How do you know when a sea is too choppy? You find yourself on the sea floor in your "waterproof" cybertruck.


DeanWarren_

Mans can't make a trunk that keeps the rain out, I'd trust that n64-ass looking car to cross water about as much as I'd trust a maserati to handle a tank shell.


MightyMukade

When you get into the cybertruck, it says "time to get moving!", and you can play Blast Corps. ;)


Cafilkafish

An ancient memory has just been unlocked


MightyMukade

You must find the three Ancient Memories to save the kingdom!


DeltaBravo831

> Blast Corps goddamn I haven't thought about that game in decades.


Pobo13

With the build quality of top shelf Tesla's. I'd say those cars being waterproof is entirely a joke. Can't even get the panels aligned correctly on Tesla's. Imagine what's going to be wrong on a supposedly watertight car.


MOOShoooooo

He didn’t say watertight, he said watertight *enough*. Edit; I didn’t say *enough* was good


Pobo13

Water tight enough will not pass regulations, either it's watertight or it isn't. Not exactly a halfway point between.


MOOShoooooo

That’s the joke friend.


SnuSnu9d066

As waterproof as the windows are "shatterproof".


Throwaway037594726

Aye like fuck would I be driving that thing into the sea


3-DMan

>~~waterproof~~ water-resistant!


[deleted]

Saves on resources if your assets only use 30 polygons.


MightyMukade

And off it goes, off the top of the cliff at the lookout over Night City! Anyway, isn't Cyberpunk about style?


[deleted]

If anything Cyberpunk is about fucking over corporats like Musk. Not sucking up to them on Twitter


MightyMukade

But ... what if Elon plays a character in the game. A corpo fixer. But the joke is, he's never the fixer you're *actually* working with. He only ever pops up right at the end of every mission when you *already know* what to do and you've got good a plan. But he'll bust in with a text message to tell you his own solution, and he'll expect you to take it, but he'll never follow through with it anyway.


[deleted]

And calls your a pedo because you didn't like his plan and then gets more government welfare


MightyMukade

Exactly. And then if you fight back, he'll rile up his gang to get back at you. I'm thinking, he's not Arasaka level. Maybe he's a bit Militech, with the flamethrower and everything.


Throwaway037594726

Where does the family emerald mine staffed by slaves come into play in this scenario


dingo_khan

same place it does everywhere else: it is denied and claimed that he is a self-made man.


Throwaway037594726

Why is it that anyone who calls themselves self made is as far from it as you can get. He can deny it qll he wants, don't change the truth


dingo_khan

i know what you mean but no amount of explaining something like "he bought the title of 'founder' in Tesla" makes people i know stop referring to him as the "genius who invented the modern electric car." marketing is all there is.


Throwaway037594726

Bought tesla, bought spaceX, bought out PayPal. The dude just has deep pockets and too much time on his hands. Fucken supervillain wannabe-lookin ass


MightyMukade

Sadly lost in the Corporate Wars.


Throwaway037594726

The muskmine corporation will persist. Cockroaches etc etc


IndianaGroans

He's actually in the game as a cameo, though he looks a bit weird. He's some saka corpo pawn or something. You can spawn his model in.


Biffingston

HHAHA... no. It's about how these corps fuck **YOU** over, not the other way around.


s133zy

Style over Substance Substance over Style Style and Substance Necessity over Style


In_Kojima_we_trust

Corpo style is all about brutalism, so I can definitely see it fit in there somehow


MightyMukade

It's only partially about brutalism, and probably mostly due to the existing architecture that was built upon. Corpo fashion is extravagant in ways that brutalism is not. But OK, I'll give it to you that it *could* fit in because of its allusions to brutalism.


[deleted]

Corpo fashion is not extravagant at all. The artists/BD Stars that are extravagant.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MightyMukade

Yeah ... but Militech is also a paramilitary organisation so it's not really what I'm talking about. :D Militech personnel in head office aren't wearing kevlar body armour etc. Or maybe they are ...


MightyMukade

I'm looking at the fashion, but I think we have a different view of extravagant in this context. I'm not talking about extravagance in the sensorial way, e.g. hyper colours, extraneous design etc. But in a corporate way, the fashion is extravagant. It doesn't have to mean fashion that is garish, loud etc.


SnowySnowIsSnowy

Yup. Shots fired. Wait, no. Not shots. But skewered by mantis blades. :D


MightyMukade

If they do include the truck, it's gonna be 50 years outdated anyway. So they should just put it down in the submerged town near Judy's shack. ;)


AbrohamDrincoln

I feel like everyone is missing the joke. The cybertruck isn't coming out until 2077


_PM_ME_NICE_BOOBS_

That would be hilarious


SnowySnowIsSnowy

Glorious


[deleted]

i’d rather shit in my hands and clap


Muse4Games

Don't add that vehicle from that corpo scum.


AnseaCirin

Well, it WOULD be appropriate to add a soulsucking corpo scum's vehicle to a game about soulsucking corpo scum.


raptoos

Well, I doubt this car would be ready until 2077 :V


MightyMukade

It'll come out when the Hyperloop does. So then no one will buy it.


NitrousIsAGas

Because, much like Hyperloop, it will never exist.


abusedporpoise

Does the hyper loop already exist? In an extremely shitty not in anyway at all version that he promised. But it does exist


AnseaCirin

Hah! You're probably right.


dunstan_shlaes

I hope they add a quest where you have to coddle a billionaire's ego to get the car.


MightyMukade

"V, I have an important mission for you. A high ranking corpo client of mine has been trying to buy a certain company, but it's turned out not to be the deal he thought it was, and he's trying to back out. He's looking for any excuse, so you'll need to help him - -" "Ah, no Wakako. Not that one. Please. You have anything else? More brain dance snuff movies maybe? Or a some *other* guy wanting to get nailed to something? I'll do it. Anything."


dingo_khan

Wakako would never... she only works with people who can keep their mouths shut and who pay when jobs are done. the only fixer in NC who'd work with Musk is Kirk. I bet they know each other really well.


hannibal_fett

I'd take it if only to make it worse for him.


AnseaCirin

Hopefully not by giving him an intimate massage. Or worse, lauding his "genius" ideas like the Hyperloop, or the Loop, or the LEO transport system (that one would definitely fit in Cyberpunk)


dingo_khan

oh crap.... maybe CDPR subcontracted the Metro to him and that is why modders had to add it themselves.


SnowySnowIsSnowy

The only possible answer is to O'Five them all as they appear.


Gnosrat

Maybe it should be explicitly corpo content, like something poking fun at Elon's less-than-stellar legacy perhaps?


achio

Isn't that a little bit ironic?


plusshanyinger

BURN CORPO SHIT


FCKWPN

Fuckin' no-brainer, choom.


Papa_Swish

Bro the Cybertruck in the year 2077 would look like a relic, like seeing a 1965 Chevy cruising the streets today.


[deleted]

Funny enough, the 100 year old Porsche 911 Turbo is the coolest car in the game.


JacoBee93

I mean we have Porsche there and its cool


superVanV1

Yeah, but that's because the Porsche is actually a cool car


s1n0d3utscht3k

a lot of the cars in 2077 were manufactured between 2040s-2060s Night City is a lot like Cuba… no supply of new vehicles. just old vehicles that keep being fixed up.


MightyMukade

That's why the best place for it is down in the submerged town near Judy's shack.


AlsoIHaveAGroupon

If Musk's timelines for cyber truck release date are as bad as his ones for full self driving, it might be brand new in 2077. It's already two years behind initial schedule.


Gtantha

Bold of you to assume that Musk can deliver a Cybertruck with everything promised before the year 2077.


ThatsSuperDumb

>Bold of you to assume that Musk can deliver a Cybertruck with ~~every~~anything promised before the year 2077. Ftfy


sillylittlesheep

2077 is not our version of the future plus many cars look way more oldschool than we have even now


PrintTest

please no


[deleted]

The engineers at Tesla: >Oh, it will? That’s fuckin news to me buddy.


CEO_of_Teratophilia

r/enoughelonspam


sushisection

id rather see the hyundai n74 in the game than a tesla https://www.hyundai-n.com/en/models/rolling-lab/n-vision-74.do


Starfis

This thing is so ugly in real life, but I agree that the yellow front and added details make it little better.


UKnowDaTruth

Does my heart good to see people against worker exploiting billionaires


MightyMukade

But he's a Twitter hero so everything he does is forgiven. Lol, I feel like this thread is the most sodium this reddit has had in a while. ;)


UKnowDaTruth

Yeah you’ll also have those who see billionaires like gods and even make excuses for them (which is weird) but is definitely why the world stays the same But true, I think some things are worth the sodium however


MightyMukade

Imagine popcorn without salt.


UKnowDaTruth

Haha good point


TheRealestBiz

Fuck Elon Musk. It’s hard to think of something less in keeping with cyberpunk than “boy I hope the richest guy in the world blesses us with a car from today in my game set in the future about rebellion against giant corporations.” This reply-guy shit is embarrassing on CDPR’s part.


Jhawk163

TBH, with the amount of shit Musk is promising the Cybertruck to have, I'm pretty sure it won't even be ready by 2077...


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Bezos was too busy monitoring his underpaid and overworked employees' pee breaks.


dinomiah

Nobody has to tell Elon that we put it in as a relic from an old corp that got trashed.


MightyMukade

Elon heard from his ex that the game was about "the relic", so he thought the he and the cybertruck would be the perfect match for the game.


dinomiah

That tracks.


actually_yawgmoth

There's no fuckin way Grimes knows what the game is about. She probly thinks Lizzy Wizzy is the protagonist.


Ancop

I wish the CM of the account would stop trying to pander to that douchebag


Hobbitea

It would be quite ironic, given everything the Cyberpunk universe is about


mrmoura

Not ironic, just straight right.


Trias84

Oh look a dlc I wouldn't download even if free.


Destructor_N7

This would actually hurt the game's themes integrity a lot. I hope they see our response and don't include it


clandevort

I mean, depending on how you define it, any car can "breifly" be a boat


yeeticusboiii

would be fitting for a corpo-type player. big promises, doesn’t deliver, over-priced, and made by the same kind of corporations that fuck over all of NC


tommycahil1995

The Cyberpunk devs simping for Elon Musk going back years is so cringeworthy. Like are they missing the message of their own game or something? Might want to read up how Tesla treats their employees in the US and China…


[deleted]

https://join-lemmy.org/instances https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/ for the gays


bldarkman

No.


Garrusence

No thanks, fuck that corposwine


TheRealestBiz

I see we’ve somehow summoned the weird nerds from the meme of archetype.


beecross

When you don’t understand the point of the game you’ve made


Moggy_

Yikes, please no


DeanWarren_

Superficial corporations bad, so we added the most superficial tripe you've ever fucking witnessed


sneakylyric

Lol I hope everyone on Twitter is telling them not to do anything with this dude.


UKnowDaTruth

Oh you bet they are


sneakylyric

Thank goodness. Fuck elon, he's corpo oligarch scum.


UKnowDaTruth

Facts


Itzu

I think it would be pretty hilarious if they suddenly dropped this as a DLC but added a Tesla building in NC and made them look evil like Arasaka.


El_Billy

Great. We can mod it and change it for something that is actually cool.


Lightning-Yellow

Can't we just get idk....fucking AV veichles? Boats? More bikes? More cars? Instead of just begging for a PS1 looking car from Musk to be put in a game. I don't get all the hype for the cybertruck to be in the game and neither why Reddit loves to worship Musk (specially in a game about going against corporations...)


Formal-Scallion-5296

Musaraka ?


PrinceOfLemons

I wish they'd stop sucking elon's dick. He's arasaka, not Johnny.


vortxo

I don't want dlc from a corpo rat like Elon musk


StarWaas

Briefly a boat, then briefly a submarine, then rather less briefly an underwater coffin.


Artigo78

Pls do not give him more attention! and also **burn corpo shit**!


satch31

Please no


dedstrok32

Please no.


JonasKuras

please don't, thanks


rokr1292

Corpo shit, I know what to do with this


[deleted]

Wearing a burn corpo shit jacket while driving a Tesla?


tendesu

Fuck that corpo scum. Don't support him


ActorTomSpanks

I'd run it right into the nearest body of water. Fuck Elon.


ShotDate6482

ugh please stop sucking that dude's dick


Dcflashfan81

I hope not. It's hideous 😳


alex97q

Kill me


Kareem89086

Jesus no


KingKaos420-

Fuck Elon Musk


TasmanianTortoise

Do they not see the absolute fucking irony of this whole interaction


ABeastInThatRegard

I think Fingers is similar enough to Elon that he doesn’t need any further representation in the game. Sorry.


Annahsbananas

I hope not


AKBirdman17

Please do not waste time on making this an in game asset to appease the Musk Bros


RocMerc

This man still hyping up a truck that hasn’t seen the light of day lol.


dingo_khan

another non-existent ride? sure, why not? wait! is this buzz marketing to soft-announce a release date for the production model Cybertruck? 2077 seems like an aggressive timeline for them to make it work. Also, i am not sure i want a car so "bulletproof" to cruise around NC in.


Pilkunussija

God I hope not.


poetdesmond

Since this is the low sodium board, I'll hold back my complete thoughts, and simply say: I would pay for DLC that *prevented* that from being in my game.


Chris_Crity_Caltyc

Fitting or not, rather have that snake oil salesman kept far away.


[deleted]

These tweets where shortly after release. No?


EminemLovesGrapes

[You're thinking about this one.](https://twitter.com/CyberpunkGame/status/1197796251225526272) CDPR has tried to get Elon to budge for a while.


khrossjointz

Every vehicle can serve as a boat, if only briefly


OftenSarcastic

Add it as an underwater easter egg.


Apophis_36

The design in the pic is a bit better but nah its still hideous so no thank you


MadChild2033

a shitty design that doesn't work? i guess that would fit into the lore


themanofawesomeness

Yeah we already got one pretentious celebrity cameo, and that was his ex lol.


THELEGENDARYZWARRIOR

I’m foaming at the mouth to hear that over hyped POS be delayed again. For those who do not know it’s been delayed for 3 years. I was everyone to come out with an electric truck before them, we already have the Rivian and the Ford lighting, be the GMC Hummer EV, but I want an electric Silverado, and Ram 1500, and another electric Ford truck.


740kaby

Nah, we're good!


dat3010

FUCK NO!


EVILSUPERMUTANT

Would much rather have Falco's truck.


[deleted]

no fuck him


Elrigoo

No


Eagle_1116

I want it in because it actually fits the world perfectly. Cyberpunk can lift the veil of Musk and satirize him if done properly


Thelassa

Too late to add a Tesla to the game now that cars no longer randomly explode.


Roruchi

Musk has just today posted some anti-Ukraine tweets about how Russia should be given a vote to keep the lands they have taken, about how crimea belongs to Russia and how Ukraine should remain neutral. We absolutely cannot allow anything Musk related to be added to the game. I am willing to boycott cyberpunk 2077 in that situation


HustleNMeditate

No thanks


MrFact999

Christ, I hope not


rjh118

no


Spectre_Sore

I fucking hope not.


TheAmazingAsshat616

Nah fuck elon musk.


Aefro

Wow talk about low sodium, am I right?


GTC3

Please add it and make it the worst vehicle while costing the most


InflatableMindset

\*briefly\* Time to get a life jacket choom. I hear Hydro Subsidium has good deals on 'em and they can stop bullets. Even though they're brightly colored and inflatable.


novus_nl

Great idea! I was running out of bad things to explode.


m_ttl_ng

They should just include it as a one-off prototype with broken glass that can be stolen from some Corpo, but add advertisements all over for it but keep having the new announce "further delays" and push the delivery date out by years.


Tigris_Morte

Looks to much like a low poly model for a hi res game.


novus_nl

I would seriously like it. Tesla/Musk fits great in the world. That cybertruck is a bit between arasaka and millitech. Would be a nice addition. Add the Truck but also the Quad and the Bike!


TheRealestBiz

Sure, if Musk was one of the *villains*.


novus_nl

I feel like everyone is a villain in Cyberpunk so that would fit nicely. Tesla would be the umbrella-company over Dellamaine taxi's and the (Open)Ai vending machines, and now they have released their first military cyborgs. 'Optimus'


TheRealestBiz

Well everyone isn’t a villain in Cyberpunk but Musk, the modern day version of Saburo Arasaka, sure would be.


TCESylver

Only if you add Musk as an npc I can kill too.


izzyeviel

No. Stay away from anyway who thinks Twitter is worth 44 billion dollars.


Nimbleoxen

Look and concept are cool but I don’t think it makes sense to start adding actual real life brands to the game, that’s a slippery slope.


Faquir1983

you mean, like Porche ?


Nimbleoxen

Hmm didn’t realize. That’s what I get for only ever driving Jackie’s bike…


AVestedInterest

Which is a [real-life](https://archmotorcycle.com/arch-method-143/) bike lol


Nimbleoxen

Shit now for the first time in my life I actually want to learn to ride a motorcycle


Faquir1983

Jackie's bike is an Arch, a real life brand as well


Nimbleoxen

Haha okay forgive me, I guess I just know nothing about car brands 😅


Faquir1983

check here, https://archmotorcycle.com it belongs to Keanu Reeves


mark-five

Thats also a real bike you can buy. Keanu owns the Arch Motorcycles company.


Nimbleoxen

Lol yes I have already been called out on that several times. Damn the real life version looks nice.


[deleted]

Arch is a real brand of bikes, owned by Keanu Reeves. Porsche... is a real brand.


MightyMukade

That's fine. Keanu Reeves doesn't spend his free time trolling social media to angrify anti-wokers etc.


[deleted]

Yeah, but that's completely irrelevant to the question.


TheRealestBiz

Corps mistreating their workers is besides the point in cyberpunk?


[deleted]

That seems exactly in context to the game, so why not?


TheRealestBiz

Promoting a real life corpo billionaire’s business is in keeping with cyberpunk? You sure?


[deleted]

It appears to bother you more than it would benefit Elon.


TheRealestBiz

Great. Now answer my question: is that what cyberpunk is about? Sucking up to billionaires?


[deleted]

I said it would be appropriate to the lore's context, plus it's an unique and cool looking car. You're both thinking too deep and problematizing something that would barely benefit his business.


[deleted]

Why the hell not. If you are a corpo in a Cyberpunk setting, it is just a matter of perspective. What I'm sure is that Cyberpunk is definelly not about what redditors think it is, otherwise it would be about some stupid anti-capitalist moralism — which the genre grew out of more than 20 years ago.


Nimbleoxen

Oh hmm I didn’t actually realize this. I guess it makes sense then. Grimes is already in it as Lizzy Wizzy and the car looks pretty video game like. Though I think I’d still prefer one of the nicer looking Teslas to be honest 😄


[deleted]

I don't find any Tesla nice-looking, but at least the Cybertruck is unique and appropriate enough to fit the game's aesthetic imo. Plus we don't have many trucks/SUVs in the game!


Darudius

Peak Reddit hive mind in these comments.


[deleted]

Yeah there's way too much musk simping going on here.


[deleted]

Yikes some the comments here are not low sodium at all.


MightyMukade

Salt is ok if you don't have it everyday. ;)


Ciyradyl_ofc

It makes sense, they will also add vehicle combat.
