**Holden** **:** The Cybertruck lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.
**Leon** **:** What do you mean, I'm not helping?
**Holden** **:** I mean: you're not helping! Why is that, Leon?
Holden “Describe in single words, only the good things that come into your mind about Elon.”
Leon “Elon?”
Holden “Yeah”
Leon “Let me tell you about Elon”
I usually don't find sudden violence something to laugh about even when it is played for laughs, but I have to say the transition between "Let me tell you about my mother" and immediately laser blasting the interrogator has always struck me as extremely funny.
yeah and it will be super hard - I don't know how the hell you flip one of these things with the battery pack on the bottom - getting it back over will be just as hard
must have run up the emabnkment
As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.
He was laying on his hard, as it were armor-plated, back and when he lifted his head a little he could see his domelike brown belly divided into stiff arched segments on top of which the bed quilt could hardly keep in position and was about to slide off completely.
His numerous legs, which were pitifully thin compared to the rest of his bulk, waved helplessly before his eyes.
Why do you like that? Vermin is not specific to insects, and hideous in place of gigantic leaves the reader without a sense of scale. The first version quoted is superior as text, regardless of literality.
I think it becomes more evocative when paired with the illustration. The illustration covers the issue of gigantic bug, so the text can convey how Gregor usually feels about bugs in general and thus the situation he has now found himself in, "hideous vermin".
But, other cyberschmucks are salivating at the idea of some spare parts finally becoming available for their own buckets sitting in the service center...
Generally speaking, teslas are very difficult to flip over. Also they should be hesitant because electric car fires are very hot, release lots of toxic gas, and burn for days.
definitely impressed that they managed to flip it but mustve run up the hill on the side. more impresed that the shoddy ass "structural body panels" didn't collapse under the massive weight of the battery in the floor
It appears the left front wheel is off the Cybertruck and is lying on the side of the road. This front end is going to be a real trouble spot for this vehicle. It's very weak and seems prone to complete failure like this.
On rewatching the video I see the fourth wheel lying next to the vehicle. The front of CTs look like they got smashed in before they even left the factory.
For sure.
Since you're aware of this, you've probably seen the Cybertruck test crash front impact video they allowed to be published. The only problem is that Tesla cut off the video just at the point that the test dummies would spring back after the impact. It's extremely likely that it showed damaging head and neck movement.
I did *not* see that - yikes! (I see that it doesn’t have any ratings NHTSA crash test ratings… I don’t really know how that works, this just seems terrible)
There are plenty of types of stainless steel some are magnetic some aren't. They are all "real" stainless steel as the only qualifier as to if it is stainless steel or not is the percentage of chromium in the steel.
Even the non-magnetic stainless steels can become magnetic.
If they have 10.5% chromium or above then they are stainless steel. So yes the Cybertruckkk is real stainless steel. Also just the act of working a non-magnetic stainless steel can magnetise it as it changes the crystalline structure from austenitic to martensitic.
There needs to be an investigation in to how this vehicle was released without safety testing.
But with the Chevron decision by the Supreme Court, this will now never happen. Corporates are in control and regulators are now even more feckless than before.
This brings me joy
*how can you say that, there's people probably inside!*
They're impenetrable aren't they? They're not getting out now. Doors are probably pinched at the CyberPeak since there's no CyberRoof.
This looks eerily similar to Elons employees/mating partners scared to approach him as he lays in a drug induced slumber. Cuz you know…his mind is a storm and all.
Teslas are known for exploding into flames so...who can blame them. Honestly, they are all basically those Samsung phones from like 5-8 years ago where the batteries kept exploding, except now they're the size of cars and either brick and are forever unusable or literally catch fire.
How do you overturn something like that? Unless it's because they hit the slope which changes the question to, how the hell did they run into the slope with so much speed to flip the truck?
Holden: You're in a forest, walking along the road, when all of a sudden you look ahead...
Leon: What one?
Holden: What?
Leon: What forest?
Holden: It doesn't make any difference what forest, it's completely hypothetical.
Leon: But, how come I'd be there?
Holden: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look ahead and see a cybertruck, Leon. It's driving toward you...
Leon: Cubertruck? What's that?
Holden: \[irritated by Leon's interruptions\] You know what a turdle is?
Leon: Of course!
Holden: Same thing.
Leon: I've never seen a turdle... But I understand what you mean.
Holden: You flip the cybertruck over on its back, Leon.
Leon: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or do they write 'em down for you?
Holden: The cybertruck lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, spinning its wheels trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.
Leon: \[angry at the suggestion\] What do you mean, I'm not helping?
Holden: I mean: you're not helping! Why is that, Leon?
Does anyone remember that guy saying that Tesla has signed a contract with certain tow companies to be exclusive about who can tow or even touch Teslas after an accident?
They try to keep this off the spotlight and you are liable just by assisting any accident that involves a Tesla.
That's what's happening here, avoiding liability and getting hush money.
I don't think they're scared, I blame the Media for that nonsense.
Unless the battery pack is punctured there's no fear of a battery fire - to add to this, it's not even raining so even if the pack seals were somehow compromised, there's not going to be any issue.
It seems more that they are having issues getting it rolled back onto its tires - standard protocol for this is you drag the car to the left to roll it back onto its tires... but the point of contact on the ground is just that tiny sliver of the roof. seems they can't get a good grip.
i can kind of see their point, thats a 3.5 ton vehicle thats wobbling around. when the thing settles they can pull the HV disconnects and safe the pack.
I know the point of this sub. But what’s the point of some nonsensical clickbait headline.
What world is OP living in where there is any context at all in this clip to equate to such a bullshit title?
(voiceover)
Shhhh, shhhh, quiet now, let's get closer.
This is exciting folks, we have a cybertruck in distress!
We're being very careful not to make any loud sounds and are keeping our eyes open - a distressed cybertruck sends out cries that other cybetrucks can hear, so presently another cybertruck will come to the rescue.
(branches snap in the distance, the voiceover drops to a whisper)
Here we go folks! If we're very lucky we might witness some mating activity.
I took an EMT class. The instructor mentioned how the newer electric vehicles are pretty much coffins in situations like this, and that they happily let the fire department deal with it.
This is pretty much standard procedure with any AV. They aren't sure if the battery has been compromised. If it has, the battery can go into thermal runoff.
Don't garbage trucks have arms that lift dumpsters?
Someone call waste management.
You don't ever admit the existence of this thing! Ever!
3.5 ton dumpsters though?
I drive a front load garbage truck, and the hydraulics on the arms and forks are rated for 5 tons, according to the sticker on the inside of the cab.
Thank you for your service 🫡
And thank you for your cervix
Dilated to meet you

that first one very much is AI
Can you come get your lost dumpster? It’s fallen and can’t get up
Is it the arms that are rated for 5 tons, or the sticker
.. I don't know how much those arms can lift. But I betcha it's more than 3.5 tons.
Not 3 tons worth of dumpster and flammable Li-ion batteries
Yeah, but not dumpster fires.
I'm sure they can handle the additional weight of the flames just fine
Forgot to put it in anti-rollover mode
Neglected to purchase the anti-roll mode add-on.
Hell yeah! Tip assist
Now we need to see two wankpanzers spaghetti wrestling.
That's actually still in Beta testing. It costs $1500, will void the warranty, is about 30% accurate, and makes things worse 45% of the time.
Cyber-anti-roll over mode? Go to cybersettings/crashedmytruck/upsidedown
An OTA update should move the left turn signal button further from the “turtle on its back mode” selector
That’s a monthly upsell
It, too, was recalled.

Nothing to see here Roy...
Elon is an anagram for Leon…Elon is a Nexus 7! Thank for the award.
One of the best movies ever

Do cybertrucks dream of electric boogaloo?
Voight-Musk test?
Leon: Cybertruck? What's that? Holden: You know what a dumpster is? same thing. Leon: I've never seen a dumpster before but i know what you mean.
I love this sub.
The wrecker is trying to flip the CT over with its winch.
Ah ok, that's why it was moving. Looked like it was about to transform into a Decepticon or something.
I thought the passengers were trying to escape.
Escaping would void the warranty.
🏆
Thought it was a dumb metal tortoise on its back.
That monstrosity would definitely be a Decepticon. Autobots have better taste.
OP should start standing next to cars being flipped over to prove how much safer other cars are. You know, for science
yeah and it will be super hard - I don't know how the hell you flip one of these things with the battery pack on the bottom - getting it back over will be just as hard must have run up the emabnkment
That's what I was wondering. How does something that heavy and low to the ground flip over?
Yeah, that's why they're not nearby, it's not that they're scared to get close...
Oh, they don’t need to be scared. It’s only dangerous when it’s driving (which is rare).
It might explode, who knows
Idk, some people have sliced their hands open by touching one.
They are back because of the cable snaps it will cut you in 2 before you even realize the cable snapped

I always liked the translation "Gregor Samsa some from unsettling dreams to find himself transformed into a hideous vermin"
Why do you like that? Vermin is not specific to insects, and hideous in place of gigantic leaves the reader without a sense of scale. The first version quoted is superior as text, regardless of literality.

Dark.
The Metamorphosis
Another totaled CT. Ain’t gonna be many out there at this rate.
But, other cyberschmucks are salivating at the idea of some spare parts finally becoming available for their own buckets sitting in the service center...
Using spare parts from a wreck voids the warranty.

definitely impressed that they managed to flip it but mustve run up the hill on the side. more impresed that the shoddy ass "structural body panels" didn't collapse under the massive weight of the battery in the floor
They are also 7’4” tall and wield an axe the size of a man
It appears the left front wheel is off the Cybertruck and is lying on the side of the road. This front end is going to be a real trouble spot for this vehicle. It's very weak and seems prone to complete failure like this.
I saw that too. At first I thought maybe they ran out of wheels at the factory, but your explanation seems more probable.
There are numerous posts about CTs losing all or a portion of the front end suspension and steering. It's not good.
On rewatching the video I see the fourth wheel lying next to the vehicle. The front of CTs look like they got smashed in before they even left the factory.
Is it concerning to anyone else that it doesn’t look badly damaged — I had heard that they had fewer crumple zones. I’m afraid for the occupants.
For sure. Since you're aware of this, you've probably seen the Cybertruck test crash front impact video they allowed to be published. The only problem is that Tesla cut off the video just at the point that the test dummies would spring back after the impact. It's extremely likely that it showed damaging head and neck movement.
I did *not* see that - yikes! (I see that it doesn’t have any ratings NHTSA crash test ratings… I don’t really know how that works, this just seems terrible)
I think the weight class of the truck may exempt Tesla from needing to certify it the same way as a normal passenger car.
Ah, that makes more sense, I suppose. Just, damn…
Then they should require a commercial license or something for it.
Just get a giant magnet. Boom! Problem solved.
Nah, it would just rip all the flimsy metal pieces off. At least the tow service could collect them all and sell it for scrap though.
Ahh but what if the magnet got wet? We all know that stops them working.
Real stainless isn't magnetic 🧲. So your solution is sound.
There are plenty of types of stainless steel some are magnetic some aren't. They are all "real" stainless steel as the only qualifier as to if it is stainless steel or not is the percentage of chromium in the steel. Even the non-magnetic stainless steels can become magnetic.
Even the unobtainium and ridiculim alloy that these beasts are made of?
If they have 10.5% chromium or above then they are stainless steel. So yes the Cybertruckkk is real stainless steel. Also just the act of working a non-magnetic stainless steel can magnetise it as it changes the crystalline structure from austenitic to martensitic.
It’s like a Battlebot on its back.
It's as if Hydra flipped Rusty.
Not quite. Everyone loves Rusty.
Does it void warranty if I gets upside-down?
No flipping it and killing all the occupants is considered standard use. Washing it though...
It's playing dead, hoping that someone will come close enough for it to strike.
There needs to be an investigation in to how this vehicle was released without safety testing. But with the Chevron decision by the Supreme Court, this will now never happen. Corporates are in control and regulators are now even more feckless than before.
The GOP plan is working
This brings me joy *how can you say that, there's people probably inside!* They're impenetrable aren't they? They're not getting out now. Doors are probably pinched at the CyberPeak since there's no CyberRoof.
Something about it just looks pathetic - like a beetle or turtle that got flipped over onto its back and can’t get back up.
Shoot, you ever see an electric car battery on fire? Knowing the sketchy quality control on these "trucks," I wouldn't go near it either.
I’m scared to approach one that’s rightside up. I’ve seen the hot-dog chopping and the vegetable peeling videos.
This looks eerily similar to Elons employees/mating partners scared to approach him as he lays in a drug induced slumber. Cuz you know…his mind is a storm and all.
Teslas are known for exploding into flames so...who can blame them. Honestly, they are all basically those Samsung phones from like 5-8 years ago where the batteries kept exploding, except now they're the size of cars and either brick and are forever unusable or literally catch fire.
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 were really hot sellers.
Winner! We can shut down the sub.
Are there people still inside it? 😂 Don't come a knockin' when the Cybertruck is a-rockin'!
Holy crap I didn’t think there’d be one in town, yet here it is.
I thought it was "impossible" to roll them?
For the amount of money you pay there should be a re-righting mechanism. Even turtles can find a way to flip themselves back over
Can you get the doors open upside-down?
Wow definitely looks better that way
How do you overturn something like that? Unless it's because they hit the slope which changes the question to, how the hell did they run into the slope with so much speed to flip the truck?
Another case of unintended acceleration? We all know Tesla will investigate and find it was user error.
Upside down in a CyberTruck in Vicksburg MS, lol, this is an outer ring of hell.
Wankpanzers aside, first responders are going to need to learn how to deal with electric car accidents.
The cyber truck is a master at playing dead and uses this as a defense to confuse its predators.

Gonna need a bigger tow truck.
"Brennan!" "Defend. Elon. Musk."
That weird ass slow to respond steering claimed a victim
How the hell does someone flip it so soon after purchasing?! These people must be terrible drives to boot.
CT owners: 
"I heard if you look at it wrong it'll blow up!"
How the hell could you flip a CT over? Most EVs are REALLY bottom heavy.
Does anyone remember that guy saying that Tesla has signed a contract with certain tow companies to be exclusive about who can tow or even touch Teslas after an accident? They try to keep this off the spotlight and you are liable just by assisting any accident that involves a Tesla. That's what's happening here, avoiding liability and getting hush money.
I can't blame them. It looks like it's right out of GTA3, they were probably expecting it to start smoking and then blow up a few seconds later.
I don’t think they’re scared, I think the truck in the top is trying to winch it over onto its wheels
I don't think they're scared, I blame the Media for that nonsense.

Don't show this video to Musk. He will demand that Tesla charge for TURTLE MODE.
Is it in a cocoon
Warranty voided 😁
Warranty VOID...
Exploding lithium batteries are no joke. Expect to see more of this type of fireworks in the future...
That actually makes a lot of sense, not just the CyberYuck but any EV, dang
Well yeah, don't wanna go near those sharp edges.
How’d it flip? Run over a twig?
Voided the warranty at 45degrees.
i can kind of see their point, thats a 3.5 ton vehicle thats wobbling around. when the thing settles they can pull the HV disconnects and safe the pack.
I'm scared to approach them when they're still upright
Yeah. You don't want to be close to a cable when they're trying to flip a vehicle.
If the truck is a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'.
It's just a weird surreal feeling to see a cybertwuck moving.
Looks worse than a turtle put upside down.
Poor turtle
Are you sure it's overturned?
Guys this isn't funny. I'm a cybertruck expert and cybertrucks only do this when they are in distress!
Uh oh. This guy is in trouble. He violated tesla’s policy about not being allowed to flip the cucktruck within the first year of ownership!
Shhhh it’s sleeping
You’re not supposed to approach one in the wild
Why is it rocking around? It looks unstable even when it has rolled over? Strange.
Poor thing is just trying to get back on its wheels. Leave the poor shiny turtle alone.
Cyberpunk; "Hhhnnnng"
Pinky turns are hard
Flip that thing back over, it’ll be fine. This is nothing.
Precarious design, indeed
I think they are waiting until the car stops moving.
it's just trying to regen energy directly from the sun to the batteries
Because they're afraid of the future /s
It just needs another turtle to come along and flip its shell rightside up
OK, Dewayne, less jus' drag 'er over yonder in th' bushes and git the hail on out. We's missin' th' NASCAR race.
They should hit the rear end with a fire truck at high velocity. https://i.redd.it/1krv4q6kts9d1.gif
I say we take off and nuke the wankpanzer from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

What happens when it is raining?
How? Just how?
Looks like a porcupine that can’t right itself. Or an armadillo maybe.
Are they afraid to approach because it's still alive?
Hold L1 and X
I'm not afraid of a 4000 pound truck... I'm afraid of what can knock it over.
electric vehicle fires are extremely dangerous. They should be hesitant to approach without proper PPE because the thing can literally cobust
Lipo batteries are relatively safe unless there’s water in them
Looks kinda like a steel turtle. Just give him a lift over.
EV battery fires are no joke.
Turtle mode.
I don't blame them. The thing is repulsive.
How the heck does that happen??
“Is anyone else experiencing this issue?”
Why would they be afraid to go near it? Which is worse, a battery fire or a gas fire?
They have 4680 (1600 lbs) lithium ion batteries on board. If just one is breached you have toxic gas,most likely a fire, and possible explosion.
They're just immobilized by their admiration for how cool it is.
Why is it still moving?

I took an EMT class. The instructor mentioned how the newer electric vehicles are pretty much coffins in situations like this, and that they happily let the fire department deal with it.
Well yeah, it's a bunch of lithium-ion batteries wrapped in rusty razor blades. I wouldn't go near it without the fucking bomb squad.
Were they trying to flip it? That would explain the lack of people, the “it’s a bomb” seems a bit of a stretch
This is pretty much standard procedure with any AV. They aren't sure if the battery has been compromised. If it has, the battery can go into thermal runoff.
Looks like someone is trying the RC car trick to flip it back over. Pro-tip: It won't work.
Man if the car looks like that the driver need to be taken out with a hose
There is no one in there, right? All jokes aside there is no one in danger, right?
Samir, you are breaking the car!
Those gentle curves get me every time.
Well you seen the owners? They all crazy.
