Jesus wept, look at that blindspot in front of the A pillar. It's the size of Elon's ego!
The swastidumpster doesn't have blind spots, it has visibility spots
I mean, that has been my experience with a lot of newer cars. They're feeling more and more like airplanes; rear visibility isn't great, trunk lids are higher, pillars are thicker, the cabin is full of headrests and shit...
Stupid airbags
and to add insult to the injuries, some modern cars don't even let you disable the fucking airbags without connecting to the odb2 port.
cars have just ben getting worse and worse for the few applications where they are the best option (sparsely populated areas with bad infrastructure where having more than 6" of clearance is a hard requirement to not scrape the bottom on potholes).
Children are replaceable. Always remember: empathy is weakness.
Yeah, I get how they keep taking motorcyclists out
Because having an A pillar isn't bad enough, they went ahead and added a second one...
Probably so their drivers don't see the people they cut through and end up traumatised?
Just do a U-turn in the opposite direction.
"I'm not an ambi-turner."
I'm sure the fact that the steering wheel is a rectangle makes this issue all the more annoying.
Holy hell this is embarrassing. I nearly pre-ordered a cybertruck several years ago before Musk lost his mind and there were few EVs on the market. Glad I got my Chevy instead - it's a rock solid EV.
Elon lost his mind and was calling people "pedo guy" for saving kids before the cybertruck had preorders available.
That really was the day the mask fell off.
He was quite well liked up to that point.
I haven't heard of that one but just Googled it. What a weirdo.
The cars where garbage long before he lost his mind
Glad you saw sence. It's hard to know what in Tesla is Musk and what is Tesla. Considering that half the staff at Tesla have to Elon proof the factory so he doesn't stop production because he doesn't like the colour of the robots or something. The cybertruck is all musk.
They had upper management specifically to distract him like a toddler
Steer-by-wire, ladies and gentlemen.
Not the issue, I have a Kia EV6 and have had no issues with steering. Just shitty Tesla thing.
Yeah, the issue is shitty steer-by-wire. I work with VW on theirs, it's solid (if a bit overcomplicated).
The Kia EV6 is a fairly conventional electric power steering system, pretty sure. Steering wheel is physically connected to the steering rack, so not steer-by-wire.
$5 rc controllers can do turns without losing center, though.
Makes you wonder how overcharged this is then. lol

About 100% of the price. It is worth nothing, and yet it has a non-zero price. Pre-release i though it looked goofy, saw the price and said to myself it is wildly overpriced. Saw the reviews and I wouldn't want it free.
Most cars don't see issues before 35k. None of the cars my family owned (7 different) didn't have any (apart from one battery issue that basically prevented the car from starting up and required a support person to go reset the car on site).
Hell my 33k Citroën (don't judge me) C3 didn't even need geometry fixup. The only issue was a marten chewed on my engine cooling pipe, leaked all the coolant and started overheating the engine on the highway. Fixable with some rubber pressure bandaid and 2$ roll of tape. The pipe was a $40 fix including shipping the pipe from France and work.
it should be SO SIMPLE to have it automatically correct. ffs, we had on-the-fly digital calibration figured out with PS2 GAMES, but i guess making a fucking car isn’t as important as compensating for old joysticks.
I'm guessing there is a recalibration mode but I'm sure the modern car market would demand you go to the dealership to run that program.
How harsh are the penalties for using your phone while driving over there?
It's a ticketable offense in most states, but that's usually it, so just a fine or a day in court if you want to try to fight the ticket.
Cops do not give a flying fuck about people using their phones while driving. They're too busy looking at the actual fucking laptops they have in their cars.
Or they're looking at their phones, too. I'm a school bus driver and a couple of years ago I had a cop pass me doing 45 mph while I had my flashing red lights and stop sign on. He nearly hit kids that were crossing and when I looked down at him I saw him with one hand on his steering wheel and the other holding his phone.
speaking of laptops, what are the penalties for using one while driving?

Very very light.
- What is the fine for distracted driving? The fine is $172 for this offence. This amount includes a fine of $150 plus the 15 percent victims' surcharge. This fine is in keeping with the fines for other traffic violations.
- Are there demerit points for this offence? No. It is felt that the dollar fine will encourage drivers to focus on driving. Drivers that exhibit what is deemed to be more serious or risky behaviors could be charged with 'driving carelessly' under the Traffic Safety Act. The penalty for the existing 'driving carelessly' offence carries six demerit points and a fine of $402. If a driver does commit a moving violation while engaged in one of these activities, or any other deemed as a distraction, they could receive two tickets - one for distracted driving, and one for the moving violation.

So this is the inside of a douche mobile
Best steering of any dumpster.
A place to post your Cybertruck fails! We're here to make fun of this hunk of shit and throw as much shade as we can to that garbage bag of a human elon.
No doxxing No slurs No racism And no fucking nazis!
