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

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.

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.

Are you Lynyrd Skynyrd?

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.

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...
