A farmer proves the Tesla Cybertruck is a workhorse, defying critics with a video showcasing impressive features.
Sounds like a good fit for a paid for piece from Elon.
I guess the Fortnite publicity stunt isn’t going so well.
I don’t play the game so I’ve got no stocks in this, but why on earth did Epic even agree to it? Tesla must’ve put a ridiculous amount of zeroes on that paycheck. I mean you might as well put Hitler’s car in it at this point.
I don’t understand what the best case scenario is on a ad campaign like that. 12 year olds think that cybertrucks are cool and make their parents spend 100k on one?
My extremely progressive by American farmer standards uncle, who has driven a Prius for non-farm travel for over a decade, would probably stare at this article silently, turn, and walk out to the barn to continue working. Just about the harshest response that man ever gives.

Farmer inexplicably spends over 100 grand buying trash
What a funny account. Created in July and only full of tech articles posts with zero comments…

I’ve checked and they posted an article from “ibtimes” 26 (!!) times
Site Posts www.ibtimes.co.uk 26 www.techtimes.com 10 www.hngn.com 4 Some further analysis shows that all 3 are using the same name server provider (AWS) and have the same registrant name (a company called PERFECT PRIVACY, LLC). Techtimes and HNGN are also both hosted at Google Cloud, but ibtimes is hosted at AWS. Making it seem like the account is attempting to increase backlinks to their sites. But it could also just be a coincidence of course.
Edit 2024-08-16: They posted another article from IBNTIMES.
The sole positive is he can plug a welder into it…
But it’s a hell of a lot cheaper to just put a generator in the bed of a real truck. Plus you won’t accidentally use all your battery welding and be stuck. Since you can’t just bring out a new battery, you’d have to tow it back.
Also, it costs $100k. No sane farmer is spending $100k on a work truck that’s inevitably going to get really dirty and banged up.
And won’t survive things like… getting sprayed with water.
You’re being unreasonable, it’s a farm not an ocean! Ever seen a water farm? Didn’t think so.
It’s called surface rust, and totally normal on stainless steel surfaces. Happens on Deloreans too and they’re fine 50 years later.
Absolutely hilarious how people’s hatred for Musk completely erases any sense of objectivity or rationality.
It’s just rust bro, it’s actually cool that your 100k truck rusts out of the factory. When it rains you just reset the car and it only takes 4 hours, who cars, don’t you have a phone to watch 2 movies?
I don’t know man, a lot of work trucks can get to six figures pretty easily once you start adding utility beds and the like. Especially if you start with a one ton.
Have you seen the bed of a cybertruck? It’s barely usable
Not talking about the cyber truck. I’m talking about actual pickups. The Fords, the Chevys, the Rams, and the like. Stuff people actually use for work. You can’t swap the bed on the cybertruck
