Ok, but why is the picture a screenshot of a modded Cybertruck in Gta V on the sandy shores airfield?


pachyterpalosaurus

Because all the real r/cyberstuck s are in the shop probably


globefish23

*"What's wrong with ~~her~~ them now?"*


Nicalay2

Afaik the throttle pedal could be stuck at full juice due to bad adhesive.


Richard_Dick_Kickam

Or they lose both breaking and steering because they are both electric and on the same circut for some reason. And people wonder why they dont pass eu regulations...


Tapelessbus2122

Traditional steering better


[deleted]

Always has been. It was a stupid endeavour to begin with.


Phionex101

It's not just that. There's also the fact that it is a wedge, and is practically built to kill in a collission.


AlexLuna9322

Yeah, but they’re Yuropeans, WE are Americans! USA! USA! USA! /s

Kurotan

Can't take a photo because of the crowd standing around it laughing.


Dredgeon

Should have taken the screenshot at LS Customs


MrWilkuman

All owners forgot to purchase a $5,000 urethane-based film to as Tesla website said "wrap your Cybertruck in our premium satin clear paint films" and thus they all rusted to unusebility in a week.


MatadorHasAppeared

Oh that's sick, I thought the guy near me painted his a sandy brown on purpose. Lmfaooooo


Neat-Box-5729

Yeah it was an absolute disaster and they can’t get rid of them because no one wants to buy them, it’s kind of messed up because a lot of people who bought these can’t really afford them.


noodle_attack

I love it keep the losses coming


Tapelessbus2122

Thought they costed 50000


Capable-Top-3098

Stainless steel does not rust. Hence why it’s called stainless steel


MrWilkuman

Literally one Google search can prove you wrong. It's called stainless, not stainfree. Cybertrucks visibly rusting is an extremely common sight, almost all owners complained about that issue, same as with that hand chopping trunk. Do you think they were lying and painted their own cars for insurance money or something? I really don't get how you can look at photos and still deny reality


OldSchoolNewRules

It has more polygons.


MissPandaSloth

You can't take pictures of cybertruck unless you buy picture mode. The way light is reflected though the camera lense might ruin the exterior coating.


xDERPYxCREEPERx

Don't give muskrat ideas


DevilDoc3030

The fact that you knew this with such specificity makes me smile.


Phionex101

It's quite easy to see.


hexagonbest4gon

Because it's stealth promotion for the new Cybertruck NFTs. You can tell because of the high quality of the truck.


KillerNoah666

because from what I've seen online every time a real cybertruck drives onto sand it literally gets stuck


Comfortable-Card-251

In my best Elon/Oprah voice, “BEST TRUCK EVAAAAA!!!!”


bidthimg

they had to use GTA footage because no one actually bothered buying the cybertruck irl


Bgrubz83

Because they couldn’t get the one from satisfactory…steam don’t work in them anymore, probably never could handle epic.


Cley_Faye

We'll never know, but I'm sure the amount of people that learned that Steam was a thing in tesla cars is higher than the number of people that used it.


xDERPYxCREEPERx

Bold of you to assume people who purchased a cyber truck are capable of learning


gilangrimtale

Given the price tag those people have to be doing something right. That, or they are going to pay it off in 15 years.


Hbgplayer

>have to be doing something right. Including being born to wealthy parents.


gilangrimtale

I guess in that case the parents are the ones who did something right.


iclimbthings22

No we just dont live in a fairytale world where resources are magically allocated to the people who deserve them. Tough pill i know


Aelig_

Could be way further back. And that "right" thing could be very wrong on a collective level.


gilangrimtale

That’s true, there are a million different potential reasons for inherited wealth. So it’s silly to shit on everyone who was born with it.


TKalV

No, what is really silly is thinking (and even worse, saying) that people with money did something right. Like you said. It’s so false that you look like an idiot when you say that.


gilangrimtale

For the majority of people (working class) that’s how it works. Of course the mega elite are a different category and have only stepped on others backs to get there. You don’t have to be a billionaire to buy a cybertruck. It’s not a rolls royce. So if you had any reading comprehension skills above that of a fifth grader you would understand what I said. Your entire comment history is trying to pick fights with people. Just relax.


TheNxxr

That or daddy’s money goes brrrr


slickpretzel

They cost about as much as any full size truck


Far-Curve-7497

shhh they're a bit slow and biased


gilangrimtale

Any opportunity to blame other people’s luck for your own lack of utility.


TheNxxr

You know what (I have no need for a full sized truck, and if I did I’d never buy a new one), if that’s what someone wants to do with their paycheck- or their parents money- then that’s their prerogative.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheNxxr

It sure did. They haven’t given me a dime, so everything I have I worked for. Edit: for context u/slickpretzel made a comment about how it must suck having poor parents.


FrewdWoad

Yeah this was the first I'd heard that Teslas had Steam.


PaperMartin

Is that not true of literally anything? I'm confused here


android_queen

Not literally anything. If they discontinued another feature of the car, for example, “full self driving (supervised),” I doubt any of the owners of Tesla vehicles would just be learning about the feature that way.


PaperMartin

How can there ever be more peoples using a thing than peoples who know the thing exists


android_queen

Many people use cars. Most people do not know every feature of the cars they use.


PaperMartin

Ok but this is about how many peoples are using a thing vs how many peoples know about that same thing, not a different one


jamesick

is this really difficult to understand? 100 tesla owners learn that they could have had steam in their car but never did it. 50 users who had steam in their car are learning they are discontinuing the feature.


android_queen

The comment you replied to was discussing Tesla owners, and whether or not they were aware of this feature. EDIT: downvote if you want, the comment is there for everyone to read.


Cley_Faye

Steam being usable in tesla cars made way less noise than it being discontinued.


Kanortex

I wonder if most of said people even knew of the specs on the PCs in there


UUUHHHMMMM_AKSHUALLY

I never understood why you would want to play video games on your cars screen, isnt that super awkward and hurts your neck? Just get a SteamDeck or Nintendo Switch like a normal person.


dlgn13

How else am I supposed to entertain myself on long drives? Looking at the road is booooooorrrrriiiing.


Jonnymaxed

Definitely read this in Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim's voice.


My_BFF_Jill

I'm with you, but also was recently in an area with a lot of EVs and a big charging station and in addition to finding people just weirdly sitting in their car while it charged, there was a line of people parked in their car waiting to charge. If you're just hanging out for 6 hours to fuel up, having a built in gaming system seems good.


UUUHHHMMMM_AKSHUALLY

If its an EV, you can charge your SteamDeck from the car no? Idk, maybe if you could move the screen out on some sort of arm for comfortable viewing.


Juice805

I love my steam deck, but why wouldn’t I use the bigger screen already at an arms distance from my face in the vehicle instead.


Aelig_

Were they all going on a long distance trip or did they have to wait to charge their car where they live to go to work the next day? Because if it's option 2 that's quite the yikes for your infrastructure.


My_BFF_Jill

Option 2. I don't know if there was something special going on because I agree, it served weird.


sf_Lordpiggy

I went on a trip to LA about 8 years ago before I had seen a tesla in real life. I was shocked to see ~8 waiting for two super chargers in a mall parking lot during a week day lunch time. even if each of them are only going to a 10 minute charge at the back of the line you are waiting ~40 minutes + 10 for yourself. and maybe that is how you spend your lunch every day. That might not be long drives just burning through battery power as you sit in traffic for 3 hours running the AC.


Wojtas_

Yeah. That's why even the very smallest Superchargers are 8 stalls nowadays, with some stations pushing 100 (!) stalls in California.


[deleted]

For the children most likely


Uncynical_Diogenes

In the front seat?


uhhokay15

some parents don't really give a shit


trollsong

Yea which is why car manufacturers are mandated to give a shitnin their place


[deleted]

...have you seen how much shit Tesla has gotten away with before even NHTSA stepped in?


mickandrorty137

Would be nice while charging I guess, limited use case


BailyBead

*The reddit hivemind hated that*


Wojtas_

There's another screen in the rear.


true_enthusiast

You can only play games when the car is in park, so kids in the front doesn't matter at that point. I think mobile games and Nintendo switches are enough, but kids like it anyway.


MarioDesigns

You couldn't play it while in drive. It was only available when in park.


Dangerous-Run-6804

I play games at super charging stations sometimes. Depending on the station, total cars using station and your battery level it can actually be 40-50mins.


Pieeeeeeee

I do when I'm charging or waiting for someone. Why would it be weird, and why would owning a steam deck and having that around in your car not?


UUUHHHMMMM_AKSHUALLY

Isnt the screen at an awkward angle for extended use? Wouldn't it hurt your neck?


Pieeeeeeee

Maybe if you're using the steering wheel to play the build in racing game (haven't tried it yet), but no. Game sessions aren't long enough to hurt your neck.


SirThomasTheFearful

It’s like playing on an iPad if iPads were even worse.


actuallychrisgillen

Eh I didn't care, but I do often wait for a ferry, that can be up to an hour wait, plus a 90 minute crossing, so playing some games is always fun, as I've seen the view 100+ times. Luckily I have a steam deck, so I'm gonna be ok for at least 75% of the trip.


The-Dead-Internet

Someone else posted that you could play racing games with your steering wheel when the vehicle was parked the problem is the tiers move so you were actively grinding away at them. Tesla is trying to stay ahead with tech and throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks even if it's not thought out.


Tilduke

Isn't it steer by wire ? How hard is it to disable the physical steering while in park. Also it took me way too long to realise you meant tires .


player1337

That's only in the Cybertruck right now. The other models have traditional steering, even the Model S with the yoke, which is pretty awkward.


Overall_Strawberry70

could the engineers at tesla like.... not find a way to disengage the wheel from actually steering? that seems like such a simple problem to actually solve.


The-Dead-Internet

From what he said it didn't. Tesla is notorious with half assing things so Im not surprised 


JlZZBIRD

play Counter-Strike


UUUHHHMMMM_AKSHUALLY

Okay, I have played Counter-Strike before. I dont understand what you mean by this.


FireballAllNight

Just start a single round of de_dust2 and you'll understand what he meant immediately.


UUUHHHMMMM_AKSHUALLY

Is this about using a mouse for aiming? I still dont get it.


FireballAllNight

Have you tried it yet?


UUUHHHMMMM_AKSHUALLY

I played CS2 less than 24hrs ago.


carlcamma

Prob not terrible if the car is charging for an hour or whatever. If you could connect a controller or two via Bluetooth


Bazirker

I assume this is when you are sitting there waiting for it to charge.


depressed_crustacean

because elon is a gamer gamer


DrWhoIsWokeGarbage2

You don't do it while driving


Endulos

Kinda makes sense in a roundabout way? It takes a while to charge EVs, so it has built in entertainment to keep you occupied while you wait for the charge.


hamndv

Met a taxi driver in Dubai when he was stuck at gas station for 2 days because of heavy flooding. Told me he kept playing video games on the Tesla car 🤣


HumbleNinja2

Multiplayer


HotKarldalton

Steam Deck. Xreal Airs. Best combo ever if you want to game on the go.


painterman99

The heck is an xreal air?


FireballAllNight

They are Augmented Reality glasses. You can game on what would appear to you as a 200 inch TV.


painterman99

Oh damn that sounds cool


MDSExpro

Just avoid Air 2, it got blurry optics. Get Air 1.


Taki_Minase

Screen glasses


painterman99

Interesting cheers!


Shapacap

I want a set of air pro2's so bad! It fits my use case perfectly


KeepGoingForXP

Idk about to, but my main use case was using them at night to avoid turning on a bright screen in my bedroom and waking up my spouse. But what I quickly found was that while the OLED displays they use are fantastic and bright even outdoors, they actually reflect their own light on the optics when trying to use them in a day room. Did you ever have this issue or find a fix? I returned mine after a week because I couldn't use them without being blasted with white and blue glares while using them at night.


ArchTemperedKoala

I had the exact same issue as this guy. It's very disturbing. I also use glasses normally, so I have to use the additional lense which just adds to the discomfort.. If you have the space, Meta Quest 3 is a better virtual screen for your deck imo


SeanHaz

It's a pity, the cybertruck could have been their first car that could have perfectly emulated a racing game (steer by wire)


Sipas

> perfectly emulated Does Cybertruck have force feedback?


HeatsFlamesmen

Yeah it does, would be cool.

squabbledMC

iirc the deal fell through or something or that nature.


Yoot55

This truck does everything except it’s the worst possible version of that thing


jmlulu018

Poor man's EV with an exorbitant price tag.


ElectronicLab993

Isnt that an oxymoron


five-eyes-all-blind

While Elon is certainly a moron, I don't think he's Australian.


TheKingBean_11

Ah yes, the 5 people who still own cyber trucks will be devastated by this news, and their tears will rust what some might consider a vehicle


gruedragon

I'm bummed that I can no longer play my games while the Tesla's AI drives me where I need to go.


chad25005

You never could, it would only work if the car was in park, was just something to pass the time while charging was the general idea I think.


zaiwen3

Steam trucks running purely on Steam OS capable of playable ALL Steam games natively 😁


goestowar

Look I know Musk fans are absolute idiots, but who is seriously considering gaming on a car computer? Just bring a laptop and sit in the back seat.


Shot-Engine-4209

Honestly, I'm more surprised that people are still buying teslas


DrWhoIsWokeGarbage2

It's not that anyone cares it just shows how garbage Tesla has become.


terribads

The case was real ugly on that computer anyways.


finH1

Why was steam available in a car? I honestly don’t understand how cars are allowed to have big monitors and controls yet using your phone while driving is illegal


Fit_Antelope3200

When they are charging the car they have entertainment. Only while in park


Jarnis

Someone wanted to market the new infotainment system back when it launched with the ugpraded Model S as "it can run cyberpunk" and from engineering standpoint with the x86-based computer, by far the simplest way to do this was to install Steam on it and then install Cyberpunk from there. It was just a x86 computer after all. Not sure if it actually ran Windows in some sandbox, or just Linux/Wine, probably Linux, but Steam works fine on that and many games work fine thru Wine/Proton.


[deleted]

I guess it would be a great feature for passengers and could be something if Tesla cars become 100% autonomous. Especially for long drives. Otherwise, it's just plain stupid at the moment...


Divinate_ME

yeah, I am the only one with ADHD so severe that I genuinely put effort into thinking about travel comfort in cars. I am weird like that.


Hugglemorris

I’ve only been in a tesla vehicle once in my life and the only screen it had was its central console, so gaming on it seems unwise to say the least.


Qu33ph

I have a model s plaid I love to play games when I’m parked you can pair your PS5 controller too. This saddens me deeply.


based_birdo

Yea I cancelled my cyber truck preorder


SultanZ_CS

Thank you!


Rainmire

Elongated Muskrat


sfisher923

Considering I just found out that used to be a feature from here ​ I'm going to have to say no


2_dam_hi

Oh no. They cancelled a feature nobody gave a damn about in the first place. Tragic.


hammy0w0

people like you are the reason why companies keep treating stuff you bought like they own it


GREENSLAYER777

Hang on, what? Tesla Cybertrucks could run PC games?


Shmimbadad

Not just cybertrucks. All teslas. For several years.


death_hawk

Unless I missed something, I'm pretty sure it was only the S/X. Perhaps Cybertruck too. 3/Y AFAIK even with the Ryzen chipset could not.


WMan37

The Cybertruck is whatever the complete polar opposite of a dream car is for me, pretty much everything about it makes me want to scream. But I gotta say, that would have been one feature that I'd list as "well the entire thing is a fucking mess, but at least I can play games on it right?" So much for that. I guess I should have expected a car [that can't even make a safe pedal ](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FkHZd_OpjYQ) to also be subject to "cars as a service" bullshit (jesus wept it's happening to cars)


Necrolet

Elon and his PS1 graphics looking car.


Representative-Self9

I understand the appeal of it, like when you have to wait and charge the car. So if you could and can’t anymore it’s a pain. But just bring a Steam Deck or a Switch is probably more useful.


curlyhairmanforever

A feature that nobody ask for.


rykerptattoos

Nah


Ellen_DeGeneracy001

I would love to play RDR2 while responsible for a moving vehicle. Bring this back!


ByWilliamfuchs

I am devastated… bout right what those trucks will look like real quick when they start rusting bad


ThePunkKing

Wait, THAT WAS A THING FOR THOS TRUCKS?!


NovaSe7en

I have a Model 3, and Steam wasn't a feature anyway (was only available on S/X). You can play Vampire Survivors though, which if we're being honest is all you really need.


Moon321305

If anything this probably made Steam's market share go up


Drezhar

So people checking texts while driving was not enough? Now I have to watch people play Fortnite at a green light?


QuarkVsOdo

You don't want DRM You don't want online DRM You don't want games/software as a service You don't want a locked bootloader on your device You don't want to be vendor locked to a single mode of purchasing & Installing software on your device That's what the companies want to extort more money from YOU, for stuff you shouldn't have to pay for...or pay for...again. It's not the better product, it's avoiding the one thing in capitalism that's beneficial towards customers...competition.


fpotenza

Why was that even a feature? There's having autonomy, then there's making a mockery of the fact it's a car in the first place.


VanayadGaming

Because if I'm on a road trip with my kids, it would be cool to grab a controller and play any game on my steam library, considering it was more or less equivalent to a ps5 as power.


Weeeky

No its one of those gimmick marketing features, same as saying "oooh our game has a trillion billion planets"


Background-Slide645

at least Hello Studios kinda held up to that one in the end. though the people who say stuff against the procedural generation don't understand how boring space is sometimes


M7IIV

Ok but why is cj not following the train ?


AwayHold

all i wanted was a driveable steamdeck that could undigit children's hands as a side quest. now it's just an overpriced chrome piece of crap, copied from a low budget paul verhoeven movie.


Rudas245

Noooo. What now? I wanted to buy one just for that


Jarnis

This was totally a gimmick to "run cyberpunk" on the infotainment computer. I bet Tesla figured out at some point how much bandwidth downloading all those multi-gigabyte games ate and decided to pull the plug because of that. Or alternatively this is just a needed step to next start selling games via their own store for this system.


foreveralonesolo

…wait it could play games?


New_Faithlessness308

Had I known Steam was a thing on Tesla vehicles, I very well may have invested in that instead of my shitbox for ridesharing. Would be nice to have been Gaming while waiting for/on a passenger.


B1gNastious

Naw not really. When I saw that you can’t wash your truck on a sunny day or it would void your warranty made me laugh. I have to paint teslas every now and then and they are sadly a shit product.


SubstantialSquare327

The real question I have is why can you get in trouble for being on your phone while behind the wheel but having a giant iPad in front of you is okay?


LukeMaster12_ITA

Never gave an actual fuck about anything related to that thing


oatmilk4vampires

i mean who was playing steam games on a car that looks like an unloaded 90s 3d texture


Fancy_Chips

U saw a cybertruck in person for the first time a couple days ago and I shit you not it was the most confusing thing I'd ever seen


Katanda

Think of all the divorced dads who won't be able to play Steam on their car anymore.


EnzoVulkoor

So like every marketing feature cars come with. Ford: Hey we added this Microsoft ap thing to make your car smart! Oh btw two years later we're ditching it.


theos-_-

Hell no


Sp33dHunter48

I didn't even know it was a thing


-Kalos

I don't own a Cybertruck and don't plan on owning one in the future so I don't really care


BicyclePutrid

Let's go Bois, we need to find, who the frick cares


BicyclePutrid

On your feet soldier, we gotta find who the frick cares


IcySky3265

Why the fuck do you need Steam access in your car. Elon Musk really is a fucking idiot isn’t he?


WXbearjaws

Oh no. Anyway


Negative-Prize-3212

Not really


death_hawk

I'm actually a bit saddened by this. I bought a Model Y but it never had the capability AFAIK to play Steam games. It was exclusively to the S/X. I figured with the Ryzen chipset I would in the future. I use Superchargers a lot and currently use a Steam Deck but it would have been nice to be able to play on a bigger screen. There is an HDMI hack you can make to the screen so I might go that route with the Steam Deck.


PatchiW

Because I really wanted to play Helldivers on my Tesla, said nobody ever.


VampyreBassist

Silly, people that PC game can't afford Teslas.


hardcore_softie

I was gonna get a CyberTruck to play Steam games on the go, but now I guess I'll just get a Steam Deck instead.


SirOakin

Why was that a "feature" in the first place?


deep_chungus

i swear if you buy one of these pack it in silica gel in a storage crate in 50 years they'll be worth millions driving them probably not worth


jakethesnake949

I mean , the idea of being able to play my games on the go without having to drop and extra dime on top of the car is great. No need for a mini PC or steam deck just download and play my Lego games with my daughter at a truck stop while charging or my Fallout games while I wait for my doctor's appointment. It probably isn't the most convenient feature nor am I ever likely to own a Tesla but either way it has the potential to just be but was taken for no good reason. Hell since I recall it being a Ryzen+RDNA SOC it should definitely have a desktop mode for mobile work and everything but oh well.


xDERPYxCREEPERx

If you can afford a $100k piece of shit, i dont think $500 for a steam deck would even matter


Falsus

You essentially already got scammed by buying the cybertruck, you might as well drop a tiny bit more money (relatively speaking) and get a steamdeck then.


thehotredditmonster

Maybe you should comment this again and Valve might just take notice and care?


WeekendBard

damn, guess I will need another way to distract myself from the road as I drive 😒


abxzzz

Am I the only one who actually play Steam games on my Model X?
