It’s… 1 year old. You don’t often find so many reports, news stories, and images of a brand-new $80,000+ vehicle deteriorated or self-immolated a single year later.
I try not to go to Reddit so much, but the CyberStuck sub is pretty good and not replicated elsewhere. There are so many problems with these vehicles it’s astonishing. They aren’t nearly as capable as they were touted to be, either.
EVs tend to look like this after a battery fire, and the Cybertruck is easily the most hated vehicle ever made. I wouldn’t assume that this one caught itself on fire.
I figure if you’re not aware of the stupid “pranks” influencers are pulling on youtube, you just don’t visit, and that’s probably in your best interest.
You also don’t have a ton of idiots doing stupid things to make their vehicle have issues intentionally usually either.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of YouTube videos of people purposely putting the vehicle in extreme situations and situations it wasn’t intended for. Not to mention the ones just doing it because “Fuck Elon”, after paying $100k for the vehicle, because they’ll get the money back from YouTube ads on videos milking it as much as possible.
I’m not saying all the videos are that, many are legitimate reviews and tests. But a lot are also purposely trying to damage it.

I hate this truck as much as the next guy but, isn’t this what any and every car looks like after a fire?

I’m sorry, are you suggesting that people are spending 6 figures purchasing, then destroying these vehicles… as a meme??
Continue to stay away from youtube. It’s a dark place.
I think you replied to the wrong comment.

No but could be a fire unrelated to the trucks electronics, or one that was well contained either by design or more likely a lucky accident
But yes I’ve also seen videos of people shooting at cybertrucks so who tf knows maybe???
In case you’re not being sarcastic, Whistlindiesel…
But they’ve also been the target of some vandalism.
Is there a reason the car looks like it’s giving up its physical body and becoming a spectral?
Water. Best way to put out an EV fire is to keep dousing it with water until it cools down enough to not be on fire.
