Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt

Which would win? Clown or concrete wall? Let's find out!

[werefreeatlast@lemmy.world]

Seriously! They look terrible and the resale value is going to sink people. I wouldn't buy that thing if it was a dollar fifty.

[werefreeatlast@lemmy.world]

The Cyberbox! Imagine it! A box, with wheels! Don't need windshields because the cameras are superior.

[buffalox@lemmy.world]

Absolutely, I don't need windows, I use Linux!

Yeah up until then I though he was a cool guy; real life iron man and whatnot. That baseless accusation was just so incredibly out of character it made me question his character, and then his later actions made me realize it was always just a character.

Probably would have helped if it didn't look cobbled together out of sheet metal for a low-budget post-apocalypse movie. I picture Humungus standing up through the sunroof chasing Mel Gibson.

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?

Imagining my new all electric commuting box with a high fidelity decal of Linus Trovalds giving the guy in the back a double fisted middle finger!

With speed lines and fire ball theme. The reverse sound alarm is the same thing they use in kei trucks...cute Japanese voice model saying excuse me I'm backing up! For lights, we would want fog lights along with a fog horn, we would want 300w for normal driving, 5000w for blinding incoming traffic and flash bulbs in case anyone wants to follow me too closely. A green laser for traffic cameras, and an LED screen so I can tell the guy behind me things I did with his mother. " We went shopping together yesterday... At Victoria's secret!"....and that's the design and how I would end a conversation regarding Tesla trucks.

Empty bucket of water? What about the shark invested-waters we booked over a year ago??

[panarab@lemm.ee]

It is not a good pickup truck regardless of Musk being a fascist

[petter1@lemm.ee]

You can be a skilled Person and still work und slave like conditions. That has nothing to do with each other..

[jaschen@lemm.ee]

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.

[jaschen@lemm.ee]

It's closer to the Haitians eating ducks, I think. I sniff glue.

[jaschen@lemm.ee]

I don't even think he even commented on his Nazi salute after he did it. Which is even more damning.

[kreskin@lemmy.world]

Its awfully close to a dumpster on wheels. Just needs some flames coming out of it and a bigger 'tesla' logo and it'll be perfect.

[absgeeknz@lemmy.nz]

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!

[kreskin@lemmy.world]

"pulling out all the stops" probably means removing the minorities and anti-fascists from the tesla payroll.

[ricketyrackets@lemmy.ml]

Maybe they should include free Nazi salute lessons with each purchase and a bottle of Kentucky bourbon to get all the backwater inbred hicks on board to help spur sales of the swastitruck?

[usernameblankface@lemmy.world]

Fixing safety issues would have to include that sharp front end. Maybe just ditch the entire "stainless" exterior and restyling the whole thing would help with that.

Pretty much start with the battery pack and drivetrain, start over after that.

[ikidd@lemmy.world]

It just needs a good putsch.
