    The best thing they could do for their sales is get rid of all ties to Elon Musk.

    While true this still won’t make the Cyberdrumpf meet EU regulations. You can’t make it street legal here.

        Yeah because they were showing such restraint before.

              You mean this style of beetle? Nazi Germany unveiling of the new beetle 1930s

              The massive, massive difference is that the VW Beetle wasn't a shitbox for rich people. It's okay to say that once in a great while. the Nazis, despite being horrific in most ways, did have an idea that wasn't bad and this was that. The VW Beetle was an affordable car and if something went wrong with it, you could probably fix it yourself with only a small amount of automotive knowledge. You really don't even need to give Hitler credit for that considering he basically just told Ferdinand Porsche to do all the hard work.

              Not so much the Cybertruck. It was Elon's baby from the beginning and he took a very close personal interest in it.

              The Cybertruck is a bad idea. Even for rich people. It's been demonstrated over and over again.

                  It's hard to find insurance for it, it's objectively terrible at it's job, that's very few mechanics that can service it, It isn't available in Europe, it has terrible quality control issues, It is made by a company with terrible customer service, and it is made by Nazi

                  So many reasons not to buy it.

                    Except the Homer Car actually worked properly. It just looked stupid and had stupid "features" no one wanted but Homer.

                    The Cybertruck isn't even that good.

                        "niche market," is a way of saying they made a bad product few want.

                        pickup trucks are hardly a niche product especially in the us

                          Tesla just needs a new slogan or a good marketing campaign.

                          Something like:

                          Tesla - power by joy

                          Or "Kraft durch Freude" in German.

                          All that would perfectly fit the brand image.

                            Who would have thought the preorders all dried up when they advertised it at $39,900 but launched it at $60,990.

                            Exactly I thought this would be a purely functional truck at a good price, but for that much it is not worth it

                                        Importantly, the success of the Beetle also came after the Nazis. They built the factory using confiscated union funds as well as having people pay instalments for cars which they would never get, built two or three Beetles, then switched production over to war-time production, Kübelwagen. After the war the unions effectively took over the whole plant... and also bought a couple of farms to make sure workers and families had enough to eat. Most of that is gone now but they still have their own butchery, VW part number 199 398 500 A is a saussage.

                                          Until your Cybertruck is delivered, you may cancel your reservation at any time and receive a full refund of your pre-order payment.
