A couple weeks ago I drove past a Tesla dealership in Northern California. They must have had a dozen of these dumpsters lined up out front.

Uplifting news

Tesla just needs a new slogan or a good marketing campaign.

Something like:

Tesla - power by joy

Or "Kraft durch Freude" in German.

All that would perfectly fit the brand image.

Leon the Nazi can ask his dictator buddies, Abbott and the Orange Cockroach for a bailout.

Well if they'd stop putting signage with "Arbeit Macht Frei" over the entrance to their factories maybe they'd do better.

i wonder when ol stinky starts pushing somekind of law that makes it mandatory to buy one

If you do not revolt against the government, you will receive a free cybertruck as a replacement for your house, which will be too expensive to live in.

Each immigrant willing to leave voluntarily will receive a free cybertruck.

The US military, firefighters, EMT's and police force will get new vehicles! They will all start to use cybertrucks.

I certainly find it funny that Tesla's waiting list went from five years down to zero. Even Tesla's biggest fans who actually stumped money on this thing produced video after video griping about its price & brokenness.

But frankly it was kind of obvious from the get-go that it would be an expensive, uninsurable, lemony asshole death mobile. I wonder if the next time Tesla announces something and Musk spews lie after lie about it that people will start to cotton on that nothing he says can be taken at face value.

I am shocked they sold as many of them as they did. I get that there are mindless fans, but this is quite an expensive and ugly commitment to make.

Musk aside, it looks so goddamn stupid, I'd be embarrassed to drive around in it regardless. Like a cheap 80s movie version of what a futuristic car would look like.

And as Others have noted, why would you want a truck that looks like it can carry less stuff than a motorcycle can?

Tesla's were already ugly as sin and these things looked even worse. It's not surprising.

What a shock, the meme car only sold a few units before people were over it. LoL 😂

Tesla initially projected sales of 500,000 Cybertrucks annually and established production capacity at the Giga Texas for 250,000 units per year.

I’d have guessed coke, not ketamine, as drug of choice to make these estimates. Maybe he’s already counting federal agencies to be stiffed with the cyberwanker?

It's the price. I want a truck, not a Cadillac with a bed. A truck is meant for work not be a pavement princess. $50k was already high and the truck market is still stupid on price with most trucks going over $60k and Cybertruck starts at $75.5k. If the price was what Elon said when he announced the Cybertruck, it would be flying off the shelves $40k

The only thing Elon's ever pulled out of.

Turns out the group of people who look at mid nineties Laura Croft and think “that low polygon count asthenic is exactly how I like my women and trucks, I’ve got lots of disposable income to buy a truck that can’t do many truck things well, and I’m glad a far right ketamine fueled tech bro is running the company!” Is a small number of people.
