger and more profitable. By your definition Starbucks is the best coffee shop, which are words my fingers could barely type.

Also, the Incel Camino has not made Tesla any money compared to what they invested to manufacture it and what Leon claimed it would sell (250k per year).

It makes them a better business, not a better product. Just saying many businesses with a superior product still end up failing.
