    It has to be a sand race because the Cybertruck gets completely disabled from moisture.

    Nonsense design vanity project made for toddler CEO underperforms in comparison to actual pickup designed and built by manufacturer of the top selling pickup… who would have guessed.

      I bet Musk thought he was a genius that could revolutionize trucks, just like Apple revolutionized smartphones.
      I admit I still think the model S was pretty cool originally, but now there are better offers IMO, BMW and Audi have some very nice upper middle class cars, that I doubt very much Tesla can match the quality of. If money is not a problem, I’d go with a Mercedes. For a cheaper practical everyday car, I’d go with VW or Hyundai.

      But goddam I just tried my neighbors BMW I4- eDrive 40, that’s an amazing car with great range IMO. I’ve never been in a car that was that silent smooth and comfortable, and yet had stellar grip and handling. Even when you fired it up with everything it has, it was still quiet, you just felt the pressure of acceleration in the back. 😋

        Well that BMW i4 is almost as smooth as this Marlboro cigarette that I’m enjoying right now.

        I tell you, nothing helps relax you more than unwinding with a Marlboro cigarette. The rich full flavour and slow toasted leaves with the extra fine filter ensures I get the best experience. Every time.

        Marlboro. It’s what Lemmy users prefer™

    I mean I’m more of a car guy so trucks and off roading aren’t my specialty but a vehicle built by a company that’s done it for a century vs a pissboy.

    Shocker…

    I hate the Cybertruck as much as the next guy, but this could really boil down to just tire choice and nothing more.

      Of course it has all wheel drive, the RWD version isn’t in production for quite some time.

        You are right thanks for the correction. I misinterpreted this line

        However, I’ve got to think here the big differentiator here was the Lightning’s all-wheel-drive system, which is almost certainly better at tacking loose surfaces than the Cybertruck’s.

    So the Cybertruck is not that fast and the CEO of the company that makes it is a jamoke, big deal. At least it looks stupid.
