Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt
-
They’ve gone a long way on flash and sex appeal but I think a little straightforward practical value would help them a lot. The market is awash in good competition now so their novelty effect is gone. And the sex appeal has ended for everyone except for 40k cyberdouches.

I still refuse to see it as a truck. The defining feature of a truck is its bed, and the bed on this thing is presented as an afterthought. Covered, undersized, impossible to access from the sides. It’s just a tank. A penis prosthesis for the undersized.

Elon is all this company has, just like Trump is literally the only thing going on in the Republican Party. The republicans are going all the way with Trump, straight down the drain, and Tesla will do the same with Musk.

I don't need the Internet to tell me not to like Nazis. As a decent human being it's just natural.

The well moneyed sort who buy Teslas also like to change cars more often than the rest of us. Some of them are going to even more expensive brands like Rivian, and there’s a huge array of less expensive, more practical options.
Here’s how I personally see the brand transformation. I don’t believe these people are so principled that they are dumping these cars in protest. It’s more that the appeal that used to be there: of being part of the future, of moving off gas and embracing clean tech to help save the world… that little halo just isn’t part of the brand anymore. Indeed Teslas all the time where I live with license plates like “BYE CO2” and “LOL GAS.” But no one is going to hop on board that Tesla hype train any longer. They are no longer novel, they no longer virtue-signal and yes have actually become a bit icky. But I think we’re just seeing the end of the mirage, not really any kind affirmative lashback.

I've hated him since the "that pedo guy" incident years ago.. I think that is when people started really waking up to the fact he's an incredibly insecure manchild. A bunch of poor kids trapped in a cave.. "how can I make this about ME?"

Are you getting paid to suck Elon's dick? This thread is full of comments by you supporting him. I don't know why someone would defend a billionaire so fiercely.

Hi Elon. No, we hate you because you know you have Asperger's, think yourself smart, but are blind to the fact that you need people in your life to filter your thoughts and actions to cover your weak areas and flawed perceptions.
Only a fool thinks himself beyond improvement. Elon Musk is a great example of squandered potential and self delusion.

He's just a toxic troll, check his comment history there's nothing of value there. It's real easy to block users on Lemmy, your online experience will be better off without him.

Look out, maybe you can soon dig up your own Cybertruck at a Texas quarry...

Nice, how about "Cars enabling Freedom" or "Autos machen frei"?

I got some advice for them: Fire your CEO.

Idk man, it was the Nazi salute and hostile takeover of the US government for me.
You fucking moron.

nah, i also enjoy pointing and laughing when i see a cybertruck on the highway

I certainly find it funny that Tesla's waiting list went from five years down to zero. Even Tesla's biggest fans who actually stumped money on this thing produced video after video griping about its price & brokenness.
But frankly it was kind of obvious from the get-go that it would be an expensive, uninsurable, lemony asshole death mobile. I wonder if the next time Tesla announces something and Musk spews lie after lie about it that people will start to cotton on that nothing he says can be taken at face value.
