will cost much less to maintain
They break down constantly even when they aren't being shot at. Besides, the point of stuff like this is that it's proven, you wouldn't want to be an early adopter even if the Cybertruck wasn't garbage.
showcases the pinnacle of American engineering
I have to agree, just not in a complimentary way.
As I see cars pass by I constantly think to myself why the fuck would you buy an American shitbox over a Toyota/Honda when it literally costs the same? Seriously, what the fuck is going on here?
Some older (circa 1990s-2000s) GMs and even Fords have better rustproofing than their Japanese counterparts, and even American manufacturers occasionally could design a decent engine, like the (non-supercharged) Buick/Pontiac/Oldsmobile 3.8L V6. For every 1997 Dodge Intrepid with the sludge factory 2.7L, there's about 0.001 2004 Buick LeSabres that would probably make it to 300k if the owners bothered to do basic maintenance on them.
American car manufacturers occasionally had their moments. And shit, even Toyota isn't infallible -- sudden acceleration recalls aside, they had another major recall with 4 cylinder-equipped models in the late 2000s/early 2010s where they decided to change the style of piston rings to something that the engine wasn't designed for. The result was that the engine would consume oil at a pretty alarming rate; something like a quart per 500 miles. The fix was a complete engine rebuild (necessary in order to swap out the low-tension rings for the older style), and they did perform this work under warranty for new vehicles at the time, but there are plenty of old Camry, RAV4, and Corolla models floating around out there that never had the recall work done, and they're no longer eligible.
This is all used market stuff, obvi.
showcases the pinnacle of American engineering (derogatory)
Former WWE figure and Secretary of Transportation Linda McMahon was sworn in as the 48th President of the United States of America today after a known software bug caused a motorcade of administration leaders as well as members of the house and senate to reverse into a lake.
American engineering is so efficient actually, because the Twelve Colonies of Kobol had to create an entire species of malevolent androids to accidentally wipe their administration out to the point of the 19th person in line for the presidency to get into office.
Who would win in a fight:

Cybertruck driver: Trained by the US Secret Service to cope
I didn't know all that about the president's car. When you need to start carrying bags of your blood type around, maybe the system has gone too far? Like, maybe in a functional system, the president should just be able to walk around normally?
"The Beast" always carries the president's blood type. Normal thing in a democracy
I mean, it makes sense for the secret service to be paranoid about cars after JFK
They don't have to look outside of DC to find the people who arranged that, maybe the car wasn't the issue lol
Yes but when Kim Jong Un walks among his people freely that's because of the cult of personality and totalitarian state, we Americans have the freedom to despise and hate our leaders that they're scared of us. /s
that βbeastβ pic makes me want to do a 90s style action movie with generic Eastern European bad guys where the plot revolves around the fact that the drivers side window does open 3β
Poisoned dagger fitted onto a colonoscopy camera.
They first cause a roadblock in the motorcade using IEDs, and take people in the crowd hostage as a human shield around their specialist to control the camera.
The hero is an ex-troop turned traffic cop who's wife and daughter are amongst the hostages, now fighting for his life to save his loved ones and also his family (
).

Secret service can do a J turn? That's scary
Not everyone has the time -- or the skills -- to do the Burton Guster Maneuver

The future secret service 
Pls pls pls do this it would be so funny.
I can't wait for the hilarious malfunctions and chaos that would result from that.
Like secret service goons getting locked inside an updating Cybertruck. He shoots the lock and somehow the battery catches on fire.
I remember the shit they gave Obama for wanting to use an iPhone instead of a BlackBerry.
Totally endorse changing out the entire vehicle model for the presidential limo. Maybe we can use the Cybertruck with the image of Trump getting shot wrapped on it as a Prototype
I don't get it... was the video of the guy shooting his CT with his 22 and putting a hole right through it not enough evidence that this thing isn't bulletproof.
Who are you going to believe more, observable reality or the greatest genius smart man who invented everything, E~L~O~N?
Oh right, I forgot that E~L~O~N is like the Iron Man. How foolish of me.
Or when they smashed the "nuclear proof" window with like a boule ball or whatever.
Airforce 1 should be a big cybertruck with wings
Tesla continues its R&D from old video games
Also, I desperately want to see Trump being dispatched via missile
The headlines:
"DIVORCED TECH ENTREPRENEUR KILLS PRESIDENT IN TRANSPORT DISASTER, BLAMES RUSSIAN BOTS"
Cybertruck fleet will cost MUCH less to maintain
Bazinga brains do this thing where they ignore reality because they've been told that things will be better in the future. Another example is supporters of generative AI, who ignore all the pollution that AI data centers cause, because they've been told that there's a whole energy efficiency revolution happening around AI right now
Source: I made it the fuck up
Technically if at the first damage you write off the entire thing because it's fucked that's 0 maintenance cost on a per car basis
already comes bulletproof
description of bodily harm
There is this video of a guy showcasing how the cybertruck detects if something is blocking some door automatically closing and not closing it further, he tries it on a twig first, it fails twig snaps in half, "lets hope this doesn't happen to my finger haha", tries it on his finger ............... it doesn't snap in half, but it for sure is crushed. As in the bone.
Ok yeah i have to look this up
The video (please help me hexbot)
Hahahaha! Hahahahahahahaha! wheeze... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You could hit the president's vehicle with an RPG and I sincerely believe it would shrug it off having seen how thick the armour is. The Cybertruck is a tin toy by comparison. This is a stupid idea and Trump would never go for it, he knows.
The beast has self contained climate control so it can survive a gas attack it's got full systems to recycle internal air.
The cybertruck can't go through a car wash because it's just got wires sitting in channels that fill up with water.
Tin toy with a massive incendiary device built into its chassis
Don't forget the doors fail and lock you inside the car in the event of battery failure! (i.e car battery fire) π₯π

(as opposed to a tank of gasoline, which as we all know isn't incendiary)
You can at least put out a gasoline fire through conventional means and gasoline has a much higher autoignition temperature than you'd expect. Lithium fires, on the other hand, hoo boy... It's the difference between a moist firecracker and a brick of C4.
Edit: Typo/fact check, again -- gasoline has an absurdly low flash point (minimum temp to emit fumes), but a somewhat high autoignition temperature (what it sounds like); I was thinking of diesel.
pinnacle of American Engineering
USAmerican made products have a reputation for falling apart if you breathe on them aggressively
Yea to get something for the same quality as something manufactured anywhere else it's going to cost 10x as much and weigh 5x as much
What about a team of monkeys on tricycles pulling a bulletproof hamster ball??? Thatd be cool too
Don't be needlessly cruel to monkeys. Dress the secret service agents up in monkey costumes and you've got the grant
You: It is the pinnacle of american engineering (approving)
Me: It is the pinnacle of american engineering (disgusted)
Please do.
You spray paint one of the sensors and it gets bricked or something.
imagine how quickly Tesla could crumble if this happened and Trump was finally shown how fucking awful the average Elon snakeoil project is. Donald's vendettas against companies that wrong him is usually pretty hilarious
I'm all for people responsible for trump's safety riding around in death traps.
Please do this, all I'll have to do to outrun the feds is go up a slightly muddy hill.
