A Tesla owner’s dream of taking his new Cybetruck for a spin turned into a nightmare. He landed in the emergency room with blood spurting from a wrist wound before even getting behind the wheel.
The Tesla cybertruck is supposed to bond with you. The guy should have read the details. Now he’s going to be wondering about the central rounded spike on the seat which provides anal coupling and the neural interface needles on the headrest.
The owner, known only as “Bdesign”
Oh jeez, I thought you were making a reference to something. Yikes.
To be fair, it sounds like that’s his username on the Tesla forum, TachyonTele.
Double yikes: reporting on forum comments.
So manly he can’t have his identity published for fear the world will never stop ridiculing him
The Cybertruck deemed him unworthy. Only the most based may ride the greatest vehicle in all of human history, if not the history of the universe.
In reality the truck is possessed by a demon that wanted a blood offering.
Why not both?
So it’s a server rack in truck form? Now it makes a lot of sense.
I’ve read a short story with similar theme from mostly unknown local author. It was called something like “vampire car” and the car did not use fuel, but blood from the driver’s foot instead. Due to this it was unbelievably fast, but deadly.
Stephen King also wrote “Christine” about a killer car.
I’ve heard of it, but did not read it (yet). The story I wrote about was from early 60s, which made it quite unique IMO.
Christine is a good read. Not to take away from your referenced story, but especially if you like king, Christine slaps
I really like what I’ve read from him, although it wasn’t that much. Book of some short horror stories and The Stand, which was really amazing (to the point I watched that mediocre TV series with Gary Sinise, which was quite let down after the book). I’ve also recently got Under the Dome, so that’ll be my next read I think.
I really like Under the Dome to the point of not minding the TV adaptations.
If you like the Stand, you’ll probably like most King (although thats probably one of his best.) The biggest criticism is that he’s long winded - which can definitely be true, but I think most of his fans appreciate that. (I’m reading one of his covid books, Fairy Tale. Its been good but I’m over 1/4 through and “the thing” is only just now maybe beginning to happen lmao.
Finding new and exciting ways to make cars more dangerous. What an inovator.
Really missing an opportunity to collab with the slap chop guy.
The Tesla inspectors who were there and even described that the vehicle “can be dangerous” panicked but helped.
No. This should never have been approved for sale. A consumer vehicle cannot be touted as “dangerous” by the customer representatives except as in ways accepted by all passenger vehicles. This isn’t a work vehicle with special licensing or training needed. This thing is so dangerous, shoddy and badly built it should never have received certification to be sold as a new car.
They were joking until the blood started to really pour.
Seriously the cybertruck stories have really made me question how much regulation there really is regarding car safety.
How are we, the public, watching this soup sandwich play out in realtime and there’s nothing actionable there for regulators?
One more aspect of my faith in our governmental systems starting to take a beating on this one.
Listen, I love to hate on the cybertruck, but this article is just repeating a claim made in a forum post. There appears to have been no attempt made to verify the facts of the matter. I’d take this with a big grain of salt.
That’s all people need to participate in the outrage culture tho
People are outraged? Unjustified, no matter what or why.
This isn’t outrage, it’s schadenfreude, and it’s well earned. It just doesn’t excuse not vetting your sources. When a story justifies your existing ideas about the world is when you need to be most skeptical.
Damn, if the car’s body is full with sharp edges, what would happen if it hit a pedestrian? Instant decapitation?
To be fair, any modern truck built for the US market will kill you on the spot, usually by squishing you like a bug against the grill. A Cybertruck is low enough that it will probably just chop off your legs, so you probably still die, but you can have a half open casket! 🎉
Probably, we shouldn’t have to wait long to find out just need the “full” self driving to malfunction.
Full self decapitation*
The corners on the front of it look like they can easily cut out your kidneys on an impact
A few hours later, believing the bleeding to have subsided sufficiently, Bdesign unwrapped the bandage. This decision proved to be a miscalculation. “I unwrapped my wrist and BOOM - spurts of blood all over the kitchen island…,” he wrote, “which leaves me here, at the ER.”
lmfao, he really was looking for any excuse to not blame the car, huh?
Cyber truck: it just kills you ™
A blood sacrifice to the Musk.
License plate:
EDGLRD
WNKMSTR was already taken
I’m sure he’ll justify it to himself immediately. He’s already sunk so much cost.
From the article, it kind of sounds like he regrets his choice already. And not just because he injured himself on it!
People who purchase anything from Tesla are just embarrassing lol. I cringe seeing the brand in public 🤣
I don’t cringe every time I see them in public just because they were already becoming common here before Musk outed himself as being the twat that he is, but anytime I see a new Tesla, I definitely have no respect for whoever may be driving it.
