Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt
-
I’m betting high odds he will force the federal government to buy them under the guise of a green EV transition. With trump’s full blessing, of course.
Maybe he'll force their sale to Ukraine, so Trump can pretend he supports them even while the cybertrucks break down in the field faster than Russia's WWII era tanks.

I was one of those that put down a deposit and happily waited for this truck to replace my 25 year old car. Then after he called the diver/rescuers pedophiles, I was instantly turned off. Now I actively push others to not buy a Tesla and refer to all Teslas as a Nazi mobile.
Get fucked Elon.
Wow, the Cybertruck was announced that long ago?
-
I can't buy one, they are not available in NZ yet. Despite what anyone else says, I like the look, it looks like the bastard child of a delorian and a countach, but in a good way.
I wouldn't buy one despite the fact that I like it. It is far too big for NZ roads, I may have overlooked that. But I can't overlook the fact that Elon has, for me at least, destroyed any good will that was built up. Tesla and all the people who work there have been tarred with the Nazi brush that Elon is wielding.
The only way that Tesla could claw back any respect from me (and hopefully the rest of the world) would be to oust Elon, and all his family from any decision making in the company. It will not happen so my respect for them is gone!
Will they ever be available?
Completely illegal in the UK as it'd never pass the safety tests. After all, that front hitting someone would be insta-death. -

I wouldn't take a cybertruck if it was free, ignoring musk entirely it's just a bad vehicle.
The only place I'll drive a Cybertruck is in Fortnite because there I want my car to be unsafe.

Has Elon Musk tried not being a fascist plutocrat?

They don't seem much more dangerous than the new breed of massive flat nosed ute's that I see around.
If a pedestrian gets hit at any kind of speed by an ute, they are fucked.

Honest questions: What attracted you to it? Do you like the design?

It is not a good pickup truck regardless of Musk being a fascist
It certainly doesn't look very useful. It looks like you asked a 5-year-old to draw a "cool truck."

You're being ridiculous, why would you seriously think that? That kind of internet opinion doesn't hold up in real life. I would absolutely take a free Cybertruck, I've long dreamed of making my own car bomb.

Not OP, but regardless of it being ugly, it is novel and kind of goofy look, which has some appeal. Like buying a car designed by a child it’s sort of “fun”.
Otoh, I don’t have the cash to throw away on “fun”, and regardless, funding a nazi definitely ruins the fun, so even if I won the lottery, I’d have to find my fun elsewhere I suppose.

No, the cave thing happened in 2018, but the Cybertruck was announced late 2019.

Muskie boy, have you tried suing people to get them to buy the truck?

(Ignoring your last line joke)
No his opinion is absolutely correct. Its unsafe on just about every consumer aspect. It was cutting off fingers. It was ruling. In a crash its a nightmare. I also Wouldn't take one ifmitmwas free (unless im ok selling it without ever having to drive it)
Its a murderbox coffin on wheels.

Hmm, it's kind of like he has an established MO for when his businesses are failing due to his own poor decisions and lack of business sense.
And now he has access to the government billing office and all our SS numbers. Don’t hold your breath for your tax refund this year.

Have they actually sold any for that little?
Well no…cause they advertised it as a base price so I kept like and like together. That 60K price is for the RWD model that isn’t even out yet. The AWD model starts at just shy of 80K.

Yeah I thought so.
Quite a few people would think $60k is a good price.
$80k is only justifiable by shitheads.

If you want the whole picture…
They announcement price versus what they are at now.
Dual Motor AWD: $49,900 => $79,990
Tri-Motor AWD: $69,900 => $99,990

Oh man, I got my timelines wrong. I think it was closer to a slow progression than instantly.

Honest questions: What attracted you to it? Do you like the design?
I honestly don't mind the design. Sure some people hate it, but I didn't care about others opinions on my car. That's why my current vehicle is 25 years old. At that time, I was looking for a larger EV and during that time large EVs were nonexistent.
What sold me was the functionality. The concept had bench front row seating so I could seat 6(which they removed in the final). It had a usable trunk unlike the EVs at the time. There was frunk which was only on Teslas at the time. Also Tesla at the time had the highest safety rating among all cars. A promising auto pilot (which is a lie).
It also claimed to have a bullet proof shell and glass. While Seattle is relatively safe, there have been many instances where people have been murdered for road rage or just existing at a red light

Well, at the time there were promises made that made the Cybertruck appealing. I actually would still buy it today if it wasn't a Nazi mobile.
