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

[surewhynotlem@lemmy.world]

Pepsi is using EV semis going cross county. Never say never

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

[shikitohno@lemm.ee]

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.

[morrowind@lemmy.ml]

Well that would make you in the 10% of people actually using their truck

[pagpag@lemmy.world]

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

[pagpag@lemmy.world]

I bought a truck as a back up to my daily and weekend warrior, purely for towing and dirty jobs.

Always used my daily with a tow hitch for most things and honestly still pick it with a 6x8’ trailer on occasion over my truck often because it’s easier to maneuver…

A few of us exist

Some may call this a bug, but I'd argue this is it's best feature

[but_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world]

Imagine a cyber truck bro listening to Joe Rogan in that thing. How does that not make every woman in sight instantly aroused?? /s

[but_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world]

I mean it would fit well in Robocop or The Running man so I guess it counts

[mitchie151@lemmy.world]

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.

Now if I could just get my 6YO to stop fawning over them.

[hark@lemmy.world]

I am shocked they sold as many of them as they did. I get that there are mindless fans, but this is quite an expensive and ugly commitment to make.

[grimy@lemmy.world]

This is valid just on taste alone. The thing was ugly even before Elon started his descent into madness.

[pancakescantkillme@lemmy.world]

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.

[casmael@lemm.ee]

So much of the promo for the Tim and Eric mandatory attendance world tour 2020 has come true it’s fucking insane, man

[zorque@lemmy.world]

Are there brake problems again?

[foofy@lemmy.world]

I think a generator for that purpose would likely make a lot more sense. I can't see buying an electric truck just so you can use its battery to weld. Maybe that's a nice to have at best.

[bitchkat@lemmy.world]

That might be the biggest harbinger of whether musk or Trump is running things. Trump has banned fed government from buying EV.
