Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt
-
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.
Or make a special edition. The Kristall Nacht with a red and black wrap or something.

Who would have thought the preorders all dried up when they advertised it at $39,900 but launched it at $60,990.
Were people allowed to cancel orders due to that price hike?

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.
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.

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.
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!

You mean this style of beetle?
I don't like cybertruck just wanted to point out the awkward history of WV
VOLKSwagen!

A nice white background on a red backdrop would communicate our bold passion

More likely to make the government buy them all.

Hey, thw Nazis have a slightly better UI than the c9mpetition, I really have no choice but to buy their stuff.

basically same thing though, just even more infuriating
-
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.
VW cars are built by Uyghurs, which, last I checked, are a surpassed minority in China, that has to work under slave-like conditions.
But I guess most cars are produced like this.

Is that "all stops", as in they will get rid of that guy who very definitely did a Nazi salute?

Personally, I'm holding out for the Tesla minivan.
Wow, it's beautiful and so futuristic! I bet Tesla could sell twice as many as the Cybertrucks of those. Provided he makes it bulletproof of course. The great weakness and the reason for the disappointing sales of the Cybertruck is that the glass isn't bulletproof, I simply can't think of any other reason.
