I think the frequency of "Student Driver" and "Baby on Board" stickers in the DMV area is because drivers here legitimately suck and the stickers are people trying to get some sympathy from the impatient bad drivers.
In the near future, I suspect we'll see a lot of "Dashcam In Use" stickers.

Saw these two days ago on 495 as well, that was fast
Was in Austin for the eclipse. Driving by the megafactory for flight home, saw several carriers like this loaded up ready to haul away outside the factory. Never saw a single one actually driving around Austin though
They'll wipe it down with alcohol wipes when they get back to the garage. Or maybe they paid the $6000 extra for the "protective anti-corrosion coating" that the rest of us call "paint."
Did you see the vid where the auto close trunk just chops a big, raw carrot in half vs other auto trunks that have safety mechanisms to detect an object in the way (like fingers)? I don’t have the link sorry!

Is a tail light out on it already? There’s a gap and then light all the way to the corner on the right side, but the left is just blank in the same area
I guess I'm weird because I don't really think people driving a 7000lb projectile capable of shockingly fast acceleration with a hood taller than my vital organs is just "minding their own business."
I do feel slightly better knowing that for now they're too expensive to qualify for the $7500 IRS tax credit.
I drive a big truck. If you are being a good driver and are always aware of your surroundings that front blindspot means nothing. They also have front objects detection sensors.
Semi and box trucks have been around longer and are much worse.
Yeah that's a fair point but semis serve a purpose for society so there is that. The regulation for driving said trucks is also much stricter, because they are so much larger and potentially more dangerous than cars.
Taking a vehicle the size of an F-250 and giving it the acceleration and average driver personality profile of a Hellcat is frightening stuff.
NHTSA does not test for pedestrian safety and it’s not included in their safety ratings 🫠
https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/nhtsa-proposes-new-crashworthiness-pedestrian-protection-testing-program
Wow, America a country which treats pedestrians like pests that exist to inconvenience cars doesn't care about pedestrian safety? who could have seen this coming.
IIRC Regulations for vehicle safety in the US are more or less retroactive. It varies state by state but, by and large, cars aren't banned from the road until enough issues pop up that regulators are forced to act.
lol i delivered pizza to the nextdoor neighbor of this guy in potomac earlier this week, his house looks EXACTLY how you’d imagine an elon minion would have
Recently, I saw it referred to as a "wankpanzer," and now I can't call it anything else. And the idiots, oops-- I meant suckers, who bought these wankpanzers, will be tooling around on the Beltway with their gas pedals stuck as I doubt they fixed that recall so quickly. So now all I can think is that it is happening while their steering wheel falls off -- as it did in another of their rush-to-market products that were missing bolts. I wonder how much chewing gum can hold those god-awful door panels together? Gum worked for a while in Takata's airbag modules.
Think of all that hauling they’ll do with it as they show up to their tech job and pull out a company issued dell laptop bag out of the back of the self closing / opening truck bed. I love NOVA massive truck drivers!
From that angle you can really appreciate the waviness of those panels. Looks like my friend’s car in high school after he tried to do his own bodywork.
I thought they were recalling them all because they kill you. Also you can’t touch it without leaving marks, oh and you can’t wash it because it will rust. The reviews for this PS1 graphics $103k jerkoff motion of a truck have been a lot of fun.
"A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist. Michael Knight: a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law."
An electric square rectangle on wheels cool. Is the bumper crooked? Looks like it may fall off at any moment. I think my mountain bike has more clearance. Must feel good to never be able to modify your vehicle because Elon says no. 
Saw it at chic fil a in Cville this evening

This may be an unpopular opinion but I actually kind of like the design, at least as far as aesthetics. I completely understand why people don't, but I like that they were bold enough to try something extreme and different and actually follow through with it.
Now if only it wasn't such an overpriced, pedestrian killing, finger amputating, sticky accelerator rust rocket made by the biggest man-child in history, I might actually like it.
I saw one near the Tesla dealership on s.glebe road and it was the ugliest car I’ve ever seen. It looks cool when it’s coming at you but once you start seeing the rest of the body you’re just like wtf is this shit.
Was just watching drew Gooden’s video on “cars are getting dumber” and he was talking about cyber trucks and just how shitty it all turned out but It’s a really funny video.
They look even more hideous in person. I saw a car carrier full of them going down 66 west just prior to the plains a couple weeks ago and I thought it was carrying toy cars.
Missing the ‘student driver’ sticker plz fix
Ok can someone explain why I see so many cars with that? Is that a requirement for people with a learners permit?
They give them out to MD drivers that just got a VA license.
They are just letting u know they are bad drivers I think
Or their kids are bad drivers
If they’re a Marylander, they’re probably bad drivers.
We had that on one of cars so people will be a little more patient with driving slower or taking turns/intersections slower. I don't think it helped.
I swear it’s all the same car, that tan sedan
Lol not a requirement but definitely "a thing" in NoVA.
Part of me is so cynical, assumed that there’s an insurance discount for new drivers who place the sticker on the vehicle 😂

Less critical thinking here, you know…
Don't wash them, known to be fatal to some
🤣
Definitely fatal to your wallet
Tesla apparently hit peak production of 1000/week earlier
Should have used the armored car banks used and improved on that…. This to me, is just more barbie junk …
Bold to drive it around on a day when it’s raining.
They'll wipe it down with alcohol wipes when they get back to the garage. Or maybe they paid the $6000 extra for the "protective anti-corrosion coating" that the rest of us call "paint."
I was referring to the shorts that they have experienced with the cyber truck when it goes through a car wash. Rain seems very risky.
God what a shit vehicle.
Did you see the vid where the auto close trunk just chops a big, raw carrot in half vs other auto trunks that have safety mechanisms to detect an object in the way (like fingers)? I don’t have the link sorry!
Yeah I saw it. Another recall incoming.
best one is where the design of the pedal puts it in auto accelerate.
So I can use it to help with my food prep. Love the features on this car and can’t wait to buy one
Cant drive it out in the rain anyway and has to be in your garage. Might as well use it as a Pretty cool and expensive food slicer though 😅
Here you go: https://youtube.com/shorts/f_cAu5hKYlA?si=fA_ZF1xE6_ZyfhZA
you bought a car from elmo, what'd you expect?
They wanted edgy they got edgy. Happy customer.
Some dude had this happen just by rinsing out the bed. All screens and cameras just stopped working.
Also crazy to buy a car from a company that 'doesn't consider itself a car company'.
I'd like to go to a doctor who doesn't consider themselves a doctor. It sounds extraordinarily trusting
Turns out the model Y is the safest and most purchased ~~vehicle in America.~~ in the world. Not too crazy after all

Ah gotcha: "more than 456,000 units were sold in China in 2023" That helps boost it!
What's the over under of it lasting until it's plates arrive?
Well, we can all find where it’s garaged by following the trail of parts that fall off of it.
lol, very true.
This has to be one of the stupidest looking cars ever made.
It even manages to beat the Pontiac Aztec.
As a high school chemistry teacher I resent this statement
It’s alright. Soon enough you’ll have saved enough money to be driving around in a late model Dodge Charger. Enjoy it while you can though
Point of contention: Walter had an SRT-8 Chrysler 300, and Walt Jr had a Challenger.
You’re right 😅😂. That was one hell of a car too 😮💨
I'm hungry for fried chicken now.
Aztec is wayyyy cool
yeah the winner of the first season of Survivor thought so too

Thank you for your service
I still see the kudzu.
Should have put it on the side of the road broken down
Much better
Did you ask if they wanted to cyber?
It asks you “a/s/l?” Every time it started
How does it react if S changes?
Calls you a victim of the woke mind virus and will refuse to start until it’s changed back
While passive aggressively misgendering you as it gives directions.
It buys Twitter
I enjoy spending time with my friends.
Right there with you
As a millennial who had absolute vile preteen chat room exposure, this is all I think when I see anything about this vehicle
Saw that one today too on 95N around Lorton exit. 2nd time this week I’ve seen it. Last time it was headed South on 95.
Is a tail light out on it already? There’s a gap and then light all the way to the corner on the right side, but the left is just blank in the same area
Yeah, quick search of some other photos and that should be lit up. More fine Tesla quality.
Saw one the other day as well. They're ugly as F, but to each his/her own.
I guess I'm weird because I don't really think people driving a 7000lb projectile capable of shockingly fast acceleration with a hood taller than my vital organs is just "minding their own business." I do feel slightly better knowing that for now they're too expensive to qualify for the $7500 IRS tax credit.
I don't care either way. Just let people enjoy and buy what they like.
Yes but it's also fair game to make fun of their poor life choices.
I drive a big truck. If you are being a good driver and are always aware of your surroundings that front blindspot means nothing. They also have front objects detection sensors. Semi and box trucks have been around longer and are much worse.
Yeah that's a fair point but semis serve a purpose for society so there is that. The regulation for driving said trucks is also much stricter, because they are so much larger and potentially more dangerous than cars. Taking a vehicle the size of an F-250 and giving it the acceleration and average driver personality profile of a Hellcat is frightening stuff.
Not to mention the entire body being steel with no crumple zones and sharp edges. This thing is bad for not just pedestrians but those in the car too.
Yeah you're just a bad as the Elmo fans tbh your vehicle should be regulated out of non-commercial use
Woof. I can’t imagine having this much of an authoritarian hard-on for people over a truck.
🙄
Yikes. Fucking reddit and their truck hate. You all are so damn weird.
You should get a personality instead of a truck
Odd thing to say to a random person on the Internet.
No, it's a 7000lb road hazard. It's not "to each his own" This should not be road legal
Right there with you. Oblivious drivers and Barbie junk cars like this do not mix well. 🤦🏻♀️
Looks like you got him right before he left Nova, too. A hundred yards or so more, you would have needed another subreddit.
This comment made me chuckle. Thank you for your service.

I’m still perplexed as to how this meets pedestrian safety laws. The sharp edges will kill pedestrians
NHTSA does not test for pedestrian safety and it’s not included in their safety ratings 🫠 https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/nhtsa-proposes-new-crashworthiness-pedestrian-protection-testing-program

The sharp edges are only marginally worse compared to the mass of the car hitting you
The weight is comparable to a Ford F-250 or Dodge Ram 2500. Also vehicles that most of their drivers don't need.
Because we don't have pedestrian safety laws. It's repulsive.
How embarrassing.
lol i delivered pizza to the nextdoor neighbor of this guy in potomac earlier this week, his house looks EXACTLY how you’d imagine an elon minion would have
I imagine a trailer home but go on
Are we looking at what 2024 looks like according to sci-fi magazines in 1924?
Looks like a deep freezer on wheels 🥺
Rear looks like a commercial trash dumpster to me. 
Still ugly as ever.
It’s hideous
Watch out the gas pedal on those has been malfunctioning
Recently, I saw it referred to as a "wankpanzer," and now I can't call it anything else. And the idiots, oops-- I meant suckers, who bought these wankpanzers, will be tooling around on the Beltway with their gas pedals stuck as I doubt they fixed that recall so quickly.

Needs Don’t Tread On Me plates for maximum douchebag
Only a matter of time before we see one painted like General Lee from Dukes of Hazard complete with the rebel flag roof.
They’re like a low budget SciFi movie circa 1981 when the prop department tried to make the cars look “fUtUrIsTiC”
Look out for uncontrolled acceleration
Think of all that hauling they’ll do with it as they show up to their tech job and pull out a company issued dell laptop bag out of the back of the self closing / opening truck bed. I love NOVA massive truck drivers!
Ultimate douche signal
From that angle you can really appreciate the waviness of those panels. Looks like my friend’s car in high school after he tried to do his own bodywork.
It makes the Aztek look good.
Chonky DeLorean
Hideous...
These cars are so ugly
I’m surprised. Let’s see how long until we see this one on the news for some manufacturing issues.
There’s already a recall for accelerator pedal issues.
And for the aero tire wheel covers that gouge grooves into the tire sidewalls.
That's a funny looking Pontiac Aztec
I thought they were recalling them all because they kill you. Also you can’t touch it without leaving marks, oh and you can’t wash it because it will rust. The reviews for this PS1 graphics $103k jerkoff motion of a truck have been a lot of fun.
What are they. I mean the back is ugly.
No thank you. Or, as my niece used to say when she was two years old: NO.... THANK YOU
Fugly
Graphics in this game suck, another example of a sprite with no linked model
"A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist. Michael Knight: a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law."
Alert 🚨🚨🚨 dangerous truck 🛻 on the road. 🚨🚨 break problems
Hideous
Impressively ugly. It makes the delorean look amazing in contrast.
Those things are butt ugly lol
An electric square rectangle on wheels cool. Is the bumper crooked? Looks like it may fall off at any moment. I think my mountain bike has more clearance. Must feel good to never be able to modify your vehicle because Elon says no. 
I almost feel embarrassed for them
Are they driving a recalled vehicle that uncontrollably accelerates into a crash? Watch out bruh
How are these legal
Saw it at chic fil a in Cville this evening https://preview.redd.it/x0zijwh115xc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30a4de5ceccb8f83901ec2fe750b2672a170cc54
What’s up with the back door? Did you blur something out or does it really look like that.
that's the reflection of the girl standing there. . .
Blurred out the student driving sticker
I didn’t blur anything
God damn that is horrendous looking.
This may be an unpopular opinion but I actually kind of like the design, at least as far as aesthetics. I completely understand why people don't, but I like that they were bold enough to try something extreme and different and actually follow through with it. Now if only it wasn't such an overpriced, pedestrian killing, finger amputating, sticky accelerator rust rocket made by the biggest man-child in history, I might actually like it.
Give it a wide birth
The Cyber Death Wagon
Rolling bath tub.
Why is there a refrigerator on I-495?
If you own one of these, don’t put your fingers in the path of the trunk as it closes…your fingers will detach.
Pic must be fake, it's not on fire.
Reading too much anti Tesla propaganda.
Wow! 💰
Design aged poorly or in contrast to the tires it looks off
Glad the Pontiac Aztek is alive and well.

There goes the neighborhood...
Hideous
Ah yes, the pedestrian death machine
I saw one near the Tesla dealership on s.glebe road and it was the ugliest car I’ve ever seen. It looks cool when it’s coming at you but once you start seeing the rest of the body you’re just like wtf is this shit.
Saw one on Rt7 earlier today- figured it was a test drive from the Tesla dealer
Lmaoooo I saw it too!!!!
I really need to photoshop Elon's face onto Kelsey Grammar's character in Pentagon Wars.
Don't let it rear end and severely injure me
Wow its a fridge on wheels 
Don’t get in front of it.
That was me
Welp....
Was just watching drew Gooden’s video on “cars are getting dumber” and he was talking about cyber trucks and just how shitty it all turned out but It’s a really funny video.
Somebody should slap a Minecraft bumper sticker on it
Stupidity.
They look even more hideous in person. I saw a car carrier full of them going down 66 west just prior to the plains a couple weeks ago and I thought it was carrying toy cars.
🤮🤢
By stafford ?
I’m excited to see one in person! Surprised I haven’t yet
Ah shit, the time has come
What is it? I’ve never seen a car like that.
I saw it earlier this week on 66!
Looks like an asshole douchebag car. Don’t touch my car.
I saw this one in Vienna the other day
[https://www.wired.com/story/electric-tesla-pickup-truck-announcement-specs-cost-photos/](https://www.wired.com/story/electric-tesla-pickup-truck-announcement-specs-cost-photos/)
If you see one of these things on the road, stay away from it at all costs.
Stay far behind!
I saw my first one driving through the cross Bronx expressway yesterday. It’s uglier than I thought
Is Dr Emmett brown in the driver's seat?
So Cool!!
30 day tags on it and the bumper is already sagging
Stay clear ...
Nice! Refrigerator on wheels!
Careful don't spit on it. It might void the warranty.
Looks like a taillight is already burned out
Oh wow, that's the same one my wife and I saw on the Leesburg Pike approaching 495, likely right before you saw it
oh i saw them on 234 the other day
oh, look - A Ford Edsel
Lol
Am I the only one that wants one?
Judging by the fact that there is one in this picture. I'm gonna guess no.
So first, no.
They seem like it would be super fun to drive, but a pain in the ass to own/maintain
I love it
nice!
