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

Well, ackshually

Beetle was a copy of a Tatra anyway.

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.

Cybertruck = Homer car
-
Made by under-paid awesome people that got themselves stuck working for an idiotic wannabe pseudo-Nazi.
-
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.
-
Eww! Don't eat THAT longpig. Cannibals have values.
-
And the cybertruck is hardly a pickup truck. What were you saying?
-
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.
-
Exactly I thought this would be a purely functional truck at a good price, but for that much it is not worth it
-
You mean These people
-
Bit like Elon,
Never lived up to the hype -
Or make a special edition. The Kristall Nacht with a red and black wrap or something.

Were people allowed to cancel orders due to that price hike?

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.

Tesla fan here, this is kind of accurate. I wouldn't call it terrible, but the aluminum chassis means it has towing limitations, the small battery doesn't have nearly as much range as most other Tesla's and it gets worse if you're towing, plus not everybody wants to drive the Halo truck.
Double the range or cut the price by 30% and you have an interesting car, as it is now I look at it as a first generation attempt. -
Could even decorate it with a pattern based on an asian symbol commonly found on temples!

VOLKSwagen!
