This is fake.
Panel gaps are too consistent and it doesn't look like anything has fallen off.
- Even survives car washes. Fake as hell
  
  Things were just built better back then
- Also, as cars designed by immature adults go, it might just look better than the real thing.
  
  I mean, it is also obviously AI generated, so there's that too. (Or is it?)
- Survivorship bias

Okay but why does this look better than the actual thing though
- Colour! Silver is boring unless it's a highlight.
  Also, that straight line that's bumper to bumper and consistent through the doors is a nice detail
  
  I’ve seen ones that were custom painted and they look significantly better. It doesn’t stop them from being dumpsters on wheels, but at least they look finished.
- Uhhh we might not see the same thing

More like 1988.
- Clearly an 87

Looks way cooler

Less electronics = less problems
- Tesla being terrible not withstanding, electric vehicles require less maintenance than ICE vehicles, I believe.
  That being said, fuck cars anyway, all my homies love walkable neighbourhoods with public and active transport

That vehicle has already lasted longer, and been more useful, than any of the embarrassing new ones.

Hi, is this available?
- Yes, are you still interested?

Hi, how many miles per gallon does it get?
- Hi, how many ~~miles per gallon~~ gallons per mile does it get?
  FTFY.
  
  Ironic, gallons per mile is actually a more useful measure for high fuel efficiency vehicles because it directly represents fuel consumption. Differences in MPG are more misleading to intuition as MPG increases.
  For example, upgrading from an 18mpg car to a 28mpg car (Option A) saves more fuel than upgrading from a 34mpg car to a 50mpg car (Option B). It is easy to be misled that Option B would result in more savings because it is an upgrade of 16mpg rather than only 10mpg in Option A.
  GPM does not have this problem and the differences can be compared directly, Option A in GPM is 5.5gpm -> 3.5gpm, for a difference of 2gpm while Option B is 2.9gpm -> 2gpm for a difference of only 0.9gpm, making it easy to see that the Option A is a greater impact to fuel economy than Option B.
- It gets 13 gallons per mile.
- Miles, plural??
- Smiles per gallon

Obviously fake. You can't buy a car that cheap.

here is the original 1976 cyber truck

More desirable than the new ones. Looks like it could withstand someone spitting on it.

Lol I'll take two

Sibertruck

I recently bought a wearable device from Amazon with programmable esp32 s3 board. What I got was basically buying a cybertruck and getting this.
- Esp32s are great, what was your expectations?
  
  My expectation was to get a product with esp32 s3 from 2020, not the 2016 version.
  Just like the car in the picture gets you from A to B, I can work with that chip. It's just a pain to strip and modify stuff designed for the S3 to get at least partially working on the chip I got. Luckily I don't need every "bell and whistle".

worth it

Probably lead acid batteries.
