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

[email protected]

The well moneyed sort who buy Teslas also like to change cars more often than the rest of us. Some of them are going to even more expensive brands like Rivian, and there’s a huge array of less expensive, more practical options.

Here’s how I personally see the brand transformation. I don’t believe these people are so principled that they are dumping these cars in protest. It’s more that the appeal that used to be there: of being part of the future, of moving off gas and embracing clean tech to help save the world… that little halo just isn’t part of the brand anymore. Indeed Teslas all the time where I live with license plates like “BYE CO2” and “LOL GAS.” But no one is going to hop on board that Tesla hype train any longer. They are no longer novel, they no longer virtue-signal and yes have actually become a bit icky. But I think we’re just seeing the end of the mirage, not really any kind affirmative lashback.

Value is harder to deliver than hype.

The shittiest way to transition the government to ev.

I've hated him since the "that pedo guy" incident years ago.. I think that is when people started really waking up to the fact he's an incredibly insecure manchild. A bunch of poor kids trapped in a cave.. "how can I make this about ME?"

Are you getting paid to suck Elon's dick? This thread is full of comments by you supporting him. I don't know why someone would defend a billionaire so fiercely.

Hi Elon. No, we hate you because you know you have Asperger's, think yourself smart, but are blind to the fact that you need people in your life to filter your thoughts and actions to cover your weak areas and flawed perceptions.

Only a fool thinks himself beyond improvement. Elon Musk is a great example of squandered potential and self delusion.

He's just a toxic troll, check his comment history there's nothing of value there. It's real easy to block users on Lemmy, your online experience will be better off without him.

Look out, maybe you can soon dig up your own Cybertruck at a Texas quarry...

Nice, how about "Cars enabling Freedom" or "Autos machen frei"?

I got some advice for them: Fire your CEO.

Idk man, it was the Nazi salute and hostile takeover of the US government for me.

You fucking moron.

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.

Look at the havoc that dude leaves in his wake. Prime choice for president.

No not the same. Forums didn't revolve around media, they revolved around discussions.

And I'm 37, thankyouverymuch

I think the reason Cybertruck sales have ground to a halt has to do with their CEO Department's way of managing things and breaking into Governmental Agency's Private Information. It's also the reason you will find "FUCK ELON MUSK" being spray-painted onto Cybertrucks.

Nope. Not how that works. He did the salute. He went and showed his support for neo-nazis. If it quacks like a duck ...

I'm actually a Cascadian hippie if you'd like to assign labels. Hell, I will even let you call me antifa. But not supporting Nazis doesn't make me a Nazi.

I don't hate on people with different views. I live in a very conservative area. Most of the people I talk to on a day to day basis are still wearing their MAGA hats. I'm actually not a fan of the democratic party. But at the same time I'm not dumb enough to fall in line with the new fascist agenda. There's a huge difference between taking steps forward and burning down the system for personal profit.

Trump is an idiot with a personal agenda. Elon is a Nazi. And the people who don't see this are mostly poorly informed. I don't hate them for that.

But looking at your comments, it appears YOU are the one hating on everything different. Or you're just trolling, which would make you an idiot or a child, neither of which are worth having a discussion with.

It looks like my Pinewood Derby car that I made in Cub Scouts!

Fire your CEO.

Out of a canon, through some flaming rings, and into an empty bucket of water. If I have to watch a clown-show, at least make it entertaining.

Fire the CEO, for him to sell all his stock, recall all the trucks and go over them with a fine tooth comb for quality issues, force them all through safety tests and fix anything that's unsafe, lower the price by 40%..., get rid of the tracking bullshit, You'll still have a uglyAF "truck" but it might just be sellable.
