Dude owns a Tesla (yes I know, but he's chill I promise, just a bit of a tech bro, surprisingly good politics despite it), and apparently they're offering free Cyber Truck rentals to all Tesla owners to entice them to buy one.

He decided to do it as a bit despite thinking they're dumb as hell. What should we do with it?

i probably wouldn't do anything with it as i'd be too afraid of getting it damaged and then owing hella fees to the rental place. actually maybe that's why it's free, bc they know everyone wants to key these fuckers and then they can charge you for it thinking-about-it

Yeah, "rent" the worlds most recalled vehicle? This is a scam to leave your friend holding the bag on a shit car they can't move.

Sorry, bud, the truck came back slightly damaged ^[factory new cybertruck] and the contract states you now have to buy it from us.

Seriously, READ THE CONTRACT THOROUGHLY or DONT DO IT AT ALL

Slice vegetables with the sharp metal edges

The sharp edges are the vegetable peeler function. The automatic closing trunk is for slicing.

Do a tear down for vulnerabilities. Figure out the exact angles of camera coverage. Document any default passwords for WiFi or Bluetooth or whatever. If it does have built in wifi, run a port scan or whatever. look for jtag interfaces and dump any firmware you can.

Don't drive it anywhere. Just do silly videos for tiktok or youtube. Use it as a prop for satire.

A couple ideas come to mind:

  1. Offroading. Ramp a sand dune or some shit.
  2. Hauling a shit ton of weight and fuck up the springs because of it.

Caveat: these may be against the agreement, so make sure you can't be sued for doing whatever it is you do

Hauling a lot of weight will probably rip something off of it if not split it in half.

If you absolutely have to, watch anime in the front seat on the screen and nothing else.

I'm sure there's questionable places to park the CyberTruck and, ya' know, let nature take its course.
