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

[ahemlockslie@lemmy.zip]

More likely to make the government buy them all.

[ripcord@lemmy.world]

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

[reksas@sopuli.xyz]

basically same thing though, just even more infuriating

[petter1@lemm.ee]

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.

[kiwi_fella@lemmy.world]

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

[buffalox@lemmy.world]

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.

[rangerjosey@lemmy.ml]

I'm talking about the ones made in Mexico.

[petter1@lemm.ee]

Yea, it seems like beetle is one of the few models not produced in China (according one propter of chatGPT, so some salt is required )

It seems to me, that the cars needed in the biggest quantities and Budget EVs are produced in China.

There are no smoke screens with this government. They don't "do X to cover for Y." None of it is "a distraction." They're impulsive children. They do X because they want to do X. But what they have learned is that if you move fast and do a lot of bad things all at once, you usually get away with at least some of them.

[notfromhere@lemmy.ml]

All they had to do was build a solid, reliable truck, and not be fascist. Instead they build a poorly glued together piece of shit and sieg heil. I fucking hate this timeline.

A german asian mix. That is so forward thinking.

[jericho_kane@lemmy.org]

Best they can do is promote him.

[joebigelow@lemmy.ca]

What do you get for a guy whose dick gets sucked by the president?

[jericho_kane@lemmy.org]

But they also scammed people into spending money on a Volkswagen that they never delivered and took the money to support the war effort.

[bronzebeard@lemm.ee]

There were stops left that could be removed from Cybertrucks, still?

[jericho_kane@lemmy.org]

The car is objectively terrible. It's ha heavy duty car that can't do heavy duty things. The cybertruck has two things that it does well. It goes fast when you hit the accelerator and the sound system is really good. Everything else is extremely shitty, and a complete lie

[forrgott@lemm.ee]

I fucking hate this timeline.

I keep seeing people say this. However, hate is what created this timeline. I don't believe it's what will get us into a new one.

I mean no offense towards you; I want you to know this. I guess I just finally realized what it is that bothers me about that statement. In fact, I share your sentiment. Because not only are they poorly made, common sense safety measures are removed and replaced with poorly engineered crap that traps people, while other badly designed components catch fire and burn them to death.

[mpony@lemmy.world]

Don't hate the timeline, hate the news.
There are real people out there still trying to make the world work, getting stepped on, pushed over, marginalized, silenced. They need you. They need all of us.
Do not let The Bastards win.

(I'm still workshopping the "don't hate the player hate the game" - suggestions are welcome. Words can still inspire people, even before coffee)

[notfromhere@lemmy.ml]

First time I’ve used this phrase, myself. But I had such hope for the future and I guess I am finally admitting my hope is gone.

[notfromhere@lemmy.ml]

Thanks, friend. Much needed words. Maybe I’ll put my decades of counter strike to good use at some point.
