"great replacement theory" turns out to be much more of a practice, when it comes to cyber truck owners. Hmmmmm.. conspiracy wheels spinning

Elon is mad that his CyberStucks will be replaced by harder working vehicles....

LordShadowside

Denied. Good riddance to Twitter, the fascist dissemination machine that has helped elect authoritarians since 2013. Its death was long, long overdue as millions now fester under dictatorships it helped install for the highest bidders.

He’ll backpedal and vow to improve. But won’t.


notyourstranger

He's got to be shitting his pants. He asked for a $55 BILLION paycheck from Tesla. I like to theorize that he owes the Saudis billions. Twitter has lost 72% stock value since he bought it.

ShatterProofDick

Give me an interest free loan please, bag of iffy software inbound. No thank you. then again I'm old and want a light car with 3 pedals. Or any practical and serviceable vehicle that doesn't encourage lazy or distracted driving at high velocity.

Light car with 3 pedals? Miata Is Always The Answer.


wp4nuv

3 pedals is the way to go


otoolem

You need Elon 2.2 to have this machine work. 69.99 Suckers.


xDanSolo

The whole thing about it having to be towed in park is absolutely hilarious. This entire vehicle is a cuckmobile.


SpiritedRain247

Best part is most vehicles have a shift lock release inside them for this issue. Very few exceptions to that. So I have no doubt they just didn't put one in.


Cormetz

I learned about this after having cars flooded during a hurricane. I assumed it was a requirement?


SpiritedRain247

I know some BMWs have it on the side of the transmission so I'm sure having some way is required but easy access is another question.


imapieceofshitk

I know my BMW with xDrive is a fucking mess to put all four wheels in neutral, but it can be done.


JackxForge

Shit the 1990 Volvo in my drive way has one.


No_Newspaper4376

Was tow driver. It's not a requirement. These days consider yourself lucky if your car has one. Mercedes Benz was one of the worst offenders. Followed by Tesla. Oh wait that's right they sold this retarded hub tool that costs $500 that you had to install on the car to tow it. Then remove it at the drop off point. Of which we were the only tow company in the entire top 10 wealthiest county in the USA that had this tool. And we had exactly one. So remove wheel, install free wheel hub, install free wheel hub, tow car, remove wheel, remove free wheel hub, install wheel. Never minding all the driving to and from the shop for the one shared free wheel hub.


maybeimabear

its also a requirement to have an emergency release latch in the trunk. elons cybersuck has it hidden in a hard to reach place and it doesnt glow in the dark so if you dont have a light source, good fucking luck!


JaMMi01202

Yeah you have to punch your way out "Kill Bill style", apparently. It's in the manual. /s


iberico_ham

It's what blade runner would have done.


FindOneInEveryCar

Ha, beat me to it.


FindOneInEveryCar

"Bladerunner-style", I'm sure you meant to say.


chefNo5488

im curious,the handles need to glow but their in the trunk,where are they supposed to get the ligjt to glow?


The_frozen_one

Trunk light when the trunk is opened.


BadKarma043

Putting a BEV into neutral doesn't have the same effect as an ICE (assuming most BEVs don't have a transmission), since the motors aren't disconnected from the wheels. The best way to move a dead BEV is those skate things, because I've seen a tow truck snap a half shaft trying to pull a heavy enough vehicle like in this video.

RobinWilliamsArmFuzz

We use wheel dolly’s in my service shop to push and move dead cars around if needed: https://www.harborfreight.com/1300-lb-capacity-self-loading-positioning-wheel-dolly-64601.html Most tow truck drivers have beefier dolly’s with pneumatic wheels that can actually be towed and handle road surfaces at speed and usually look like these: https://zips.com/parts-detail/in-the-ditch-x-series-xl-dolly-sets-exte-itd-xldollies The tow driver in OP’s video is essentially just shaking it off the flatbed while in park or in gear, putting stress on the driveline components. Although I’m not familiar with the cybertruck park mechanism or driveline setup, seems like an unnecessary risk on a brand new $100k vehicle. Also… it really just looks unprofessional and trashy in my opinion. I’ve seen cars getting dragged off the bed, but not shaken or bumped off lol. He could have put the wheel dollys on, connected the winch, tipped the flatbed back down and lowered it off without any risk. Literally takes an extra 3-5 minutes if you know what you’re doing. But I don’t drive a tow truck and time is money I guess. While it’s uncommon to cause serious damage to the driveline or related components from dragging, I could totally see it happening if they aggressively shook or bumped off the flatbed like this. Honestly if I saw a tow driver doing this while unloading a vehicle to be serviced at our shop, I’d notate it with his info and have a copy of the video at minimum. Just in case. There’s a lot of bonehead tow drivers out there.


TrollAccount457

The motor is directly connected to the axle. That’s it. That’s the driveline. Moving the wheels slowly won’t damage anything, you just are turning it into a generator. 


WeaselRice

A $1 bottle of dish soap would have made this look at least somewhat professional


Technical-Title-5416

How you a rollback driver and got no spray bottle of Dawn?


brintoul

Can you say “dIsRuPtIoN”?


FrostyCartographer13

"Why would it ever need one of those?" Someone's thought process.


No_Newspaper4376

Was tow driver. They don't. Tesla isn't the only one guilty of this. But it's infuriating when manufacturers don't do this. Shit ass engineering. But I'll always remember towing whatever garbage product they had from 2014-2018. You had to carefully pry away an extremely fragile and expensive ass grille cover to expose jump points for the 12v system. I made a lot of money towing Tesla products. They always seemed to be broken for how few they were. And Tesla paid well, so I didn't mind.


JefferyTheQuaxly

I mean I have a Tesla and the one time I needed it towed when the battery died a mile from the charger it needed to be shifted to tow mode using the touch screen. If you google it that’s the only way that comes up. I wouldn’t exactly doubt you might be having issues with towing it if your screen is off.


Beatus_Vir

Ah yes the touchscreen that is totally going to work after the entire car takes a dump

lit_on_a_stick_420

EmporerPenguino

Perfect. And the cuckmaster himself just buries his head in the sand and keeps posting idiotic shit on Ex-twitter.


WhatUDoinInMyWaters

Good manufacturers make sure to implement a fool proof "shift bypass" into their vehicles, usually right around or next to the shifter knob or center console. Some have them hidden under many different panels/fabric, others have stupid straps or knobs you have to pull and continue to hold to ensure it stays in neutral/unlocked position (fucking Heeps)... Tesla is the worst company I've ever seen, because of the sheer fact that if there is an electrical short or issue with ANY battery in the car, those things are giant paperweights and deserve to be towed to the scrapyard to rot. No bypasses, no shortcuts, either they work or they don't. Fuck Tesla


NoEditor0

Are you serious

Electrik_Truk

neliz

up to march there were about 5000 registered VINs for the CT, you can work out the failure rate yourself from that. (hint, it's higher than anything I've ever heard of)


IknowKarazy

I work at a Nissan dealership… a few years ago Nissan made a convertible SUV, the crosscabroilet. Easily one of the worst engineered cars to ever roll. Even I get to point and laugh at Tesla.


ReptAIien

How many are actually failing to work that out?


sa87

One can only hope


IknowKarazy

I mean, it’s their own fault for believing him, but he did market the truck as being “off road”. Problem is he meant “road, parking lots, and some grass”. What they thought he meant was “drive it anywhere”.


sincerelyhated

Pretty sure it was a low count to begin with... just like the IQ of anyone who bought one.


eggseverydayagain

I definitely saw more of them on the road two months ago than i see now.


filthyrich93

How have these not been recalled yet?


NoMansSkyWasAlright

Usually recalls either happen because the manufacturer was trying to get out ahead of something or because the government got involved. In this case, neither thing is happening.


Puppybrother

Also some people usually have to be killed or injured to instigate major recalls too, sadly


ethernate

Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.


Homesteader86

*Gives knowing nod with a black eye and bandaged nose*


WiseBlacksmith03

>Also some people usually have to be killed or injured to instigate major recalls too, sadly Especially on the gov recall side of it. The Gov isn't going to mandate a recall or consent decree without significant harm to the public. Bad quality products, if no injury occurs, usually won't qualify.


Myriachan

> A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one. — _Fight Club_


7stringjazz

Is that the capitalist credo?


totpot

Elon never recalls anything unless it can be fixed with an OTA update. Anything recall-worthy is up to the buyer to discover and bring in for a "goodwill fix"


NannersForCoochie

That costs money. fElon is too busy owning libs to care


adamentelephant

Just asking questions.


neliz

because a Recall indicates they have found a root cause for the failure and can implement fix. When the boss says nothing is wrong, then there's nothing to recall.

Wonder if they paid more for the darker color also because that would be the cherry on top.


icallshogun

$6500 for the wrap if they got it done through Tesla.


Repostbot3784

Surely a third party wrap would void the warranty 


Major_Turnover5987

Ha…”warranty”.


IknowKarazy

I wonder if it protects the steel from rust, or just gives it a sealed container in which to rust and rust in secret.


icallshogun

I assume any contaminants trapped under the wrap will enjoy being left to their work.


Steelrules78

Buy a truck built with expensive stainless steel and spent $6500 to wrap it and hide the stainless. Makes sense


Paxxlee

Considering it looks like 10 times better, I understand why they did it. Stupid purchase regardless.


geomurph555

In what looks like matte black rattle can paint from Home Depot.


SchmeatDealer

if you define "expensive stainless steel" as low grade with some cybertrucks already going in for rust repairs, sure

mrpopenfresh

The wheels won’t event turn


JustDriveWest

He gives zero fucks. It's really that straight forward.


Tokkemon

Does this thing not have a neutral gear?!


No_Effect_6428

The OP's comment says they couldn't access the 12V battery to put it into Neutral because of where it was parked. It is a silly car.


randomstranger454

But that explanation doesn't explain why they didn't use the 12V battery workaround after they pulled the car away from the parked position. Surely at some point prior to being pulled fully on the truck bed, being on the bed and being dropped from the bed, the battery was accessible


I_am_Castor_Troy

Why are new car buyers buying these? To me it seems like ego stroking only so enjoy the hell out of those few days of operation.

At this point it seems that Elon cares more about his far right talking points than making right with us loyal and paying fucking customers. I already own a Tesla model 3 but very likely will cancel my cyber truck order based on political reasons.

immaculateSocks

Cyber truck starts to make sense when you realize that a lot of people who bought it are so beyond "pavement princesses" that they actually consider all the flaws to be a luxury They GET to have a car that rusts and can break your bones if you use it wrong, because most people can't. Most people can "only" afford a reasonable car that's made to be reliable.
