I’m pretty sure that’s a RWD CyberTruck, which would explain a lot. That said, I fucking hate this car and Elon can suck it.

Edit:

Maybe it is AWD. Seems like the power is applied with more to rear than front.

Front wheels are spinning

They come in 3 motor versions, 2 in the back, 1 in the front, so you might right about the uneven power distribution.

2 in the back, one in the front

On an electric vehicle, I think we call that the shocker.

Most all wheel drive systems work like this I think. Audi Quattro for instance is 60/40 if I’m not mistaken.

If you watch the video you’ll see both the front and rear wheels are spinning.

This guy needs snow tires. You should also put snow tires for this condition even if it’s AWD, right ? Maybe even chains for an off-road slope?

Yes, if you’re going off-road like that. Apparently these “trucks” also don’t have assist points to pull them from. Notice the straps are hooked to the front suspension or something.

They must have time down points otherwise you couldn’t tow them - and I believe they need to be towed for pretty much any repairs.

You have to be a colossal idiot to buy this car. You have to be an even bigger idiot to buy it from a scalper

Sounds like the average Church of Elon Member to me (I’m pro EVs, but Elon/Tesla-Cultists are insufferable)

Who is scalping the worst truck ever made? Even the people who put a down payment down don’t want one.

Unfortunately there are enough lunatics who would buy this either as a joke, or because they see Musk as some prophet

after submitting a $122,135 order

The buyer told us that he paid a $250 order fee on Friday and previously paid a $100 reservation fee.

Tesla doesn’t have to refund those types of fees if a buyer cancels

You have to pay $350 to get the privilege to fork over a hundred and twenty grand? My jaw literally dropped.

Car culture is weird

This feels a little more, I don’t know, direct than car culture mentality. Buying a Telsa, at least in past few years, feels like direct support to one person. I don’t see people with expensive sportscars and assume they think the CEO of the manufacturer is a hero. Telsa buyers probably don’t feel that way, but stuff like this leads me to believe they do.

Honestly Tesla culture reminds me of any brand of car fanboyism. The ones I got most familiar with was the supposed “hot rodders” that viewed a junked out piece of rust that’s sat in a field 20 years worth thousands of dollars to spend thousands of dollars to not drive it. Got sick of it as someone who’s first car was a 70s one and attempting to find parts and pieces was people telling a high schooler to just take it to a shop and spend more than I’ve spent on my current modern car+motorcycle because none of them actually bothered working on their shit before.

Now I said that, there’s also the motorcycle culture, and we’re weird as fuck.

You forget we live in a society where we have bought tickets and raffles for the chance of being able to buy Air Jordans or Yeezys or w/e fuck shoe that did that.

Actually, I missed that. And I’d rather go back to unknowing it. Shoe shopping is a chore, not a prize.

I’ve been wearing the same two pairs of shoes for about 4 years now. I thought one pair was failing earlier in the year, but the glue repair held and I’ve continued to wear them.
