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

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.

For what it was spec’d at originally, I think more people would have been willing to consider it than would like to admit,

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Everything is a turbo now which is “more efficient” but there is no way they will last as long as the naturally aspirated V6 or V8s that would go for 400-500k miles.

You do know that turbocharged engines don't rev as much don't you ? They last longer.

A 1.8L NA Atsra put out 92 kW at 6000 rpm. The 1.6L turbo version put out 134kW at 2800 rpm.

It's just to make OP feel smart. A single driven axle with an open differential with one wheel on more slippery ground than the other would result in only one wheel transferring torque.

Good News: Now the nazi who owns the company can, via his role in the nazi government which he bought, can bail himself out.

They made Mexico city what it is. The beetle is legendary. And the program "hoy no circular" or "today you can't commute" was invented became too many people owned too many god dammed cars. So in the program they would allow you to use your car only in certain days. Additionally they modernized their metro system making it accessible for incredibly cheap. Not long ago for a few cents you could travel around the city a few stops. By comparison the trolley in sandiego is out dated as outdated can be and it only goes up and down the coast with only one rail heading east. Mexico city made a spider grid off they're system. Like from any peripheral location you can travel to the center or travel in the periphery towards another center bound rail. Its great. You can go anywhere without a god dammed car.
