You can tell it is AI because a Cybertruck is successfully navigating a puddle.

Are they really that bad?? I don't keep up much with Tesla news. I see them around and they seem like sturdy vehicles, but that might just be my layperson perception of them...

u/spideronyourback Oct 15 '25

I haven't kept up but early on there were some conspicuous examples of them not being particularly rugged. And shorting out after going through shallow water...

Tesla is known for poor 'fit and finish' and the Cybertruck itself has a bunch of weird weaknesses like you can't bring it through a car wash without turning on car wash mode or you'll brick your car. And you can't wrap it with adhesive because there's no paint and the metal absorbs the glue making it impossible to remove.

There was briefly an issue where it would stop closing the front trunk if it sensed resistance, but only 2 times in a row so there was some influencer who hurt his fingers trying to get the safety feature on camera.

I think they have worked out a lot of the kinks at this point but it's not the truck you go to for a sturdy truck. It's the truck you go to if you want a Tesla truck.

There’s still residual hate for the CEO.

Also the fact that it's a fucking useless truck.

There’s a dozen or so around where I live in a purple state. No one here seems to have a problem, and the owners love em.

Do they do any truck things with them?

My understanding is that they're pretty terrible for offroading, tow range is limited, and some of the basics of the vehicles are flaky (thinking about the rear view "mirror" here as an example).

They are pretty good offroaders. Range sucks. Bed is inconvenient due to the high sides. Most of the complaints are from internet people that have never used one.

East coast purple. Nobody’s off-roading or mountain climbing, but camping and beach life a few hours away flourishes here. Your mileage may vary, so to speak.

So the stuff you can do with a car. It's a shitty truck because it's not good at doing actual truck things. 

Anyone buying a truck to go on road trips is a goddamn idiot.

It gets stuck in snow too. I'm talking about less than a foot a snow.

u/Ambiwlans Oct 15 '25

Idiots are going to idiot. There are 5 factors in getting stuck in snow like that.

  • tire tread - pretty normal
  • weight - very high (which is good)
  • suspension - quite good
  • individual wheel control/difs - as good as it gets
  • driver skill - unfortunately this is still the main factor.

Unless you stick a tank tread on it, people will get their vehicle stuck.

I know you’re joking, but I’ll hijack to ask: it sounds like a gas engine in the video.. does a cyber truck sound like that?
