I finally saw a Cybertruck on the road today. I didn’t know whether to feel sorry for the driver because he’d been scammed, or just laugh at him.

RGB3x3,

Somebody listens to MBMBAM

blazeknave,

There was one behind me on the way to dropping my kid off this morning. I hate them. It was like that Kurt Russel grindhouse shit. Worse than having a semi on your bumper. Listening to reggae, cracking jokes and giggling, telling me about Pokemon and shit, having a great morning together… then there’s this electric murder truck haunting us.

I can’t not think of the reports about them not crumpling and just slaughtering anyone in their wake- is that true or disinfo?

Matriks404,

Now I am question whether incel is pronounced [inkel] or [insel] like I previously thought.

blazeknave,

No, it’s pronounced like gif

some_guy,

This started my day with a good chuckle. Thanks!

inclementimmigrant,

insideevs.com/…/simone-giertz-truckla-update/

The better version in my opinion.

I watched the original video a few years ago. I had forgotten how cool Truckla is, and how likable Simone is.

emmeram,

I thought Inc-El was a play on inconel and that this meme was about how extremely cool the Cybertruck is.

I was confused.

Then I thought about it.

morbidcactus,

I honestly thought the same thing, which would be extremely cool. But, could you even imagine how much an inconel clad cybertruck would be?

IsThisAnAI,

You have lost your mind if you actually believe cyber truck owners and incels overlap in a diagram.

Smoogs,

Oh hai incel

IsThisAnAI,

I’m sorry your meme material isn’t based in reality and you feel the need to act out on that.

Smoogs,

You certainly personalized it a lot for someone who thinks it’s not hitting near reality.

IsThisAnAI,

👌👍

AFKBRBChocolate,

What’s your reasoning?

IsThisAnAI,

You really think high income earners and influencers looking to show off their tech overlaps with incels? The demographics don’t line up.

Look I think the thing is trash, but it’s not incels buying these.

mindbleach,

On the El Camino, I take the James May doctrine:

There should only be one. In a museum. As a warning.

Part of me wonders if the goofy, incomprehensible, hard-right pundit persona Musk has embodied over the past few years is just a character concocted to self trucks to Rednecks.

Then I remember he’s a moron.

natural_motions,

And just like an incel, it gets incapacitated if you put it through the wash.

Smoogs,

How did a piece of shit like that get a pass for being road worthy?

natural_motions,

Partly, I’d imagine, because Musk has made an effort to frame it as a “technology platform” rather than simply a vehicle.

His image as this innovative tech pioneer has historically given him leeway with legislators and transport officials.

You saw it similarly with the stupid Waymo self-driving cars in San Francisco; because it’s painted as this emerging technology of the future it suddenly becomes ok to test it out on the public.

Billionaires are afforded this assumption that they are especially competent in general, so we get things like Musks “hyperloop” and Bill Gates’ failed meddling in education reform that ended in abject failure. It’s that effect of “Well, they’re super rich so they must know what they’re talking about.”

Z nation?

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yes indeed. The only zombie TV show I’ve liked.

Damage,

Until it went completely off the rails

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Nonsense. The more it went off the rails, the better it got.

Radioactive zombies? Super potent weed grown out of zombie heads? Giant zombie ball? Killing a horde of zombies with a massive wheel of cheese? I loved it all.

The El Camino is such an awesome car.

mindbleach,

Eugh.

Peppycito,

Always fast, never slow El Camino

Can I introduce you to the much cooler named Dodge Rampage?

Shotgun_Alice,

Amateurs

For real though, I would in un-ironically own any of these but the cyber truck can go ahead and fuck off.

PP_BOY_,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

I was expecting that to link to a Subaru Brat tbh the Ranchero feels a lot more normie than the Rampage. I agree though. I wish Utes never left the US market

homesweethomeMrL,

I love the Brat seats in the back bed, with handles on ‘em, like “Good luck!”

Anticorp,

Subaru made the Baja too, which was like a sleeker Brat.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely a better name than Plymouth Scamp.

MY TRUCK HAS THE POWER OF A RAMPAGING RHINO vs. Oh, truck! You scamp! I can’t stay mad at you for having a faulty transmission!

Edit: That link led me to a page about the VW SEAT Inca. Look at this thing.

brbposting,

VW Seat Inca? Course it is

Also a coffin inca judging by the shape of it.

Damage,

That’s a common sort of van in Europe. Another example is the OG fiat fiorino https://feddit.it/pictrs/image/ce7cdd9f-759f-413a-b513-68261e2bed02.webp

Man, America has all the boring cars. And the one time someone does something different, we end up with the fucking Cybertruck.

Anticorp,

Excuse me, but we did have the El Camino and Dodge Rampage. We also have the Jeep Wrangler.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Pff. I’ll take a Fiat Fiorino over all of those. That thing looks awesome.

I used to want a Jeep Wrangler. Then I sat in one. With the seat back as far as it could go, my knees were still jamming into the steering wheel.

Anticorp,

Are you like 7’ tall or something?

Kolanaki, (edited )
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Almost; 6 and a half.

Need the bigger wrangler. Forgot the model name. The Yukon? E: yeah the Yukon.

reddig33,

It would make a great EV. So much room under the truck bed for batteries.
