Is this a joke? What else could be under that tarp? It even has a little flap for the plug.

I feel my ability to understand satire is being attacked by reality.

And I checked the comments and its a mix of musk riding:

"I don’t understand how people get so easily manipulated into hating someone that has done so much to change our life’s. Elon is great man and is doing great things for our country and uncovering so much corruption and honestly he needs more credit"

or thinking this is a joke:

"That’s not hiding the fact that there’s a swastikar under it"

Lmao, this is obviously a troll.

It's not even satire, just straight up trolling.

When you use the cover, guess what gets blocked? The cameras.

So no more sentry mode.

This just makes the cybertruck an even more attractive target.

i think the actual purpose is to prevent water damage

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 month ago

That's a dust cover, not a waterproof tarp.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago

Ah, so the purpose is to trap in moisture to accelerate that coveted patina

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago

Coveted Patina is also the less successful sequel to Stephen King's Needful Things.

[-] Wilco@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Nice

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Lord knows that car can’t do so by itself.

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 month ago

JFC that car is humongous. I could fit my small car twice under that tarp, with room to spare. Or that guy is tiny.

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 10 points 1 month ago

Makes you wonder "why not put it in your garage" but then oh yeah, because tiny man want big truck to feel big, so big he can't park it in his garage anymore

[-] 5too@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I don't think one would fit in my garage...

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

A bit of him is probably very tiny.

[-] beebers@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

They barely fit in parking spaces

[-] misophonium 5 points 1 month ago

Edmund's spec sheet gives a height of 70.5in (5'10.5) so he's probably around 5'6

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I would feel so ridiculous, propelling this whole fucking boat just to move my ass to the grocery store...

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Swasticar owners take no publicity is bad publicity to heart. Get that attention in one way or another!

[-] androidul@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

it’s not, the person is actually a midget

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I could practically fit my apartment under that tarp

[-] El_guapazo@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

It's actually Elon musk under that blanket

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 9 points 1 month ago

I thought it was Saddam Hussein for a second.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Truly no one else in history has ever or will ever again design a car after their rib cage. You've done it, Elmo, you've invented something in your life!

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Take it as a cautionary tale. Even though depraved money demons control every major aspect of social and news media and you are surrounded by a constant ear-splitting blare of fascistic brown-note, nobody will ever be better at lying to you than yourself.

[-] dwindling7373@feddit.it 15 points 1 month ago

Finally something in which I can flex my specific knowledge of the human world!

It is a joke: the shape of the truck is quite peculiar and covering hides none of its typical features.

[-] Beldarofremulak@discuss.online 4 points 1 month ago

Are you sure? I didn't see any tags. Best to be safe and assume this is something serious and malicious.

[-] dwindling7373@feddit.it 2 points 1 month ago

I don't see any tag in your reply I'll therefore assume you are being serious and malicious.

[-] CrowAirbrush@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Ah yes the F-150 with the sharply angled roof.

[-] egidighsea@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago

No wonder we don’t buy US cars in Europe - in which city center could that monster fit in?

[-] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

Moscow

[-] oplkill@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Nope, its pretty narrow and Tesla would be there simply stolen

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

In scrap parts*

[-] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

I dont think the owner of this car would care about the disgusting lower class meat or their so called opinions.

Why is he wrapping that dumpster?

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 9 points 1 month ago

If you can tell what car it is even when it's under a tarp it's a bad design.

[-] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago

I hate Tesla as much as the next guy, but recognizing a thing with just a silhouette doesn’t mean it’s a bad design, it just means it’s unique and memorable

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

Cars shouldn't be memorable at least not by their silhouette. Cause all the shape that they are because that is the shape that is optimum for a car to be. So if a car is memorable by its silhouette then that means it's not an optimum shape.

Whoever designed that vehicle doesn't have a grasp of the aerodynamic concepts, so I assume it was Elon himself.

[-] formulaBonk@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Usually I’d let this go but by all principles of design and all historic reality you’re just wrong. You want “optimum shape” wtf are you even talking about? Optimum for what? You talking aerodynamics? Because newsflash, check last 30 years of F1 with as optimized aero as it gets and it’s a spec car … yet they still have brilliant unique and recognizable designs. Idk what a designer did to you to be so salty about this but you’re just wrong and it’s a very weird hill to dig yourself onto

No I'm talking about how it doesn't conform to safety regulations which for some bizarre reason appear to be optional in the United States.

Cars have to conform to certain requirements in order to be a functional vehicle part of being a functional vehicle is to be a legal vehicle. If it's so goddamn angular that you would cut a pedestrian in half upon impact then it isn't functional.

Racing cars aren't really relevant because racing cars aren't meant to be around the rest of the public so they can do whatever they want.

[-] formulaBonk@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

If you want to launch into a completely different and separate conversation about safety and street legality of the cybertruck here we can but the short of it is - I agree that swastikar shouldn’t be road legal.

HOWEVER, your initial claim was about how the design should not be recognizable under a tarp and that it’s a bad design if it is. That’s just objectively false.
