Lara Croft’s boobs had more curves in 1996

How is this news. A car can be towed for several reasons other than mechanical problems.

It's not out yet and it's already been illegally parked

[–] Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah my first thought is if it's not for sale yet, then maybe this isn't a mechanical failure

[–] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

As it's not released, it's probably illegal (contractually) to drive it on a public road. This is likely more akin to seeing tech writers with unreleased hardware.

[–] Aliendelarge@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Reading the article would indicate the truck was towed for being parked illegally.

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 43 points 11 months ago (2 children)

its not good at cyber and its not good at truck. who is supposed to buy this useless thing?

I’d’ve thought that’d be self evident.

[–] Psiczar@aussie.zone 38 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This car reminds me so much of the one designed by Homer Simpson. Even Cybertruck as a model name makes me cringe, and this is coming from someone who quite likes the existing Tesla models.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It looks like someone drew the outline for it in crayon on a napkin, then demanded it be put into production.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (3 children)

More like some one stole from the set of some junky 80’s sci-fi action flick. damnation alley or maybe tango and cash…

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's very reminiscent of the "future cars" in Back to the Future 2

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, but, I actually like BTTF2, so I wasn’t gonna go there.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Tango and Cash exactly what that truck reminds me of! Definitely Elon design this himself and it looks just like what a child would dream up.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Great movie! Always loved it and the truck was kick ass.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

The BattleBagos from Damnation Alley were awesome!

[–] Crow@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (4 children)

I hate that I like the look of this truck. I hate everything else about it, and want to be fully on board with the hate train having fun poking at this monstrosity, but I just can’t help but have some shit taste when it comes to the look of trucks…

[–] vanontom@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Maybe the concept. Or edited photos from far away. Take a realistic, close-up look, and prepare to be disappointed. And the steel seems about as "fun" to take care of as a boat.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I mean, if there goal was to recreate some 90’s era video game graphics for nostolgia. Megarace, maybe.

[–] RushingSquirrel@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

At least it's different. I can't tell one truck from another. GMC, Ford, Ram, Chevrolet, they look exactly the same.

And why do you want to join a hate train? Love trains are better ❤️

[–] snek@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Why is this car rendered in such bad quality?

[–] Potatofish@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

A stupid truck deserves a stupid headline, I guess?

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It doesn't even deserve an article.

[–] rifugee@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It just occurred to me that these things look sort of like the Zumwalt class stealth destroyers. Has anyone tested this thing against police radar guns? I mean it's still ugly as hell, but if it's harder for the cops to bust you for speeding...

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

The front is flat. It will be a perfect mirror for the radar. If anything it will be easier to lock on to.

[–] stopthatgirl7@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I really don't understand why Musk insisted on bringing what should have been just a concept vehicle to market.

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

People put down money for it years ago.

[–] stopthatgirl7@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

Which Tesla never should have done. It should have always been just a proof of concept at best.
