Another day, another Cybertruck being towed from somewhere nobody really ought to need a tow from. Take a look, Toyota Sienna to the rescue.

They are “floppy” because they likely deflated them after getting stuck. But if you want to let hatred blind your reasoning, go ahead.

    Oh fuck you and go learn how to work on a vehicle. The fucking RIMS are flopping at the same rate, that ain't got shit to do with the tire pressure.

    Also note, Tesla recalled some of their Cyberfucks for the wheels falling off. Please try to stay up to date..

    There’s nothing wrong with the rims at all. You are just a very angry, irrational person.

    It's kinda weird. They want the Cybertruck to be the problem so badly, and it just isn't. And yet, they just keep arguing with everyone.

    And insulting anyone who tries to explain it to them.

    No no, rational people know better than to purchase a Cyberfuck.

    We do know how to read safety notices and recalls and such.

    There's no reason that thing should have been turning the wheels left and right that fucking fast, unless it just wanted to bury itself deeper in the sand..

    Goal is reverse, in a simple and straight direction, being pulled by another vehicle. There's no reason the wheels should have been turning back and forth so fast, and also humans cannot steer the wheel that quickly.

    So, the Cyberfuck AI must have been in control of the wheel, in crackhead squirrel brain mode, trying to become a crab and dig itself deeper into the sand.

    The Cybertruck doesn't have a steering column. They're steer-by-wire. That may explain why the wheels were able to move so quickly. The steering ratio changes dynamically depending on vehicle speed.

    You pilot the Cybertruck with a yoke that sweeps through its full range of motion in just 340 degrees—less than one complete turn. That’s possible because the relationship between the driver’s input and the resulting angle at the front wheels is written in code, with all the infinite possibilities that implies. Tesla uses that flexibility to give the Cybertruck the quickest steering of any production vehicle at parking lot speeds and more relaxed responses at highway speeds for smooth, steady control.

    The driver is just wiggling the steering wheel to try to free the front tires.

    If you're stuck in sand, the absolute last thing you do is start 'wiggling' the steering wheel. Might as well be a crab trying to bury yourself deeper in the sand..

    IDK whether it was Autopilot or Human™ controlled, or if the vehicle was just damaged and malfunctioning, any which way this event was just straight fucking stupid.

    Props to Toyota though 👍
