Well that was designed by one of the GOATs - Ferdinand Porsche

For what it was spec'd at originally, I think more people would have been willing to consider it than would like to admit, assuming the other trucks were still priced as is.

Instead they did the opposite and gave him the biggest bonus in world history.

Do you by chance live in a high CoL area?

Hakencruiser

I do, and even the bougie "conservative" assholes aren't that interested. They're more the decked out F-whatever and gas guzzler types.

I don't like to say it but a third party dealership was selling some painted ones that actually looked pretty nice. Nice enough to make me think that maybe the plan was always to pass on the cost to the buyer, it's so much better.

Or maybe it was just a talented... car painter? Is that a thing when they're just working with flat panels and no design?

That's it! We need to retire that joke or at least give it a 8 year rest

[rangerjosey@lemmy.ml]

No thank you. I don't want a swasticar.

I'd love to have one of those new production old style beetles. But we can't buy them here because our govt sucks donkey dick.

I'll admit it: a $30k EV with 600 miles of range? You'd be an idiot to not consider that, until it was proven to be bullshit and Elon was proven to be a full-on fascist.

Even if you ignore the politics it's just a terrible car that is way too expensive. I'm honestly surprised it sold any units at all but I guess people just like vanity toys.

[inb4_foundthevegan@lemmy.world]

Nononono.

It's that woke mind virus! Those infectious liberals have prevented true patriots from buying his shitty cars to proposely smash their fingers in the trunk.

[lud@lemm.ee]

Obviously no one, hence the article.

[etchinghillside@reddthat.com]

They’re referring to an open differential. If you look at an open differential vehicle doing a burnout you will see that only one wheel is spinning.

[nlgranger@lemmy.world]

They already suffered from his shitty actions, he did not become a terrible person overnight.

[lengawaits@lemmy.world]

Plenty of the east coast is high CoL. Not as much as in the west, but plenty.

[jeremyhuntqw12@lemmy.world]

I wouldn't say it was a failure.

It sold quite well considering its price.

The original specifications and price were never going to be met,

[atzanteol@sh.itjust.works]

"Wankpanzer" is the one I've been going with.
