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

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

OK. Then I'd guess it's him sabotaging the idea of EV's.

[frostythedoo@lemmy.world]

Give him some time. Once his cronies get everything working right he won't have to sue, he can just deny federal benefits to people who don't order a cybertuck and send their hearts out to him when they receive it.

I wonder how Tesla sales in Israel are going?

[gnulinuxdude@lemmy.ml]

I’m betting high odds he will force the federal government to buy them under the guise of a green EV transition. With trump’s full blessing, of course.

Tesla made 2.8 billion last year from selling regulatory credits. So they really didn't have to care how many cars they sold. But those surely are going away, so they are going to have to do some other government handout, which Elon is probably hand picking right now.

In the words of a wise yellow character HA HA

Na this is caused by immigrant

I saw my first cybertruck in traffic yesterday, I initially thought that some redneck had every part you need to make a car except for the frame and body, and was like "I don't need none of that fancy shit, I got square tube and steel plate!" and welded together the laziest design they could think of. Then I realized it was just a cybertruck, and promptly laughed at it.

[socialmediarefugee@lemmy.world]

Ugh. I can see this happening.

[socialmediarefugee@lemmy.world]

Who would've thought that a very expensive truck in an ev market that is lukewarm at best, add in a good amount of weird looks and unreliability, wouldn't be a big seller? I could pick from a conventional truck for a fraction of the price or this. People who bought it were doing it for show and now that market is tapped out.

[socialmediarefugee@lemmy.world]

I describe it as looking like it was made out of plywood

[chivera@lemmy.world]

Na this is caused by the radical left /s

[hawttism@lemm.ee]

Is this all you people do is bitch about people the internet tells you not to like? I am willing to bet money the only reason you hate Elon is because the internet gives you upvotes for saying anti-Elon rhetoric.

[hawttism@lemm.ee]

Do you live in reality? I’m willing to bet 5 years or so ago, you absolutely adored Elon. Now that Reddit and Facebook and TikTok are telling you to hate him, you hate him.

[hawttism@lemm.ee]

This isn’t Reddit. Why are you forward slashing? Jesus Chris, people left Reddit to leave Reddit. You left Reddit….to continue Reddit here? Also, stop using that fucking stupid forward slash s, it’s so lame. It’s the equivalent of saying “Oh yeah, I love standing on hot coals that’s sarcasm I don’t like standing on coals hahaha everybody look I’m joking.” We fucking get sarcasm. The ONLY reason to /s is you’re afraid of people downvoting you. Which is really really sad. You’re afraid of a fake internet grading scale. How embarrassing.

I'm still waiting for them to finish loading in.

[xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I don't like him because he is racist, transphobic, and attempting a Coup in My country.

[scarabic@lemmy.world]

It is jaw dropping that only 40,000 of their one million+ reservations actually turned into sales. Thats 4% conversion!

Also, trucks are not a niche market. And there is pretty minimal overlap between the kind of douche who wants one of these and people who object to Musk’s behavior. It’s designed for his cult, especially.

[hawttism@lemm.ee]

Guarantee you do nothing about it except bitch and cry “fascism” on the internet, while simultaneously never really knowing what fascism is.
You people show your low IQ every day, and I fucking love it so much.
“Elon musk is a Nazi fascist” - Yep. Hates Jews, hates niggers, wants to hang little Mexican children.
The fact you people think that’s actually reality is fucking insane. No wonder you’re all confused which gender you are.

[noride@lemm.ee]

Nah, I hate him because when you look past his wealth, his "accomplishments", and his fandom, you are left with nothing but a piece of shit human being.
