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

You're literally using social media right 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 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???

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.

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...
