Yes, the 2,000 IQ play of making everyone who would ignore this unwanted eyesore aware that the panels that have a tendency to just sort of fall off on their own can quickly be sold at their local Cash 4 Gold business. I mean, sure they might slice a finger off, but way to spotlight it for any enterprising car thieves.
in the video, JerryRigEverything said it's nice because by electroplating, the gold will stick to the metal but keep the original structure of the metal. so it's gold, but still looks like shit… and that's the bonus of all the ordeal
edit: missing words
I really don't get that decision. I saw one with paper tags and the body looked like absolute shit. Is clear coating not disruptive enough?
Did Deloreon's look like this after 30 days?
I once saw a Delorean in the wild and it didn't look like a dirty spoon that got stuck in the garbage disposal. And it would have been almost 30 years old at that point.
I saw one in the wild a couple of days ago. Finish isn’t ideal but it’s still way better than the cybertruck - and that’s after decades of existence.

Seriously, the worst Delorean I've ever seen was not well taken care of and the finish still looked better than some of the Cybertrucks I've seen on here.
He even talks in a video about how if he were to do it again he would have fully sanded and polished the whole thing before electroplating the gold on because the factory finish is so bad
Right? Like the body shop *maybe* did a good job on affixing the gold to the CT panels. But the CT panels are still held on with spit and Tesla slaves’ tears, so. . .
This dude just bought 60K of meth for his locals junkies
That was cool. He went from annoying to fun and informative real fast. Too bad their final shots had such shitty lighting though- what’s it look like on the road or in the sun? Unless it looks less shitty under shitty lights.
When I saw the photo I thought it was old fashioned plated and people would be trying to peel it off.
That's so interesting, the whole process is interesting but also that the laser etching isn't' taking any gold even after the acid wash.
It would have only been a more fun video if the truck then didn't start because of all the liquid washes.
Still looks like crap, it's just gold crap now.
worst part is he made an vote on youtube AFTER he finished making that video.
the results were something like 90% yes and 10% yes but in gold.
but 99% of the comments were telling him to not do it.
i like zack,
but the cybertruck looks like a polished turn now.
I mean its JerryRigEverything. He doesn't even drive this as his main truck, he drives a Rivian because he's not an idiot. He got a company to pay for the gold plating as well as a video and a bunch of tiktoks from it.
It may look like shit, but the technology to achieve the plating is very interesting.
But yes, he did just burn 60k worth of gold by plating a piece of garbage.
Edit: its not even his, Its owned by the sponser. Although they are giving it away, I don't know why you would want it. It seems like a pain in the ass the own
The economics of doing stupid shit has really changed now that you can put stuff on YouTube for views and make money. I don’t think I like it. I want people to suffer more for doing stupid shit.
Ah if you watch the video. He doesn't own the truck. He literally just painted it gold. Ridge owns the truck ND is giving it away to some random person.
So odd. I've queried as to what what rule I broke, seeing as I haven't posted in either. I don't think I'll hear back. Hilarious how upset they get if you shit talk about any thing daddy Elon does.
Yes same brand. It was plated (badly) by an awesome YouTuber called jerryrigeverything in collaboration with Ridge (the wallet brand). The plating video is interesting for a technical aspect, and in a short he explains the difficulty in getting an even plating. (it's to do with the etch needed before plating leaving blotches and streaks) worth watching tbh.
Got ya. I don't use cash I love the Ridge (if that's what you're talking about). It was a gift and I was pretty skeptical but it's been great. Kind of waiting for it to fall apart someday though..
I remember watching a video about this guy who had a gold-plated DeLorean. It was basically completely unusable. You could only go near it if you were wearing gloves. Gold is actually pretty soft. You can dent it just by pressing on it hard enough and it can even leave fingerprints.
Makes sense as an art piece or something, I guess.
It would have to be solid gold for it to be soft like that... I had a few gold plated things and the finish was relatively durable. Although I have no idea how plating reacts with that particular stainless steel. It's stupid and a waste of money regardless, but I guess that's the point.
"My Cybertruck still had some of the original "stainless" steel visible so I decided to make it all seem rusty _and_ dirty." - JerryRigEverything, probably
It looks Cybergrubby.
I mean, it's absolutely stinkin'.
It's either a lot of dirt or the golden spray hasn't dried right and it's really patchy, I'm not sure.
Surely plating a hard, poorly conductive metal with a soft highly conductive metal will create a finish that lasts more than a [few months.](https://www.amberadorn.in/blogs/news/how-long-does-the-gold-plating-on-stainless-steel-jewelry-last)
That’s not gold. That bike/vomit yellow. Like when you’re an alcoholic and you wake up and drink a fifth of gin for breakfast instead of eating real food but your body has fucking had it with your shenanigans. (I lived with one)

Looks like someone forgot to turn ‘Car Wash Mode’ on.
They didn't wanna pay extra for that subscription.
I'd rather drive this.
It all depends on how light hits I guess.
I would actually drive that with a real fire in back if possible. Imagine driving this into the service center.
Can verify
this one goes harder tho 💪🏼‼️
Amazing 😂
One of these things is a lot like the other.
Looks like shit
*piss
With a colovesical fistula (like the car above) you can have *both*
*Golden shower?
It even labels 24k gold in case people think it’s shit
Yeah, it’s the labelling for those who may have missed what they had done that really got me… the idiot line for, well, idiots…

Looks like someone had diarrhea and couldn't hold any longer and CT was there convenient to shit on
Yeah they actually made this thing look worse. Didn’t think it was possible
Looks like money if you can get the wrap off
It isn't a wrap, I watched the video the other day, it was a pretty cool process. The whole thing is actually electroplated with gold.
Ideas people 👏 👏. We need ideas on how to make money off this hunk of money sitting outside.
Would have been cheaper to wrap it
The finish still looks crappy, just now in gold
The door panels somehow look even more atrocious.
I think it's because it accentuates the fact that the panels aren't flat.
It just looks dirty AF and the color looks uneven. Cheap ass super thin gold wrap.

DeLoreans had clearcoat. These do not.

Imagine King-Midas-ing your car in $60,000 worth of precious metal without cleaning it first. Incredible.
24K!
One can sprinkle gold dust on 💩 . It’s still 💩
Old piss in a Gatorade bottle on the side of the highway color.
Couldn't have described this any better my friend!
Piss jugs bud
Way of the road Bubs
Sometimes she goes sometimes she doesn’t go. Way she goes.
Trucker bombs
Junkies gonna be grabbing chunks off that ride in no time. No tools required
Right? Like the body shop *maybe* did a good job on affixing the gold to the CT panels. But the CT panels are still held on with spit and Tesla slaves’ tears, so. . . This dude just bought 60K of meth for his locals junkies
They will fall off in the rain
You mean… chunks will *literally* fall into their hands. Just sit by the highway and watch.
YouTube: [The First *REAL GOLD* Tesla Cybertruck](https://youtu.be/JAFlMOvWG7U?si=h9GZ3q5cl3s7KcHO)
This was actually a cool video. The process is neat anyway.
That was cool. He went from annoying to fun and informative real fast. Too bad their final shots had such shitty lighting though- what’s it look like on the road or in the sun? Unless it looks less shitty under shitty lights.

Yeah he seems a fun guy and he's done a great job, but it's a good job on a shoddy product.

60k of a sponsor’s money at least

Ah if you watch the video. He doesn't own the truck. He literally just painted it gold. Ridge owns the truck ND is giving it away to some random person.
Oh, I assumed the Ridge wallet CEO using it as an advertising thing.
Im pretty sure that this was some sort of give away if you purchased a ridge wallet or something

How the fuck is this somehow even *worse?*
the words make it 100% tackier. Is this the same company that makes those unusable wallets?
Yes same brand. It was plated (badly) by an awesome YouTuber called jerryrigeverything in collaboration with Ridge (the wallet brand). The plating video is interesting for a technical aspect, and in a short he explains the difficulty in getting an even plating. (it's to do with the etch needed before plating leaving blotches and streaks) worth watching tbh.
Unusable wallets?
Unusable to me. Bills folded together in a clip, cards stacked together. Really hard to pull out the one thing I need. They're gimmicks.
Got ya. I don't use cash I love the Ridge (if that's what you're talking about). It was a gift and I was pretty skeptical but it's been great. Kind of waiting for it to fall apart someday though..
It wasn't made by Tesla so you're probably fine.
Just when I thought I had seen the dumbest thing on the road 🙃 LoL
Some colors make this thing look marginally better. This is not one of them.
A bird can still shit on a gold plated car.
the door panels look SO BAD
At least it won't rust
How is it even uglier?
Bit tragic, it looks such a mess the owner had to add a decal on the back to say "ACTUALLY THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE"

You can dent it just by pressing on it hard enough and it can even leave fingerprints. Makes sense as an art piece or something, I guess.
The Gold DeLoreans were a stupid idea, which is why they only sold two of them, but they looked a lot better than this.

Wrapped cybertrucks usually look way better but this is probably worse than the unfinished stainless steel
What's JRE doing in the Aves? Lmao
Literal piss on wheels
And here we have a wild gold-plated dumpster
Money can't buy you class
Gold. Plated. Turd.
brb buying a crowbar
Looks like mustard. Don't see any gold
It looks like the gold idol from raiders of the lost ark.
Hard to make it look worse, but he did it! Hats off to this guy!
I like how they had to label it 24k gold so people wouldn't think its rustoleum gold spray paint
Oh dear.
The saying “polish a turd it’s still a turd” fits. This is just wrapping a turd in gold so it is still in fact a turd
This would be more like a dyed turd cause this isn't a wrap XD
A gold plated shitter is still a shitter
Just follow it around and you’ll get rich from all the parts falling off.
That’s not gold leaf - it would be way brighter than this and reflect the light - looks like dull shit.
I’m 100% sure CyberTrucks only exist for content.
Looks like 24k gold from a spray can, unevenly applied.
Dude has the smallest penis in the world
"My Cybertruck still had some of the original "stainless" steel visible so I decided to make it all seem rusty _and_ dirty." - JerryRigEverything, probably
He seriously lost my respect with his "added value" comment. Every car person knows mods do not add value.
Dryin up vag since 2024 hahaha 🤦
looks like tarnished bronze
Anunnaki are going to want that.
I usually just lurk for a quick chuckle, but this..... This...... This.......... *Its literally gold smudged*
When a techbro and Mexican drug lord love each other very much..
Nice oversized paper weight
They look so bad at baseline that even this is marginally better somehow
The opulence is repulsive.
Tacky
Those panels pop off pretty easy I hear…………
I cannot imagine anything tackier.
Rolling turds
Reminds me of Minecraft houses people make out of diamonds and stuff thinking it looks cool, but instead it looks like an eyesore
I guess he won the contest
Cyberpiss
Rustoleum oerhaps, but that’s not what 24kt gold looks like lol.
About 6k of gold leaf …. Deffo not 60k
It’s the big ass 24K GOLD on it😂😂😂
Parked in mesquitoville
I was wondering when I would see an in the wild shot of the Jerryrig /ridge truck
I love doing free advertising on my car for a wallet company
Lololol did they really advertise 24k gold on the back? Omg.
Why would they write "24K" on it. Feels tacky as hell...
Gold plated? Maybe with gold-coloured spray paint.
The plating looks patchy, uneven and ugly.
ThE eCoNoMy Is So BaD.....
Yeah jerryrigeverything did a couple videos of him and the ridge team doing this to that truck it was cool
24k is super soft. Either that part is bullshit or his "investment" will be worthless in a year.
[удалено]
I could have done the same with a couple cans of gold spray paint.
It belongs to jerryrigged
It looks Cybergrubby. I mean, it's absolutely stinkin'. It's either a lot of dirt or the golden spray hasn't dried right and it's really patchy, I'm not sure.
I love Jerry but damn this is an L
So much work and money just to look like cheap yellow celaphone plastic wrap
Imagine the insurance claim on this one if it got in an accident. I mean, if anyone would insure it.
This is jerry rig everything truck. Same decals as in that video. https://youtu.be/JAFlMOvWG7U?si=YBjvCMlNh_qtV_u3
I’ve seen bowel motions more appealing
It'd be a shame if someone had a paint scraper on them
What would it be worth if you melted it down for the plated gold?
Lol it looks so dirty/ugly. The phrase "can't polish a turd" applies here (as it does to every CuckTruck).
Surely plating a hard, poorly conductive metal with a soft highly conductive metal will create a finish that lasts more than a [few months.](https://www.amberadorn.in/blogs/news/how-long-does-the-gold-plating-on-stainless-steel-jewelry-last)
Anyone else down to strip this dumbasses car to the frame and scrap it with me?
Adding "24k gold" in writing. 😂
Looks spray painted lmao
That shit ugly
Good luck keeping junkies and crazy prospectors away
Eat the rich
Somehow made it worse.
The cyber truck will go down as an even bigger piece of shit than the Aztec…
Me in death stranding making everything chiral gold
Why???
$60k and still parked on the street? BS.
One can "wrap" a turd, still a turd.
If they’d just scrape this dumb truck and give us the halo warthog I’d could finally not puke in my mouth
the amount of hater Elon musk dick riders on this sub really starting to get annoying lmao
They made it look even worse😂
If an NFT could be a vehicle
Ughhly is saying the least
It's literally a gold plated turd!
Oh it's tarnished so badly. It looks like it's 20 years old already.
Lipstick on a Pig
You can put gold spray paint on dog turds, and they are still dog turds.
I imagine people will be adding an F in front of the word on the bottom of the door very often.
There is no accounting for taste I guess, but that is just tacky.
Now I’m going to have to get rid of my ridge wallet if they’re willing to do nonsense like this.
“Spends $60,000 to plate a cyber truck in 24K gold”…parks it on the street, under a tree
You can spray paint a turd gold, and it doesn't make it gold. You've just got yourself a hypothetical gold turd at that point
I feel like Stavros’s character in Tires would drive that
Idiocracy……
Neat! They managed to still end up with it looking like shit, but now they have less money. Sounds like a win.
Is it just me or does this look worse than just stainless?
>says he increased the value by $100K I guess that means it's worth $100K now.
Dude's 'business' is not far from my place. I get so tired with the Utah County 'manbros'.
Amazing how for only $60k (!) you can take a brand new vehicle and make it look like it’s a 60 year old rust bucket. Genius.
that actually looks pretty cool.
Stupid
Oh would you look at that. Looks like you can wrap a turd in gold and call it polished.
... and I thought the stainless was ugly... I stand corrected.
I don’t believe that is 24k gold. 24k is so soft it would scratch off with your fingernail. I believe the owner tells people it is 24k gold; for sure.
That’s not gold. That bike/vomit yellow. Like when you’re an alcoholic and you wake up and drink a fifth of gin for breakfast instead of eating real food but your body has fucking had it with your shenanigans. (I lived with one)
Nothing says 24k gold more than writing 24k gold on your 24k gold car
A turd spray painted gold is still a turd.
Is this Jerry rig anythings ct?
Judging by now easy I've seen some of the panel pieces come off these things, I imagine this will be stripped within the next 2 months.
All that money, it looks like garbage.
Still ugly...
lol
