“I pledged to eliminate two unnecessary regulations for every one new regulation. We have succeeded beyond our highest expectations. Instead of 2 for 1, we have cut 22 burdensome regulations for every one new rule.” - Mr. Trump, on Jan. 26, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
My tweens, teen, and early 20s daughters, saw 1 on the way to Disneyland, and another on the way home. Both times they all reacted by laughing at how 16-bit it looks. I felt a little bad cuz I'm sure, that wasn't the reaction he was promised.
saw it driving in the road in the opposite direction once. my brain interpreted it as a 2d square at first. If I hadn't been aware of them in advance I would've gone on thinking it was a gray piece of plywood barreling down the highway.
I saw one and I couldn't help but laugh not at the truck but at the poor dumbass who spent money on it and thinks he's so cool driving that piece of shit. It's like the Emperor's new clothes-the truck.
The reason that for all the Tesla / Cybertruck problems is that musk did not get his $55B pay package. Give him the money and all the problems will magically disappear. /s
In the US, the law is written so that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration can only amend the vehicle safety standards to ban or force a recall of a car after an investigation. That investigation can only happen AFTER a “pattern of incidents” has occurred. E.g. Recently they recalled all Tesla self-driving software and made them update it to make it safer, based on their investigation which was launched AFTER cars were totalled, people were injured and some died. It’s one of the most absurd examples of crazy US safety regulations. They can only act AFTER people are dead. New cars have to follow the existing standards before they get put on the market, but if the manufacturer puts something in the car that is unsafe and is not yet covered by the existing code, they start selling them.
@direktive4 in most of the world, you have to prove that your food is safe to get it in the market. In the US, people have to prove that your food is unsafe to get it off the market.
Dude, the party of puritanical nonsense gets enthralled by the wrinkles on truck nuts after tiktoking about Walmart gas prices from their Hummer, allowing this FUV was inevitable.
@@schrodingersjet1043 I heard this was because vehicles must have rounded edges to make accidents less fatal. I think it's extra funny that this is impossible for them to adapt the truck to. The proprietary steel is too rigid to form so there's no redesigning it. The whole aesthetic has to go.
No because the exhaust port actually served a saftey purpose. It prevents the entire battle station from becoming an irradiated hellscape when the super laser fires.
After selling used Tesla a few time they’re kinda ass. Sold one with 10k miles the regular battery, like the one in every other car the tiny one, died and I hand to have my client tow the vehicle to because there’s literally no non electric/mechanical way to access the battery for a jump third party. Crazy to me. Basic car culture eludes Tesla in a very weird way that only a tech enthusiast can ignore
*tech fetishist An enthusiast would have laughed at a Tesla. Musk is a curse for technological advancement. He siphons away public resources by getting insane gov subsidy and convincing politicians and the public to look away from actual tech advancement bc media is obsessed with "genius billionaires as saviour of humanity" narrative and aesthetics over substance innovation. US would've gotten high speed rails if it weren't for Musk, Musk alike blood suckers and car lobbying for decades.
That’s what Rain Mode’s for, silly. Turning on Rain Mode when it rains, however, voids the warranty. Not using Rain Mode when it rains voids it too. Rain touching the truck voids the warranty. If you survive it.
I still hate the fact that cars have bluetooth connections that you can't connect to unless you are parked, and that have about a 200ms lag. i have not owned a car that was newer than 2007 for that very reason xD I just want to be able to use AUX cable... that is my TOP PRIORITY when buying a vehicle. Technology is supposed to make your life easier and more convenient.... but it's usually the other way around. A car does not need a touch screen and an operating system... nor do i want it to have either. Maybe i am old :P But i want more analog, and tactile controls.
To add to that - those operating systems are usually proprietary and impossible to replace, for no reason other than to make it difficult to install software you actually like. And of course that software tracks you and phones home with private data in a very insecure manner
We don't need to drive in a computer. Most people have phones to do all the magic. Cars n some trucks should not cost 70,000.oo. You really need a behemoth to haul all those costco goods
The biggest reason I don't try to get rid of my grandfather's 94 GMC Sierra C1500 is because I can fix it myself. When I was driving my mom's old 2001 Sebring, the timing belt snapped one night. Had to get it towed and leave it in a shop for a week (with a guy who listened to Rush Limbaugh). $767 dollar bill. I had to fork over me entire tax return plus 40 bucks. Then I got this truck when grandaddy died in 2013. The serpentine belt snapped one night and rather than the entire care becoming unusable, the power steering died, so I could still wrestle the wheel and safely get it into a parking lot. The next day, I walked to Advance Auto Parts, bought a $15 replacement belt, and installed it myself using only a breaker bar, two screwdrivers and a small ratchet set in under 25 minutes. The alternator died one winter... same tools, swapped the part out myself, which was about $100 after trading in the dead one. Water pump started leaking... same tools + a foil catch pan I got for a dollar at a supermarket, and maybe an hour of work (I was sick). Post-2000 vehicles have all these computers and sensors everywhere, and if one fails, the car won't start at all. So I like this old girl, as I can fix 80% of the problems on my own with little effort or money. The only thing I've ever had to take it to a shop for was a new muffler, as that requires welding.
I had to restart a Rivian van that way when it bricked itself while I was delivering for Amazon. Same problem. EVs in general appear quite underwhelming.
@@MajorHickE we’ve got a 2016 Ford Fusion Energi plug in hybrid…we love it and were extremely disappointed when Ford discontinued them. I think the manufacture of EV’s is probably best left to the pros. Tesla and Rivian will eventually be buried by the legacy auto manufacturerers due to their long established experience and skill at building quality vehicles.
@@MajorHickEright... evs bad because sometimes you have to reset the screen. Doesn't matter that they are 3x as efficient as a Gas powered vehicle or have a fraction of the moving parts! Do you work for exxon?
@@heydudewhatsup the van I was in bricked because the key FOb died and the dumb thing needed to be towed. Also, far better to invest in public transit than more cars, regardless of what they run on.
Throttlehouse had a video where they put 4 carrots in the way of the frunk closing and it chopped all the carrots in half. You can see 2 holes at the bottom of the accelerator pedal almost like that cover should have been screwed on but it’s missing the screws. The worst build quality.
At this rate people with cyberlink implants are going to be bleeding out their ears, lose the sense of smell and forget what "monday" means but they'll still thank him for the privilege.
The cybertruck needs all this special treatment that regular cars don't need, yet it's supposed to be a futurist survival machine. Survivalist! This thing is almost as fragile as Musk's ego! 😂
That accelerator thing is one reason why a physical knob that's easy to rapidly switch to neutral is good. Disengage the acceleration entirely. That garbage "truck" shouldn't have even be let on the road for so, so many reasons.
doesnt the carwashmode in itself imply that the truck cant handle rainfall with some stronger winds without the threat of becoming completely nonoperational? which, that feels dangerous for a thing called 'truck'
You mean the techno-savior was just trying to pump up his company's stock price? Add another one to his growing list of inventions: the car which cannot be carwashed. 😂
I can't believe they couldn't recognize the Naboo Starfighter from Episode 1 The Phantom Menace. Not to be confused with the modified Naboo Stardfighter piloted by Din Djarin during Season 3 of The Mandalorian.
The worse is that there was an engineer at tesla that raised the issue and even email Elon about the risk of that pedal getting stuck. Not with the exact scenario that happened I guess which is that people at the factory use soap where they were not supposed too which mean that the pedal cover wasn't fixated properly but still, even properly glued, it was a risk after some years of use. When you know of a security risk, even an unlikely one (which this one is without the manufacturing error on top), one that could clearly lead to deaths and that could reasonably get fixed and you do nothing about it, it is borderline criminal I think.
Ah no, it's not exactly that problem. Still, it's an interesting insight into how tesla ignores security risks. For the story, you can search for "My battle with Tesla: I want to clear my name before I die" on the BCC
I saw that, and the question is why do a cover that goes over the rubber ? And given the price there could be nice alloy wheels that don't need a cover (or do trucks only have steel rims for robustness?)
@@despaney I suspect the wheel covers were mandated by Elmo to achieve the look his “biological neural network” came up with. Thanks to his delusion of being an engineer I’m sure he overrode any actual engineers that Tesla might have, I’m certain that engineers at the tire manufacturer would have made clear to him what a dangerous, and stupid, idea those wheel covers are.
@@chi15800I don't think it's him. It's the people and culture at large *wanting* to believe him. "Wouldn't it be cool if we have a real Tony Stark a billionaire genius good guy who'll save us from systemic failures!" Meanwhile many are ignorant of how the broken system produces Billionaires and thus the rich are striving to keep it as it is. Buying into Musk as a fantasy feels better than "Oh god, man made terror of climate change is knocking at the door and I can't even afford a small apartment even before inflation. All caused by this damned monopoly. " Latter is a bitter reality that's hard to fix...
I know some cars have the same format of accelator coming up from the floor, but the benefit of having it hang down (as the break pedal appears to in the cybertruck) is even if the pedal cover slips off, it can simply be kicked out of the way, whereas in this situation it won’t and can easily cause serious issues. This was clearly an intentional design choice, but I cannot fathom the logic behind it - unless of course logic was not used.
My old phone actually could still function despite the screen not working. It got calls, alarms went off, etc. So why this "future truck" can't do something that a $60 nine (maybe older) year old phone could do is beyond ridiculous. Why are the basic functions of the vehicle tied to something as fallible as a touchscreen? That's only the beginning of everything wrong with this thing.
I doubt that is true, every cars accelerator peddle is in two pieces because it is metal covered in rubber. but the rubber usually wraps around and is very difficult to remove. sometimes it is screwed in place. that looks sketchy as hell though.
For years I’ve been mercilessly attacked for saying what an idiot Elon Musk is. Especially in comment sections when he was on SNL. Every week I feel more vindicated. I’m sure many of you feel the same way. 😁
With the stories out of Tesla, there absolutely is one... but Musk will just walk in at random and say "I don't like this" or "make it do that." No regard for standards or safety.

I love seeing these trucks breaking down. These things pollute SO MUCH compared to what normal electric vehicles do.. It's literally a 3 ton car.. With an ENORMOUS battery that is depleted just as quickly as any smaller EV.. But it's got like twice as many amps.. So much for environmentally friendly cars. The Cybertruck is the equivalent of rolling coal in an EV. Also, 90% of people who own pickup trucks and don't have a LOT of rust in the back or a completely tore up bedliner are morons who should have bought a normal car. Pickup trucks look dumb, and they've never been cool.. Yet people buy them and just use them as normal cars.. Never hauling a damn thing back there.. It's like buying a box car when you have no need for it.. Or like a semi and driving it around without a trailer.. Or just a tractor with a cool paint job.. These are vehicles meant for people who need to get stuff done.. And all the people who own these trucks basically just drive around and take up a lot of space.. Not to mention just how unsafe these cars are with nothing in the back. The suspension is literally made so that the car runs well with 800 kilos of stuff in the back.. When you have nothing back there, the rear suspension is stiff as hell and the cars sometimes just bounce all over the place when they go over bumps. Buy real cars ffs.. No one is going to believe you're a contractor if you come cruising with one of these enormous trucks. It's literally a manliness-multiplier for softboys. Like a stetson or mall ninja outfit.

You mention that the car is sharp. There are videos of people effortlessly peeling carrots and potatoes.
In the US, the law is written so that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration can only amend the vehicle safety standards to ban or force a recall of a car after an investigation. That investigation can only happen AFTER a “pattern of incidents” has occurred. E.g. Recently they recalled all Tesla self-driving software and made them update it to make it safer, based on their investigation which was launched AFTER cars were totalled, people were injured and some died. It’s one of the most absurd examples of crazy US safety regulations. They can only act AFTER people are dead. New cars have to follow the existing standards before they get put on the market, but if the manufacturer puts something in the car that is unsafe and is not yet covered by the existing code, they start selling them.
pretty much like the FDA

After selling used Tesla a few time they’re kinda ass.

Crazy to me. Basic car culture eludes Tesla in a very weird way that only a tech enthusiast can ignore
*tech fetishist
An enthusiast would have laughed at a Tesla. Musk is a curse for technological advancement. He siphons away public resources by getting insane gov subsidy and convincing politicians and the public to look away from actual tech advancement bc media is obsessed with "genius billionaires as saviour of humanity" narrative and aesthetics over substance innovation. US would've gotten high speed rails if it weren't for Musk, Musk alike blood suckers and car lobbying for decades.

Technology is supposed to make your life easier and more convenient.... but it's usually the other way around.
A car does not need a touch screen and an operating system... nor do i want it to have either.
Maybe i am old :P But i want more analog, and tactile controls.
To add to that - those operating systems are usually proprietary and impossible to replace, for no reason other than to make it difficult to install software you actually like. And of course that software tracks you and phones home with private data in a very insecure manner
We don't need to drive in a computer. Most people have phones to do all the magic. Cars n some trucks should not cost 70,000.oo. You really need a behemoth to haul all those costco goods
The biggest reason I don't try to get rid of my grandfather's 94 GMC Sierra C1500 is because I can fix it myself.
When I was driving my mom's old 2001 Sebring, the timing belt snapped one night. Had to get it towed and leave it in a shop for a week (with a guy who listened to Rush Limbaugh). $767 dollar bill. I had to fork over me entire tax return plus 40 bucks.
Then I got this truck when grandaddy died in 2013.
The serpentine belt snapped one night and rather than the entire care becoming unusable, the power steering died, so I could still wrestle the wheel and safely get it into a parking lot.
The next day, I walked to Advance Auto Parts, bought a $15 replacement belt, and installed it myself using only a breaker bar, two screwdrivers and a small ratchet set in under 25 minutes.
The alternator died one winter... same tools, swapped the part out myself, which was about $100 after trading in the dead one.
Water pump started leaking... same tools + a foil catch pan I got for a dollar at a supermarket, and maybe an hour of work (I was sick).
Post-2000 vehicles have all these computers and sensors everywhere, and if one fails, the car won't start at all. So I like this old girl, as I can fix 80% of the problems on my own with little effort or money. The only thing I've ever had to take it to a shop for was a new muffler, as that requires welding.
And what’s the deal with holding buttons down for 30 seconds then waiting another 30 seconds? Are these things running Windows 3.1?

Duh 😆
Not knowing that proves my entire life has been wasted on irrelevant pursuits.
NERRRRDDDDD! Now if you’ll excuse me I have Firefly reruns to watch.
The worse is that there was an engineer at tesla that raised the issue and even email Elon about the risk of that pedal getting stuck. Not with the exact scenario that happened I guess which is that people at the factory use soap where they were not supposed too which mean that the pedal cover wasn't fixated properly but still, even properly glued, it was a risk after some years of use.
When you know of a security risk, even an unlikely one (which this one is without the manufacturing error on top), one that could clearly lead to deaths and that could reasonably get fixed and you do nothing about it, it is borderline criminal I think.
Ah no, it's not exactly that problem. Still, it's an interesting insight into how tesla ignores security risks.

Wait. The wheel covers chew the sidewalls on the tires to shreds. Apparently none of the “engineers” at Tesla are familiar with sidewall flexion.

this happens when you dont have regulations.
It'll take some time before I see one. The Cybertruck isn't street legal in Europe due to its weight.
Nor are the sharp edges allowed here, thankfully.
I know some cars have the same format of accelator coming up from the floor, but the benefit of having it hang down (as the break pedal appears to in the cybertruck) is even if the pedal cover slips off, it can simply be kicked out of the way, whereas in this situation it won’t and can easily cause serious issues. This was clearly an intentional design choice, but I cannot fathom the logic behind it - unless of course logic was not used.
Now that’s pod racing!

Wizard!
My old phone actually could still function despite the screen not working. It got calls, alarms went off, etc. So why this "future truck" can't do something that a $60 nine (maybe older) year old phone could do is beyond ridiculous. Why are the basic functions of the vehicle tied to something as fallible as a touchscreen?
That's only the beginning of everything wrong with this thing.
I doubt that is true, every cars accelerator peddle is in two pieces because it is metal covered in rubber. but the rubber usually wraps around and is very difficult to remove. sometimes it is screwed in place.
that looks sketchy as hell though.
For years I’ve been mercilessly attacked for saying what an idiot Elon Musk is. Especially in comment sections when he was on SNL. Every week I feel more vindicated. I’m sure many of you feel the same way. 😁

I love seeing these trucks breaking down. These things pollute SO MUCH compared to what normal electric vehicles do.. It's literally a 3 ton car.. With an ENORMOUS battery that is depleted just as quickly as any smaller EV.. But it's got like twice as many amps..
So much for environmentally friendly cars. The Cybertruck is the equivalent of rolling coal in an EV.
Also, 90% of people who own pickup trucks and don't have a LOT of rust in the back or a completely tore up bedliner are morons who should have bought a normal car. Pickup trucks look dumb, and they've never been cool.. Yet people buy them and just use them as normal cars.. Never hauling a damn thing back there.. It's like buying a box car when you have no need for it.. Or like a semi and driving it around without a trailer.. Or just a tractor with a cool paint job..
These are vehicles meant for people who need to get stuff done.. And all the people who own these trucks basically just drive around and take up a lot of space.. Not to mention just how unsafe these cars are with nothing in the back. The suspension is literally made so that the car runs well with 800 kilos of stuff in the back.. When you have nothing back there, the rear suspension is stiff as hell and the cars sometimes just bounce all over the place when they go over bumps.
Buy real cars ffs.. No one is going to believe you're a contractor if you come cruising with one of these enormous trucks. It's literally a manliness-multiplier for softboys. Like a stetson or mall ninja outfit.
