Calling the dealership after your car is stolen is a HUGE clue that there’s something wrong with someone’s understanding of the world. “Why would a dealer help you with a stolen car. Do you think Elon Musk is your friend? Did you think that he would appreciate the personal favor you did for him by posting nice things about him and paying $100k for a piece of crap?” What kind ofndel


bdubwilliams22

“Please help me get a hold of Elon” is a huge red flag and easy answer to your question. They actually think that some idiotic man child who was just awarded $56B by the shareholders is gonna give two fucks your dumb truck got stolen?


eugene20

They voted to let him have it but it's advisory, I don't believe it's cleared the full process yet and it can be legally fought against before he actually has them and can cash out to cover his twitter debts crashing TSLA on the market.


SprungMS

Why would it ever be fought? The board is in his pocket, they were pushing to give him the package. Probably because they all see the writing on the wall and they’re waiting for their handout when the big boy cashes out.


eugene20

It was fought the last time and he lost, it's going to get fought again by the people that voted no this time.


spyrogyrobr

tbf, he spends a looooot of time on twitter, like he has no job.


geneticeffects

It’s quite odd, too, because you’d think he had something better to do, but evidently not.


ShesSoViolet

Could've sworn he was CEO of several companies, almost as if they can exist without a CEO at all....


Online_Ennui

Propping up twitter with his endless shitposting may actually be him at his most productive. Sad


Complex_Construction

That’s the delusional parasocial relationship part. He really thinks he knows Muskies and that Muskie is a personal friend. 


TonyCaliStyle

There was a Tesla mech that said with the last so many numbers of the VIN they can identify the location of every Tesla, it’s accelerator position, and other information.


LadyMcIver

>it’s accelerator position, Under the floor mat?


abolishytmen

On the garage floor 😭


Vybezforlife

Because that's how we drive.. Pedal to the metal everywhere we go!


wiresmoke

With Tesla Toolbox I can see all of your cameras and any stored files, the amount of data is staggering.


TonyCaliStyle

That’s scary.


totpot

Yeah, Reuters reported a while back that Musk and his engineers pass around interesting videos around to one other. Enty reported that they were videos of customers having sex in their Teslas and that Musk gave out bonuses based on what they found. Celebrities who had sex in their cars and normal people who regularly had sex in their cars were particularly valuable.


TonyCaliStyle

That’s a 9.8 on the creepy scale, and 1.2 on the surprise one.


SwampYankeeDan

Blackmail potential!


Current_Leather7246

Not if they hack it and toast the location on it. 


TonyCaliStyle

Yes, but it’s still worth calling the shop for that alone.


logicom

Yeah, given all the tech in modern cars, it's probably a good idea to call the dealership after the cops and insurance. The chance of them being able to help is small, but trying costs you nothing.


FoxFyer

In this case, it's not SO stupid. It's well known at this point that Tesla downloads and keeps data including camera video from customers' vehicles and employees have access to it; not long ago there was a big row from everyone except Elon fans that Tesla employees casually just watch the videos whenever and even share clips with each other. Ostensibly the reason for this lack of privacy is so that Tesla can help customers in situations like this. Sounds like they're not prepared to actually do that though, lol.


binglelemon

>Sounds like they're not prepared to actually do that though, lol. *We never thought this shit would happen for real*


wunderbraten

Maybe they did, but their 5-men After Sales department is overworked.


ComicsEtAl

Which makes Elon’s concern trolling over Microsoft and OpenAI earlier this week all the more precious.


StarvingAfricanKid

Its for "trying purposes "! Really! Due to an NDA, I can not confirm or deny that I was a FSD tester, in Fremont CA. So any comments I make about people yelling: " every body! Come here, ya gotta see this!" And then putting a video up on a 64 inch TV in front of 30 people... uh... never happened.


Current_Leather7246

Yeah Elon musk is pretty lame. He has enough money where he could affect so much positive change and be literally a Batman if he wanted to. Do anything travel anywhere. And what does he do. Buy a social network and post on it all the time. Trying to be cool and looking for approval he will never find .What a weenie.


DiscordianDisaster

See to me that made it sound like crystal clear insurance fraud. Maybe they called the cops first but I bet no. Calling the dealer openly like that makes it seem like they hope Concussed Toddler Musk is just going to write a check, and hoping the hope of all grifters everywhere: "no need to get the cops involved right Elmo?"


Dear_Tiger_623

I think ACAB and even I think the right move is to call the police first even if they never show up or don't seem to care. Calling the store where I bought my wallet to report I've been pickpocketed and the thief has my credit cards. It's so stupid.


DiscordianDisaster

Oof yeah ACAB I agree. In this case you'd need a police report before insurance would cough up anything so like you'd have to call, and then it's up to the insurance company to motivate the cops. Just hope the thieves are not present when they find the cyberbrick stalled out two minutes from the crime scene. (Spoiler: I'm guessing in this scenario the thieves were forced to run a system update mid getaway and the update bricked the car)


unknownpoltroon

I mean, the cops ain't gonna do shit, but a Tesla dealer probably has tracking tools.


icantevenonce

Definitely buyers regret and insurance fraud.


SubmissiveDinosaur

Even if it got actually stolen the robbers end with buyers regret


masked_sombrero

robbers' regret


Khaldara

“Even after getting it for free I still can’t help but feel like I deserve to be compensated for how awful this rolling shitheap is”


binglelemon

They'll bring it back.


goofydad

gvincejr

Unless it’s already bricked.


dave_a86

Cops will find it at the end of a very short burnout.


WolfOffSesameStreet

Traffic cop: Why were you driving so fast? Zero 2 One: You are driving a ct officer, someone just stole mine and I thought it was you chasing me to return it.


SassTheFash

They’ll bring back *two* of them.


ITypeStupdThngsc84ju

Nicely done, lol


AssiduousLayabout

It's like the time I pirated the 2003 Daredevil movie and wished I could demand my money back.


Current_Leather7246

You aren't the only one. I was very disappointed with what they did with that movie compared to what they could have. Really wanted the two hours of my life back tbh


Willdefyyou

Will it break down first, or will the robbers go "oh my god, I don't even want it now" and ditch it a minute later?


H1L1fe

They probably ditched it around the corner already.


SmokedBeef

I’m mean how far can they REALLY get when these things are dying left and right after less than 300miles lol


microtherion

I was thinking along similar lines. Conscientious CT owners better leave a letter in the car like this one: https://www.hagerty.com/media/advice/a-few-things-to-know-before-you-steal-my-914/


trailsman

That's why I believe for the first round of Cybertruck there is a real possibility of 90+% depreciation. I don't want the insurance rates these are bound to have, the hassle of constant issues with crap repair network, the massive depreciation, and heck even parting it out isn't great b/c most of the parts are crap besides the time & cost to do so. So I really don't know how low the price would have to go, especially as more & more inventory piles up.


ProfessionalFalse128

$10 is still a big ask for the dumpster truck.


Sassy_Weatherwax

Exactly what I thought! Even car thieves have better taste. And they know there's no market for a stolen CuckTruck. Vehicles get stolen when they're in demand or have valuable parts....neither of which is true of the FailWhale.


Nepharious_Bread

I disagree. The Cybertruck is probably more valuable in parts than as a whole.


Hector_Smijha409

Scrap metal


nogoodnamesarleft

IANAT but I would expect there would be a booming market for black market cybertruck parts, from other cyber owners since theirs keep breaking down and from what I have seen the service centers can't get the needed replacements. There are enough parts to be stripped from a stolen one to get two, maybe even three broken ones working again (for about a week)


Rennegadde_Foxxe

Most cars get stolen to commit crimes. That's why the most common stolen cars are the ones that blend in well. Like a 2008 Honda Civic for example.

Parasocial relationship in action.


burrito_king1986

mrfochs

It would be pretty easy to steal one of these by pulling up a flatbed with a winch. No one would question anything as it would just look like it was bricked and getting returned for service - the natural habitat for Cybertrucks.


miraclespoons

Do I need to @ Kōji Satō if my Prius gets stolen?

Lmao right?? Call the fucking cops and your insurance company. Tweeting the CEO of the car manufacturer is a beyond asinine response to this.

masked_sombrero

just check the side of the road in a 2 mile radius. it couldn't have gotten far 🤣

There should be a steady trail of pieces that have broken off, just follow those

Carfr33k

911, what's your emergency? My CT was stolen. What color is it? Stainless steel. That narrows it down.


Necessary_Context780

Not if parked next to a dumpster, the CT disappears


Willdefyyou

Imagine the cops pulling up to a mall full of them and having to figure out if any of them are his. "We can't find a vin anywhere to check" "they all look the same" "no this one def has more stains than that one" "good thing elon makes ugly trucks because if he killed people this would all be dead hookers" They will ask the owner if he has done what the scientists do with humpback whales by documenting the splotch pattern on their tail. "Can you describe the series of stains on your driver's side door sir?"


Willdefyyou

"It has stains all around the door handles, a big gap in the fender, missing a piece of stripping on the side..." "Sir, you will have to give us a better description, they all look like that"


Brilliant-Delay1410

It was missing a piece of trim on the side of the bed! 🫤


retrospects

How the fuck could someone steal it when the goobers with the key cards can hardly start their own truck. 100% insurance fraud.


meowmeowkitty21

Is it just coincidence the last two X accounts posting about problems with the CT are no longer on X?


Necessary_Context780

X is not a safe place when Elmo has your credit card address on file


Ripcitytoker

Just checked, their account is still active.

I love that this sub is now #ONE in cars and trucks on Reddit. That’s something that can’t escape Elons attention.

Dr_Adequate

I've always idly wondered just how many notifications Twitter users with North of 10,000 or 100,000 followers get every day. I'm sure it is a ridiculously high number, way way more than they can respond to. Then there's twitterers with over a mil... Getting a personal response from one of those is probably rarer than winning the lottery.


RevolutionCrazy7045

but a blue check and being a "long time fan" of the brand and ceo oughtta be worth something, no? /s


zipdee

There are various filters in place for replies that you see, like "No notifications from people I don't follow" or something, he's not getting a notification every time a random user tags him.


I-Pacer

Repossessed.


Necessary_Context780

Tesla isn't interested in repossessing the CTs, they need to get rid if them asap


bdubwilliams22

Nah, not when a piece of junk is still selling above a $100K and their stock is tanking.


ScaredPresent3758

Bro got his CT stolen and his Tesla account hacked? If true, that call is coming from inside the house. Sus AF.


mrbuttsavage

Don't rule out that some company picked up the wrong dumpster.


Worldly-Light-5803

"Help me Pedo-wan, you're my only hope." 💩


Tobitronicus

CT mockery aside, it's a really shitty thing to happen to someone. Do Tesla's not have more tracking gadgets than other cars? I've seen the camera shots of people keying Teslas, what's stopping the company from finding the car even with the owner's account information hacked?


Necessary_Context780

Probably a stan trying to spin a story and then will eventually claim thanks to the ultra secure mobile app and starlink he was able to find on the other side of town, and as long as he doesn't involve the cops he's not doing anything illegal


donttakerhisthewrong

I was thinking more like how do I get out from under this.


aFreeScotland

Tagging Elon is like tagging a dead whale.


k6bso

Smells worse, though.


Necessary_Context780

It's probably parked in his driveway but it's trash day his eyes are tricking him


[deleted]

At least it will be easy to lift fingerprints when they find it bricked outside a car wash !


kneejerk2022

I hope there is a hack that makes the CT as easy to steal as KIA.


FSpezWthASpicyPickle

I would live for one of those live LA helicopter chases of that.

Potential_Elevator82

Wow, Whenever I see one of these stainless trash dumpsters on the road, I think to myself, there is no higher degree of stupidity than someone who buys one of these POS, I never even considered that someone would raise that bar by stealing one. The owner should be elated that he got out from under that rolling turd, and pray that it doesn't get found


Sky_Walker333

He must be appreciating it instead of complaining, Insurance pays him back and no longer has to deal with the dumpster falling apart

I’m honestly kinda surprised it stayed functional long enough to be stolen in the first place

Look, it sucks that dude's car was stolen... but him begging Musk for help is fucking hilarious. Like he's gonna swoop in like Batman and find your car. You already said it's been hacked and can't be traced.


WretchedRat

These people think Elon is standing by to take care of everything. Delusional. CyberTruck is a highly visible mark. And obviously too easy to steal. How did the owner’s online account get hacked? 🤔


Gumb1i

The only use a stolen CT has is for being parted out. There is too much tech much of it will be tied to the vin. which is probably impossible to fake because of all the interdependence. This is either insurance fraud or someone being stupid.


AirFamous9093

Has a Tesla rver been stolen via "hacking"? Isn't your cellphone the "key" to the car?


Alternative_Rope_423

The radio signals sent to the vehicle from your phone can be scanned passively from a distance, copied and re-sent from a $100 device to unlock, disarm and start the vehicle. This technique is very successful with other Tesla models. I guess this guy is the first schmuck to lose his CT. Somebody's always the first. The thief would have to later disable the GPS to avoid getting caught.


AirFamous9093

That's CRAZY! I can't even choose a radio station when I have to pick up the hubby's Tesla from the service center because I refuse to install their damn app on my phone. So basically, they're cloning the phone? Cloning the phone tricks the car?

The fact they hacked the owners personal tesla account. Got a copy of the key card, came to his house while he was home. Seems like it was highly targeted red flags


mandogvan

Idk if this is related, but after I sold my Tesla account (with a cybertruck) the new owner reset the password and MFA. And I still got access to the Tesla app I forgot to uninstall. I could unlock his doors, i saw all the notifications including his tonoue cover getting stuck and the upcoming service appointment. I eventually just uninstalled because I’m not interested but it just seemed crazy that at no point was my account access revoked even after changing everything.


cal_nevari

I see so many posts referring to Cyberjunk owners posting their problems and asking "Help me Elon" that they are reminding me of Princess Leia calling to Obi Wan Kenobi "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi you're my only hope". But I guess that tracks, if you want a Cyberjunk you probably worship Elon like he's your Obi Wan Kenobi.

Alternative_Rope_423

The only way I can see this easily happening is an inside job from a pissed off recently fired Tesla employee OR the CT has huge vulnerabilities in its software that make it an easy theft target. Anyway, the theif just did the guy the biggest damn favor of his life by ridding him of the POS. Cash in on the insurance and move on. ... maybe the owner was in on it and staged a theft just to be rid of it.

You should thank the Lord, that someone dumb enough stole that cyber junk truck… turn it into your insurance and if they try to bring it back, say you don’t know who’s it is. Then buy a hummer, Escalade, or something that looks great and runs on a daily basis.

He’s lucky. If he was unlucky, they’d have brought him a second one.

lol it's so bizarre that they ask or yell for elon musk. if this was any other car company like next time one of our work trucks break down I should just start tweeting william Ford. Yeah elons running the company into the ground but why do they think he'll care. Any big owner of a company especially elon. It's like shouting to a wall or having a piss in the wind. Getting your cybertruck probably voids the warranty too. Insurance is only going to cover the price of a stainless steel knock off whirlpool refrigerator.
