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

Which vehicles have that? The base cybertruck has two motors for AWD.

Anonymous social media like this is not what people think of when someone says "social media".

If they wanted a Warthog, they should have gotten a Jeep.

Or built one. There are at least three fully functioning Warthogs out there, I think. I've seen the one at Weta.

Even most work trucks aren't towing very often. Even on job sites, most of the towed equipment is either brought in the first day and stays there (though with minor relocations) or it's brought in by the rental company, with their own vehicles.

The myth of Elon is still going strong. Now he's taking over government agencies. Not that it's the right move but keeping him on might keep the stock at the insanely overvalued level it's at. That's all that matters.

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.

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.

Regular F150s have single wheel drive.

Calling it a ute implies some degree of utility.

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.

Both can be true. I’m reducing my usage of the REALLY BAD social media and trying to make THIS social media better.

I give the gift of a free bird to any I pass on the street.

[eestileib@sh.itjust.works]

That's retro-futuristic, a very different thing.

Leon the Nazi can ask his dictator buddies, Abbott and the Orange Cockroach for a bailout.

Do you get upset when people move without calling you?

If you actually value low end torque over everything else, electric is a gimme.

Sounds like that's not your use case.

[pancakescantkillme@lemmy.world]

Yes! Shouldn't your parents tell you before you come home from school???

[tehworld@lemmy.world]

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.

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.
