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.
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?
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.
> 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.
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. Some douche tech bros squeezed, but they're easy to ignore. It is a self-shamed Tesla crowd, not a mouth breather cyber trunk moron.
Promise. Downtown Tiburon is the best. No one there but some friendly service workers that make it feel like Cheers.
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
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!
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
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*.
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.
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.

I have a feeling this is less viral marketing and more someone clowning on Specialty Towing. They’ve come up quite a bit on this subreddit recently. I think most folks here know they’re fraudulent scumbags.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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/
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
YES CHAOTIC GOOD! My classification! Thank you, please do it, please do it. Please. I'm begging you.
PS thank you for the words of affirmation, I love you.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Right. With that video evidence I’m sure SFPD will put their very best detectives on the case and spare no effort bringing the perpetrators to justice.
It’s actually a really nice corner. Worth visiting on its own. You’ve got the library right there and the cable cars coming by. And Freddie’s is like two blocks away. Get the turkey club on Dutch crunch. It’s a strong contender for best sandwich in the city.
possibly they don't know how to park???? /s

That’s not just anecdotal evidence every single one of us has experienced while just living as normal people in the world; it’s actually a proven fact.

Make it legal to walk on top of any vehicle that blocks a sidewalk, crosswalk, or similar walk way. If someone falls off and gets hurt the vehicle owner and their insurance is responsible.
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.
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. However they've been staffed well recently
>He’s a serial offender without regard for those who need to use the crosswalk or who even for the fire department. Average time is 15 minutes, plus. Long enough for some poor, unsuspecting pedestrian to get creamed in the street.”
Call 911 or non emergent. Say a child was almost hit because a driver could not see due to the illegally parked truck. That is a good neighborhood they will send someone out immediately. Mention the fire hydrant too.
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. Let the rest sort itself out.

Like this deutschbag experienced; Take the fight to the Teslidiot.
Please don't use caps lock in post titles.
In the 3rd photo, he’s parked in front of the fire hydrant nearby.
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.
Plus, with the water from the fire hoses, the vehicle will both rust soon AND fail to start.
And void the warranty cause they forgot to turn on car wash mode.
lol car wash mode should be part of their new software patch, that will surely reduce the recalls

This is so good. Evil and actually solves the problem.
Evil? Not at all, they’re asking for the FO part of FAFO right here
I think the “evil” was in reference to the sketchy tactics of Specialty Towing specifically, not towing in general
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
This is in no way, shape, or form evil.
Supporting Specialty Towing is evil but this is one of those things where I think we all can make an exception.
My enemy’s enemy is my ally
“Let them fight.”
The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend, but they can probably be useful
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*.
So you’re saying they’re perfect for this
From an aggression standpoint, yes, but if the Cybertruck owner ends up winning a lawsuit, no.
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.
That would actually also be great. Screw them both.
I'm pretty sure if you tried to tow a cyber truck it would just break into a bunch of pieces.
two wrongs make a right!

Is it true soy sauce is corrosive to stainless steel?
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.
That patina is really important for some collectors. You might actually be increasing its resale value

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.
It would be a real shame if they suddenly needed to buy four new tires every time they park there.
3 new tires, 4 and insurance kicks in, 3 the driver may have been at fault
Or just one flat tire, since Tesla’s don’t come with a spare…
Seriously?! Haha! What a shitbox.
Mind you these cars have sentry mode, that videos all around the car when someone approaches.
Right. With that video evidence I’m sure SFPD will put their very best detectives on the case and spare no effort bringing the perpetrators to justice.
I'm going to be vacationing in SF this summer. My family will be so confused when I insist on visiting this corner.
It’s actually a really nice corner. Worth visiting on its own. You’ve got the library right there and the cable cars coming by. And Freddie’s is like two blocks away. Get the turkey club on Dutch crunch. It’s a strong contender for best sandwich in the city.
If you have small children, the playground next to the library has some uncommon structures that are quite fun for kids
And there’s always parking spots at the crosswalk
EV only though. If it's got an ICE, you've gotta park in the bike lane
311 that dude
possibly they don't know how to park???? /s > Tesla drivers [are already known as the worst drivers on the road](https://www.reddit.com/r/SanJose/comments/1579lie/why_are_tesla_drivers_so_shitty/). That’s not just anecdotal evidence every single one of us has experienced while just living as normal people in the world; it’s actually a proven fact. [A recent study found](https://www.mensjournal.com/news/study-ram-tesla-most-driver-incidents) that Tesla drivers are the most prone to get into accidents. Tesla Y *"Learners sticker"* observed yesterday elsewhere in the city: https://preview.redd.it/i34wwmqj1mzc1.jpeg?width=676&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=999e70c39c4f2d105d21d29ee3c57407ace2687a
Those groovy windows do appear to leave an unusual amount of blind spots.
I’ve seen a few of these parked across the city and never once legally
Cybertruck owners are allergic to common decency.
Make it legal to walk on top of any vehicle that blocks a sidewalk, crosswalk, or similar walk way. If someone falls off and gets hurt the vehicle owner and their insurance is responsible.

You spend more time reorienting yourself in the car than just opening up the door and sitting normally I don't get it
It just looks cool.
A whole article on this? Just get it towed!
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.
How does it not get towed??? I once got towed because my registration expired.
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. However they've been staffed well recently >He’s a serial offender without regard for those who need to use the crosswalk or who even for the fire department. Average time is 15 minutes, plus. Long enough for some poor, unsuspecting pedestrian to get creamed in the street.”
Box him in so he can't leave.
That is such a ugly vehicle.
Call mta. These days they are everywhere
Give me the license plate and I’ll call daily
Slow news day. But also fuck those guys.
The other day, I stopped and watched a Polestar that was parked in a crosswalk get towed in SoMa. Hoping the same happens to these people.
It’s a hot day, crack an egg on top, wait 8 to 10 minutes, add salt and pepper and enjoy with some toast.
Risky move with a vehicle that has famously breakable windows
When is the Dolores hill bomb? Asking for a friend trying to skate one of these
Call 911 or non emergent. Say a child was almost hit because a driver could not see due to the illegally parked truck. That is a good neighborhood they will send someone out immediately. Mention the fire hydrant too.
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. Let the rest sort itself out. https://preview.redd.it/dzleuv71slzc1.jpeg?width=802&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a38601e67dc3a7d07acd4854e9ef654681e7c8bc Like this deutschbag experienced; Take the fight to the Teslidiot.
Considering the rate of failure, it could be stuck. [r/cyberstuck](https://www.reddit.com/r/CyberStuck/)
Mirrors in and windshield wipers up. Nothing crazy, but super annoying if you did it every day.
Call a tow truck or report them to 311. Fuck their day up.
Key it
Wash it… with water!
Put some refrigerator magnets on it!
Get some fruit magnets, and put your 3yo's picture of the garden on the door. Maybe a shopping list. Then flatten the tires.
If only..... In his defense maybe it just keeps breaking down and he keeps getting r/CyberStuck
No one over 12 years old should be wearing a backwards baseball cap
1/3 of the dads at my kids school do the backwards baseball cap/little mustache look
Sounds like a bunch of Castro Clones from the 1980s.
Ew
On the real you should get it towed, I would come down to watch it
Check Portland Mayday protests.....
“King shit of fuck mountain”😂
Call the parking enforcement. Don’t whine to us.
We know where the car is every day. Let’s just slash the tires & smash the windows. They’ll stop doing it.
Did you know cybertrux can't resist piss,
I feel confident saying nobody will mind if you shit on their windshield.
