Tesla Cybertruck Owner Crashes Truck Into Building the Day It Was Delivered

Dumb enough to buy that piece of shit, dumb enough to drive it into a building I guess.

Maybe he had a very fast, very intense buyers remorse experience and decided the only dignified way out is to absolutely wreck the terrible investment out of spite.
- Haha, OK, I'd have to grudgingly respect that move.

Ok so the truck with a stainless steel exterior that actually rusts, that is bullet proof but only against 9mm rounds, this electrically powered thing that is gonna have you survive the apocalypse (where I'm sure the cell networks and electrical power grid will be functional)...

...this things wheel's come off when you hit a... 10 inch high concrete slab at... 30 mph? Less?

I mean, I get thats a bit much to ask from all but a military grade MRAP or L-ATV or something... but isnt that /basically/ what Elon has marketed this thing as? An apocalypse proof vehicle?

If only the guy had crashed it into a decently deep fountain we could see how well its amphibious mode works.

Is that feature still in the 'fever dream' stage of development or do they actually offer it as additional feature?

To clear up some confusion. "Military Grade" just means the cheapest bid. It's not some magic Indestructible Modifier.
- If you are going to tell me that an MRAP or L-ATV is not built to much, much higher durability, survivability and capability standards than a consumer grade vehicle, you're off your rocker.
  Yes. Military Grade 'stuff' is often done by lowest bidders. Whoah, so are nearly all consumer products!
  The difference in this case is fundamentally different approaches to design. Hugely different kinds of suspension systems and body design, etc.
  No, its obviously not a literal indestructibility modifier.
  But it sure goes a long way further toward it in many cases.
- There are legitimate military-grade designations. Military-grade encryption is one. It entails a mandatory physical component. Quite expensive without even considering the logistics behind securing such a device. Not cheap by any means, and yet it really bothers me that you can buy "military-grade" encryption without the hardware for consumer products. That's.....just regular encryption guys...
  For stuff that legitimately has such designations on the consumer side, it's not just cheap - it's incorrect, incompatible, or illegal.
The only thing I would say is that solar power will be a lot more abundant than gasoline during an apocalypse
- But probably not enough to charge your massive Cybertruck from your house's roof panels.
- You clearly aren't familiar with mad max
- How long would it take to fully charge a CyberTruck on Solar Panels?
  So, as I am currently aware, the best consumer available solar panels in the US are 22.8% efficient, meaning 228W per square meter.
  Assuming 12 hours of day, 12 hours of night, and Fixed Panels, you end up with roughly a 25% efficiency loss from that first efficiency figure, factoring in dust build up, inverter/battery system inefficiency, temperature dependent efficiency loss, average cloud cover and numerous other factors.
  22.8 * .75 = 17.1
  Sooo... to generate a full charge of CyberTruck, roughly 123 kWh...
  171 watt hours * X sq m * 12 hours of daylight =
  = Y watt hours generated per day.
  Ok... so lets target Y as a full charge in one day.
  171 watt hours * X sq m * 12 hours per day=
  = 123000 watt hours per day
  Solve for X.
  171 x 12 = 2052
  123000 / 2052 ~= 60
  60 square meters of solar panels.
  To be able to fully charge a Cyber Truck.
  In the apocalypse.
  So I hope you also have a small militia to guard your small compound of easily broken or damaged solar panels in the apocalypse.
  Say youve got an array of 1x1 meter panels on the ground, spaced half a meter each with a fence around it, 6 rows of 10, then a meter to a fence.
  The panels are angled at 35 degrees , so their foot print size is more like 1m x ~0.9m
  So thats:
  61 + (60.5) + 2 = 11m
  x
  100.9 + (100.9*0.5) + 2 = 15.5m
  So basically, you need a plot of land roughly 170.5 sq m, or roughly 1534.5 sq ft just for solar panels.
  So basically, in the apocalypse, youre gonna have something like your entire front yard as a solar panel field.
  Estimated cost of setting this all up would be... what, nearly 200,000 dollars if you build the entire thing yourself, double that if you pay people to build it for you? Months of build time, half a year if you do it yourself?
  Seems like a very practical way to prepare for and survive an apocalypse. Very inconspicuous.
  Spend an absurd amount of money and time to be able to drive at most 175 ish miles away and then back to home base, never able to go further away in case of i dont know a mass group of starving violent people, unless you know a string of buddies every 330ish miles who /also/ have their own solar front yards they'll just agree to let you use.
Just don't drive it the day your building is delivered and you'll be just fine.

Images of the crash have circulated widely online, along with a rumor that the crash was caused by a valet—whom Tesla CEO Elon Musk publicly mocked. But now, multiple outlets report no valet was involved, just one dunce of a Tesla owner. Or should we say former Tesla owner?

Savage. Also, fuck Elon

Enough money to buy a Cybertruck, but not enough to pay for self driving? Do Teslas not even include free automatic braking for accident avoidance?

Accident... avoidance?
The thing is designed to dismember pedestrians, why would they want to avoid accidents?
- As much as I hate Elon Musk, I prefer for my own sanity to believe that it wasn't designed to kill pedestrians, it's just that Elon is such an idiot that his version of The Homer was built without even considering them because that front just looked cool to Elon and he said they had to make it that way.

I'll say that when I transitioned to an EV from a 20 year old SUV, the torque difference was extreme. Adjusting to that and learning 1 pedal driving at the same time... it could cause an accident, for sure.

I went from 60ps ICE to 300kW dual motor EV and the only problems I have is when overtaking on the motorway. I used to have to put the pedal to the floor to go from 60 to 70 mph. Now when I floor it in my EV at 60mph I'm at about 100 in a few seconds, it's frightening.
EVs are definitely unnecessarily fast for retards like me
