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

For what it was spec’d at originally, I think more people would have been willing to consider it than would like to admit,

I'll admit it: a $30k EV with 600 miles of range? You'd be an idiot to not consider that, until it was proven to be bullshit and Elon was proven to be a full-on fascist.

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.

Nononono.

It's that woke mind virus! Those infectious liberals have prevented true patriots from buying his shitty cars to proposely smash their fingers in the trunk.

Obviously no one, hence the article.

They’re referring to an open differential. If you look at an open differential vehicle doing a burnout you will see that only one wheel is spinning.

They already suffered from his shitty actions, he did not become a terrible person overnight.

Plenty of the east coast is high CoL. Not as much as in the west, but plenty.

I wouldn't say it was a failure.

It sold quite well considering its price.

The original specifications and price were never going to be met,

"Wankpanzer" is the one I've been going with.

Everything is a turbo now which is “more efficient” but there is no way they will last as long as the naturally aspirated V6 or V8s that would go for 400-500k miles.

You do know that turbocharged engines don't rev as much don't you ? They last longer.

A 1.8L NA Atsra put out 92 kW at 6000 rpm. The 1.6L turbo version put out 134kW at 2800 rpm.

It's just to make OP feel smart. A single driven axle with an open differential with one wheel on more slippery ground than the other would result in only one wheel transferring torque.

Good News: Now the nazi who owns the company can, via his role in the nazi government which he bought, can bail himself out.

(fuck this timeline)

They made Mexico city what it is. The beetle is legendary. And the program "hoy no circular" or "today you can't commute" was invented became too many people owned too many god dammed cars. So in the program they would allow you to use your car only in certain days. Additionally they modernized their metro system making it accessible for incredibly cheap. Not long ago for a few cents you could travel around the city a few stops. By comparison the trolley in sandiego is out dated as outdated can be and it only goes up and down the coast with only one rail heading east. Mexico city made a spider grid off they're system. Like from any peripheral location you can travel to the center or travel in the periphery towards another center bound rail. Its great. You can go anywhere without a god dammed car.

It's hard to find insurance for it, it's objectively terrible at it's job, that's very few mechanics that can service it, It isn't available in Europe, it has terrible quality control issues, It is made by a company with terrible customer service, and it is made by Nazi

So many reasons not to buy it.

[echodot@feddit.uk]

Rich enough to own a cyber truck, but not bright enough not to own a cyber truck. Yeah it's what they "call look at me" energy.

Politics notwithstanding people like that are just tiring to be around.

[echodot@feddit.uk]

Few it fewer people are actually using Facebook and similar to share their lives because it just feels really intrusive.

Mostly because how much advertising is now showed down your throats.

If they want to know more about me I can share my camera feed but it's like 98% cat photos.

If they're not branded by right-wing personality I'm not interested.

[echodot@feddit.uk]

People would have probably accepted the fascistness as well. If the car had come out as advertised.

[echodot@feddit.uk]

So things are going to go downhill real fast, is what you're saying
