And they're rolling dumpsters.

TIL

FSD=Fully Self Detonating.

Trekkies everywhere: Did somebody say....self destruct sequence‽
- Detonate the warp core!

I actually, genuinely thought it was an accidental fire.

Speaks to the shit reputation those shit trucks deservedly have. But also how dumb of a location for an intentional fire.

See that's the thing.

Is a trunk/bed full of fireworks and gas average cyber truck stupidity or a real lazy attempt at arson/terrorism.
- I think it might have been more about the message a burning cybertruck, in front of a trump hotel, right by the trump sign, sends, than it was about the violence. Especially since the person is military trained and knew this wasn't going to go all OKC federal building.

The Delorean fan in me loves the asthetic and used to get jealous.

Cyber trucks being POS deathtraps that basically fall to pieces when you breath on them, their inability to do anything a normal truck can do, and the fact they make you bleed touching an door alleviated that completely.

So thanks for making them embarrassing junkers, Elon.

I almost agree with you, but the subtle changes made from the concept to reality make it not even look cool like it could've
For the comparison.
I don't think you can compare the two really.
- Certainly not for use case.
  
  One was a sports car
  
  One is (supposed to be) a pickup truck
  
  But it's clear to me what they were going for asthetically. There's a bunch of people who already did BTTF prop time machine conversions.
  
  That said, I wouldn't buy a cyber truck because they're poorly built, poorly engineered, and unsafe.
Except that Delorean does not equal a Cyber Truck.
I keep hearing that they keep falling apart and catching fire, yet no one links pictures. I have seen exactly one out of the 27 thousand that is claimed to have had a battery fire and looks like it did.
- Bro, what's Elon's cock taste like? You've been sucking it all over this thread.

My first thought was literally "was it a bomb or did the batteries ignite?"

"car"

Self controlled IED

The cyber truck is exactly what I would expect from someone whos only job experience is memes and shitposts. A rolling dumpster fire, mocked by everyone.

Eh, my kids think they're cool, so they have the K-6 market cornered.
- No offense to your kids specifically, but children are dumb as fuck.

"The future should look like the future." - Elon Musk

The cybertruck future looks like 1982's Blade Runner.

Syd Mead should slap you in the face for saying that.
- Hey, it was supposed to look bad. A dystopian future where the entire earth was basically a third world country where all the good stuff was manufactured for the off world colonies.

Now please all aboard the SpaceX rocket everybody! A 6 barrel revolver with a single bullet is added for a fun game of Russian roulette. Just to out your mind at ease, the gun is not the biggest threat to your life.

SpaceX hasn't killed anyone, incidentally it's also the company musk has the least power over.
- I wouldn't necessarily call those two facts "incidental". I'd be pretty confident calling it "cause and effect".
- There’s still time
- Tesla is publicly traded and has a board of directors. I believe Musk has more than half the votes though
  
  SpaceX is privately owned by him and Gwynne Shotwell only serves as COO because Musk is happy with her in that role
- And? That is the bar it needs to cross to not be a steaming bad of turds?

akchually this can be legitimately spinned in favour of tesla

police are already saying that the explosion wasn’t as bad because it went off inside a cybertruck

Cops will say any damn thing that lets them lick the boot
- Cops and simping for the rich, name a better duo
Yeah, it would have been worse if it went off inside something valuable
Pedestrians should be thankful that the windows gave out so easily, otherwise the body panels might've turned into giant shrapnel.
- Or that the guy wasn't good at bombs. If it has been filled with ANFO they would have been identifying victims from tiny parts and investigating by video evidence. Many in the hotel would have been killed
Except in the case of an accidental fire, apparently the doors lock down and trap the drivers? That’s what I took away.

How is that better?
- While parked if the car no longer detects a key it locks. It's still easy to open from inside. Emergency services can gain entry with an angle grinder
  
  I'm sure during a collision they unlock
  
  In this case I think the key went offline due to the explosion
Which is a weird fucking thing for a cop to immediately say when police also said explosion included "an electric vehicle" that they wouldn't specifically identify right away.

If Trump were already in office I would still think they were covering it up with the claims of explosives.

conspiracy in my opinion: that guy was shot in the head and dumped into that car and then blown up for threatening to out Trump or Musk for some dirty dirty shit.

Someone threatened a powerful person and then the powerful person made sure to retaliate in a highly public way which would link their own brand to the murder?
- Sometimes I wonder why my conservative family thinks that liberals are just as conspiratorial as conservatives, then I come across the comment you responded to and go "yeaaaah still don't agree but I see where you would think that" lol
Well that's the most fun conspiracy I've seen yet. Unfortunately it doesn't work as there is video of the vehicle stopping, no one getting in or out, then it exploding
- Ummm, didn't musk actually just hold a snake oil press party were he had people remotely drive his vehicles and told the sycophants it was perfect safe robot magic driving the cars?
  
  Kind of fucks your rebuttal there... What else you got?

I WANT to give him that credit, but he's never made anything in his life.

Made? Probably not. But I'm sure he's responsible for pushing them out onto the streets knowing what potentially dangerous garbage they are.

Ol kekius dick suckius made the shittiest car in existence
