Squat. It's a Carolina squat.

Boomer.

Nothin' wrong with a Cybertruck that a giant hole in the ground and a stick of dynamite wouldn't fix.

The Cybertruck is a wonderful machine. It's the best truck ever made. I want to buy one.

Reminds me of my former business partner Fred one of the trips to Sema in Las Vegas, he had actually already designed and built and had no a sport truck displayed at Sema previously. I forget whether it was 2004, 2005, 2006 or 2007, but we were laid over for 12 hours in Chicago, and by the time we got to Vegas, it was early in the morning or late at night, depending on how you look at it, we went to the car rental agency at the airport that we’d already had a reservation with they said go out and choose a car. Mind you we are both exhausted, but Fred walks toward the closest car and proceeds to climb in, I say, Fred what the hell are you doing? Fred was actually opening the door of an Aztec. He did not realize it because he was exhausted. He now 20 years older than me, and you don’t really plan on us going to Sema in an Aztec, do you?
He was so tired he didn’t realize what he was doing and he’s a bigger critic than I am because he’s got the the industrial ldesigning mind to see things:http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1745371942.jpg
We were going to build this, we actually, through Fred’s neighbor, who owned a few Dodge dealerships, bought a Magnum RT, actually the “LAST” AWD RT, as Dodge discontinued the AWD RT Magnums.

Don't want to offend anyone here who bought one.....

We have a large group of "green nerds" here and a gov that tried to push the population to adopting electric cars with all kinds of rebates taken off the paychecks of the citizens...

It puts a smile on face driving by the "TeZla" dealership and seeing in stock Cyber Trucks... When I pass the odd one on the street, I giggle wondering who chose to buy it....

I see them pretty much every day that I go into the office. Houston is full of them. I even occasionally see one out here in the boonies. Houston is a big place, so I eventually see just about everything.

Most of them have been "stainless". I saw a white one this past week. I've seen them in blue and black and maybe another color too.

I see a fair amount of videos of them stuck in mud or snow. I assume that's due to running the wrong tires, or is it the vehicles awd/TC?

I saw a video of one the other day that seemed to be out in some fairly deep salt water that actually managed to drive out that was fairly impressive. It looked like he was going to lose it, but then pulled it off.

wrong tires and anything gets stuck

the driving in water thing is because Musk once said the Cybertruck was watertight and could be used as a boat for short distances and a few numbnuts believed him

what I’ve heard is that the only truth about what it can and cannot be used for is found in . . . the warranty.

KFC911 05-14-2025 07:07 AM

Good tires ... prolly not great ones....

Gotta ask Bob...
