To be fair to Hitler, his cars weren't trash
Beetle was a copy of a Tatra anyway.

You mean this style of beetle?
I don't like cybertruck just wanted to point out the awkward history of WV
The massive, massive difference is that the VW Beetle wasn't a shitbox for rich people. It's okay to say that once in a great while. the Nazis, despite being horrific in most ways, did have an idea that wasn't bad and this was that. The VW Beetle was an affordable car and if something went wrong with it, you could probably fix it yourself with only a small amount of automotive knowledge. You really don't even need to give Hitler credit for that considering he basically just told Ferdinand Porsche to do all the hard work.
Not so much the Cybertruck. It was Elon's baby from the beginning and he took a very close personal interest in it.
The Cybertruck is a bad idea. Even for rich people. It's been demonstrated over and over again.

Cybertruck = Homer car

It's hard to find insurance for it, it's objectively terrible at it's job, that's very few mechanics that can service it, It isn't available in Europe, it has terrible quality control issues, It is made by a company with terrible customer service, and it is made by Nazi
So many reasons not to buy it.
Made by under-paid awesome people that got themselves stuck working for an idiotic wannabe pseudo-Nazi.

Except the Homer Car actually worked properly. It just looked stupid and had stupid "features" no one wanted but Homer.
The Cybertruck isn't even that good.

Elong Pork
Eww! Don't eat THAT longpig. Cannibals have values.

"niche market," is a way of saying they made a bad product few want.
pickup trucks are hardly a niche product especially in the us
And the cybertruck is hardly a pickup truck. What were you saying?

Tesla just needs a new slogan or a good marketing campaign.
Something like:
Tesla - power by joy
Or "Kraft durch Freude" in German.
All that would perfectly fit the brand image.
-
Who would have thought the preorders all dried up when they advertised it at $39,900 but launched it at $60,990.
Exactly I thought this would be a purely functional truck at a good price, but for that much it is not worth it
-
Have they tried suing people who don't want to buy one?
You mean These people

Bit like Elon,
Never lived up to the hype -

Or make a special edition. The Kristall Nacht with a red and black wrap or something.

Were people allowed to cancel orders due to that price hike?

Importantly, the success of the Beetle also came after the Nazis. They built the factory using confiscated union funds as well as having people pay instalments for cars which they would never get, built two or three Beetles, then switched production over to war-time production, Kübelwagen. After the war the unions effectively took over the whole plant... and also bought a couple of farms to make sure workers and families had enough to eat. Most of that is gone now but they still have their own butchery, VW part number 199 398 500 A is a saussage.

Until your Cybertruck is delivered, you may cancel your reservation at any time and receive a full refund of your pre-order payment.

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.
Tesla fan here, this is kind of accurate. I wouldn't call it terrible, but the aluminum chassis means it has towing limitations, the small battery doesn't have nearly as much range as most other Tesla's and it gets worse if you're towing, plus not everybody wants to drive the Halo truck.
Double the range or cut the price by 30% and you have an interesting car, as it is now I look at it as a first generation attempt. -

Could even decorate it with a pattern based on an asian symbol commonly found on temples!
