Drive mode selection on the ceiling of the vehicle. That’s definitely a choice.

A terrible one… it won’t take long for there to be a few articles relating people crashing into the person behind them accidentally and stuff

This is just failsafe so you can still drive if the screen is unavailable. Drive mode selection is automatic and you can also select it on the screen. For the record, I also think it’s dumb to put it there, but let’s get the facts straight.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 year ago
yeah most cars I’ve driven have that knob/button right next to the screen. Not sure why this is a “failsafe”.
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 year ago
True. Just saying it’s weird. Although just about every part of this thing is weird.
TheRealCharlesEames@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I like it, feels like my Elite Dangerous spaceship or something. Also, it’s just in case of emergency on a Tesla.

That big wiper is horrendous
krimson@feddit.nl 1 year ago
The whole thing is horrendous.
A Fiat Multipla looks better than this abomination.
Bourff@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Ouch, that’s brutal and should not be said lightly. But you have a point.
PrinceWith999Enemies@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Oof.
The Multipla had a certain jolie laide. This just looks like what a not-gifted sixth grader draws in his notebook between the Cool S and the swords.

The video was great and I like Marques’ EV videos in general.
But this truck seems awful. So many strange choices. From the weird gear selection to the ‘beast’ mode option and everything in between. Looks are also pretty subjective but I think this thing is super ugly.
Now the prices being way off from what was originally promised? Oof this is a miss for me.

what the fuck is going on in the comments of that video? The "$AMA59X" bots are doing some of the shoddiest astroturfing I've seen in years
GooseFinger@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Looks like these comments are to drum up hype for a crypto scam. Whoever made the coin is leeching off Amazon’s brand recognition to dupe people to buy some. Scams like this are pretty common since the crypto boom unfortunately.

That thing is ugly as sin

Imagine if all the money that went into reinventing the electric truck for no reason went into making mass transit options better. What a colossal waste.

This thing looks exactly like every single car I drew when I was in elementary school.
sagrotan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wow. You drove a car while you were … ohh, I see what you did there. Still a shitty car you’ve drawn in elementary. Like I did too. Maybe a little less shitty, we were land folks, I just drew tractors LOL

The sun visors have a gap on top when you pull them down, so you’ll get the sun in your eyes anyway.

Musk is a weirdo, but I like the dystopian stupid truck and it looks cool. I’ll see myself out though.

Do you need a truck? Why or whynot?
Are you going to buy one? Why or why not?
MyDogLovesMe@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This whole thing reminds me of The Simpsons episode where Homer designs a car.
It feels like the big dipshit had a personal hand in the design decisions. Tesla: “Right behind you, X!”
I’d rather drive a fucking Gremlin.
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The Cybertruck is absolutely The Homer.
kokesh@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You can see that he was in the helm ask along It is stupid from beginning to end, as its creator. I’m pretty sure his touches on previous Teslas were for example driving on Mars, biohazard filters, etc. All the important stuff.
