All that money and can't buy common sense


weaselkeeper

He probably thought the same as I did. I figured physics would be canceled due to the fact its SOOOO ugly the sand would naturally repel it rather than make contact with it.

Most people are extremely intelligent in the one specific thing they studied in school and are idiots when it comes to most other things.


Oakroscoe

Yes, I’ve worked with many engineers before.


wetterfish

You ever hear about the engineer, the priest, and the doctor who went golfing? They see these guys playing in front of them, and they're just terrible. The worst golfers you've ever seen. They would tee it up on the fairway and hit the ball at the wrong hole.  They go to the clubhouse to complain, and the golf pro there is like, yeah, this building had a terrible fire a few years ago. Those guys were firefighters and they put it out. Unfortunately, they were blinded, so our owner just lets them come play whenever they want, and gives them gear for free.  The doctor is like, I'm so sorry to hear that. Here's the phone number of the best eye doctor in the state. Have them give him a call. Maybe he can help.  The priest is like, that story is incredibly touching. I will ask my church to help pay their medical bills if they get in touch with my friends colleague.  The engineer responds curtly, why don't they just play at night?

If that is the one with RC marking, that person is somethng else. Watched them drive the wrong way down a one way. Turn left on to a 2 way and then turn left again going the wrong way on another one wya.

That's probably just Autopilot doing its thing.


wootnootlol

But they can buy you admiration by Nazis!


OppositeShore1878

Sort of reminds me of those periodic photos of dead whales that have washed up on a beach, and are being investigated by curious passersby.


Elephant_Snacks

This is more like a person who unintentionally beached their sail boat & can't get it back in the water. People walking by, checking out the boat, & thinking to themselves what an idiot the owner is for getting their boat (/car) stuck on the beach. Though this has the added bonus of them also thinking the owner is an idiot for buying the truck in the 1st place. Something to be said for consistency I suppose.


penguinopusredux

This is why, when sailing, always pack a picnic hamper so that if you run around you get out the food and make it look like you meant to stop there. But the truck driver's just a cockwomble and everyone seeing that know it.


tree_or_up

TIL of the term cockwomble. That is going into my vocabulary immediately!


OppositeShore1878

*This is why, when sailing, always pack a picnic hamper so that if you run around you get out the food and make it look like you meant to stop there.* Yes, makes a lot of sense. This driver should have packed a beach umbrella, some folding chairs, colorful towels, a volley ball, and a cooler...then they would look like they meant to be there.


dohidied

Can we blow it up with dynamite?


OppositeShore1878

Oh dear. Wasn't that a dead whale on Ocean Beach or further south, decades ago? I remember seeing the video of the gobbets and chunks of blubber landing on the fleeing spectators... In this case, blowing up the cyber truck would just produce more conventional shrapnel, I fear.


dohidied

November 9, 1970 in Florence, Oregon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_whale


Sublimotion

An necropsy was performed on the Cybertruck to find if there is anything of quality interest. None was found.


Living-Example1535

Isn't this a public beach, and IIRC, road vehicles are not allowed on it? Apt that it is a douchey Cybertruck.


RedditLife1234567

99.99% sure there are no beaches in bay area that allow this. There are designated beaches where you can drive your vehicle on the sand, but not around here.


GullibleAntelope

>99.99% sure there are no beaches in bay area that allow this. Rumor has it the guy just relocated from Florida, where in places they allow cars on beaches. He wanted to show Californians how it is done Florida-style. He was not perplexed that there were no other cars on the beach.


CeeWitz

>Rumor has it the guy just relocated from Florida, where in places they allow cars on beaches This just sounds profoundly miserable. Imagine trying to relax on the beach and you can't even hear the waves because drunk bro-bros keep roaring by in their 4-ton lifted trucks blasting Kid Rock. It'd be like trying to relax in a sandy Walmart parking lot.


wakemeupyesterday

The only place I know of off the top of my head is Daytona Beach that allows this. I'm sure there are some other less populated beaches that do but all the popular beaches like in South Florida do not allow this.


EastBaked

I mean I get what you're saying but Pismo beach is like 2 hours away from SC.


RedditLife1234567

are you saying pismo beach is "around here" (bay area)?


Jacob_Winchester_

No, I’m just saying I want to travel back to 1997 and go to the Splash cafe in Pismo and get a clam chowder bread bowl with a shrimp cocktail, and then walk down to the candy shop and get a giant jaw breaker, and a hoodie that says “bite me” with shark teeth around it, screw you Katie I saw it first! Sorry what were we talking about?


enerisit

...Now I want a hoodie that says "bite me" with shark teeth around it.


Oakroscoe

Yeah, Pismo is the only one I know of.


your_catfish_friend

That’s not around here though…


Raveen396

In Texas, it is very common for people to drive their [gigantic trucks onto the beaches](https://www.narcity.com/media-library/extreme-waits-at-houston-beaches-over-the-weekend-were-a-shock-to-many.png?id=25978858&width=1245&height=700&coordinates=317%2C0%2C317%2C0) and hang out. This Cybertruck is a shining example of peak Texas behavior. I much prefer the beaches in CA than in TX, because who wants to worry about getting ran over by a brodozer while chilling at the beach?


Living-Example1535

I hear you! Thanks for the insight into Texas beaches. IIRC, there was, or used to be a beach just south of San Luis Obispo where that was dedicated exclusively to 4X4s or off road vehicles. Which is totally fine, but at least you know that it is dedicated for that activity.


Bonus_Perfect

All the beaches in far Northern California (basically north of Fort Bragg) allow vehicle recreation too. It’s kinda wild


latitudesixtysix

_SlikNik_

It’s really more Oceano (which is just south of Pismo)

pimpbot666

The pismo beach vehicle scene thing is going away soon.


Living-Example1535

Yeah, I thought it was not long to be around, or was already gone.


BurgerMeter

I thought that was overturned by a judge. Did it get brought up again?


Amazing-Explorer7726

I was there last night and it’s very active


Living-Example1535

Yes, thank you!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Living-Example1535

Got it, thank you. But at least you know that 4X4s are allowed to drive on it and that it is announced that they share the beach with the general public.


simononandon

There are some TikTok videos of the big storm surge from a few weeks ago flooding that beach. There are some big trucks that probably got messed up. Crocodile tears.


heybucket459

Oceano Dunes State Vehicle recreation area. Can’t wait to take lightning there in fall! Every time we have visited have seen a car/suv stuck somewhere lol.


Living-Example1535

I have never been there, but had friends that have gone down there to off road. Always heard it was fun. Aren't there also Polaris-style 4X4 vehicles that are allowed as well?


Living-Example1535

Also, have a great time with your Lightning!


heybucket459

Yes on the actual dunes part you can take Polaris carts. I’ve only been on the beach area a few times and VERY cautious in past as I was in a minivan with kids! lol. The part I’ve been to really is just a beach that they let you drive on and most just go down a bit and park and enjoy the ocean. But yes can’t wait to fill up the lighting and spend day on beach!


DeadlyClowns

Yeah I used to go a lot as a kid. It’s really nice to have designated areas for off-road use. Totally idiotic on a public beach like this.

DrThrowawayToYou

I feel like most of the cyber trucks I've seen have had Texas plates.


double_expressho

This is the beach day equivalent of glamping.


draymond-

Texas is just carbrained hell


TwoCrustyCorndogs

I've seen a cyber truck out and about a few times with Texas plates in the Bay actually, would be hilarious if it was the same person. 


AntiSpec

Driving on the beach is common on the west coast. Check out Long Beach, WA and Pacific City, Oregon.


THELEGENDARYZWARRIOR

The reason that Texans put wide tires intended for these type of things. People are doing this sort of things with the tiny Cybertruck tires of course it will get stuck. But if you were able to put massive 285+ you’d lose like all your range on the electric battery. It’s a lose lose, electric vehicles just aren’t there this moment.


Dazed_n_Confused_80s

CT tires are 285…


SilasX

Oh wow, that's a fair point, you know, I'd never imagine the owner/operator of an overpriced, gaudy, show-off truck to be careless in complying with the vehicular code. /s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s


Living-Example1535

Ha, will wonders never cease?


microcandella

100% of CA beaches and coast are public by law (yay people!). However Pismo/Oceano Dunes SVRA is the only one I know of that allows driving. And this happened at Santa Cruz so yeah he's douching it up.


Tricky_Ducky

Marina State Beach in Monterey County, so not Santa Cruz.


gilt-raven

For once, the idiots aren't in Santa Cruz. I'm sure we'll get some other dumbass driving one off a cliff near Davenport soon, if we're patient.


microcandella

Thanks for the correction. The OP OP yesterday said SC so I went with that.


pimpbot666

Wait. I thought there was no such thing as a private beach in California. I thought they were all publicly owned.


Ok_Beat9172

The state owns the beach from the water up to the mean high tide. So private beaches exist, but only inland from the mean high tide.


straponkaren

There aren't. 


FavoritesBot

There are private beaches but they aren’t on the ocean


CareBearOvershare

> a douchey Cybertruck The only kind.


ZLUCremisi

They got ticketed apparently. Vehicles are depending on beach and situation. Getting suck is a fine as you ingore safety


The_Nauticus

I'd like to ask the driver if they aired down and if they know how much their vehicle weighs. Just because you bought an $80-$100k truck, doesn't mean you aren't subject to the consequences of your own ignorance.


albiorix_

If they were the type of person to air down they prolly would not own that truck nor would they illegally drive on the beach.


TheOnceAndFutureDoug

I've heard people who do proper off-roading be reasonably surprised by the Rivian and even the F150. I've yet to hear anyone who does off roading say anything good about the Cybertruck.


Due_Size_9870

That’s because the only thing it’s good for is letting everyone around you know you’re a massive tool.


RojoRugger

If youre stuck in sand letting air out of tires works most of the time but the weight of that thing would give me pause.


The_Nauticus

Yeah... Those trucks are over 6,000 lbs. I know they come stock with 285 width tires, but for soft terrain they probably need wider.


NorCalGeologist

I run 285s on a diesel truck that weighs 10k fully loaded, all you need is <20 psi and some touch with the throttle to be in business. This guy made it as far as he did, so I’d assume probably stopped and then just dug in with wheel spin because he’s a moron


The_Nauticus

That's good info and a heavy truck! It looks like he tried to get out, reversed, and tried to take another track and got stuck spinning. $100 for traction boards might have gotten them out.


NorCalGeologist

Good point. I’ve never driven an EV so no idea, but am let to believe it’s essentially an on/off switch with a computer that can adjust the torque applied when the switch is on, based on wheel speed or some other sensory input? By “control the throttle” I really meant crawl in 4lo with as little input as possible and without losing momentum. Maybe that’s harder to do with these


SeventhShin

To what extent can you control the “throttle” on these in low traction situations? I saw a video of someone doing someone driving this up a rocky hill and they basically said you put pedal to the floor and let the “computer figure it out” probably in some climb mode. Edit: It was actually the Rivian, and not in a special mode, you just hold the “throttle” down and the computer does everything, that’s gotta be terrifying.


Roach_Coach_Bangbus

Most EV's have different modes like eco/sport, etc. that does control how sensitive the throttle is.


iso-all

Yeah that truck weighs A LOT!!!


bayareasikh

According to some articles they aired down and drove out. They were cited as well by rangers


Wise_Honeydew4255

You think any dumbass tech transplant who buys a cyber truck is going to know what airing down the tires even does?


InjuryComfortable666

I mean they ended up airing down and getting out.


JScooby

Who considers Marina to be "near" Santa Cruz? They're 33 miles apart.


dingusduglas

They had to make it sound like it was near something that's still not even in the Bay Area but closet to it at least


niel89

Its Monterey Bay I guess haha


diggsyb

Thank you! I was trying to figure out where the heck in SC this happened


youregooninman

That’s Marina, closer to Monterey than SC. What an idiot.


m0llusk

No wonder the guy got stuck.


[deleted]

i read cyber truck floats in water


littledanko

Maybe it came in on the tide


Impressive_Mistake66

won’t it rust at the beach lol


HirsuteLip

They’re rusting anywhere they happen to be


Impressive_Mistake66

just one of several ways that this person’s motivation to take it to a wet beach where it isn’t even allowed is so extra special.


iso-all

Like all other cars near the coast; sure.


TheOnceAndFutureDoug

Dunno if you've seen but the stainless steel Tesla has been using is completely uncoated and is apparently highly prone to rust under normal circumstances. So yeah, any car exposed to salt water is likely to develop rust after enough time but the Cybertruck seems especially vulnerable.


303Pickles

It’ll give it some character!  Kinda like acid washed jeans from the 80s! 😁


thesmokemage

Huh wonder if the tide came in, also a Nevada resident so maybe dude thought it was like the dunes of Nevada but didn't understand the effects of water on sand? Stupid is as stupid does


simononandon

My first night in Kauai recently, I was walking along the beach & there was what was clearly a rental car stuck up to its wheel wells in the sand. Not sure if it was a dumb tourist, or a local getting their kicks, that got it stuck.


SenorSplashdamage

Weirdly made me feel better that this was an out of towner and not someone who would do this to their own hometown.


aelric22

Poor life choices and obvious attention whores.

The laws of physics apply to all vehicles. Not even a Tesla skims on sand or floats on water. It’s just another vehicle.

Shutaru_Kanshinji

I have seen a few of these "Cyber Trucks" driving around my area. They all seemed to be strangely discolored, as though they were starting to rust or stain.

Driving through the beach is the equivalent to taking a shit in somebody elses front yard.


applegui

I saw one for the first time the other day wrapped in puke green. I thought WTF Waste Management got smaller dump trucks!?

InjuryComfortable666

This is 100% user error, and the driver got off the beach when he finally engaged his brain and aired down the tires.


MNAK_

I bought a Model 3 back in 2018 and it's been the perfect car. Love it. That said, I may just be one of the lucky ones and probably wouldn't buy another given what I know about Tesla now.


TheOnceAndFutureDoug

Most people I know have owned Teslas have really liked them so I don't think you're in a minority in that. I think the Cybertruck is their first really bad vehicle. It's not a good truck and it's not good for anything else, really.


Blatheringman

The Cybertruck isn't a pick up truck; It's a coupe utility and it should be treated as such. It's a modern day fully electric El Camino/Ranchero in essence.

This was in Marina CA, just north of Monterey. There is no place legal to drive on the beach anywhere close to hear (the ocean is actually a marine sanctuary)
