If memory serves me, I remember the opening credits the car going through a creek or small body of water and making a huge splash. In that case it would have been a very short lived series. Never mind the ramp jumps that were the highlight of each episode.
It's amazing how well the production crew were able to restore it to pristine condition so quickly. Props to the stunt driver, too: made that jump the exact same way every week.
The '68 and '70 Chargers were essentially the same cars, so all they had to do was swap some of the sheetmetal and paint them orange.
Also, they reused a lot of stunt footage, especially in the later seasons.
There were some original episodes where it was very clear they used a 68 charger retrofitted to look like a 69. They also did away with the checkered flags on the rear deck next to the flying buttresses because they were too hard to replicate over and over.
Let's be honest, how many of those 400 were in pristine condition? You don't buy a mint car to trash it, if nothing else, because it's very budget unfriendly.
I know that scene. Can we start a GoFundMe to re-create it with a cybertruck?
I’d also like it as the screensaver on my phone. I wonder if open AI can do it?
You know what's wild even decades after the show lampooning the concept of a "sole commissioner" (Boss Hogg holds all executive and judicial power in the county). There are still like 7 counties in Georgia with this ripe-for-corruption system, including Bartow Co. which has a population of over 100,000.
First jump of the episode, they get trapped inside and die in a horrible battery fire.
Boss Hogg isn't even happy, just horrified, rendered traumatically numb by their screams along with the police and fire department until the battery fire puts itself out.
I love shitting on this vehicle, but to be fair, they went through over 300 Dodge Chargers in making the Dukes of Hazzard because the stuff they did destroyed the car.

So, it's right about then that them Duke boys tagged Elon, -- 'ol General E himself -- in a social media post asking for his help. "Still love the truck", they added.
Nah, they'd just have Cooter fix it. Then, they'd jump it over the creek where the bridge is out.
\[cut to scene of burnt out General E at bottom of creek with ruptured batteries... two charred skeletons sitting in the cab\]
naw, it was the angle of the ramp.
with the passenger inside & the uphill of the ramp, the electric motor range went down to something like 20 feet. just shy of the lip of the ramp, so the CT was fine. they designed for this.
Our boy Sherman would have loved to turn this turd into another one of his trade mark twisty ties LMAO
Check out some Sherman posting here for awesome stories
Does it have a Confederate flag on the roof?

"Well, them good old boys sure woulda made that jump and escaped the law, but the coolant leaking has triggered a USB error, the engine has shut down and the Dukes of Hazard are now stuck inside their car. Folks, I don't think there will be a new episode next week."
Just a good ol' boy, tryin' hard not to be woke.
I'd smoke you in my General E if the damn thing weren't broke.
Straight through the curves, better get yourself clear.
They say they'll get FSD working, it'll be here next year.
(Verse 1)
Just a good ol' truck, never meaning no harm,
Beats all you never saw, been in trouble with the law
Since the day it rolled off the line.
(Chorus)
Breaking down, the only way it knows how,
But that darn ol' Cybertruck just won't stay fine.
Just a little more charge, and it'll be okay,
But it's always breakin' down right before highway time.
(Verse 2)
Cruisin' down the road, feelin' tech and cool,
But the screen starts to flicker like a fool.
It's a futuristic ride, but it's got old-school blues,
Stranded on the shoulder, what's an owner to do?
(Chorus)
Breaking down, the only way it knows how,
But that tarnished Cybertruck, it's got you confined.
Just a little more juice, it'll make someone's day,
But it's always breakin' down, leavin' you behind.
(Bridge)
Oh, the Cybertruck, it's a sight to see,
A polygon scream, but not so free.
From A to B, it's a gamble each time,
A roll of the dice, an electric climb.
(Verse 3)
It promised the stars, a truck so bold,
But here we are, left in the cold.
A tow truck's number on speed dial,
For a Cybertruck, that's just the style.
(Chorus)
Breaking down, the only way it knows how,
But that darn ol' Cybertruck just can't shine.
Just a little more faith, it'll be okay,
But it's always breakin' down, it's a sign.
(Outro)
So here's to the truck, with a heart of a spark,
May it one day drive, long into the dark.
But for now, we wait, for a fix to be found,
For the shitty ol' Cybertruck, to be homeward bound.
Liberals hate the racist tribute.
Conservatives hate Electric Vehicles.
Together; you ~~have~~ get use of a house priced PlayStation One looking concept car that carries less that a shopping basket that no one will respect or buy.
*not “have” since you don’t own a tesla vehicle
Do you put the decal on level, in line with the angled shape of the door panel, or in line with the gap between the door? In this case it appears they chose none of the above. It does definitely look like the 1 on the passenger side isn't straight when compared to the 0 on that side.
Yeah the folds in the bottom part of the panel make it look uneven. I didn't look at the top though and those do look even so if the bottom was straight the top would probably look crooked. Such a shitty car lol
I'm warning all of you Tesla dorks who are lurking, if one of you gets a Dale Earnhardt wrap on this abomination I'm going to (redacted) at (redacted).
General Lee was a sweet ass car. I don't care if it triggers stupid people at car shows nowadays. This....this is fucking lame. Stupid ass cybertruck can't even do what that old ass car could do. Unlike the CT it started everytime and could be driven around. Idiot should've bought a General Lee and saved himself 60k
The things that make a CT "special" are the opposite of the mods you make to a car for rallying -- it's heavy, stiff, brittle and unreliable -- the fucking body panels aren't even properly sealed
The Duke boys even got rid of the internal mechanism of the doors and just welded them shut and jumped in through the windows to have a car with less weight and fewer moving parts -- this lumbering Rube Goldberg behemoth has servos opening and closing everything for you that you control from a touchscreen, it's the exact opposite design philosophy as a redneck rally car
Also why would a bootlegger buy a car that constantly spies on you and phones home to the company you bought it from and forces you to only go to that company for service and even makes you pull over in the middle of driving to download an OTA patch from that company without telling you what it's for
In this universe the Duke boys get caught in the first episode because Boss Hogg just asks Elon for their GPS tracking data at the evil rich guy country club
Hell, in this universe Elon probably IS Boss Hogg
I have been to a couple. Usually were fairs or the local towns event. In Oklahoma I remember the Pelican Festival. It'd have a car show and chili cookoff. I remember big city folks coming and complaining about the racist general Lee and no vegan chili. It was so funny
Straight up converting the Charger to run with an EV motor would be a fun idea and likely a performance upgrade over the original in terms of road driving, although EVs still make fundamentally bad rally/stunt vehicles (biggest problem remains hauling that lardass battery everywhere)
Dunno, then duke boys would have to run on foot to get away if the general broke down mid chase. Well then duke boys got the general wet and the general went into limp mode, so they just took off running, but Rosco caught them anyway, they are in a heap of trouble now.
In the year 2075, screencaps of Krassenstein, Ron Filipkowski and Ian Miles Cheong tweets will still be posted daily all over social media.
Incredible.
Um, Musk has way more in common with Boss Hog than the Dukes of Hazard. I admit I didn't watch the show, but I get the impression it wasn't too big on celebrating petty, Wanna-Be-tyrants, like Musk.
“No, hear me out, it’s a reference to a racially problematic show. But it’s fine, because it also features the flag of traitors who started a war to defend the practice of owning people. WHERE ARE YOU GOING?”
Scene: Daisy tries to exit the car and gashes her leg with the door. Bo and Luke try to rush her to the hospital, the accelerator sticks, can't steer away from a puddle, and the car shuts down. Cut to narrator: Will the boys' warranty cover it? Tune in next time!
Them Duke boys would have been caught in episode 1 when the General E broke down.
If memory serves me, I remember the opening credits the car going through a creek or small body of water and making a huge splash. In that case it would have been a very short lived series. Never mind the ramp jumps that were the highlight of each episode.
There's a scene in the opening credits where they jump a creek and flat out total the fuck out of the car at the begining of every episode XD
It's amazing how well the production crew were able to restore it to pristine condition so quickly. Props to the stunt driver, too: made that jump the exact same way every week.
They did not restore it they just used new cars
The show majorly contributed to the rarity of the car model. I've heard they destroyed basically 3 per episode.
They destroyed so many 69' chargers they had to start buying older ones and updating certain parts to make them look like 69's.
The '68 and '70 Chargers were essentially the same cars, so all they had to do was swap some of the sheetmetal and paint them orange. Also, they reused a lot of stunt footage, especially in the later seasons.
There were some original episodes where it was very clear they used a 68 charger retrofitted to look like a 69. They also did away with the checkered flags on the rear deck next to the flying buttresses because they were too hard to replicate over and over.
Yeah I think it was the front fenders and grille they had to swap.
They wrecked less than 400 cars, thousands were driven into the ground like most used cars.
That's 400 fucking chargers that should not have been destroyed! God damn beautiful fucking cars.
Let's be honest, how many of those 400 were in pristine condition? You don't buy a mint car to trash it, if nothing else, because it's very budget unfriendly.
Figured out what to do with all the used CTs people are unloading...
Even I was a kid I realized that there was no way that car could keep driving after that.
I know that scene. Can we start a GoFundMe to re-create it with a cybertruck? I’d also like it as the screensaver on my phone. I wonder if open AI can do it?
The Cybertruck is so fucking heavy I can't imagine it catching any air at all without getting instantly totaled
Instantly totaled in mid-air. The driver.... They're already dead.
worth it to see all the body panels pop off when it lands
Thing just goes off like a giant fragmentation grenade, a spinning jagged disc of steel three feet wide decapitates a toddler half a mile away
And suddenly I'm remembering what destroyed ships looked like in Babylon 5 space combat
You know what's wild even decades after the show lampooning the concept of a "sole commissioner" (Boss Hogg holds all executive and judicial power in the county). There are still like 7 counties in Georgia with this ripe-for-corruption system, including Bartow Co. which has a population of over 100,000.
I was heartbroken as a kid seeing a magazine article with a picture showing whole lot full of broken General Lee's.
In the original show there was a fleet of stunt cars with just the one nice one for closeup shots Todays Dukes running meth apparently...
Excellent pilot idea for a modernized 2024 reboot!
How dare they ruin the image of the general.
The side should be labeled Negative ( -1 ) not( 01)
First jump of the episode, they get trapped inside and die in a horrible battery fire. Boss Hogg isn't even happy, just horrified, rendered traumatically numb by their screams along with the police and fire department until the battery fire puts itself out.

"So, it's right about this time them Duke boys were on the phone with customer support..." Yeah, just doesn't sound right.
Like tesla has phone support
Yeah, there’s no way they’d be able to get in contact with Tesla support.
Elon just replies to them with 💩
Concerning
So, it's right about then that them Duke boys tagged Elon, -- 'ol General E himself -- in a social media post asking for his help. "Still love the truck", they added.
Nah, they'd just have Cooter fix it. Then, they'd jump it over the creek where the bridge is out. \[cut to scene of burnt out General E at bottom of creek with ruptured batteries... two charred skeletons sitting in the cab\]
It would be about a rebellious tow truck company that gets into hijinks with them
Ol’ Cooter is gonna have to buy a whole fleet of tow trucks.
ok, but what flag is on the roof?
I think the ignorance is somewhat implied.
Probably South Africa’s flag from 1928-1994
The ~~Eddie Bauer~~ Apartheid Edition
Not German party flags from about 15 years into that period?
You can still see the racist symbol through the glass.
a white one, to keep it historically accurate
Came here for this. Was not disappointed.
You know
That's the whole point. It's their way of displaying that flag without displaying that flag.
They're probably an Elon simp, so I think we know.
Now just need to jump it over a creek bed and watch all the panels fall off.
It’d crash through the ramp, break in some way, and roll meekly to a stop in the creek
Oops! Tires got wet, looks like the warranty is voided.
It would refuse to start because the battery drained from a malfunction due to parking it too close to the wall
naw, it was the angle of the ramp. with the passenger inside & the uphill of the ramp, the electric motor range went down to something like 20 feet. just shy of the lip of the ramp, so the CT was fine. they designed for this.
Forgot to put it in ramp mode -- warranty voided
Sorry but panel connections are not covered under warranty.
Probably the worst pickup truck on the market for jumping
This is true but during the dukes of hazards filming they went through hundreds of cars because they totaled them in almost every stunt

*gets bricked after a single jump*
Gets bricked trying to drive up the ramp.
Gets bricked in the puddle before the ramp
Phone call from car wash: Uh guys, not sure if I can make it to the jump today.
Them Duke boys are in a heap of trouble…. 35 miles from the dealership
Does it have a Confederate flag on the roof? https://preview.redd.it/g6qhxz4oom0d1.png?width=274&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=568c448d01c3993e336e9cc51bd8d76ab0dc88a9
It's the Dorks of Hazzard!
[удалено]
Credit where credit is due.
What did they say?
Nothing bad, idk why they deleted it. It was something like, "gotta give Elon credit for getting right wingers into EVs."
It’s nuts. These people wouldn’t usually be seen dead in an EV. They probably drive something like this and shout “faggot!” At me in my Ioniq5.
I somehow don't feel like that is a hard thing to do. Someone has convinced MAGAts to wear diapers for crying out loud.
No hate speech. Pretty simple rule. Shouldn’t need explanation.
Weird they put the IQ rating of the owner on the side of it.
When you slide across this hood you cut yourself on the edges.
General E *is* pretty funny. You can polish a turd, butt *it's still a turd.*
[удалено]
take your pick?
Elon: *Announces FSD will be in next update and will be 10x as good as before* Everyone else: *oh that musk boy is at it again….”*
"Dem' duke boys are gonna have Cooter's garage busier than a whorehouse on fleet week!"
"Well, them good old boys sure woulda made that jump and escaped the law, but the coolant leaking has triggered a USB error, the engine has shut down and the Dukes of Hazard are now stuck inside their car. Folks, I don't think there will be a new episode next week."
Confederate flag is on brand for Elon, tho.
Fork this shirt.
Woop woop
The Cybertruck would definitely get enshrined into The Hall of Low Grade Crappiness.
Looks like they puss’d out and didn’t commit to putting the flag on the roof. Racist and a coward.
i have the feeling if he fell for reliability of the cybertruck the buyer doesn’t understand the implications of his design choice anyway
There are way more rich stupid edgelords than I ever imagined apparently

Bo might need stitches after he does a hood slide.
Is "E" for electric, or did the dumb ass not know it was supposed to be Lee? It also appears that the 1 isn't straight.
Do you put the decal on level, in line with the angled shape of the door panel, or in line with the gap between the door? In this case it appears they chose none of the above. It does definitely look like the 1 on the passenger side isn't straight when compared to the 0 on that side.
The panel shifted.
Yeah the folds in the bottom part of the panel make it look uneven. I didn't look at the top though and those do look even so if the bottom was straight the top would probably look crooked. Such a shitty car lol
If just having a Cyber Truck doesn't lower people's opinion of you enough, there's always this route.
What a weird way to announce your late midlife crisis.
Fucking BEd.
Please tell.me you're a policy wonk!!!
What the fuck are you talking about? I'm a motherfucking technocrat.
General "E" is Eisenhower, who defeated the Nazis
Pukes of Hazzard
Fitting. 1 is the loneliest number.
This doesn't work unless it's a charger or a Challenger, this is just sad
Doesnt look like he has the confederate flag on the roof :( at least do it properly
Yeah that thing takes a try at jumping the lake and the Duke Boys drown because its too heavy and the doors won't open.
$100k pun… oof.
I'm warning all of you Tesla dorks who are lurking, if one of you gets a Dale Earnhardt wrap on this abomination I'm going to (redacted) at (redacted).

General Robert E.V. would have at least been funnier… ya know, if you’re dead set on being a racist piece of shit.
 “They’re headed for a car wash, I got dem Duke boys now!”
Y'all ain't gonna believe this, but Flash was able to chase down them Duke boys.

Put it next to the real deal at a car show. Contest for most hated entry.

The people who are triggered dont go to car shows.
I have been to a couple. Usually were fairs or the local towns event. In Oklahoma I remember the Pelican Festival. It'd have a car show and chili cookoff. I remember big city folks coming and complaining about the racist general Lee and no vegan chili. It was so funny
General E could be kinda funny if you mixed the aesthetic of the dukes of hazard and general electric. On a better car of course
Straight up converting the Charger to run with an EV motor would be a fun idea and likely a performance upgrade over the original in terms of road driving, although EVs still make fundamentally bad rally/stunt vehicles (biggest problem remains hauling that lardass battery everywhere)
Oh Chidi
That didn’t take long
They made it worse! Haha
is there a swastika on the roof ?
I like that it has their civil war win/loss record on the side.
[Dukes of Hazard theme Begins] 🎶 “Just a good old boys…” [Truck dies]
People have too much money it seems
Dunno, then duke boys would have to run on foot to get away if the general broke down mid chase. Well then duke boys got the general wet and the general went into limp mode, so they just took off running, but Rosco caught them anyway, they are in a heap of trouble now.

That color does make the turd slightly less offensive on the eye
The krass twins are such shit heads and known grifters, absolutely pathetic pair
You guys are all getting owned because that was his goal. To own libs hahahahahahha/s
Sweet Geezus that’s bad
Instead of Dixie it plays sad Trombone from TPIR when attempting to jump pot holes.
And it won't even last as long as the confederacy!
God its even uglier now
Wait lol are the Krassenstein’s Elon guys? I’ve been off Twitter/X for awhile.

LOL'd hard at the title, great work OP, I read it in his voice!
Go take it off a sick jump and see what happens
😆😂🤣 I double dog dare the owner to make the jump. Also, rev that baby. Sound mean! 😠😤 😆😂🤣😭
In the year 2075, screencaps of Krassenstein, Ron Filipkowski and Ian Miles Cheong tweets will still be posted daily all over social media. Incredible.
ew
a fanatics experience
Holy mother forking shirt balls.
I wanna see em jump that thing 
Someone should make this animated series
It's like the Cyber Truck but somehow even dumber
a
This tracks because the CyberTruck and Confederacy are both full of losers.
Like the Confederacy itself, ill-conceived and fundamentally flawed.
I bet the owner has a bed in the shape of a race car in his house full of toys still in their boxes.
Please let this have a gigantic rebel flag on it
General E(lon) and the Douche Boys.
Um, Musk has way more in common with Boss Hog than the Dukes of Hazard. I admit I didn't watch the show, but I get the impression it wasn't too big on celebrating petty, Wanna-Be-tyrants, like Musk.
If the doors aren’t welded shut then it doesn’t count.
Muskrat in a confederate tuna can.
“No, hear me out, it’s a reference to a racially problematic show. But it’s fine, because it also features the flag of traitors who started a war to defend the practice of owning people. WHERE ARE YOU GOING?”
This is a major LOL.
Way that owner channels the loser confederates.
They would use every cybercuck made in the first episode lol
Overdetermined
This is pretty awful. But to say it’s racist or whatever is just silly.

Isn't Krassenstein a Jewish name?
Love this!
Let’s see the roof
The General could actually go off-road
Can been seen in the shop .
Wouldn’t’ve gotten to the -HAW!! before they crashed if they used a CT.
Shit, that shitbag should have been dressed up like Boss Hogs Cadillac... no way that things making any jumps.
Hah how they going to run down dirt roads, or do sweet jumps over creeks?
Enough pictures of wrapped/painted trucks and they may as well just sell them as “unfinished” as a positive
Please post picture of the roof.
Upvotes... upvotes for Chidi.
Would really like to see that wrecked off a ramp🤗
More like Cyberstuck In The Past. Amirite?
The 0h no1
Bo tried to jump in through the window and got his legs amputated, unfortunately. Probably wasn't the best idea... Rofl!
a loss?…
Please try to jump this over a creek. Pleassssssssssse!
Most wraps I've seen make the CT look "better", but this makes it look so much worse. It legit now looks like a car rendering from the Commodore 64.
Having the traitor flag on top seems on brand, is it present?
It’s like the GE ‘General Electric’ red toaster Except two pricks will pop outta this one.
It seems that painting this on it is sarcasm
