subscription to the premium braking service had lapsed and posting this violates his private arbitration agreement.
also, the lack of a “still love the truck” line has completely voided the warranty.

Still love the truck though
deleted by creator
It’s a communally enforced social totalitarianism encouraged by the millions of investors whose financial success is tied to enforcing this behaviour. You behave this way or you get attacked by the “community” of owners and investors.
I’m surprised they didn’t include the cursory “love the truck though.” I thought that was mandatory in order to not void the warranty.
Tough to see but it held up welk with only minor scrapes and bruises.
Think this qualifies as a “love the truck through” statement.
Experience?
Mere ownership effect
probably the $200,000 of sunk cost that wont get repairs if you badmouth it in any way
I don’t like cybertrucks, but there is something to be said for their earnest attempts to kill all cybertruck owners.
you do in fact have to hand it to them
The car looks like it was designed for this position.
Cybertruck user: “Elon promised me a tank-like vehicle able to stop bullets. But I gotta say - I’m a bit disappointed how often my Cyber rolls over. The last time it did that - my girlfriend damaged some vertebrae in her neck. She said ‘Your truck could rollover after hitting a chestnut!’ and she broke up with me. At the first sign of any problem - women will leave you. I hate woke…”
I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don’t like the vehicle.
Maybe it’s designed that way so it doesn’t keep rolling once it gets started.
“It would not stop and was gaining speed from 5 mph to 12+ while on the brakes.”
“It held up well and only a few minor scratches [despite the truck being upside down. Would buy again.]”
These people are beyond brainwashed.
I really want to know how it flipped at 12mph though like i wanna watch
HAHAHA! That was literally my first thought. Homey! How did you flip your truck at 12 mph?! Were you ghost-riding the whip? WTF happened?
And this road doesn’t look that steep? I guess perspective could be making it look more flat but still idk how it ended up literally 180d onto its back unless it hit some kinda video game physics landmine
I never could get those cube collisions right. XD
Especially when they love to brag about how hard it is to flip other teslas. Especially their suv
This car has to take the cake for goat lemon
People like to talk shit about Trabants and Ladas, but at least those cars were relatively affordable (hard to compare when DDR and USSR had relatively rare personal car ownership, though) and easy to repair.
WOAT
Physics still exists, so it’s possible that this person is just a moron and it was too steep/slippery to slow. However 26 degrees doesn’t seem like that much, and it’s not hard to imagine this shitbox having broken ABS.

They own a cybertruck. It is not a possibility, it’s a certainty
But also
26 degrees doesn’t seem like that much
Nah it’s quite a lot TBH, angles feel much steeper in reality than they seem as numbers. E.g. a typical staircase is ~30-35°, and the steepest street in the world is 35° (and that thing has concrete, which is a reasonably grippy surface).
If it was grass, wet mud, or gravel, I can totally see a 3000 kg vehicle just not being able to physically stop. It’s interesting that they managed to flip it, I suppose there was something else at play that we can’t see in the photo.

I think it’s easy to forget how much exceptionally heavy EV cars and trucks are.
Yeah, but usually the batteries are kept down low and make the vehicle more difficult to flip. But I wouldn’t put it behind tesla to fuck that up somehow too.

could probably roll it on that crap on the left and full steering angle
26 degrees is like the steepest mountain road you could run into, steeper than the wonkiest of hillside driveways.
What if this guy being a cybertruck driver and all mistook 26% slope grade as 26 degrees? Would be even funnier because 26 degrees is a genuinely steep slope but 26% is like 14 degrees which is quite manageable.
I didn’t think of that lol
I think I’ll offer him the benefit of the doubt but still
I never thought to ask before but is the 26° from the top of the slope or the bottom? Triangle expert here
A flat surface would be 0°, so it’s from the bottom of the slope.
26 doesn’t seem so bad then. If it was 26 from the top that may as well be straight down.
64° from the top sounds fine
Most humans start to freak out and scream when a car is at ~15-20° bank angle. Some SUVs flip over at 30° bank angle. The steepest street on the planet is 35°.
Hiking trails are usually around 20-25°. You usually need to help yourself up with your hands when the slope goes beyond 40°.
Angles are a lot steeper in reality than what you think if you just look at the numbers.
Well, in that case, i still love the truck
Consider that avalanches can occur starting around 25°
Considering…
I like drawn triangles better
You can convert it to percentage to make the number sound bigger. It’s almost 50%
Is 100% a 45° angle?
We don’t convert degrees into percentages in insulator school just minutes and seconds
Yeah. Doesn’t it sound a lot more impressive like that?
Bottom I believe
The car known for killing people nearly killed me… still loving it though!
“At least the truck is alright”
Had to make a choice to crash it or risk tumbling down a mountain to probably death
The image does not make it clear what they chose

Does the dumpster use typical hydraulic brakes or are they fly by wire?
mechanical linkage to the electronic booster system afaik. instead of using vacuum pressure from the combustion engine, these cars use an electronically controlled booster with a master cylinder that pushes fluid out to the calipers
Thanks. An actual answer to my question instead of a bunch of hollering.
If the ABS was faulty and fighting him, or the power brakes failed, there is 0 chance for a human to stop a 3000 kg truck rolling down a 26° slope, even with perfect grip. Whether it has hydraulic or fly-by-wire breaks, if the electronics were faulty it wouldn’t matter.
I’ve had to stop my 2000 kg van from 110 km/h, on a relatively flat surface, when the ECU shat its pants in the rain and the engine died. Let me tell you, I weigh 80 kg, never skip leg day, and yet it took all my strength for a good 20 seconds whaling on the service brake to stop it (and yes, I made sure to let off a bit when a wheel locked). Add another metric ton or a steep hill and it would basically be impossible for all practical purposes.
… I mean, that’s not what I asked at all but okay.
Sure, sorry if it came off as rude, wasn’t intended that way
to be fair, hydraulic brakes with power steering dead would be a tall order to stop a fucking 3000 kg rust bucket too
I had a tiny ford focus power steering fail on a muddy, but flat road and it was pretty scary
Not totally sure for the brakes specifically on the truck but I know wayyy more than normal is fly by wire in this shit. So wouldn’t surprise me at all
How did they manage to flip it?
Just turn the wheel a little.
Sorry control

It’s incredibly silly to use a control usually used in airplanes for a car (outside of very niche things like F1 race cars). I can’t wait for Tesla to put something like the tiny little side sticks used in those Cirrus planes for a car.
It’s the most natural sleeping position for that breed of truck
