Tesla's Cybertruck delivery turned bloody for one owner. A seemingly minor scrape on the truck's panel sliced their wrist open.

A Tesla owner’s dream of taking his new Cybetruck for a spin turned into a nightmare. He landed in the emergency room with blood spurting from a wrist wound before even getting behind the wheel.

    The Cybertruck deemed him unworthy. Only the most based may ride the greatest vehicle in all of human history, if not the history of the universe.

        I’ve read a short story with similar theme from mostly unknown local author. It was called something like “vampire car” and the car did not use fuel, but blood from the driver’s foot instead. Due to this it was unbelievably fast, but deadly.

            I’ve heard of it, but did not read it (yet). The story I wrote about was from early 60s, which made it quite unique IMO.

              Christine is a good read. Not to take away from your referenced story, but especially if you like king, Christine slaps

                I really like what I’ve read from him, although it wasn’t that much. Book of some short horror stories and The Stand, which was really amazing (to the point I watched that mediocre TV series with Gary Sinise, which was quite let down after the book). I’ve also recently got Under the Dome, so that’ll be my next read I think.

                  I really like Under the Dome to the point of not minding the TV adaptations.

                  If you like the Stand, you’ll probably like most King (although thats probably one of his best.) The biggest criticism is that he’s long winded - which can definitely be true, but I think most of his fans appreciate that. (I’m reading one of his covid books, Fairy Tale. Its been good but I’m over 1/4 through and “the thing” is only just now maybe beginning to happen lmao.

                    I don’t mind long winded books as long as it’s still interesting read with things happening. I’m really looking forward to reading this.
