Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt
-
At least the Wolkswagen was egineered properly. I don't see anyone continuing to use this design after the war.
Well that was designed by one of the GOATs - Ferdinand Porsche

Although not popular to admit it at 39,999 I'd very much consider one because there aren't many new electric truck around that price. Now a new F-150 lighting would take that spot for me without much consideration. At 75k for the f150 and 80+k for a cybertruck there is no way I'd get either.
I just don't know how people can afford personal cars vehicles for that much. Judging by sales, most people can't.
For what it was spec'd at originally, I think more people would have been willing to consider it than would like to admit, assuming the other trucks were still priced as is.

The best thing they could do for their sales is get rid of all ties to Elon Musk.
Instead they did the opposite and gave him the biggest bonus in world history.

Strange I see them everywhere
Do you by chance live in a high CoL area?

Yep, what else could you call it? It's not a hatchback, a sedan, a convertible, a sports car, etc.

I do, and even the bougie "conservative" assholes aren't that interested. They're more the decked out F-whatever and gas guzzler types.
I don't like to say it but a third party dealership was selling some painted ones that actually looked pretty nice. Nice enough to make me think that maybe the plan was always to pass on the cost to the buyer, it's so much better.
Or maybe it was just a talented... car painter? Is that a thing when they're just working with flat panels and no design?

And he's the guy who killed Hitler, so there's that.
That's it! We need to retire that joke or at least give it a 8 year rest

No thank you. I don't want a swasticar.
I'd love to have one of those new production old style beetles. But we can't buy them here because our govt sucks donkey dick.

I'll admit it: a $30k EV with 600 miles of range? You'd be an idiot to not consider that, until it was proven to be bullshit and Elon was proven to be a full-on fascist.

Even if you ignore the politics it's just a terrible car that is way too expensive. I'm honestly surprised it sold any units at all but I guess people just like vanity toys.

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.
Nononono.
It's that woke mind virus! Those infectious liberals have prevented true patriots from buying his shitty cars to proposely smash their fingers in the trunk.

Who the hell buys a cybertruck anyway ?
Obviously no one, hence the article.

Can you explain? I'm not much into cars, but that doesn't sound right to me. A quick Google suggests maybe you're referring to the open differential, but I don't think that means that only one wheel is powered.
They’re referring to an open differential. If you look at an open differential vehicle doing a burnout you will see that only one wheel is spinning.

Hate for his employees to suffer for his shitty actions but there it is
They already suffered from his shitty actions, he did not become a terrible person overnight.

Plenty of the east coast is high CoL. Not as much as in the west, but plenty.

I wouldn't say it was a failure.
It sold quite well considering its price.
The original specifications and price were never going to be met,

Deplorian... Made me snarf. My previous go to, overheard a while back, Incel Camino.
"Wankpanzer" is the one I've been going with.

You hit the nail on the head. If it can't tow it's pretty useless as a truck. If someone doesnt tow they probably dont need a truck in the first place otherwise they are better off with a gas model. The unfortunate thing is that regulations have forced manufacturers to implement shitty ICE drivetrains. Everything is a turbo now which is "more efficient" but there is no way they will last as long as the naturally aspirated V6 or V8s that would go for 400-500k miles.

You do know that turbocharged engines don't rev as much don't you ? They last longer.
A 1.8L NA Atsra put out 92 kW at 6000 rpm. The 1.6L turbo version put out 134kW at 2800 rpm.
