Guys I had my Truck for less than 350 miles. something happened i cant explain… I was driving like usual and when coming into a turn releasing the accelerator but the speed wasnt reducing… so i pressed the brake… but it didnt engage… until it was too late and i hit a signal light pole, also airbags didnt deploy.

Here are some pics of damage

[the front bumper, bonnet, and driver side panels are fucked. The driver remains the crumple zone]

Regen was working but it was limited it was different than before ( I’m doing a bad job of explaining), hence the application of brakes which also had a delayed feeling. I’m glad to be uninjured 🙏

Feeling a bit sore

Still love the truck though.

The comments seem to mostly be attacking him for having a new account. The shill is spreading FUD, not warning them that the brakes and airbags can spontaneously fail in a turn.

    Do you think “still love the truck though” is like the Tesla owner’s version of “in Minecraft” for people that don’t want Elon Musk to personally/legally harass them?

      I guess half the point of having a Tesla/Cybertruck is to be part of a ‘group’ with other Tesla fans. But they’ll be so rabid if you don’t reassure them of your dedication to the almighty suicide truck they’ll tear you to shreds.

        There’s the cult aspect and there’s also sunk cost fallacy. NFT guys have that same mentality where they’ll only double down on shitting their pants to prove they didn’t shit their pants but actually it’s SUPER ACTUALLY COOL if they did.

          Very true, they’ve reached a point where this scam is their whole personality so they’re far beyond facing that they might have been wrong.
