This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

Don’t forget that you can’t haul much because the dumbass designers sloped the walls of your bed. You have plenty of room for friends though, if you could make any.

Wasn't sure what your meant...

Bottom is release version

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 35 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's about the level of craftsmanship I expect to see in a wheelbarrow from Harbor Freight.

[–] harry_balzac@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

I'm not sure. Their wheelbarrows are probably going to last longer and haul more than a CyberTruck.

[–] the_q@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

People with big trucks didn't haul anything anyway. It's all just manly cosplay.

[–] Gargantu8@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Just like most pickup trucks sold with too short beds and a crew cab lol. At least this one is electric despite being fugly

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The vast majority of pickups don’t have sloped bed walls. The only other one I can think of is the Chevy Avalanche, and they aren’t sloped the whole way to the tailgate, only part way.

I would personally bet a full paycheck that in two years, most of these trucks have hauled no more than like a few pieces of furniture, a couple 2x4s, and maybe some bags of potting soil or mulch.

Definitely justifies daily driving a 7000lb, bullet proof, pedestrian slicer.

No sane industrial or construction operator is buying a Cybertruck. They'd probably get the base model F150 Lightning or something if they wanted electric, you know, like they've already been doing.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

There's also the Hyundai Santa Cruz. It's a similarly ugly truck that screams "I want a car that's also tall"

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I mean to be fair most pickup trucks and SUVs are fugly too, just not quite this bad.
