Slop.

Still love the truck though

It's a communally enforced social totalitarianism encouraged by the millions of investors whose financial success is tied to enforcing this behaviour. You behave this way or you get attacked by the "community" of owners and investors.

Experience?

Mere ownership effect

probably the $200,000 of sunk cost that wont get repairs if you badmouth it in any way

Cybertruck user: "Elon promised me a tank-like vehicle able to stop bullets. But I gotta say - I'm a bit disappointed how often my Cyber rolls over. The last time it did that - my girlfriend damaged some vertebrae in her neck. She said 'Your truck could rollover after hitting a chestnut!' and she broke up with me. At the first sign of any problem - women will leave you. I hate woke..."

I really want to know how it flipped at 12mph though like i wanna watch

People like to talk shit about Trabants and Ladas, but at least those cars were relatively affordable (hard to compare when DDR and USSR had relatively rare personal car ownership, though) and easy to repair.

WOAT

it’s possible that this person is just a moron

They own a cybertruck. It is not a possibility, it's a certainty

But also

26 degrees doesn’t seem like that much

Nah it's quite a lot TBH, angles feel much steeper in reality than they seem as numbers. E.g. a typical staircase is ~30-35°, and the steepest street in the world is 35° (and that thing has concrete, which is a reasonably grippy surface).

And it's even worse in cars, at a 15-20° bank angle most people start to freak out and scream that the car is about to flip. 30-40° is when most cars will actually flip, I guess cybertruck is on the lower end here.

If it was grass, wet mud, or gravel, I can totally see a 3000 kg vehicle just not being able to physically stop. It's interesting that they managed to flip it, I suppose there was something else at play that we can't see in the photo.

26 degrees is like the steepest mountain road you could run into, steeper than the wonkiest of hillside driveways.

mechanical linkage to the electronic booster system afaik. instead of using vacuum pressure from the combustion engine, these cars use an electronically controlled booster with a master cylinder that pushes fluid out to the calipers

If the ABS was faulty and fighting him, or the power brakes failed, there is 0 chance for a human to stop a 3000 kg truck rolling down a 26° slope, even with perfect grip. Whether it has hydraulic or fly-by-wire breaks, if the electronics were faulty it wouldn't matter.

I've had to stop my 2000 kg van from 110 km/h, on a relatively flat surface, when the ECU shat its pants in the rain and the engine died. Let me tell you, I weigh 80 kg, never skip leg day, and yet it took all my strength for a good 20 seconds whaling on the service brake to stop it (and yes, I made sure to let off a bit when a wheel locked). Add another metric ton or a steep hill and it would basically be impossible for all practical purposes.

to be fair, hydraulic brakes with power steering dead would be a tall order to stop a fucking 3000 kg rust bucket too

I had a tiny ford focus power steering fail on a muddy, but flat road and it was pretty scary

Just turn the wheel a little.

Sorry control ~~yolk~~ yoke

It's the most natural sleeping position for that breed of truck
