AI6YR Ben<p>Jalopnik:</p><p>"This may still come as a surprise to a lot of you, but the Tesla Cybertruck sucks. Not only is it bad at being a truck, it's also a bad vehicle in general. I mean, you can't seriously tell me you'd rather buy a truck that can be bricked by a simple car wash instead of a Rivian R1T? Really? I don't remember any Rivian owners complaining about body panels flying off their trucks while driving, but that's absolutely a thing with Cybertrucks. In fact, body panels flying off has become enough of an issue that Tesla has paused Cybertruck deliveries for now, Electrek reports."</p><p>👀 😂 </p><p><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tesla</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/cybertruck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cybertruck</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Decades later, the Tesla Cybertruck, lately a prime target for protesters demonstrating their dislike of CEO Elon Musk, blurs the boundaries between the battlefield and the public street. When Tesla released the Cybertruck in 2023, its dramatic style polarized the public. Popular theories abounded about its unusual look. Many speculated that its inspiration had come from spaceships of science fiction. In discussing the car’s aesthetic early on, Musk referenced cyberpunk and Blade Runner, a film that features sleek metallic vehicles, though with rounded silhouettes designed for aerodynamic speed. He’s also used the phrase “The future should look like the future”—a reference, his biographer Walter Isaacson said, to a question his son Saxon asked him once: “Why doesn’t the future look like the future?”</p><p>Whether or not this was intentional, the Cybertruck’s harsh, sharp edges remind us, instead, of something from the past: the larger armored personnel vehicles that patrolled streets throughout Musk’s youth in apartheid South Africa. In the 1980s, the Casspir proliferated across the country, moving from the battlefield and onto the streets. Initially improvised as a way to circumvent international sanctions against the apartheid government, the Casspir mine-resistant ambush protected vehicle was invented and produced domestically. It was a rugged all-terrain vehicle intended to withstand gunfire and mine explosions. It could drive up to 60 mph and be modified to add artillery functions.</p><p>Eventually, the Casspir was deployed to patrol townships, the residential neighborhoods where many Black South Africans lived (...) By the 1990s, the Casspir had become an iconic global symbol of apartheid oppression."</p><p><a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/03/tesla-cybertruck-protests-vandalism-elon-musk.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">slate.com/news-and-politics/20</span><span class="invisible">25/03/tesla-cybertruck-protests-vandalism-elon-musk.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tesla</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SouthAfrica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SouthAfrica</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Apartheid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apartheid</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CyberTruck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CyberTruck</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Casspir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Casspir</span></a></p>
J. Steven York RESISTS<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/@ai6yr" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>ai6yr</span></a></span> <br>I'm as amused as anyone by the stories of Tesla (especially Cybertruck) harassment and vandalism. But I think it's important to remember that a lot of people bought them for environmental reasons, and just destroying these cars would be an environmental mistake. The enemy here isn't EVs, it's the man Elon, his friends, and what he stands for. Go after NEW sales to hurt his income.
