Stuck
(slrpnk.net)
We can get dumber
Guy looks exactly as I would've imagined him.
I can hear him saying, "of course it will be fine" with a tone that implies questioning the fineness was the stupidest thing he's ever heard, because he thinks projecting confidence works for anything just like it works for tricking people that he knows things he really doesn't.
And then there's a good chance he acts like there was no way anyone could see the result coming once it's clear that it isn't, in fact, fine.

You can just tell that dumb motherfucker is trying to explain what actually went wrong
That photo is somewhat disappointing due the the lack of a douchebag vanity plate.
How American do you need to be to drive directly on the beach
Tbf, there are American beaches known for being drivable. Specifically, Daytona Beach.

Cyberstuck
Fuck. That is a much better title.
You can still change it! No one will notice it!
A wave od horror washing over me as I realize these idiots can afford a Cybertruck while I can only have an old beater.
wealth and stupidity come hand in hand in many, many cases.
I think this is partially because in order to make a lot of money in most cases you have to fuck someone else over and never have it occur to you thats what you're doing. Like if you find out you can buy t-shirts for €1, then you go to your neighbor and tell them they can have a t-shirt for the low price of €30 (and manage not to feel bad about that) you're a successful businessman and a pilliar of the community.
And if you can get someone to even do the part of finding the $1 t-shirts for another $1 instead of you doing any work, you are a job creator.

Why don't you buy a Cybertruck on a loan and pay monthly installments? Better yet, put it on your credit card and push the debt into the future.
Oh, maybe because you're not nuts. Drive that old beater until it dies.

Since no one else has said it, this isn’t a design flaw of the truck. The operator didn’t let air out of their tires. Before driving on sand you really want to let your tire PSI down to like 15 to be safe. I used to pull hummers out of the beach with my old four cylinder Nissan pickup because their drivers were often overconfident they didn’t need to deflate their tires (or just completely unaware). I don’t like Tesla but this is an operator error, not a fatal flaw of the truck.
It's more of the taking $150k truck that doesn't like sand, salt, or water to the beach.
You aren't wrong though
I used to race cars, and would over/ under inflate my tires based on the weather and track conditions. Never thought about driving on sand, but that's a super useful tip that I would wager most people have never heard.
It's not just sand, rock crawlers will deflate tires down to single digits (that's why they use beadlocks) so that the tires actually wrap around the rocks.
I guess you're talking about psi.
(No offense to you, dear Buffaloaf, I just looked it up and thought I might share).
For everyone of the 191 non-USA countries, 10 psi is 0,69 bar or 690 hPa. That's pretty low.
By the way, why is psi written in such a weird way? It should be lbs/ in^2
Because in^2 is generally said "square inches."
So it's "pounds per square inch."
Sometimes "per" will get its own letter, like in PPM - parts per million - and sometimes it's left off, as in PSI.

Yeah it made me a lot of extra cash when I was in high school. I would park over the on-ramp for beach access and wait for a tourist to inevitably get stuck. Most of the time I wouldn’t ask for money but they’d give me a nice tip since they knew the only other option was to call a tow truck. The park service requires a permit to off road now, and that info is on the permit so fortunately for visitors it happens less often now.

Calm? It scares the ever-living shit out of me that I’m surrounded by these people every day. They drive next to me. They have power over me. It’s frightening.
Back in the late-80s or early-90s, a guy in my coastal town bought a new Nissan Pathfinder, took a bunch of friends for a nighttime joyride at the beach. I do believe there was beer involved.
When they hit water lapping in the sand and made a sharp turn, the tires made a wake that looked really, really cool! Do that again!
Suddenly, the car stopped moving forward. They had drifted too deep. Of course none of these rocket scientists had any idea if the tide was coming or going... it was coming.
They got out - through the windows I guess - waded onshore and prayed for the best. But like I said, the tide was coming. They saw the Pathfinder that still had that new agency car smell, getting completely submerged.
Next day a tow truck pulled it onshore, but as you probably guessed, it was a total loss.
What am I looking at? Should I conclude that Cybertruck is a bad off-road vehicle, or that sand is an unsuitable surface for driving, or both?
Yes both
An F-150 weighs just over 4,000 pounds. A Cybertruck weighs nearly 7,000.
That's a lot of weight pushing into the soft sand.

Mostly that the driver is an absolute muppet. Sand like that is so soft you sink to your ankles walking in it, the truck never stood a chance.
Please don't denigrate the muppets like that. Muppets are cool. This guy is not.

Maybe they could try this (before going on the beach)?
In all seriousness track retrofits tend to do really poorly outside of snow.
OK, in the end, I won't install them on my Gen 2 Prius. Thanks for the tip!

Just wait. That sea air is gonna do wonders for that ~~trucks~~ brick's complexion.
Step-Elon I'm stuck!
Stupidity ages like a fine wine. Give it a couple of more years and you will be surprised about your ability to bend the concept of rational thinking.

Imagine walking to the beach
I'm reminded of L.A. Story. "Nobody walks in L.A.!" *Proceeds to drive three houses down.*

Its really heavy, and on sand that is all it takes. (well that and spinning the tires for a bit)

A tragedy of the greatest magnitude. How many of them have to be washed ashore until we do something?
This is hilarious.
Why would anybody want to buy a cat that ugly anyway?
That's not fair, even ugly cats are worth loving!
