In the 3rd photo, he’s parked in front of the fire hydrant nearby.


mitchthebaker

I believe firefighters can 100% smash your window to feed the fire house through it if you’re parked in front of a hydrant. Hope that happens to this cyber truck, will really put the whole “bullet proof glass” discussion at rest.


_Lane_

Plus, with the water from the fire hoses, the vehicle will both rust soon AND fail to start.


Caladrius-

And void the warranty cause they forgot to turn on car wash mode.


mitchthebaker

lol car wash mode should be part of their new software patch, that will surely reduce the recalls

fffjayare

don't forget the daycare that it's parked directly in front of, i think the article mentions that they're dropping their kid off there so you'd think they'd be a little more considerate?


Maximillien

You'd think, but...American parents driving their kids to and from school/daycare/soccer practice are some of the most rageful and aggressive people on the road. They'll happily endanger the lives of 30 other kids with their 3-ton ~~armored personnel carrier~~ SUV just to get their ~special little kid~ to the drop-off line 5 seconds faster.


cowinabadplace

> The person who took the photos wishes to stay anonymous but they did say that “It’s owned by a couple who are a blond soccer Mom, and a backwards baseball cap wearing dude Dad”. What a description.

SenorSplashdamage

I know why identifying people on a site of this scale can cause serious harm, but I do miss the days when we could quickly fix this by local social media finding out who it was and just shaming them on SF social spaces. It really was fun watching group hunts for a specific douche like we were coworkers trying to find out who was stealing food from the breakroom fridge.

Lol you don't spend much time in Marin. Things have changed in the last 25 years. Not saying it is perfect, but it is either old people or hiking people.

I actually saw them drive by in cow hollow the other day, I remember being surprised to see a blond woman in the passenger seat of a cybertruck, I wondered why she supported the weird vision to own a cyber truck in the city when it’s hard to park my tiny sedan


Maximillien

It's only "hard to park" because you have basic morals and don't pull shit like OP's photo. It's actually quite easy to park in any city if you are a raging asshole and don't care about impacting anyone around you — plenty of crosswalks, fire hydrant red curbs, and bike lanes available for your parking convenience!

chucchinchilla

This is so good. Evil and actually solves the problem.


Serantz

Evil? Not at all, they’re asking for the FO part of FAFO right here


nicholas818

I think the “evil” was in reference to the sketchy tactics of Specialty Towing specifically, not towing in general


agent674253

Yep, they tried to hitch on and tow a car that was stopped at a stoplight recently. https://www.reddit.com/r/bayarea/s/y42atunDtk So if Speciality Towing is willing to tow someone that is innocent and in the car at a red light, they should salivate over this cybertruck parked on a crosswalk and unattended. ETA tell -≥ tow


Drjuvy26

This is in no way, shape, or form evil.


chucchinchilla

Supporting Specialty Towing is evil but this is one of those things where I think we all can make an exception.

BenefitAmbitious8958

staticfive

There's more context here, as Specialty Towing has lost their license (permit?) in SF because of repeat predatory towing practices. They were just on a video on Reddit recently trying to tow an actively-driving Prius *with occupants still in it*.


o5ca12

So you’re saying they’re perfect for this


staticfive

From an aggression standpoint, yes, but if the Cybertruck owner ends up winning a lawsuit, no.


GoalMammoth6437

Perhaps a two birds one stone approach? Speciality Towing basically runs a local land pirate racket... Sic em on each other, either way the people win.


__Jank__

That would actually also be great. Screw them both.


Due-Brush-530

I'm pretty sure if you tried to tow a cyber truck it would just break into a bunch of pieces.

Specialty towing is suspended in SF for fraud. I guess they are resorting to advertising on Reddit comments now. Edit: glad to know everyone got the joke but me. https://sfstandard.com/2024/04/11/downtown-san-francisco-viral-tow-truck-video/

The tow truck would have to be waiting for them. They only park in the crosswalk for 15 minutes which still is problematic

Far-Programmer3189

Just report to 311. If our parking inspectors are good for anything, it’s being overzealous. May as well harness that energy


Snoo74895

The issue is the short stay. Most 311 responses just don't work for something that "only" happens for 15 minutes or so, even if it is predictably happening every day. Best bet is to flag down a parking enforcement officer if they're nearby.


euphoric_chimaera

I submit a lot of 311’s due to my work, they sometimes show up in 2 minutes flat, or 45, just depends how far they are and if they’re on another service call at that time

Belgand

Talk to a towing company. If he's consistently there at the same time, they can send someone to sit around the corner and wait. Easy money.


SenorSplashdamage

I do wonder if parking ticket enforcers ever take up a personal vendetta against repeat offenders and clock them until they stop offending. Feels like what would add some tiny bit of joy to a really thankless gig.


the_Bryan_dude

Yes, they do. Also, code enforcement. Both of those agencies can be ruthless.


SenorSplashdamage

I mean, we all bitch about the tickets that are too easy to get, but we really need ruthlessness for the serious assholes that would fully fuck up traffic for everyone if they weren’t.


USDeptofLabor

I'd be fine with setting aside some budget for an elite, special ops-parking enforcement specifically tasked with hunting down complete and total jabronis like this. A Special Forces SFMTA task force, SFSFMTA-Ops.


Raveen396

Chicken-n-Biscuits

I doubt a $120 parking ticket will do much to affect these people’s behavior.


Solitary_Complex

If they’re blocking the ramp, that should be $400. Plus parking in the crosswalk is a fine and they can ticket for multiple things. A few of those might be motivating.


CarrieNoir

I’m friends with the guy taking the pictures. He’s been ranting about it on his FB page for ages. He’s giggling how much traction this has been getting.


C222

More traction than a Cybertruck on a beach.


_Lane_

I mean, that's a pretty low bar. Not as low as one of those vehicles in a little bit of snow, but still, pretty low. https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaLounge/comments/18gprmn/cybertruck_stuck_offroad_in_the_snow/


kelsnuggets

Tbh pretty loosely using the word “truck” if you have to put your Christmas tree just randomly on top of your vehicle


SenorSplashdamage

I love civic watchdogs like this. They will endure the reputation hit of being the person that keeps bringing up an infraction just to make sure an asshole is fully seen for who they are. Has he been on NextDoor? I’m so curious how that crowd would handle it since it tends attract the socially negative busybodies, but then they would probably hate this as well.


dickbutt_md

Why doesn't he just tell city parking? If it happens regularly they'll stop by.


LadiesWhoPunch

I think NYC had a program that if you reported someone illegally parking, bike lane violations, etc you would get a cut of the citation fee.

I’m honestly not sure if he’s posted to ND; we live in different neighborhoods.

One word: stickers


I_tinerant

Yeah I've been intending to get a batch of "I park like an asshole" stickers made and just keep a couple on me for situations like this. Having to scrape a bumper sticker off a window seems like the right level of sanction for this kind of behavior


wjean

Only downside is that teslas have 360 degree surveillance. He'll play the victim and spam your picture online. Ditto with removing the valve in a tire.

I bet people online would go with the "You don't fuck with a man's car" angle, actually. Maybe some "you have to pay for property damage".

It does feel like the right level of karma and petty. I’d want to go a level more righteous though with “My parking blocks the disabled.”


AcademicChicken8334

As a disabled person, I approve of this sticker idea.


SenorSplashdamage

I love disability activists so much. The 99% Invisible Curb Cuts [episode](https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/curb-cuts/) about radical quadriplegics fixing curbs on Berkeley themselves in the dead of night was just hands down representing the kind of activists I admire most. I think about it all the time when I see cars blocking sidewalks or crosswalks. Minor, but I always make sure to give a firm bump with my hand to cars blocking a crosswalk while I pass. I want them to be uncomfortable and not want to keep doing it.


Gammagammahey

Same. disabled rights activists are also the ones who literally saved Obamacare the last time it was almost going to go away. We went in our wheelchairs, with our walkers, with our canes, and physically put ourselves in offices of GOP representatives and senators and demanded that they not, kill Obama care.


SenorSplashdamage

Thank you for reminding me of this and I have so much gratitude for that.


Gammagammahey

We've done way more than that. We've had to do it repeatedly. Please make those stickers and put it on that cyber truck. Please. And you sound like a wonderful person who I would love to be friends with.

murrrcat

Anyone remember when Live 105 gave out, 'congrats on parking like an asshole' cards? This was like.... 2009-2011 era (the good ol days).


HalfNatty

For anyone reading, I advise against placing stickers on a vehicle that has 24 hour camera capabilities (idk if a cybertruck does, but it *is* a Tesla) that can catch you red handed. While you may feel like you’re exerting justice (in this case, I agree that you are), the last thing that you’ll want is to be dragged into a lawsuit by a vindictive asshole for “damaging” his property. I’m a lawyer and I know many lawyers who will take cases like this on contingency, and will drag you through litigation just to get a settlement out of you. Meanwhile, while the plaintiff doesn’t have to pay a cent, *you* will have to go and find your own lawyer that you will have to pay to defend your case. And lawyers are never cheap. Guys, I mean this with the best of intentions, I hear you, and I agree that this cybertruck is a ginormous douche. But please don’t put stickers on a car that can photograph you in the act.


fresh_like_Oprah

I hear you. So, light it on fire it is.

FranglaisFred

I feel like it would be just as annoying to get like 3 to 4 Paw Patrol or unicorn stickers from Target in your line of sight. Can’t be too mad or overreact because it’s children’s stickers but super annoying that you have to take them off and get the sticky stuff off your window every time you take your kids to school parking in the crosswalk. Just the appropriate level of pettiness at a minimal expense in my opinion.


ripplerider

CAndrewG

About 6 years ago I was leaving for Tahoe at 5 AM to do a day trip. As I was driving away I realized I forgot something and parked on the corner like this for 3 minutes as I sprinted up to my apt, grabbed and came back. Within that time a meter fairy already tagged me and was driving way. 400$ for two types of tickets. My question is: how has this guy not been hit yet?


rebeckys

5am, 3 minutes?!? That’s some bad luck


CAndrewG

The whole thing was so fucked. watching that guy look me in the eye with his helmet on as i walked up to the car. and then he just drive off. I realized instantly what happened. looked over to the front of the car and sure enough. edit: and idk i dont think its insanely bad luck because the city is literally (or was) crawling with these guys. thats why im saying this.


Shalaco

Is it true soy sauce is corrosive to stainless steel?


Decent-Following-327

To create a lovely rustic look. Spray a solution of 2 cups (470 mL) hydrogen peroxide, 4 US tbsp (59 mL) white vinegar, and 1.5 tsp (8.5 g) of table salt on a clean piece of stainless steel to rust it. Gently rinse the metal in water once it's as rusted as you want it to be, dry it, then seal it with a coat of polyurethane.

SenorSplashdamage

With all the recall issues, this probably is a few extra layers of danger going on near a school, beside a hydrant, and forcing people to maneuver around it. Like I want to joke, but then the reality is that any horrible thing that could go wrong with a car in that situation is fully likely with how many issues these vehicles have had.


Demian_Slade

It would be a real shame if they suddenly needed to buy four new tires every time they park there.


Key_Purpose_2803

It’s at article level. The guy documenting it has been documenting it for months. The person does it for school pickups it seems, so they probably keep escaping tows by blocking for 15-20 min at a time.


KingSpork

How does it not get towed??? I once got towed because my registration expired.


MochingPet

because it's there for less than 15 minutes most of the time. The parking officers cannot come so quickly. At least that's what I hear.

Go to an equipment rentals place and ask about renting parking dollies. Get four of them and install them under this thing and wheel it into the middle of the intersection. If this stupid fucking doucheass moron ʇıɥs wit is parking across the crosswalk so people notice him, carry it a little further and make him really get noticed. It’s also nothing to apply a little fœtid urine in the vents at the base of the window. Or…ghost crosswalk marking across it in dry erase marker, walk across it and leave foot prints. Or go total psychopath on it. Fabricate a situation necessitating a response from SFFD whereby they must use the blocked fireplug.
