Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt
-
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.
Hopefully these people get double-fucked.
Moreso because they bought a swasticar from President Musk, but also because fuckyou to people who buy stuff just to resell at a higher margin. -
Regular F150s have single wheel drive.
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.

I give the gift of a free bird to any I pass on the street.
Are you Lynyrd Skynyrd?

I was referencing how Elon is suing companies for not wanting to advertise on X. But this is amazing, too.
Hmm, it's almost like he's an entitled billionaire not comfortable living in the real world with people who actually have free will! I don't care how many zeros, he's a loser.

Some may call this a bug, but I'd argue this is it's best feature
"People deserve to die for buying the wrong car. I am the good guy in this scenario."

I remember posting about how a guy with a cybertruck would be an immediate no go for me and I was told by a guy I was being too judgy lol
Being honest, if I heard about a woman that has cybertruck red flags (assuming you're cis/het), that's genuinely more attractive to me.

Is this the one they let musk design? Feels like a Simpsons episode...

Looking at the 2024 sales numbers of the lighting and R1T, the Cybertruck is selling well comparatively.
That said, I can’t imagine that the look of the truck, and the actions of Tesla’s CEO, are helping sales in anyway.
As others pointed out, the reason it did well were the 10s of thousands of preorders from years ago.

Are you Lynyrd Skynyrd?
I did go to high school in Alabama, and know somebody from Muscle Shoals ...

I wish journalist would stop calling this PS 1 Pontiac Aztek "futuristic"; it just highlights how shitty our future is going to be.
Ironically, the Aztek is way better, despite its age...

I've been following Edison Motors. EV and Hybrid both make sense and can work depending on the application. They managed some real work tests towing log trailers without the genset kicking on.
Personally, I would have a model line with the option to either have an all EV or hybrid drivetrain. Share parts from the battery to the wheel, but more batteries where the engine/generator would go if it's the pure EV option.
The Ford Maverick hybrid looks quite excellent
-
Apparently Elon hates it when you call them swasticars, so definitely do not do that.
I'm not sure why, but every time I see one I think of a giant tick that has guzzled way too much blood and is about to explode.

And I've heard the majority of his kids are IVF/surrogate... does Leon even fuck?

If you actually value low end torque over everything else, electric is a gimme.
Sounds like that's not your use case.
Electic motors are unmatched for torque and response time. No debate there but if you need to tow a big ass camper your range is going to suck if you dont have some hybrid config.
-
Also have anyone who understands basic car design point out why shit like door opening buttons are a terrible idea in emergencies. Or why requiring thr doors to lock during a software update is stupid. Or why putting electronics not designed for extreme heat is terrible. Or that trying to use cameras in bad weather isn't any better than human eyes....
Soon the origin of all those terrible ideas will be running the government.

The average use case for the majority of truck owners in the US does not involve towing. Light trucks are driven an average of around 30 miles per day, which is why I say for most people they're actually in a pretty good position, other than being pretty expensive vehicles of course. If you own a caravan or something and are doing regular massive road trips, you are the minority that these vehicles still don't cater to.
Most people dont need more than a ford maverick which isnt even a truck but as a hybrid vehicle is pretty good value even jf the longetivity is yet to be determined.

I'm sorry

I guess if Hitler was allowed to design a car, Musk didn't want to be left behind.

They bought a cybertruck. Are they really innocent?
Or they know someone who bought a cyber truck.

Who would have thought the preorders all dried up when they advertised it at $39,900 but launched it at $60,990.
