I love this. Just like what happened with the gold skins in MechWarrior Online.
The "truck" has a terrible design, and often is incapable of completing basic tasks a truck is expected to do without great difficulty or some weird quirk.
Youtuber be like:

but it's a great truck, i love it.
Is the Cybertruck even a truck? I don't see the "truck" part.
I know very little about cars, and even less about trucks. When I think of a truck, I think of a bed in the back where you can haul stuff from Home Depot.
Where is the "truck" part?
Trucks with covers are a thing, it’s called a tonneau. What’s not normal is for them to be permanent.
That's not entirely true. The high end of aftermarket covers are electric, require the semi permanent installation of rails, wires, and the box, and are fairly cumbersome to remove. They're not permanent in that they can be removed, but practically no one does this. Rivian's truck has one built in as well. Most legacy manufacturers leave this to dealers to do as it's an easy high profit accessory for them to upsell.
Yeah, that’s I mean though, it’s optional and not a fundamental design of the truck.
Someone on my discord posted the warranty terms and apparently it doesn't cover unusual damage or useage such as exposrure to rain, sunlight or being used off a paved road. So no its not a truck, in fact it doesn't even stand up as a car.
It has a bed with a cover on, raccoons think it's a dumpster and try and open it.

Generally if you get a truck and do truck things with it, there's 2 specific things a truck will have that no other class has:
But hilariously your average crossover is fully capable of hauling an inexpensive trailer and a couple thousand pounds of whatever if not more than that, which covers 99.9% of the lifestyle arguments most pavement princes truck owners make for why they need a truck
Yeah, for sure trucks do not own pulling trailers, and they are fairly bad for cargo also. Truck fans will hate it, but a minivan can take care of both of those probably just as well, if not potentially better. The one use case is oversized cargo, which is almost never hauled by anyone. In the off chance you need that you can rent a truck or uhaul.
My first live sighting of one of them I realized how god-awful ugly they really are. Even in some bronze/pewter terrible color. Or maybe it got left in the rain and that's just corrosion.
I forgot about that! Good times. They got team killed/crippled pretty often too.
Yes, it was funny when the entire game would stop just to focus on killing the gold skin user. Didn't matter what team they were on, they became the collective target of everyone in the match. Good times, indeed.
So is this what they call "cyber bullying"?
The only kind I support.
But that's like the entire game anyway... You mean to tell me you play a last man standing shooter and let people live?
Quoted in the article:
“i propose a new fortnite rule: if you see someone in a cybertruck, you are now in a truce with everyone else in the lobby until they’re taken out. this repeats as many times as necessary until everyone that bought this stupid thing is gone. normal gameplay proceeds.“
Based kids
If only they could muster that sort of unity against all mxt and fomo.
Thats absolutely the kind of rule that gets crowd sourced and becomes real, real fast.
Rocket league has/had like a half dozen rules nearly everyone knows.
almost makes me want to play Fortnite just to join, but that feels like added engagement because of Tesla so I won't
That is astronomically fucking funny
I'm so confused about what fortnite even is now. It used to be a game where you fought zombies, now I have no idea
It’s a game where you summon towers out of your ass and then get sniped by a 12 year old who fucked your mom
So it's CoD but with building mechanics
Yes
I played that back when it was called Team Fortress.
Edit: I didn't mean that to be dismissive of Fortnite or ignore the vast differences, just commenting on that particular description which perfectly matches playing an engineer in TF2 and I think TF, but that was a long time ago.
My wife's been playing a bunch of it and honestly best I can tell it's an Unreal Engine tech demo combined with a easy-to-use game engine for beginners to make mini games in (similar to Roblox's various games) with integrated hosting, release, discovery, authentication and payment processing.
Which is kinda confusing given Epic also has Core which is also an Unreal Engine tech demo combined with easy-to-use game engine with integrated hosting, release, discovery, authentication and payment processing
Oh and Fortnite has its official Battle Royale mode that's largely a copy of PUBG
I guess if it's a situation where multiple enemies are in sight everyone would focus on the cybertruck so you'd be even more targeted than normal (I have no idea how to play Fortnite).
That's exactly what will happen (that ugly nazi car is not yet available ingame).
I guess everyone will work in solidarity to kill the player who picked the cybertruck character, then once that's done the remaining humanoids will just play like normal
Driving a Cybertruck in the game would be like being a child molestor in the penitentiary. Other inmates may have beef with one another and be ready to shank a mfer if they get froggy; but if a child molester joins the cell block, they team up on him first.
No idea how Fortnite works. But can you (realistically) use the Cybertruck to cut off your enemies fingers with it's automatic doors.
Dunno. But it seems like its bulletproofing has been accurately translated into the game.
So it's not very bulletproof at all?
bingo
I wish I could do this in real life. I've seen two in my city and they're visually arresting.
Just spray them with a hose
That honestly is a very interesting subject for a beginners exam to criminal law
unless they're parked right next to your roses, I imagine it would be pretty easy to prove malice
But could it not be reasonably assumed that you were only attempting to annoy the owner and not cause harm?
No idea if that even makes a difference, would be funny tho
"It was ugly and dirty and I was just trying to wash it."
Case dismissed.
I was trying to wash the ugly off
And they look like dumpsters from behind. Apparently raccoons have even scratched some trying to get inside, thinking they held delicious trash.
The dude who owns the new Dunkin Donuts in town parked his out front with a Dunkin sticker on it. Totally a legit business expense.
This wouldn't change how I play? I already destroy everything on sight (in Fortnite).
The change is if you see one, there's an implied truce between every non-Cybertruck-owner until they're dead, then it's back to a free for all.
