Is this a joke? What else could be under that tarp? It even has a little flap for the plug.

I feel my ability to understand satire is being attacked by reality.

And I checked the comments and its a mix of musk riding:

"I don’t understand how people get so easily manipulated into hating someone that has done so much to change our life’s. Elon is great man and is doing great things for our country and uncovering so much corruption and honestly he needs more credit"

or thinking this is a joke:

"That’s not hiding the fact that there’s a swastikar under it"

Lmao, this is obviously a troll.

It's not even satire, just straight up trolling.

When you use the cover, guess what gets blocked? The cameras.

So no more sentry mode.

This just makes the cybertruck an even more attractive target.

i think the actual purpose is to prevent water damage

That's a dust cover, not a waterproof tarp.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah, so the purpose is to trap in moisture to accelerate that coveted patina

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Coveted Patina is also the less successful sequel to Stephen King's Needful Things.

Lord knows that car can’t do so by itself.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

JFC that car is humongous. I could fit my small car twice under that tarp, with room to spare. Or that guy is tiny.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Makes you wonder "why not put it in your garage" but then oh yeah, because tiny man want big truck to feel big, so big he can't park it in his garage anymore

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think one would fit in my garage...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

A bit of him is probably very tiny.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

They barely fit in parking spaces

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, I would feel so ridiculous, propelling this whole fucking boat just to move my ass to the grocery store...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Swasticar owners take no publicity is bad publicity to heart. Get that attention in one way or another!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Edmund's spec sheet gives a height of 70.5in (5'10.5) so he's probably around 5'6

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

it’s not, the person is actually a midget

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I could practically fit my apartment under that tarp

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

It's actually Elon musk under that blanket

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

I thought it was Saddam Hussein for a second.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Fucking brilliant

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Truly no one else in history has ever or will ever again design a car after their rib cage. You've done it, Elmo, you've invented something in your life!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago

Take it as a cautionary tale. Even though depraved money demons control every major aspect of social and news media and you are surrounded by a constant ear-splitting blare of fascistic brown-note, nobody will ever be better at lying to you than yourself.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Finally something in which I can flex my specific knowledge of the human world!

It is a joke: the shape of the truck is quite peculiar and covering hides none of its typical features.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Are you sure? I didn't see any tags. Best to be safe and assume this is something serious and malicious.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I don't see any tag in your reply I'll therefore assume you are being serious and malicious.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes the F-150 with the sharply angled roof.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No wonder we don’t buy US cars in Europe - in which city center could that monster fit in?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Nope, its pretty narrow and Tesla would be there simply stolen

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

In scrap parts*

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I dont think the owner of this car would care about the disgusting lower class meat or their so called opinions.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

Why is he wrapping that dumpster?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What a shitty ass car tarp

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

That's for refilling the meme tank.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Swastiboat with sparky tail butt plug

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago
