...damnit.
Ok, this makes a lot more sense now.
The Cybertruck I saw in Cincinnati towing an S had the same RC Engineering Prototype markings on it, I figured it was some 3rd party company making accessories or doing testing for Tesla.
Now that I saw another one and looked into it the 'RC' is actually standing for 'Release Candidate' Engineering Prototype. Because Tesla has to be cool and edgy and different with their preproduction test mules.
You can't give someone a pirate ship in one game, and then take it back in the next game. It's rude.
It would not due to Tesla apparently shipping 10. Not ten thousand or ten million but just 10, so the odds of the person being able to go truck themselves is extremely low.
Jesus. Fucking. Christ.
A Ford F-150 Raptor starts at $77k, gets as low as 360 miles to the tank and doesn't look like poop from a butt.

Yes but does it have unbreakable windows that will all but guarantee your death in an accident?
Let's be fair, the dude has had a week.
...let's continue to be fair, that week has been entirely self-inflicted.
The base model f-150 gets closer to 230, big battery is a premium trim package extra, last I checked
It's a less stylish, overgrown Subaru BRAT.
In 6 months time, he's going to tell the story that he told Iger to go fuck himself, and then The Marvels flopped at the box office so obviously he caused that.
Not sure how widespread it is, but there's some Twitter posts from blue checks saying they're cancelling Disney+ for daring to - not blackmail Musk? Musk said he doesn't want Disney's money? This whole thing is exhausting.
$100 says they weren't subscribed in the first place, or they aren't actually unsubscribing, just tweeting it.
The average price of a newly purchased car in 2023 is $48k, so for someone well off purchasing a new vehicle in the $70-100k range is pretty reasonable, especially if you are WfH and only need one vehicle. The differences in comfort, luxury, and safety between a base or stripped vehicle and one with things like blind spot monitoring, lane assist, adaptive cruise control, etc are pretty stark.
Now I don't know why someone would pay that much for this particular vehicle, but that price range is pretty in the realm of reasonable for a new vehicle for a lot of buyers.
Still, it's cheaper, doesn't look awful, and can function as a truck. The cybertruck is for people who wanted an SUV but decided to give up altogether on the sport and utility fiction.

That's one way to prevent unscripted moments, I guess.
Double or nothing they also tweeted about unsubscribing from it after the hardcore lesbian sex scene in Buzz Lightyear.
but enough about Elon, how's the truck?
$44 billion well spent.
Do not engage the Watermelons.
Also, in the days before when a blue check meant you weren’t just some asshole willing to pay Elon for some flair, those kinds of comments might have been worth paying attention to.
Not so much anymore.
Bro has not done well the past 12-13 months
That's what happens when your reality check bounces.
We're at clown mockery here, folks. I can't do anything that reality hasn't already done.
Do not engage the Watermelons.
We have reporting that your workers have started Gigafactory Fight Club, not to mention the sexual and racial harassment lawsuits.
I don't think that it's the unions bringing in negativity.
Ever notice how insanely well protected police officers are? Or how NBA players actually get a piece of the pie. (still insanely small considering what the owners pull but I digress.) That's not an accident.
Explains why the only exterior color we’ve seen is shiny and chrome
'We shouldn't test for COVID. Testing makes the numbers go up!'

"I disagree with the idea of unions … [because] I just don’t like anything which creates a lords and peasants sort of thing."
I agree. What's the timeline on Tesla becoming an employee-owned company?
Scum.
In a better world, this alone would be enough to get the driver convicted of first degree murder or attempted murder, after any accidents.
In a just world, this vehicle would not be allowed, the "engineers" who designed it would be liable for everything they own, and the universities that let them graduate would have their certification revoked.
Assuming they survive. The cybertruck isn't big enough to ignore impacts from cars, which means instead of deforming the truck the energy will go toward deforming the driver..
Cadaver synods are not just for popes.
I don’t really understand how such a car would be allowed on the roads if it’s going to “destroy” any vehicle (and presumably it’s occupants) it crashes with.*
I know America takes it freedoms seriously and has a portion of its population that don’t like being told something isn’t safe, but there’s no way it makes it’s way to the EU is there?
*presumably you’re safe from a Tesla truck if you’re up a slight hill
Well clearly if the vehicle is indestructible, it also confers that quality upon the contents!
wait, I'm getting a note passed to me that... oh. oh dear.
