I refuse to believe this is not a bit, cybertruck owners are completely brainwashed

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 4 points 4 hours ago

I've been hitch-hiking a lot recently and it amazes me how bad the drivers from the US actually are. I thought that literally being raised in a car would give them some road sense, but apparently not. Especially on narrow and dirt roads I consistently see them zone out, slow to a complete crawl and lose all bearing in where the actual road is.

So anyway, in situations like this I wouldn't be surprised if the car was absolutely fine and the driver simply fucked up in the stupidest way imaginable.

Had to make a choice to crash it or risk tumbling down a mountain to probably death

The image does not make it clear what they chose

What is it about Tesla ownership that gives you sagelike calm and patience in situations where the vehicle you own is actively trying to kill you?

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 7 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

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

Experience?

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.

I’m surprised they didn’t include the cursory “love the truck though.” I thought that was mandatory in order to not void the warranty.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 27 points 18 hours ago

Tough to see but it held up welk with only minor scrapes and bruises.

Think this qualifies as a "love the truck through" statement.

[–] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 22 points 20 hours ago

Mere ownership effect

[–] i_drink_bleach@hexbear.net 56 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

"It would not stop and was gaining speed from 5 mph to 12+ while on the brakes."

"It held up well and only a few minor scratches [despite the truck being upside down. Would buy again.]"

These people are beyond brainwashed.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 30 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] i_drink_bleach@hexbear.net 17 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

HAHAHA! That was literally my first thought. Homey! How did you flip your truck at 12 mph?! Were you ghost-riding the whip? WTF happened?

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 12 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

And this road doesn't look that steep? I guess perspective could be making it look more flat but still idk how it ended up literally 180d onto its back unless it hit some kinda video game physics landmine

[–] i_drink_bleach@hexbear.net 8 points 19 hours ago

I never could get those cube collisions right. XD

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 14 hours ago

Especially when they love to brag about how hard it is to flip other teslas. Especially their suv

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 106 points 23 hours ago

subscription to the premium braking service had lapsed and posting this violates his private arbitration agreement.

also, the lack of a "still love the truck" line has completely voided the warranty.

This Machine Kills Fascists

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 72 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t like cybertrucks, but there is something to be said for their earnest attempts to kill all cybertruck owners.

[–] Runcible@hexbear.net 5 points 14 hours ago

you do in fact have to hand it to them

all he has to do is walk next to it and hold down the X button

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 65 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

The car looks like it was designed for this position.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 50 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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..."

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 27 points 21 hours ago

I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle.

[–] ClassIsOver@hexbear.net 6 points 17 hours ago

Maybe it's designed that way so it doesn't keep rolling once it gets started.

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 25 points 20 hours ago

The car known for killing people nearly killed me.. still loving it though! so-true

[–] StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net 6 points 15 hours ago

It's so incredibly hard to believe these are real. But here we are.

[–] Corngood@lemmy.ml 30 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Physics still exists, so it's possible that this person is just a moron and it was too steep/slippery to slow. However 26 degrees doesn't seem like that much, and it's not hard to imagine this shitbox having broken ABS.

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 44 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

I think it's easy to forget how much exceptionally heavy EV cars and trucks are.

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 7 points 17 hours ago

Yeah, but usually the batteries are kept down low and make the vehicle more difficult to flip. But I wouldn't put it behind tesla to fuck that up somehow too.

could probably roll it on that crap on the left and full steering angle

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 35 points 22 hours ago (15 children)

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

[–] Gucci_Minh@hexbear.net 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

What if this guy being a cybertruck driver and all mistook 26% slope grade as 26 degrees? Would be even funnier because 26 degrees is a genuinely steep slope but 26% is like 14 degrees which is quite manageable.

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 10 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I didn't think of that lol

I think I'll offer him the benefit of the doubt but still

This car has to take the cake for goat lemon

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 12 points 21 hours ago

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.
