From the damage present in the picture, it almost looks like they tried to drive it.

Can't be, driving it voids the warranty
Buying probably voids the warranty
It proves they’re mentally unfit to operate a vehicle.
Was it left outside in the rain?
I think they tried to drive it through a car wash and it started on fire.
What a pile of garbage.
It was once a flaming pile of garbage!
a dumpster fire
Before that a rolling pile of garbage.
Those are not bad looking rims.
Yikes. Appears that this one might have caught fire?
I looks like there was fire, but it doesn't look like it came from where the battery is. The battery runs from front to back on the bottom of the vehicle. This looks like the fire was only at the front. So perhaps whatever was impacted caught on fire but the battery never ignited perhaps?
It's impossible to tell from a single photo, but it looks like the fire was possibly localized to the wheel-well. I can't think of anything that might ignite in there, though.
Brakes yo. They get HOT
on EVs as far as I understand the brakes are barely used due to regenerative braking, so they should not be running hot unless the car is being driven very hard.
This is generic knowledge and not necessarily applicable to the Cybertruck however.
My son LOVES Cybertrucks.
He's 7 though, so I imagine not the market Musk was targeting
Musk drew up the original sketch for the cyber truck on his notebook in class when he was 7.
Tow driver: Damn this thing looks like it went through the Iraq war.
Owner: I've had it for three weeks.
I hate this truck as much as the next guy but, isn't this what any and every car looks like after a fire?
I've seen two in person (possible, same one just twice). It was bigger and dumber looking than I thought it would be. The style contrasts with literally everything around it. In every possible way, it looks unfinished in a way no video or photo ever conveyed.
I've finally started seeing some in my city over the last week or so. They are just so goddamn big and awkward looking. They really look like someone put dumpster on wheels. I honestly find them pretty jarring to see out on the road.
That's in pretty decent shape, actually. The metal is usually more rusted, especially if they tried to wash it in a car wash.
In its natural environment.
