    I’ve been hitch-hiking a lot recently and it amazes me how bad the drivers from the US actually are. I thought that literally being raised in a car would give them some road sense, but apparently not. Especially on narrow and dirt roads I consistently see them zone out, slow to a complete crawl and lose all bearing in where the actual road is.

    So anyway, in situations like this I wouldn’t be surprised if the car was absolutely fine and the driver simply fucked up in the stupidest way imaginable.

    What is it about Tesla ownership that gives you sagelike calm and patience in situations where the vehicle you own is actively trying to kill you?

      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.

    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.

    “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.]”

    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).

      And it’s even worse in cars, at a 15-20° bank angle most people start to freak out and scream that the car is about to flip. 30-40° is when most cars will actually flip, I guess cybertruck is on the lower end here.

      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.

          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.

        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.

          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.
