Just got off work today and as I walking towards my truck I saw a bunch of crud on top of and the back of my truck. “What the hell is that?” Upon closer inspection I realized it was bread crumbs. I’m pretty sure somebody was trying to lure birds to shit on my truck.
In my experience in the last couple of months, most people love my truck, but if the internet has taught me anything is that there really are haters out there and I just ran into my first one. Luckily birds hadn’t had time to find the crumbs yet and they all blew off by the time I got home, but that could have been bad.
I can’t believe somebody took the time to do that, unfortunately I had sentry off because it drains so much battery and 99% of time it’s just somebody staring or taking a picture, but I think I’ll start leaving it on again.

The asshole literally had to go out of his way to find bread to do that. People have way too much time and hate. Its unreal.
sometimes the most weird and out of touch reddit replies are the subtle ones
Yeah, who eats bread? who goes out of their way to buy that shit?
I appreciate that this reply comes from https://www.reddit.com/user/ActionFigureCollects , someone who seems to be fully cartoon brained.edit: Wait that’s the Namaste guy, not this one. This guy is just a doctor.

I saw one of these things in the wild this week. A good tenth of regular cars in town have rotted-out wheel wells due to road salt, so it’ll be funny to look for them next spring.
Apparently there are two of them locally with similarly harsh conditions for cars. 50% more UV radiation than sea level, constant road salt from September to May, deep snow that’s heavily polluted near any major road, wildfires so massive that they blanket the entire area in ash for weeks.
It rally is emblematic of the rotting American empire
Well since those things don’t happen in silicon valley they’re not needed
This ill thought out poorly made piece of shit really is the gift that keeps on giving.
Pro tip: you gotta get the little pieces of bread wet first so they stick

From their comments:
I cant charge at home so if I use sentry I have to charge every two days instead of every three days. It was just a combination of laziness and complacency, I work 60-70 hours a week so not spending 40 minutes charging was appealing but you’re right, its better to be prepared, especially with such a big investment.
Investment?
This is my first new vehicle, I usually buy 20+ y/o cars that only last me 4-5 years. This is the first time it’s going to be me to put that first 100-200k miles on it, so I do consider it to be an investment. Maybe not as good as the S&P, but it gets me to work on time.
Right, but an investment is an asset you acquire with the intention of making money… is the value of the truck going up?
In your opinion, to me, the money I’m saving on fuel, maintenance, repairs, and the rule of cool, I’m sitting pretty flat.
Unfortunately, there will always be haters, trolls, or nay-sayers or whatever we wanna call them. Douchebags, dumpster monkeys, or negative nellies.
The dangerous ones act out, and even follow-thru with their distorted reality or sick fantasies.
The human population is no different, we all sit on the spectrum and bell curve.

PS: by the way, how much battery life does sentry mode drain? Might be worthwhile to enable it in ‘hostile environments?’
PSS: I’d consider keeping a cyber-baseball bat in the truck or frunk for those exceptional moments of self-defense.
It drains about 7% a day.
It shouldn’t need near that
I agree, I feel like sentry mode is trying to mine crypto or something. Why is it trail cameras can run off batteries for days but sentry mode straight up uses kwh’s a day to use basically the same technology recording to a usb ssd drive?
It’s because the cameras are connected to a computer with high end GPUs. This is not a cheap trail cam, it’s a dedicated computer system with advanced image processing abilities and mobile network connectivity.
[From what I’ve seen recently, the real-time monitoring is limited to one hour per day because it’s uploading an obscene amount of data. Like 60gb I think?]
This is the first time it’s going to be me to put that first 100-200k miles on it, so I do consider it to be an investment.
Oh, bless your heart. You’re not putting 100-200k miles on a Cybertruck.
Theyre going to save money on running costs and make a return on it when they sell, too.
Ah, but have they calculated all the money they’re gonna have to spend on a rental when it’s not running?
They definitely have. The person that normally buys 20+ year old cars that has now spunked at least 80 thousand USD (66 thousand GBP, cause for me that really puts it into perspective.), on a truck…when they presumably dont need one, has really thought this through. I assure you.
They might make it 100 miles.
it gets me to work on time
This is not the type of car you get “to get you to work on time”, it’s the type of car you get to feel like a feudal lord being driven around in a carriage while peasants stare in disgust
In one recent post I’ve seen, the door handles were progressively failing and they’d stand there pressing the unlock button a dozen times: https://www.reddit.com/r/CyberStuck/comments/1cscmge/driver_side_door_intermittently_working_there_are/
He then states that the safety restraint system is experiencing a fault and it didn’t come with a spare tyre, but he hopes to get everything repaired in one (1) day.
My wonderwagon is falling apart, but I still love it
Most people love it actually
safety restraint system
What? I presume you mean what id call a seatbelt…how?
*cyberbelt
I wonder if it’s the interface between crash sensors and cyberbelts/cybairbags. They’ve already innovated by making the passengers the crumple zone, so this would improve the efficiency.
I said it ten minutes ago, but ill say it again…it really is the gift that keeps on giving.

Not getting to work on time if the battery starts burning and the doors automatically lock you inside.
What is the point of a job that lets you buy one of these ridiculous things but you have to work 60-70 hours every week? That seems miserable.
I was thinking that too. This person, who usually buys 20+ year old cars, has just spent twenty times in pounds what i spent on my current car. There is no way that they can afford this…its impressive.
It’s an investment! They’ll sell it at $3000 by the end of the year
I thought techbros are at the very least unhealthily obsessed with stock markets and financial instruments, but even I, a lazy commie who hides his financial incompetency behind “it’s immoral bro”, know that a car is not an investment, holy shit
It can be seen as an investment if it’s considered a “classic” that is actually desirable to car heads
The Cybertruck is not and will never be that lol
In your opinion, to me, the money I’m saving on fuel, maintenance, repairs, and the rule of cool, I’m sitting pretty flat.
Buy my new finance training book “Everything’s worth it if girls are watching”, coming out next july

Incredible that not only does the CEO talk like a child, but his fans too.
PSS: I’d consider keeping a cyber-baseball bat in the truck or frunk for those exceptional moments of self-defense.
This is probably just a joke, but a stupid one even for Muskrats. But then you remember that a lot of Tesla fans are libs and Silicon Valley dorks who probably dislike or can’t have guns. Imagine throwing some bread at the truck and the owner yells at you, opens up his trunk, walk all the way to front/back to grab the baseball bat, and you’re already half a mile away from him lol
I agree, I feel like sentry mode is trying to mine crypto or something.
It’s because the cameras are connected to a computer with high end GPUs.
It’s definitely mining crypto
Lmao hell yes this goober is going to kill their battery and strand themselves with bazinga sentry mode
Imagine taking it camping with the shitty tent. The battery drains itself by morning to capture bad photos of wildlife. You’re stranded but luckily you bought some super expensive generator that can get you to 10% if you breathe diesel fumes in the great outdoors for a few hours while sentry mode takes pictures of you being sad for Tesla employees to laugh at. Finally you get it charged, plot out the 100 miles to the nearest refueling point on your giant tablet computer, and it gets stuck trying to drive up a small hill exiting the campsite.
That’s assuming the morning condensation doesn’t cripple the thing entirely lol. God forbid if it rains on them.
Luckily, it doesn’t rain ever
How the fuck are these legal to sell?
they aren’t in Europe and hopefully never will
on one hand, good for road safety. On the other, I can’t do any funny pranks to them
Kind of amazing how many bad things happen to these vehicles the “one time” they don’t put on sentry mode, not just OP, but in the comments too. Amazing how this car can keep a perfect record of strangers fucking with them, but any time a stranger does, this system just so happens to be off or not working!
I fucking love the one where a beepboop apartheid truck owner went into a climbing gym and came out to find that someone had spit precisely in the middle of all four windows. One of the comments was asking if sentry mode captured it and the owner reported that it had glitched out and recorded nothing.
Even when you let it drain 7% of your battery to upload tens of gigabytes of data per day on your home connection and have to refuel 30% more often, who knows if that system will work. Unlimited bread on Teslas.
If it drains a load battery, they probably arent putting it on. Would you?

I can’t believe somebody took the time to do that
I don’t think throwing breadcrumbs at a car takes any serious amount of time
I threw an egg on a Tesla (not a cybertruck) once because they were blocking my parking spot by just… sitting in the alley right in front of and fully blocking the parking behind my building. No blinkers no nothing. I guess they didn’t want to find parking for any of the nearby stores so they chose to block my entire alley instead.
I was bringing back groceries. The 4th trip all the way around my building with my groceries was when I had the eggs. I threw one at it. It cost me literally zero time because I was already walking by it wasting time taking grocery trips all the way around my building.
This is what I imagine happened here too. I didn’t go out of my way to egg a Tesla it was just in my fucking way illegally parked and I happened to have eggs in my hands.
I agree entirely because the shittiest car drivers, and I assume all Cybertruck owners are that, are nigh-solipsistic in their approach to life.
A masterful use of emojis

The conquest of bread.
Oh damn, bread so birds shit on it, that’s a good idea.
They’ll have to manually scrape it off using rubbing alcohol. It’s such a perfect tactic to really shame them.
