Or a raccoon with a crowbar
Only a good raccoon with a crowbar can stop a bad raccoon with a crowbar.
No such thing as a bad raccoon with a crowbar
Or a crow with a racoonbar.
Bro do you want to start Planet of the Racoons?! Don't give them any ideas
I mean, now that you say it. A little bit.
A crowbar can seriously damage pretty much any vehicle. Nobody believes Elon's promise that it would be sturdy as a tank. Out of all Cybertruck failures, lack of prying protection is one of the least concerning.
Found the Muskrat
Or just somebody who is using a little common sense instead of giving into the (I’ll admit very tempting) opportunity to dunk on musk.
Most consumer products don’t hold up well against a crowbar.
Most companies don't brag about their cars literally being built like a tank.
I think you're severely underestimating the power of a crowbar

I think you missing the point that I am clearly saying about Musk's bullshit which is not about fucking crowbars.
I agree but you misunderstood my comment. The fact he said it would be like a tank compared to the actual execution should be enough to point out that he is full of BS, and you don't need a crowbar to prove it. Yes, Musk fans believed him on that (I didn't) and most no longer do.
Yet people won't shut up about the stupid crowbar instead of the point about Musk lying and you excusing him for being a liar.
zero people here are excusing him for being a liar
zero people here ever believed him to begin with
zero people here believe any vehicle can be built "like a tank". (How rock-like really were Chevy's from the 90's? What does Ford Tough even mean!? Can I really drive my Ram through solid objects as the name implies!??!)
What people are saying is that a raccoon can claw through a rubber seal, regardless of the marketing because, as it turns out, racoons don't believe musk either (and they likely don't watch ads).
When did I ever excuse him? I explicitly said he’s a piece of shit and his truck is dangerous waste.
You are just latching on to one dumb marketing thing he said and treating it like it’s gospel that’s been disproven. He’s an idiot and a bigot. He says a lot of dumb shit.
You haven't seen pickup truck commercials. Hell, even Apple used military tank imagery in their commercials.
How did you reach that conclusion? I share Thunderf00t's opinion on Elon Musk. However, the fact that crowbars can ruin any car still stands, and the reason people usually don't do that is only thanks to the fact that they are not psychopaths.
The crowbar "point" was stupid and irrelevant. It was just normalizing Musk's lies.
This was a very unpopular pun. Better luck next time!
That section is a rubber like section to seal the gate against the tonneau cover. Not surprising at all that paws and teeth can tear it.
I trained them to do that! I'm so proud of them
(I continue to give others permission to recycle this joke and tell as many people they can they're training Raccoons to break into Cybertrucks in the hopes we can eventually convince Elon Musk its true)
Elon is a level 7 susceptible. Your comment alone is enough.
Just think though if we all keep saying it until he's seeing it all over the place. A raccoon breaking into a Cybertruck should be like... Our mascot
If it walks like a duck..
Makes sense, every Cybertruck probably smells like an incel. I'd assume it was trash, too
The lookout: Take your time, boys. Take your time.
That’s funny but it’s probably one or two incidents among the sea of fools who bought this thing and not worth actually speculating some larger trend over
Compare that with the absolutely massive number of other trucks with tonneau covers, and how often they get vandalized by racoons.
The Cybertruck is still a very rare vehicle. 2 instances is quite a lot statistically.
are you fucking kidding me?! I personally know four people who's wiring harnesses were destroyed by squirrels. One who's seats were destroyed by a raccoon that opened an unlocked fucking door, and one who's vehicle was totalled by a horse.
You've never seen stories like these because none of them happened to a Tesla.
Oh I know a guy who transported a goat in a BMW, and miraculously nothing bad happened. Does that mean BMW's are goat proof?!
No one actually trying to make an empirical claim about this can possibly get away with 1 or 2 randomly claimed/unverified social media posts against over 11,500 cybertrucks. Musk is a piece of shit and his truck is dangerous trash but y’all are letting the lulz cloud your judgment.
My dearly beloved ham sandwich, this is a meme and not a dissertation. You seem to be the only person here taking it this seriously – I doubt folks walked away from this meme completely convinced there's now an epidemic of raccoons breaking into Cybertrucks
What's that you say - there's an epidemic of raccoons breaking into Cybertrucks??
I'm off to tweet this immediately.
No. 2 is small numbers statistically. Perhaps you meant 2 is quite a lot percentage wise.
