They have the yellow ramp blocks to get it up the curb too! So embarrassing

Wouldn't that be the same for any show car? Like, you don't want to scuff up the new tires by unnecessarily taking the car over a curb.

Granted, they should have put them away for the show, but they clearly don't have much brain power to show.

You think they do that with a jeep, or some other actual off-road vehicle? Maybe they would, but I think the curb would take out that nazi car. That’s the difference.

For a showroom vehicle where you want everything on the vehicle to be as spotless and unblemished as possible, yeah, I would imagine some places would.

Sure, not everywhere is gonna do it, but I would guess that they had a time or two where a car slipped on the curb and scuffed up the tire. It's one more thing to potentially turn off a customer. Plus, they maybe can't sell the car until they replace the damaged tires (just my guess).

Scuffs and dirt are sources of pride for real off roaders. Sure the Detroit, Tokyo, London car shows they keep it spotless, and inside. For this, I suspect there's a jeep on a 45° ramp somewhere with the front wheel of the jeep about where the roof of the CT is.

"Real offroaders" wouldn't buy a brand new car from a showroom, and if they would, the car would be spotless because they used ramps. They won't celebrate scuffs and dirt that they didn't make themselves.

Yes, they do that to new jeeps or other actual offroad vehicles.

It might not take it out but at 6900lbs it’s probably really hard on the sidewalls.

Jeep JKs weight less than half of that.

I was behind a cyber truck the other day when it went over train tracks. I thought it was going to fall apart.

I mean, they haven't actually finished setting it up yet. That part makes sense.

I hear he fucked the Pontiff's couch after poisoning him.

IDK, they fired all the fact checkers and the blue checks don't mean anything anymore, so I guess it might be true?

Goddamnit, that's the worst laugh I've had today. By all qualitative and moralistic measuring, the worst

I hear he didn't need poison, just sucked his soul straight from his body like shang tsung.

Thanks for that ... now I'm going to waste my afternoon watching Zebra Corner

Blind date, and you're obligated to pick up your date with either a decked out El Camino, or a decked out Cybertruck.

Good choice, and it wasn't even close, huh?

My girl loves El Caminos and even says 'El Camino' in a funny voice every time we see one because of a zombie show we watched. I think she would replace my classic Ranger with one if I let her.

Hey don't be mean to the El Camino, it didn't deserve that :(

I wish we still made utes here in the states, sedan in the front, business in the back. Last one we got was the Chevy SSR I think? Ugly thing

Why anyone would buy this low poly monstrosity is beyond me. I bet this was the first time Elon designed something.

I subscribe to the theory that tech bros are deeply insecure about their masculinity because they have basically no genuine manliness in their lives, and the Cybertruck is something they're familiar with (gimmicky tech bullshit) that tricks them into thinking they are doing manly things (hauling building supplies in a pickup truck).

It seems to be some kind of instinct, wanting to be edgelord-y while growing up (asia knows that as chuunybyou). And while some never grow up mentally, some others never overcome the edgelord-y.

More likely that one of his kids drew it and told him it was a Tesla and so he made it real to support the idea that with money you can do anything.

If I remember correctly he did go out of his way to be cruel to one of his kids that is queer

An IncEl Camino will get stuck on snowy roads that a Ford Fiesta just flies over.

EDIT: I am sorry. I am being unfair. The IncEl Camino will get stuck on most road conditions that a Fiesta would fly over, not just snow.

I like it but I think I will use that for the Model S.

Look the cybertrunk is a dumb vehicle. But, isn't this how trucks and other off-road targeted vehicles are displayed?

And looks cooler off road, and oddly better for the environment it seems like.

I've done more off-roading in my IKCO sedan (Iranian car manufacturer)

I have done more offroading in a tricycle...
One with plastic wheels (and plastic tyres)

Ok, but this is actually just sensible marketing. Must not skuff a new product. That's just common sense.
