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

Not even Hitler would buy one. He's got too much self-respect than to associate with Elon.

Weird, I've heard Elon's pull out game sucks balls.
And I've heard the majority of his kids are IVF/surrogate... does Leon even fuck?
-
I'm assuming the electric f150 has greater than 1 wheel drive?
Which vehicles have that? The base cybertruck has two motors for AWD.

You're literally using social media right now.
Anonymous social media like this is not what people think of when someone says "social media".

The target audience is monied tech bro millenials who really wanted a warthog out of Halo.
The problem is that the overlap between tech bros and nazi lovers is definitely not 100%, probably not even 10%.
If they wanted a Warthog, they should have gotten a Jeep.
Or built one. There are at least three fully functioning Warthogs out there, I think. I've seen the one at Weta.

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.
Even most work trucks aren't towing very often. Even on job sites, most of the towed equipment is either brought in the first day and stays there (though with minor relocations) or it's brought in by the rental company, with their own vehicles.

Have they tried pulling out the "Make a vehicle that's not a massive and shitty death trap," or "Boot the Nazi from the company" stops? Because, I suspect doing those two might help it out.
The myth of Elon is still going strong. Now he's taking over government agencies. Not that it's the right move but keeping him on might keep the stock at the insanely overvalued level it's at. That's all that matters.

Which is mind boggling, as the Lightning seems like a good, attractive vehicle, while the cybertruck seems like a pile of shit
The Lightning has also been out for a few years now, so it's not the "new" thing. Also, I feel like half of those cYbErTrUcK purchases were people trying to resell them.
-
Does that mean Canada and Mexico will be sued if the tariffs don't make them beg to be annexed?
Trump lifted the tariffs. At this point I think it was just a smoke screen so there would be less coverage of Elon taking over the Treasury.

Which vehicles have that? The base cybertruck has two motors for AWD.
Regular F150s have single wheel drive.

It's an Ute, like the old El Camino etc.
Real pickups have body-on-frame construction with cabs and beds bolted onto the chassis separately, so that the bed can be removed and replaced with a specialized/custom one if necessary.
Calling it a ute implies some degree of utility.

As and when announced, it would have been one of the cheapest EVs. I’m not interested in a truck, but that announced price and done of the technology they promised, were very tempting. However now we see how preorders based on just an announcement are risky
Exactly, they were taking reservations at the $40k price for a really long time. I was looking to buy an EV in 2021 and at that price, it was significantly cheaper than anything being sold. I laughed at how fucking ugly the thing was, but it was so cheap that I didn't hesitate to put down a reservation.
Then when it was released, it was like $100k. Ain't no way am I paying that for that piece of shit. And in the meantime, Elon went full on Nazi. I could kind of ignore his dumbfuckery back in 2021 but not now.

Both can be true. I’m reducing my usage of the REALLY BAD social media and trying to make THIS social media better.
-
It’s a solid real world filter.
This is definitely more acceptable than “no social media” being a red flag. Got that one before lol
I give the gift of a free bird to any I pass on the street.
-
I mean it would fit well in Robocop or The Running man so I guess it counts
That's retro-futuristic, a very different thing.

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

LOL. I have a truck for towing and other truck-related things and am quite happy to help others with aforementioned truck activities when asked. The amount of times I get upset when people don't call me to do truck things is like, hmmmm let's see....zero. It is zero times. A shrug is all I might manage to evoke from the drama.
Do you get upset when people move without calling you?

Swasticar
Incel Camino

EV trucks will never make sense. Hybrids can but I have yet to see anything I would buy.
If you actually value low end torque over everything else, electric is a gimme.
Sounds like that's not your use case.

Yes! Shouldn't your parents tell you before you come home from school???
