Is he short or is the forward visibility in that thing as bad as it looks?

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago

He's 5'11", visibility is record-breakingly terrible in a market segment with worse visibility than main battle tanks.

the optics of a flat pane windshield at that angle has to be awkward

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

!!! I couldn't figure out what looked so egregiously wrong about the windshield even in relationship to the madness of the rest of it, but that's totally it

Holy shit, is your PFP Dorner as the sun from Teletubbies?! 🤣

I don't entirely get it, and yet I laughed till i cried.

This is the most clear example of the boomer "okay what the hell is going on here with this damn gizmo" bifocal face

I was thinking that it looked like he couldn't see over the dash/hood and needs one of the little booster cushions like I use

Ugliest coffin ever.

Now this is a car you can actually burn to death in

I admire his dedication to the bit but it's not a vehicle Prince Phillip would drive.

[–] aeronmelon@lemm.ee 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I guess I should have expected Jay to buy one of these things. But as someone who has actually built his own car, I wonder how pleased he is with it outside of novelty.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tesla probably gave him one for publicity.

This is the best looking cybertruck photo I've seen. Looks like it was actually polished down.

Anyone else remember that Jay Leno kids book where he tries to slice some ham with his comb but it gets stuck in the ham

As a giant roast beef turns on the spit for the Leno family's end-of-summer barbecue, young Jay's mouth waters. ("Juice is dripping! Fat is sizzling!... I'm dying to taste the roast beef.") Jay whips out his "secret weapon"—a plastic comb—and repeatedly steals some drippings with the unorthodox implement. But to Jay's great dismay, the comb ends up stuck in the roast, prompting a chaotic and funny denouement.

Leno has chosen... poorly

it looks like some sort of mech suit that keeps him alive

[–] duderium@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Days after launch, you sit at a red light. The novelty is gone, you aren't any happier. Maybe it's your imagination but the gaps in the door look off. You think you saw a car full of teens laughing at you earlier. You're now $100k in debt for a meme, and you feel nothing.

[–] newerAccountWhoDis@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks like he got the only model without crooked gaps.

Also looks like he's gonna die before the car can kill him.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Damn I've shit on the manufacturing of this thing before, but goddamn is that one of the ugliest looking designs I've ever seen. The windshield angle meeting at the driver's seat is some weird fucking submarine shit

The message just repeats: Regret. Regret. Regret.

Leno the wimp and his cybertruck coffin

Oh shit, I forgot to add a charger to the Lenocave.
