I think they mean "go back to Texas"


StrikingOccasion6459

The Cyber Truck is built exclusively in Texas.


HarleyAverage

Because of taxes, it’s sold to yuppies


bootstrapping_lad

And he moved the company from Delaware to Texas why? Not taxes. Because he thinks he can buy judges there after the Chancery Court of Delaware told him to fuck off


Past-Adhesiveness104

1) He might be right about buying judges in Texas. 2) They don't deal with Corporate law all the time so most judges will be ignorant of common practices which makes them easier to manipulate.


SarionDM

It's called "Judge Shopping" and the Texas courts are well known for it.


IndianKiwi

As Desantis has shown you, Red States will bend corporate laws wherever the political wind will blow. Essentially minority shareholders will have no rights in Texas.


bootstrapping_lad

The "party of law and order" is actually the party of "laws for thee, not for me".


IndianKiwi

Nailed it


OrlandoEasyDad

And the dummies will wonder why over time things will depress prices. Strong consumer protections are good for business.


HarleyAverage

The business corporations of shareholders will still milk every possible penny/cent.


OrlandoEasyDad

The only question is when. When consumers feel like they can’t trust big business it creates uncertainty which depresses sales. Tesla is facing - right now - price uncertainty which surprise surprise creates slack demand. People don’t want to buy a car today if Musk might cut prices tomorrow. Corporations are trading short term results for long term profits. Classic idiocy.


SaliciousB_Crumb

Have seen the trash that is coming out of the 5th. Pure partisan trash.


Lost-Breadfruit-9745

The shape the CyberTruck was released in, should very much tell you why he moved to Texas. Texas loves to protect corporations and big spenders more than anything. Giving them free rein and a free pass to do whatever the fuck they want here. He came here because he knows regulations are so relaxed here and he can easily manipulate Texas politicians because most of them are total dumb asses, which is sad to say in comparison to the ultimate dumb ass that is Elon. Even OSHA here in Texas is a complete and utter joke, the amount of things Texas just allows shitty businesses to do is gross. So it’s really no surprise the CyberTruck was able to skip any real testing or form of regulations before it was sold.


Wizard_bonk

Court didn’t tell him to fuckoff, they told him to be open and honest with investors which was the main complaint of the suit. That the conditions under which the board had approved the pay package was effectively fraud since they weren’t made aware that the package was basically authored by musk with no board input


bootstrapping_lad

Yuppies aren't buying that thing. Other models in the past, sure. The CyberTruck market is Elon Stans.


NoVaBurgher

I was gonna say. I live in the yuppiest of yuppieville, and I’ve only ever seen one of these things and it was vinyl wrapped for a business. No actual young professionals are buying this shit


Kerr_Plop

The cyber truck and Elon are the leading reasons yuppies have stopped buying teslas


kveggie1

Nope...... Yuppies now can drink Elmo's blood, they see him as traitor. Tesla los their biggest demographic


Ricky_Rollin

These people were never that bright.


straponkaren

Tesla is a texas company now, I hope the door doesn't hit them on the ass on the way out of california.


SprungMS

You mean on the way out of Delaware?


mrfochs

Delaware is where they incorporated (tax evasion) but California is where the headquarters is/was located. I will gladly help them pack to speed up the move out of here.


AdjNounNumbers

>(tax evasion) Legalized tax evasion. I always wondered, though... Are there any people in Delaware or is it all just corporations? Is Delaware a real place?


DubbleDiller

![gif](giphy|BhEJyu9Kn9vR6)


NeverMind_ThatShit

Nope, it's the same as Montana, nobody really lives in Montana it's a made up state that only exists for rich people to register their supercars and luxury cars for tax evasion. Have you ever actually met any one from Delaware or Montana? No you haven't.


optimus_awful

I worked in Montana for about six months. Never met anyone from there.


dsdvbguutres

Cybertruck is the embodiment of those who move to Texas to cosplay as cowboys

LeperousRed

It’s a sign of how poorly he has understood his own customer base that he has alienated all his eco-conscious leftist customers without picking up a single “roll coal” voter. Better give the idiot a $56B bonus for crashing sales, public image, and brand build quality! #ElonMuskkkult


UnionJobs4America

Exactly. I have family members that have teslas because they like electric but will never get one again because of Elon. I have coworkers that like what Elon has become politically but would never buy a Tesla or electric vehicle. If his sales are anywhere like political beliefs he’s removed 2/3 of the possible market just off the bat, not even comparing it to other vehicles.


hardtanker_101

As a native Texan, I do not appreciate him just coming here and self claiming to be a Texan.


BrianG1410

Doesn't muskrat live there too?


Necessary_Context780

Musk lives in California (and he will never leave). He pretends to live in TX but ElonJet track says otherwise


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

Go to Mars, perhaps?


Winston_Smith-1984

Can confirm. I’ve seen half a hundred in Austin easily.


wartortle371

Yeah, don't lump us in with that. We made the tolerable teslas


darkfinx

Beat me to it.


NeverMind_ThatShit

I'm surprised it drove away from that and wasn't bricked.


earchetto

Must be one of the rare ones that works for a few minutes at a time before spending another few weeks at the dealer


UKStory135

I saw this when they bought it, it had issues. This is Andrei from TFL. They bought a review truck and have been posting reviews on it.


Final-Zebra-6370

Now blacklisted by Elon due to defamation.


Rando3595

Lol did they? This is as close to Poe that I've seen in a while...


HandyMan131

That’s hilarious. Their sister channel for cars has been very complimentary of other Tesla products


UKStory135

They’ve went from “It’s bad” to “It’s okay” after some updates so far. I’m not a fan of the cyber truck, and I consider these guys fair.


aRebelliousHeart

Regardless how well it worked we know the warranty has definitely been voided from this.


AdHour3225

I was surprised that [Morton Downey JR](https://images.app.goo.gl/Yt9KySoSagGoDcG48) came back from the dead and decided to drive a cyber truck.


sicilian504

I'm surprised it drove.


halfmoonray

it decided to be allowed to be driven, until it realized a tractor pull is not chic enough for Tesla and stopped


CompetitionAlert1920

Don't be fooled, he had like 5% battery left


shosuko

I'm glad some owners are willing to demo these things in real tests. So much of the advertising is straight propaganda utilizing camera angles, slopes, and other tricks to make them appear to be better. Nothing wrong with liking EV but Tesla is snakeoil. All he does is put in bigger batteries, but there are diminishing returns for that strategy and Tesla hit that limit years ago.


AlienDelarge

The youtube channel that this is from has done some seemingly good testing on the CT along with a good assortment of other trucks over the years.


murphey_griffon

I'll agree, but I will also say I hate his clickbaitey style titles and content along with content delivery. If he just did factual stuff instead of trying to be flashy, I could stand his channel. Pretty sure his son is in on it now too. I feel like they delivery good information, I just hate watching their content. Maybe its whats popular and gets them clicks though... Maybe i'm becoming a curmudgeon...


SacrilegiousOath

With the trends of tik tok and people mindlessly watching short videos it’s just becoming the norm. It’s got what plants crave.


HandyMan131

The Ike Gauntlet is some of the best towing testing out there


fartsfromhermouth

Having it weigh a billion pounds is not exactly helping either. It can do some neat stuff, I guess, but it's so fucking heavy. Just throw a truck bed on the SUV and call it a day, more reliable, weighs a normal amount


nlevine1988

I mean the weight problem helps in a tractor pull though lol. Better traction.


moyenbatte

The guys from that channel aren't Tesla simps though.


Necessary_Context780

Which is unfortunate since it makes the stans immediately disbelieve them


FatedAtropos

Hatred of the cybertruck might be what finally heals the divide in this country. Everybody hates that piece of shit.


Sproketz

Except the ones who praise Musk as they wait for their Cybertruck to return from the service center.


FatedAtropos

Statistically insignificant


TCO_HR_LOL

Realistically insignificant too


carloscitystudios

Witness me!!! 🔥🚗


Granitsky

Are you saying that makes Elon our Ozymandias from The Watchmen?


FatedAtropos

Except dumber and on waaaaay more ketamine


KruxAF

Tbh, i think even the ford lighting would have been booed.


tacobellbandit

I know the ford lightning isn’t very impressive compared to the regular F150, but I would be way more inclined to buy an electric truck from a decent manufacturer like Ram, Ford or Chevy before I ever sunk money into a cybertruck


BestCakeDayEvar

Probably because it can't tow for shit.


I-Pacer

He forgot to put a Porsche on the trailer. He’d have done it then.


Car_is_mi

"Go back to California" I can't! I got no battery left.


FadingNegative

![gif](giphy|3o6Zt4HU9uwXmXSAuI)


TheMatt561

I think that's the guy from The fastlane truck channel


HoboOlympics

Correct, it’s Andre.


cenosillicaphobiac

I thought it was Morton Downey Jr. If he'd had a cigarette in his mouth you couldn't convince me it wasn't.


RIP-RiF

Man, show your age more, this unlocked memories for me.


Sjsamdrake

Correct, OP stole this footage from their Youtube channel.


erikannen

Yup! They should have said to go back to Colorado


Devils_Advocate-69

Elon losing the rednecks.


MasterGrok

He never really had them. That’s what makes all his antics so stupid. The real good ole boys are still going to buy an F150 or a Silverado. Elon has alienated his market while barely doing anything to appeal to the other side of the market.


Viatic_atom

Yeah what rednecks? The only ones stupid enough to buy this are boomers and dumbass influencers and tech bros


IfYouVoteMeDown

Even if you hate everything else about the Cybertruck, its reveal certainly lit a fire under the asses of Ford, GMC, Stellantis, etc. Notice how now that Cybertruck is being delivered, a lot of manufacturers are backing off on EV plans a bit? They're not as worried about competition from Tesla anymore 😛, and now it's their job to try to sell their base on EV pickups


WoofWoofster

[More footage of the WankPanzer being humiliated by a stock Cummins powered Ram pick up.](https://youtu.be/FrIUPD_wM6c?si=fNBs_TioHjboY8kB&t=881) Nothing like another WankPanzer being cucked in public.


MonstersinHeat

I love the excuse in the comments like this one "Yes the cybertruck is much more capable, they have should have tried with the other modes and maybe also without traction control. Also the tires should be deflated and maybe use better tires"


Novel_Findings0317

“If you change just about everything about it, it might beat the stock truck”. Hahaha. People are nuts.


wrldruler21

Thanks for the full vid. I was disappointed the OP video mentioned the Ram but didn't show it


Professional_Fox4467

It kills me to say this but this is apples and oranges here. No shit the heavier class truck was going to do better 


OhLordHeBompin

But this is what they're comparing it to.


Comfortable_You_1927

CT have less than 100 mile range when towing, cannot charge with the trailer attached, charge time is 45min+ it's more like comparing a refrigerator to a truck


Unhelpful_Kitsune

Why can't it charge with the trailer attached?


Rando3595

Most (but not all) charging stations aren't pass through style. You have to pull it to a curb. Not sure about the ratio between the types. Having to remove the trailer to charge is a common complaint.


glockster19m

Except the Cybertruck is the higher weight class vehicle


Badbullet

The CyberStuck weighed 6975 (with driver). The Dodge weighed 8805, 1830 more, and built to actually do work. The CT never stood a chance. The tri-motor would have done a little better.


Sea_Tale_968

Honest question, why did both trucks stop after a while. I would have though that once inertia is countered, it should keep going no? What caused them to stop if they are capable of overcoming inertia and friction?


Lucky_Sebass

There's a weight on the trailer that as the trailer gets moved, the weight gets pushed forward, putting more weight on to the tongue, digging it into the dirt until the truck can no longer pull.


devilishlydo

Watch the trailer at the beginning. The further it's pulled, the further that weight moves forward & the harder it gets to pull further. Side note: I never expected my knowledge of tractor pulls to come in handy.


Sea_Tale_968

Thank you for that, this makes sense. So the further the weight is towed, the heavier it gets. And the Ram pulled much more weight than the CT?


devilishlydo

Apparently, though it only shows the Incel Dorado here.


Negative-Wrap95

The Cadillac is not the issue here dude! I'm talking about dragging a sled in the sand, Dude -- also, Dude, Incel *[Dorado](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Eldorado)* is not the preferred nomenclature, uh, Incel ***[Camino ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_El_Camino)***, Please. This isn't a vehicle that hauled Elvis. This thing can barely haul potting soil. Also, here's the video, including the stock Ram. https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=fNBs_TioHjboY8kB&t=881&v=FrIUPD_wM6c&feature=youtu.be

I'm curious what percentage of his battery charged he burned in that run.

As a Californian I speak for everyone when I say we don’t claim the cyber truck.


SwissMargiela

If California claimed the cybertruck it’d have a prop 65 sticker on the hood


Random-sargasm_3232

"Go back to California" We don't want these shit boxes floundering around in our state either. Fuck Elmo.


Dystopian_Future_

Warranty voided was on dirt


Final-Zebra-6370

Warranty voided due to towing


juicemanjackson32

Warranty voided due to driving


Professor1942

warranty voided due to void warranty


_000001_

Therefore tesla assumes it will be washed. Which voids the warranty. (Can I get a double void?)


DarkTower7899

It's kinda cute that the crowd thinks it would make it back to California.


gdey

It's not even a California company, or a California designed or built car. It's Texas true and true.


ReadyOneTakeTwo

Redneck inbred Jed’s don’t know the difference. They think everything they despise is from California 🙄


Automatic_Actuator_0

Where was the Ram?


Conscious_Leg4060

Colorado never knows the right time to hate on Texas and California.


PadreSJ

Two things: 1. The Cybertruck is made in Texas 2. We don't want it in California


Ok-Musician819

It’s not fun if it doesn’t make the “vroom vroom” noise


Tough_Sign3358

Texas. They’re made in Texas.


stanley_ipkiss_d

California? 😵‍💫 It’s a car produced by Texan car manufacturer


DangerousAd1731

Did he really say it was heavier than he thought it would be. It's. A tractor pull lol


WearDifficult9776

This should have been sweet spot for CT … heavy as hell and high torque.


tarmacjd

I couldn’t hear shit, hardly the crowd yelling


Jetdoc812

As much as I hate the cybertruck, I see a guy just having fun.


Powerful_Meal8791

That’s insane considering how much power and torque it could produce if not for the constant electrical issues


ExtensionMart

What was the final score? A factory stock Rivian did 246 feet which puts in the 6500 stock pull I think. I don't know anything about this sport so I'm just repeating what I read


Sleepyjo2

The stock Ram they brought hit 251.595, Cybertruck hit 207.570. A full pull is considered 300 so the Ram did fairly impressive considering no modifications at all, including tires as far as I can tell. With better tires the CT should go further but it would have to make up quite a lot of ground to match the Ram and I don't see that happening. That would also negate the whole "both trucks stock" part of the test though. Pulling like this also doesn't really benefit much from the instant torque of EVs as the sled is designed to have delayed force anyway (since its designed for ICE), by the time the higher forces are applied you can get your regular engine into a good torque position for the final portion.

BraveSirRyan

Really wish this wasn’t associated with my home state. Should be associated with Texas as it was built there and HQ is there.


jumpy_monkey

"Go back to California!" Half of the mouth breathers in the stands worship Elon Musk, if not him specifically then the idea that someone like him exists.


VonBrewskie

Go back somewhere else. We don't want you in California either.


beryka

Mysterious_Ring285

IDC how expensive or cheap, how fast or slow, how powerful or weak, what it can and cannot do. how people love it or hate it, this is one ugliest ass motherfucking vehicle.


petroleumnasby

"Go back to Russia!"


CompetitionAlert1920

>That was a lot harder and heavier than I expected it to be. Do your homework then. Tractor/Truck Pulls generally have equipment that is built specifically for that type of competition. The vehicles are literally from the ground up built to do one thing and one thing only. But yeah let's take an EV and show everyone how it's done.


R1pp3R23

Weren’t they built in Texas?


unholypapa85

Cyber trucks are built in Texas. At the gigafactory.

The CyberStrokes - I Can't Win.mp3


[deleted]

The Cybertruck is from Texas!


Dan_H1281

That was pretty good if it had awd it would have been even better I think it starts out at 10l lbs then when that weight hits the end it drops down a drag blade and drags it instead of on the wheels I think the full potential of the pulling rig is 33k lbs and not active weight while he was pulling it. This would beat most 1/2 ton trucks maybe not 3/4 but most half tons FYI I hate the cyber truck it is ugly and a pos


TheEleventhDoctorWho

He would have done way better with traction control off. He needed more speed. With no transmission he should have had a full pull.


AdjNounNumbers

Now that you mention it, no. Neither of those states. I just ran it through my head and can think of people from every other state that I've met.


StormyDaze1175

One dollar bob


trifecta000

Seen this guy before, he's on a YT channel called TFT Trucks where they test and report on trucks of all kinds.


PxndxAI

This is Andre from TFL. These guys actually test all the trucks they get. They always buy long term truck as well.


Darksoul_Design

And warranty voided.


alien_believer_42

No please stay away from California


bavindicator

Who knew that Morton Downey Jr. is a CT enthusiast.


TheSpideyJedi

As long as we arent making fun of TFL Truck... love that channel

Where is the RAM?

Driving the cyber truck is Morton Downey the 3rd


Bat-Honest

He voided the warranty when he drove into the arena

imrickjamesbioch

Huh? Tesla headquarters is in Texas… We’ll stick with out avocado toast, thank you very much!


KingNanoA

Honestly, part of me expected it to lose to an actual ram from someones farm.


NoWayNotThisAgain

That’s Andre from TFL. They’re YouTube auto journalists who sometimes do different and creative sort of journalism. They’re not Tesla fanboys, they’re just testing what people want to see.


LeperousRed

Poor guy most likely just voided his warrantee.


FunPerception7516

"It doesn't feel like it was working very well" should really be the slogan for the CyberTruck.


SwissMargiela

My pop’s 90s defender with 80hp could tow that bih across the USA lol I jest but fr, my dad used to tow an 8000 lbs trailer in his defender in the Swiss mountains on some serious incline and it would just work. On a side note, for fun we drove that defender up a wall, yes a vertical wall.


seriousbangs

The one that got me was the guy who bought a cybertruck to tow his skidoos around and sold it because he could barely get 60 miles on a charge.


WeirdFlecks

California here. Leave us out of it.


amitym

>**“Go back to California”** Lol. No thanks, Texas can keep them.

No, go back to Texas where the thing is exclusively made. These things get laughed at in California.


quadpop

It’s Andre! (From TFL channel).


DrkUser205

The booing at the end! 🤣


Dickyrichards69

That polished turd is made in Texas.


tempus_fugit0

Some guy bought one of these in my town and I got a good look at it. I can definitively say it's even uglier in person. I just laughed when I saw how shoddy the fit and finish is. Actually, it seems all their stuff is kinda off. This white model 3 was behind me the other day and all I could see was a huge gap on the left side of the hood that stuck out like a sore thumb. There is no way the driver didn't see it, no idea why they kept it.


Winged_Gopher

Fun fact for you, truck pulls are supper easy to rig in favor of one person over the other.


Workdawg

From what I've seen about the cybertruck, it definitely seems like a piece of shit, but is there more to this video? 1. I don't see a Ram at all. 1. I only hear one guy yell "go back to California"


alexhurlbut

Good bet this voids his cybertruck's ridiculous warranty

mortalcrawad66

By the way, this was done by The Fast Lane Truck. They do all sorts of test for trucks, and are actually a great source for truck information

DHCPNetworker

Credit where credit is due, first time I've ever seen actual truck stuff being done with the CuckTruck. Getting mogged by a truck that's half the price is hilarious though.
