First Cybertruck Ambulance Has One Small Problem: Nowhere to Put the Patient
There’s a new — and deeply questionable — volunteer ambulance on the streets of Lakewood, New Jersey: the Cyberambulance.
Yes, you read that right. Per Jalopnik, Lakewood is now home to a Cybertruck ambulance. The $100,000 Tesla vehicle was donated to the Hatzulas Nefashos, a Jewish volunteer EMT organization that operates in South Jersey.
It’s definitely… something. As seen in a viral TikTok, the truck has been given a red, white, and blue wrap, and is indeed affixed with emergency sirens and ambulance insignia. But as all Cybertrucks are, it’s extremely blocky; and sadly, in this case, that blockiness coupled with the paint job unfortunately makes it look like a life-size Pinewood Derby car. And looks aside, there seems to be another major flaw in using the Cybertruck as an emergency vehicle: where does the patient ride, especially if they’re in a stretcher?
The Cybertruck’s bed space isn’t terrible, as far as your standard truck goes. But hauling normal stuff like groceries, or luggage, or even carrying heavy machinery or cargo is a very different ask than being able to soundly transport a patient, a gurney, a vast array of emergency equipment, and the medical personnel themselves.
Interesting, of course, that this monstrosity was gifted to a specifically Jewish organisation. Definitely comes across as some sort of indication of Oolong’s antisemitism…
