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

Its basically a large hatchback

Or even better, get Olivier Boulet (of Mitsubishi infamy) to do their future designs so we can put the company out of its misery.

The main reason I bought a truck was to tow heavy shit, and this piece of fuck trash Cyber truck can't even do that without the battery failing after less than 100 miles. Meanwhile an F150 can tow six times it's own weight thousands of miles.

pulls out all the stops

I'm surprised those weren't optional, paid DLC

[homesweethomemrl@lemmy.world]

Cybertrucks are basically No Man's Sky but without the possibility of being good in a half decade.

Dag, yo.

Hmm, it's kind of like he has an established MO for when his businesses are failing due to his own poor decisions and lack of business sense.

[noel_skum@sh.itjust.works]

Maybe in the US they don’t…

eternally unfinished-but-really-close! full self-driving

Promised by next year since 2013

[magnetosphere@fedia.io]

This news makes me smile.

[saltesc@lemmy.world]

Yeah. A wagon.

[andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works]

I'd like a GTA singleplayer cheat making every police car a cybertruck that can't pursue you for long and would rather lose control and do a barrel roll than even get close to you.

[xthexder@l.sw0.com]

I'm surprised you mentioned the battery (which is a problem with any EV towing), and not the fact the hitch can just snap off if you hit a pothole hard enough.

[takeda@lemm.ee]

With all the trailer capacity available it will be able to carry one, maybe even TWO packages!

[grue@lemmy.world]

It's an Ute, like the old El Camino etc.

Real pickups have body-on-frame construction with cabs and beds bolted onto the chassis separately, so that the bed can be removed and replaced with a specialized/custom one if necessary.

[grue@lemmy.world]

Hatchbacks can fold down the rear seats to extend the cargo area. The Cybertruck fails even at that.

[neonachtwaechter@lemmy.world]

pickup trucks are hardly a niche product

Tanks camouflaged as pickup trucks are.

[corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca]

Does that mean Canada and Mexico will be sued if the tariffs don't make them beg to be annexed?

[corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca]

The worst El Camino ever?

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

I will hand it to Tesla, iterating on the Cybertruck design must have been really fast.

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

Eh, I think they're fine. They're unique while still being aerodynamic, which is pretty hard in such a crowded field.

I'm not a fan, but I can totally understand those who are.

That said, the Cybertruck throws all of that out the window and is objectively ugly.
