[Melon Husk/cybertruck] The guy's still at it with his "but my three ton vehicle can totally be a boat!!!" nonsense

......I seriously wonder sometimes if this man escaped from a comic book and hasn't bothered to tell us. Cause that's pure comic book logic that only works when Batman or Lex Luthor does it.
Nox
I don't know, both of them are at least smart enough they'd probably include a means to steer and power it
Nox
and also not do this with a vehicle with doors that weigh 60 pounds each
Nox
Because good luck opening those against any kind of resistance
Year of the Cat
Well, if he dies testing it like what happened with the Titanic sub guy, one less lunatic billionaire in the world.
Nox
There is a zero percent chance he's ever going to do that himself
Nox
he's going to "let" his employees go first

Did Elon Musk once steal forty cakes and that's as many as four tens and that's bad? Cuz that's the vibe
vampiricist
Also I saw a truck hauling some of the cybertrucks the other day they are so fuck ugly
Nox
They can also apparently only really be sold in the US, since pedestrian safety laws would completely outlaw them. So Europe as a whole is out.
Nox
Gonna love anyone who buys one finding out what they're going to cost to insure.
Nox
Especially since they'll be expensive as hell for any kind of body repair.
Nox
You can't just "pop a dent" out of stainless steel that thick

omg

flashbacks of The Homer car...
Cookie Politics
so I guess we can add DUKWs to the list of things that have existed for decades that he's trying to claim to invent without actually understanding the technology along with space ships and social media platforms
Nox
Pretty much
vampiricist
dude LBJ owned an actual amphicar that was pretty seaworthy (or at least lake worthy) so you are not new and special, my man
Nox
he was also a dick about it, though tbf, I would be too
Nox
loved terrifying dignitaries by pretending to panic that the brakes were out and barreling into a lake
Nox
which I feel like is practically a condition of ownership with something like that
vampiricist
oh no he absolutely pulled "pranks" on people being like OH NO I'VE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR lol jk it is also a boat

so, based on his previous "work", I wouldn't trust this car in the water
vampiricist
i mean. technically all cars can be briefly boats. the trick is getting them to be cars again after
Nox
Oh the kicker with cybertruck is that you know somebody's gonna be dumb enough to try it in salt water.
Nox
the ocean sees your stainless steel and says to get fucked, it doesn't care how "stainless" you think it is
Nox
it's gonna corrode the hell out of it
Cookie Politics
I mean, his companies electric cars already corrode with a simple car wash, and that isn't even salt water
vampiricist
My dad and I were talking about it today and he said that an autobody guy had to repair one, just for like. A really basic "oops I backed into a lamp post" repair
vampiricist
Which would be maybe 2,500 on a normal car
vampiricist
20k to fix it in this piece of shit
Cookie Politics
that price to repair would be considered totaled for most reasonable cars
Nox
Yep.
Nox
if they even have the ability to repair it in their shop to begin with

Roll Fizzlebeef
Another thing to note? LBJ's car had an open top. Anything went wrong and they could bail out. Not so much with the Cybertruck.
Nox
Yep. They get to try moving a big 60 pound door against the water.
Spookitty
I think maybe everyone considering buying one should have to watch the Mythbusters episode on submerged car escapes.
