i watched a video of one trying to get out of a river and idfk why anyone would ever think it could actually do that
like it takes a serious ignorance of basic physics to see how long it is and how low it is to the ground and think it's going to have any sort of clearance over literally any obstacle or incline
Iirc Elon said they would be amphibious and you could literally drive them across small rivers
I wonder if it’s possible to lift a cyber truck. Putting one into a squat would be so cursed.
omg omg omg 😂 I just saw a regular pickup truck with crazy camber and a squat thing going on yesterday, that would be sooooo fucking funny on cybertruck
now I desperately want to see one with itty bitty tiny tires, super close to the ground, like that fad in the early 00s
scraping the ground every time they drive on a brick street or hit a pothole 😂
please baby jesus, if we can't have communism, at least give us a cybertruck lowering & stancing fad
There’s a local truck that’s infamous for being
A) massive
And
B) in a Carolina squat (super low in the back and lifted up front)
Shit should be illegal but I’d make an exception for cybertrucks because it would look so damn funny. The bed is already trash so imagine if it was tilted and shit just constantly fell out lol.
Also, the formative fast and furious years have me upset at this low riding slander jk.
what is even the point of the Carolina squat?!?! I've only seen it once in person, and it looked so fucking dangerous to everyone, truck occupants included
It originated in socal for desert racing with all the elevation changes. It actually has a purpose if you plan on speeding over a dune and don’t want to nose dive.
Southern truck culture just adopted it as a chud aesthetic without even considering the practical aspects.
Edit: and you are completely correct it’s dangerous af on the road. Technically illegal most places but pigs don’t enforce it.
I've always assumed the pigs don't enforce driving laws for shithead trucks because those are their coworkers and friends
Also jealousy sometimes, I see the local squat pulled over chatting it up with em every once in a while
And much like with the excessive camber that a lot of people think is cool on cars (where the wheels flare out sideways), pre-loading a desert truck is usually pretty subtle, only a few inches up and down. Noticeable but functional
Lots of street trends like the Carolina Squat and Stancing take these concepts and jack them up past 11 into pure ridiculous territory
Honestly, I’d welcome anyone who purged those that engage in it. No questions asked. It’s the final form of American car culture and must be repressed.

Critical support to all who squat their cybertrucks and their accelerator pedals get stuck and plunge them to their doom in ponds.
I like the one of the dude camping- or trying to. If you take one of these to a campground, you are going to get everyone's attention. So the guy spends over an hour trying to set up the $3000 cyber tent, and just can't get it done. Says fuck it, packs up and goes home. Never about going camping, only about the attention. You got it, bud. The whole campground laughing at you
The proportions are so weird, especially this rear-quarter angle. Looks like someone wearing jorts.
Hilarious. I can easily fit 2 bikes in my hatchback and still close the back hatch
i probably could too (i want a bike)
i keep mine in "haul shit" mode all the time with the backseats down and rubber mats on the improvised truck bed. i have way more space then this so called "truck"
Is there anything at all that is innovative about this metal brick?
I guess the way it looks is pretty unique, but not in a good way
How did they figure out a way to make a car that disappoints you even more every time even though you already had low expectations, like what's next? the sensors go apeshit when they see gum on the street?
