If Buying A Cybertruck Didn't Make You Comfortable With The Size Of Your Wiener, Maybe The Mansory 'Elongation' Can Help
Fellas, please listen to me. If your penis is physically unsatisfactory or stops working, for whatever reason, I promise you do not need to debase yourself with Mansory's take on the Tesla Cybertruck, which is called the Elongation. No, I'm not joking.
As with all Mansory projects, the Elongation is anything but subtle, building on the already garish Cybertruck with lots of tacked-on carbon fiber bits, some winglets, new wheels and a lightbar up top. The interior is actually... better than the regular Cybertruck in my opinion. It has some interesting splashes of color and material choices that take the rather drab interior of the Cybertruck and make it more interesting. It's all intended to make up for the fact you're balding, your wiener isn't working and your wife and kids aren't picking up the phone anymore.
On the outside, Mansory's "designers" stuck the aforementioned carbon-fiber bits all over the car, including the bumpers, hood, wheel arches and side skirts. They even added a little four-sided carbon fiber panel behind the rear windows, a lightbar on the roof and some winglets above the tailgate to make the truck a bit less useful. Mansory says all of these parts are made of real carbon fiber, but they're available in several designs and can be painted in different colors depending on what the customer (read: lonely guy) wants.
One aspect of the Elongation that I don't detest are the wheels. They're 26 inches, which is probably too big, but they've got a sort of turbofan look to them, which really works for me. Mansory says customers should throw on high-performance 315/40R26 tires on the front and rear. I've got no idea what said tires, along with the extra tacked-on bits, will do for the Cybertruck's range, but I've got to assume it won't be good. Mansory says the Elongation will go about 2.4 miles per kWh, which seems to be on par with what the regular Cybertruck gets.

Inside, well, I'm a bit ashamed to admit it, but I sort of like what Mansory has done here. The company says that "only the finest materials" were used inside the Elongation, and I cannot confirm if that's true or not, but it does look a lot better than a normal drab Cybertruck. Mansory will add full leather upholstery and, of course, a lot of carbon fiber according to what the customer wants. For its show model, Mansory fitted the Elongation with a black and white interior with highlighter yellow accents. Both the black and white surfaces come with a really neat pixel pattern to add a bit more oomph. It also looks like the steering wheel shape has been slightly altered, and the Elongation gets Mansory-specific floormats to match the rest of the interior. I know it's not a look everyone will like, but it's a vast improvement over the blank void that is the normal Cybertruck's interior. Still, this car's interior does not do enough to make up for the sins of its exterior.
There's no word on what the pricing will be for the Mansory Elongation, but I cannot imagine it will be cheap. We'll see what the uptake is on this package because I've gotta assume most Cybertruck owners are pretty hard up on cash right now between the alimony and child support payments as well as the massive depreciation hit their trucks are taking.
It was always just a matter of time before Mansory got its grubby little hands on a Cybertruck, and I guess this is sort of tame in comparison to a lot of what its makes, but damn — it's still a nightmare. What can you really expect, though? There isn't anything anyone can do to make a Cybertruck look good.

Tesla bulls have been waiting years for this day: Elon Musk finally reveals date for his robotaxi pilot launch
The CEO said public rides are 'tentatively' planned to begin on June 22, an early birthday present for an entrepreneur that has chased the dream of full self-driving for nearly a decade. Tesla may not have the lead over Waymo in the autonomous ride-hailing market right now, but it could quickly eclipse it thanks to a unique, high-risk approach. The viral video of a Tesla driverless car cruising the streets of Austin lasted fewer than 10 seconds, but even that was enough to make grown men emotional. Farzad Mesbahi jumped into his Cybertruck and sped downtown, hunting for a glimpse of a driverless Model Y Juniper. Clips of the vehicle—turning west onto James Street from South Congress Avenue—began circulating online just a day after Austin officially listed Elon Musk's company as a technology tester. While Mesbahi, himself a former Tesla employee, gave up after a half-hour in the heat, he agreed with many bulls that the day would prove historic. 'This has been part of the [investment] thesis for a really, really long time,' he later told a podcast, explaining why he livestreamed his search for the elusive black crossover with the word 'Robotaxi' emblazoned on the door. The widely-shared nine-second clip already has over 15 million views on Musk's own X platform. When asked by a fan 'drooling over that one tiny clip' when public rides would start, the Tesla CEO also finally provided the first clear launch date. 'Tentatively June 22,' he wrote. 'We are being super paranoid about safety, so the date could shift.' But if it does end up being postponed, it likely won't be by much. The first Tesla that drives itself from the factory to a customer's house, Musk stated, would be June 28—coinciding with the entrepreneur's 54th birthday (how far a drive that would be, he notably left out, since Teslas cannot recharge themselves). Wedbush tech analyst praised Musk for shrewdly timing his 'apology tour with Trump' so as not to grab headlines away from the Austin pilot launch or otherwise risk the rollout. 'We believe Tesla could reach a $2 trillion market cap by the end of 2026 in a bull case scenario,' wrote Ives on Wednesday. That would mean the stock price doubles in the next 18 months. For years Tesla has claimed it was on the cusp of solving unsupervised full self-driving, or FSD. When the company first launched FSD in late 2016 using a staged video it has since taken down, Tesla claimed the technology was already there—all it needed was to validate the software. Six years ago, Musk already felt comfortable enough to predict he would have 1 million robotaxis on the road by 2020. Since then Tesla has undergone two full hardware upgrades to its AI inference computer, now in its fourth generation. Its FSD software is on its 13th iteration, not counting the myriad minor releases in between. In the meantime, it scrapped its previous approach of painstakingly coding commands in C++ language to adopt an AI-only approach and trained on its own Nvidia cluster, dubbed Cortex. It's important to note that Tesla is certainly not the first to launch a robotaxi pilot—Waymo has already graduated past testing to deploy its fleet commercially in several selected cities. The significance then isn't so much that Tesla may have potentially solved autonomous driving at long last—although that would be a major accomplishment in its own right—it's Tesla's ability to scale its fleet almost instantaneously that makes the launch so important. Unlike competitors, Tesla doesn't rely on multiple, expensive lidars and a host of radars that adorn each Waymo or Zoox robotaxi to precisely scan their environments in real time using laser beams and sound waves, in addition to other sensors. Instead it relies solely on artificial intelligence to make sense of the two-dimensional images provided by its comparatively affordable cameras as eyes. Critics have long argued this is a high-risk gamble, however, since there's no guaranteeing regulators would green-light robotaxis that lack a sensor suite as backup should the cameras fail. 'That car you can buy right now for like 38 grand,' Mesbahi said about the Austin robotaxi vehicle captured in the video, 'and that car is doing self-driving.' In fact, it's not just the newer, refreshed Model Y that should be capable of FSD. Once Musks feel it's safe enough, Tesla could push out its latest version of the software overnight to the hundreds of thousands of cars already on U.S. roads, so long as they are equipped with its fourth-gen AI inference computer commonly known as HW4. That's because of a prescient decision made many years ago by the CEO to buck the usual industry practice of only equipping hardware a customer orders on purchase. Instead he had Tesla install these computers on every single vehicle that rolls off the factory line—whether a customer wanted it or not. While this cost Tesla extra, it would ensure older vehicles would be updatable and upgradable for the day when unsupervised full self-driving finally rolled out. Musk has called this Tesla's 'ChatGPT moment.' Just to remove any final doubt he might be hiding anything, Musk explicitly stated that the Model Y robotaxi pictured in the clip was standard-issue and did not feature any concealed hardware. 'These are unmodified Tesla cars coming straight from the factory,' Musk said. This story was originally featured on

What Are Cyber Tires, And Are They Banned In The USA?
Have you heard of Cyber Tires? If you're imagining some futuristic cyberpunk dystopian era or that you need to buy a Tesla Cybertruck, think again. The idea of a Cyber Tire may mean many things in the future, but in today's world, they're known as a part of the Pirelli Cyber Tyre system. The first concept of the Pirelli Cyber Tire was revealed in 2020, and in mid-February 2021, the Italian tire manufacturer went global with discussions about the new technology using software and sensors to make it possible for the tires that could communicate with the car. Now they're here, and they're smarter than ever. However, that poses a small problem for the U.S. Currently available on the McLaren Artura, Audi RS 4, and several other models, Pirelli's Cyber Tire technology has a sensor that collects data for safe driving. According to Bloomberg and Reuters, they may not be on sale for very long, and it seems like a messy political situation. It turns out China's Sinochem has a 37% stake in Pirelli. In response, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) finalized a rule in January 2025 that prohibits the sale and import of connected vehicle hardware and software systems "designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by ... certain foreign adversaries." Specifically, China and Russia. Yikes. Read more: These Cars Have The Best Wings Ever Called the first tire in the world that talks to your car, the Pirelli Cyber Tire is pretty interesting. Designed with a battery-powered sensor that weighs about 0.3 grams, the Pirelli Cyber Tire turns the everyday vehicle into a super smart car, able to communicate with the vehicle and the driver using data from the senor. This sensor data offers the driver plenty of information, including the type of tire the driver has equipped, tire pressure, load capacity, and speed rating. In short, the sensor knows whether you have summer tires or winter tires equipped. Constantly monitoring the pressure and temperature of the tires, the sensors supply data to the car's integrated electronics. Based on the data, Pirelli's Cyber Tire system goes beyond simply alerting the driver to low tire pressure. It can also alert the driver when the maximum speed for either tire has been reached to maintain performance and safety on the road. The Pirelli Cyber Tire system is also able to alert the drivers to when their tire has reached optimal temperatures and when to let them cool off to continue at optimal performance. So, are they banned from retail? Right now, no. Although the BIS has finalized the rule in March 2025, it doesn't go into effect until the 2027 model year for vehicles that include software akin to Pirelli Cyber Tires or similar technology. The rule will also restrict the sale of the hardware in 2030. Want more like this? Join the Jalopnik newsletter to get the latest auto news sent straight to your inbox...

Cybertruck Sales Are So Bad That We Gasped
There's little left for us to say that can further embarrass the Tesla Cybertruck, a vehicle that was supposed to be the culmination of Elon Musk's genius. And maybe this is what Musk's genius looks like. The luckless EV has faced eight recalls so far, and its trademark stainless steel panels, when they aren't flying off, have demonstrated that they're better at serving as a shiny canvas for spray paint than as the armor of an "apocalypse-proof" tank. But somehow, its already dire sales are now even worse than expected. In the entire first quarter of 2025, Tesla has managed to sell just 7,100 Cybertrucks in the US, according to registration data from S&P Global Mobility cited by the Wall Street Journal. It's an astounding and rapid plummet, when in the fourth quarter of 2024, Tesla sold close to double that amount, with roughly 13,000 Cybertrucks. A lot changed between those two quarters — like Musk embarking on a spectacular speedrun to destroy his and Tesla's image, mainly by leading the Trump administration's charge to gut the federal government. These actions, and Musk's personal espousing of far-right politics, sparked worldwide protests against him and his automaker. It has yet to recover, with Tesla's total sales in the US dropping nine percent in the first three months of this year. There are other factors at play, too, like the success of its Chinese competitors and its aging vehicle lineup, but the imploded brand reputation looms largest. And more than any other of its vehicles, the Cybertruck for one reason or another has embodied the public's souring sentiment on Musk, becoming prime targets for vandalism. They're also notoriously unreliable, sold for nothing less than $100,000 before cheaper $70,000 versions were desperately rolled out, and launched with a range over 150 miles shorter than what Musk promised. In all of 2024, the company sold fewer than 40,000 Cybertrucks. The most recent quarter's tally makes Musk previous boast that the automaker would sell up to half a million Cybertrucks per year even more ridiculous. Is it any wonder that buyers are staying away? So few people want to buy these things that in May Electrek reported that Tesla was sitting on an inventory worth $800 million of 10,000 unsold Cybertrucks — an embarrassment as much as it is a logistical headache. Dealerships have resorted to dumping their glut of the unorthodox pickup trucks in deserted parking lots. The pain isn't likely to stop anytime soon. Trump's tariffs, which factored into Musk's fallout with the president, will drive up the costs of car parts. The administration also plans to axe tax credits for purchasing EVs, demolishing a huge incentive for American consumers to buy from automakers like Tesla.
