the triplets would steal scrooge's credit card to buy a cybertruck, i fear

[gurggggleburgle]

I can't explain why or how but I know in my heart that Tianlang-Jun is both canceled and banned on twitter

Not only did i have the displeasure of seeing my first cybertruck but i also had the displeasure of driving through syracuse. its just one dick twist after another in the central region

saw my first tesla cybertruck in the wild today. good fucking lord that is the ugliest vehicle i have ever laid eyes on

"We live in a world ruled by fictions of every kind—mass merchandising, advertising, politics conducted as a branch of advertising, the instant translation of science and technology into popular imagery, the increasing blurring and intermingling of identities within the realm of consumer goods, the preempting of any free or original imaginative response to experience by the television screen.

We live inside an enormous novel. For the writer in particular it is less and less necessary for him to invent the fictional content of his novel. The fiction is already there. The writer's task is to invent the reality."

— JG Ballard, Crash

I'm very much a car guy but i don't think you need to be one to understand how crumple zones work and why they're great and it's painful seeing people ignore how important they are

Electrical engineer with experience in designing wiring systems for trucks (and similar applications) here.

Look, I loathe Elon Musk as much as the rest of y’all, and I think the Cybertruck is an ugly-ass shitshow with an assortment of other problems, but the information here is isn’t really accurate to how this system works. Which isn’t surprising, considering that cybrtrkguy seems to be completely misunderstanding the way this whole thing gets wired up.

A typical motor vehicle has a central controller. Everything else gets fed back to it through wires that are usually bundled into harnesses depending on what part of the vehicle it’s coming from. For example, your brake lights, backup camera, rear blinkers, and everything else on the back of your car will have its wiring sent back through a harness all the way to the front of the car, where the aforementioned controller is. (It’s actually a bit more complicated than that, but that’s the basic idea.)

For the Cybertruck, Tesla replaced the main controller with a network of smaller, localized controllers; with a main harness to facilitate communication between the controllers (and, of course, send power to the local controllers/distribution boxes to distribute as needed).

As someone who’s had to design, work on, and troubleshoot electrical systems for vehicles and larger diesel engine-based power systems…this isn’t a terrible idea; in fact, I can see the appeal of it. In addition to the cost savings that comes from reducing the amount of wiring needed to make the truck work, they’ve also made it so that any problems that arise are localized - that is, if something goes wrong with the components in your passenger-side door, all of the reworking and rewiring will take place inside the door itself. There’s no need to have to trace wires all the way to the front of the truck, get under the hood, pull panels off the dashboard, etc.; all the work you’re doing is in one place. I would think that, for similar reasons, manufacturing would be simpler. (Ironically, the criticism of this system having a single point of failure is backwards - by spreading control of individual systems across multiple networked controllers, they’ve spread out the possible points of failure.)

Granted, I still think the Cybertruck is a dumpster fire, but not because of the wiring.

a few years ago i swore i would never make a twitter account but I got tempted by the devil and made one anyways and now that whole thing is going to the shitter and using that account is a net negative on society so really i'm an idiot

Inside 2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe with Genesis’s Trevor Lai

The all-new 2025 Genesis GV80 just might be the best-looking of the coupe-like SUV that has recently flooded the luxury market. Genesis’s Trevor Lai, the brand’s senior group manager of product planning, certainly thinks so, and he sat down for an in-depth interview with Host Jack Nerad at the vehicle’s recent first-drive event in Minnesota. Essentially starting where the GV80 SUV leaves off in…

saw a real cybertruck yesterday and it looked as stupid as they do in the pictures. it looks like a child's first attempt at drawing a car. its geometry would make hp lovecraft piss himself in terror. I was riding backseat to my older brother and his boyfriend and so when we saw it we all turned to rubberneck at Silly Fucking Idiot McGee, riding the Griftermobile.

Unsafe Design? Experts Raise Concerns about Tesla Cybertruck - Technology Org

Unsafe Design? Experts Raise Concerns about Tesla Cybertruck - Technology Org

The safety of Tesla’s Cybertruck is raising concerns among experts due to its angular design that features sharp edges and stiff stainless-steel exoskeleton structure which is most likely not compatible with the latest trends in automotive safety.

Six safety professors and officials, who analyzed crash test videos presented during a webcast delivery event, expressed worries about potential harm to pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles on the road, Reuters wrote in a recently published article.

Despite discussions on social media regarding the live-streamed crash test videos on November 30, experts emphasized the need for comprehensive crash-test data to draw definitive conclusions about the vehicle’s safety.

Previously, regulatory authorities were unimpressed by Elon Musk’s statements about the car’s ‘waterproof’ rating.

“The big problem there is if they really make the skin of the vehicle very stiff by using thick stainless steel, then when people hit their heads on it, it’s going to cause more damage to them,” explained Adrian Lund, the former president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the organization responsible for an industry-standard for vehicle crash tests.

Previously, Tesla highlighted the Cybertruck’s structural elements designed to absorb impact during crashes. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he was confident in the Cybertruck’s safety, claiming it would be safer for both occupants and pedestrians than other vehicles of the same class.

The vehicle’s unique design features flat planes and long, linear edges, making it visually distinct. It is the first car with a stainless-steel exterior since the introduction of the DeLorean car in 1985’s “Back to the Future.” Musk mentioned that the material’s toughness even caused the stamping machine to break while forming the panels.

This film from 1996 is about getting horny over car wrecks.

But like, I still don't think the Cybertruck would make anyone horny.
