According to lock picking lawyer, the locks on those boots are not hard to pick if you have the right tools. Seems like a more elegant solution than jackhammers or angle grinders, so I keep telling myself I'm gonna brush up on my skills and get said picks to keep in my car, but I haven't yet.
This just happened to me in a admittedly smaller vehicle and trust me even with shitty aluminum rims. The CV axle came out of the transmission and the lower control arm sheared before the rim even got more than a dent.
It's a feature! Like a lizard tossing its tail to distract a predator, a tesla is capable of tossing its rear end to escape being captured by tow trucks
Correct - 2019 LEAF SL+ - her range when fully charged in mixed Highway/Local is 215... in reality when she's driving long distance that's a bit closer to 160.
swapped her for an Ariya this year. Better range, much nicer car tbh.
The depreciation on these is atrocious. Plus a lot of insurance carriers dropped coverage of them. They might as well salvage it and sell it to a junk yard at a loss.
I have no award to give, but if I had one... I would have given it away to another person earlier today. If I had one AND hadn't seen THAT post, you would get it.
Honestly, if one of those is anywhere near me on the street, I'll make damn sure to keep as far away as possible. Might break into pieces or smth, who knows.
The depreciation on these dumpsters is iceing on this cake, just sitting there it costs these microPPs lots of money. Accident on CarFax, wont be able to trade in for a used Hyundai even.
After 5 years, the Cybertruck is expected to hold ~40–50% of its value depending on source, significantly lower than top luxury brands (Lexus ~62%, Mercedes-Benz ~54%, etc.).
It depreciates much faster in the first year (~37–50%) than typical luxury vehicles.
Long-term outlook:
In 7–10 years, the Cybertruck may retain only 25–30% of its original value—well below most luxury/comparison benchmarks.
The issue is EVs also deprecate faster them ICE cars. for example the 2024 porsche taycan (MSRP) 90'000 is now available for 70-78 thousand.I know you used chatgpt for your reply.
Worst part (for the driver) their insurance will probably total it and pay out way less than they owe. Which seems to be normal for these ridiculous trucks.
Off-roading? Trying to get out of parking lots with an inch of snow, driving on well traveled roads.... Anyone who takes that thing off-roading is an idiot....well proven by their choice of vehicles.
What could cause so much damage to the wheel without breaking off the hub???
The only thing I can think of is they got a flat but decided to keep driving on it for many MANY kilometers.
Looks like Homer Simpson’s car after he tried to drive home with a boot on it
This part of the episode is pure comedy. I love to rewatch it.
He eventually used a jackhammer to remove the boot.
why not just use a grinder
Why the pearls, why the hair, why anything?
what
I think there’s a bunch of bots replying to this stupid thread for some reason
No lol they're all simpsons quotes
It was a stretch

I've yet to see the LPL find anything hard to pick.
Sliding/turning on ice and suddenly hitting a surface with traction with the wheel turned in the wrong direction maybe?
This just happened to me in a admittedly smaller vehicle and trust me even with shitty aluminum rims. The CV axle came out of the transmission and the lower control arm sheared before the rim even got more than a dent.
If the tire gave out doing that, it would shred long before due to torsion under acceleration. Looks like the sidewalls shredded themselves.
Design flaw in the wheel - someone thought it was a good idea to have a 5 sided rim with 6 lug nuts. Wheels sheering off cyberturds happens a lot.
There is a puddle. Water voids the warranty for a reason.
IIRC it was a design fault, The wheel literally breaks in half.
At this point, what ISN'T a design flaw when it comes to the Cybertruck?
...The license plate doesn't fall off I guess
License plate comes off with the rear end when you try to tow. But it stays with the rear end so they know who it belongs to!

Frequent curb bumper, finally hit one curb too many
Ahead: Pebble on Road
It was cold.
That isn't covered by warranty. It is just normal wear and tear.
Brushed against a leaf.
Luckily, the leaf was unharmed.
Musk saving the planet again.
He's not interested in this plant. He wants Mars.
Oh thank goodness
I'm laughing extra hard because there is, indeed, another EV called the "LEAF".
So I found this extra funny.
Also funny is how the standard CyberTruck has about the same range as the mid-gen LEAFs e.e 200miles.
And the Leaf is wayyyy more reliable.
You can find a low mileage one with decent options for only a few grand
All in one go? he he he he. Once a year even? Maybe if the wind is following the whole way.
1000 miles one way, from NY to Illinois.
One break between to sleep, and then continuing.
This was only possible in 2024 thanks to the A2Z EV CCS1 to CHAdeMO adapter.
There and back again... Shockingly the adapter even worked at Tesla stations (which had Magic Dock)
You are talking about the Leaf I presume.

Emotional damage!
What are the odds of hitting a leaf on the ground though?
Chance in a million.
Cyber fucked

Vandalism of them is high and Trump declared vandalizing them to be an act of terror… which insurance companies don’t cover.
Trump said that, there was no law passed that established it, and insurance companies could not reject a claim over it.
The battery alone could power your house for weeks tho. Even as a full salvage these got some massive value
Hopefully the road is okay.
I read about that the leaf they hit was unharmed...
Looks like the front fell off...
And was then towed beyond the environment
Let me make something very clear...
Yeah, that’s rather typical, I’d like to make that point.
These things are comically fragile
Good riddance.
Luckily nothing in value was lost
Must have been unusually bad apocalypse to take out this poor CT
No sweat. There is a million more out there that nobody else wants to buy. 😂🤷
Meh. Another Swastimobile to the crusher.

r/cyberstuck
Oh this makes me so happy. One less magapanzer on the road 😍 hurts his ego just as much as his wallet
Something of value but very little worth was lost
I don't get it, dumpsters aren't that expensive to fix
21st century Edsel
If on fire, the fire department doesn't bother to put it out. They spray the area around the car to prevent the fire spreading.
indeed because lithium battery fires are very hard to extinguish
r/CyberStuck
The world's most expensive brick.
I thought we all knew these things were ass driving in the snow like 5 years ago.
Ah yes, the "truck for the apocalypse"... defeated by a little snow and a wet street. xD
Why are they putting a dumpster on a flatbed tow truck? Haven’t they heard of garbage tucks?
In a normal car that's an easy fix on that car it's really bad
What happened?
They hit a leaf.
I have no award to give, but if I had one... I would have given it away to another person earlier today. If I had one AND hadn't seen THAT post, you would get it.
Feel the praise. Or something.
the poor man's award
Well, it's a description of me, thst. Poor. I do like that comment, though.
Hit a K-Hole, like its creator.
Speed bump at 4 mph
This just in: origami car no work
Well they say they have no resale value and to drive them until the wheels fall off.
why are the pics so bad. its 2025
My apologies
Passing from other side of highway going 50+. Rushing to grab phone and laughing at the same time. Zoomed in/cropped for detail
First thing I saw was OPs name. Now that's all I see.
r/cyberstuck
What "ouch" ? They're taking the trash out for the owner.
Hard to see how bad it is. Your lod bias is out of whack.
Honestly, if one of those is anywhere near me on the street, I'll make damn sure to keep as far away as possible. Might break into pieces or smth, who knows.
Doesnt really look expensive, looks like a piece of shit that is expensive
This makes me smile.
These things can’t keep wheels under them!
It certainly looks better than stock. I suspect it drives better too.
Cyberdrek
Driver was blasting Kate bush- up that hill god theme/inspiration to go up a hill and then wreckage!! 🤣🤣🤣
Possibly tried to drive off with a boot on the tire.
Looks like the metal of the rims failed given how outer part of the rims are missing and the rubber/radial tire.
The only Good Swasticar, is a dead Swasticar!!
Looks like a regular cyber truck to me.
Did it light on fire again?
Must have run over an atom
The front fell off?
The depreciation on these dumpsters is iceing on this cake, just sitting there it costs these microPPs lots of money. Accident on CarFax, wont be able to trade in for a used Hyundai even.
From looking online the depreciation is about the same as any other luxury car.

It's a Tesla. It came from the factory like that. They're taking delivery not getting a tow.
teSSler swasticar model wankpanzer. Fastest 60 to junkyard time in the industry
Looks like someone had to pay the douche tax.
Worst part (for the driver) their insurance will probably total it and pay out way less than they owe. Which seems to be normal for these ridiculous trucks.
ah damn, looks like somebody breathed on it
🤣🤣🤣
Now there are only 20 left on the streets!
Time to buy a new one because you never learn.
It must cost about 50p to make that hideous bodywork?
Hahahahahahahaha. That sucks for you.
And nothing of value was lost.
Cybertrucks appear to spontaneously disassemble in the presence of snow.
Do they not make snow tires for that dumpster on wheels? Did they think it would only be driven in ideal conditions?
With the amount of posts I've seen of these getting stuck "off-roading", yes. This thing is a grocery getter.
Off-roading? Trying to get out of parking lots with an inch of snow, driving on well traveled roads.... Anyone who takes that thing off-roading is an idiot....well proven by their choice of vehicles.
Yes, but the problem is Tesla made traction control system.
As the car is etherloop, there is no can bus, and all systems are 100% Tesla. And we see the results here.
That's only expensive if you think they have any value to begin with.
One less POS on the road
