A farmer proves the Tesla Cybertruck is a workhorse, defying critics with a video showcasing impressive features.
Sounds like a good fit for a paid for piece from Elon.
I don’t play the game so I’ve got no stocks in this, but why on earth did Epic even agree to it? Tesla must’ve put a ridiculous amount of zeroes on that paycheck. I mean you might as well put Hitler’s car in it at this point.
Also, the reception from players has not gone well.
The sole positive is he can plug a welder into it…
But it’s a hell of a lot cheaper to just put a generator in the bed of a real truck. Plus you won’t accidentally use all your battery welding and be stuck. Since you can’t just bring out a new battery, you’d have to tow it back.
Also, it costs $100k. No sane farmer is spending $100k on a work truck that’s inevitably going to get really dirty and banged up.
You’re being unreasonable, it’s a farm not an ocean! Ever seen a water farm? Didn’t think so.
It’s called surface rust, and totally normal on stainless steel surfaces. Happens on Deloreans too and they’re fine 50 years later.
Absolutely hilarious how people’s hatred for Musk completely erases any sense of objectivity or rationality.
I don’t know man, a lot of work trucks can get to six figures pretty easily once you start adding utility beds and the like. Especially if you start with a one ton.
I agree, but those people don’t tend to be farmers, in my experience (or maybe I only know poor farmers).

Farmer inexplicably spends over 100 grand buying trash
My extremely progressive by American farmer standards uncle, who has driven a Prius for non-farm travel for over a decade, would probably stare at this article silently, turn, and walk out to the barn to continue working. Just about the harshest response that man ever gives.
What a funny account. Created in July and only full of tech articles posts with zero comments…

I’ve checked and they posted an article from “ibtimes” 26 (!!) times
| Site | Posts |
|---|---|
| www.ibtimes.co.uk | 26 |
| www.techtimes.com | 10 |
| www.hngn.com | 4 |
Some further analysis shows that all 3 are using the same name server provider (AWS) and have the same registrant name (a company called PERFECT PRIVACY, LLC). Techtimes and HNGN are also both hosted at Google Cloud, but ibtimes is hosted at AWS. Making it seem like the account is attempting to increase backlinks to their sites. But it could also just be a coincidence of course.
Edit 2024-08-16: They posted another article from IBNTIMES.
It could be those are just preferred news sources for them. If I were in the habit of reading news and posting what I thought was interesting, I would probably browse a handful of sites and maybe you’d be able to see a similar pattern.
But I can’t figure why they never comment. Not even to add clarifying information or links or whatever.
We can ask and maybe get their first comment in the process. !rosschie@lemdro.id
Their posts are largely well received and commented, but yeah it’s a little weird. I can think of a few possibilities for this, but whatever they’re doing doesn’t seem like typical user behavior. They don’t seem to be shilling for Tesla because I see at least one semi-negative post.
