    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.

        Yes, if you're too young to remember what a forum is, i guess you can call it social media

        No not the same. Forums didn't revolve around media, they revolved around discussions.

        And I'm 37, thankyouverymuch

          I think the reason Cybertruck sales have ground to a halt has to do with their CEO Department's way of managing things and breaking into Governmental Agency's Private Information. It's also the reason you will find "FUCK ELON MUSK" being spray-painted onto Cybertrucks.

            Okay. You’re a Nazi too.
            If we’re just Willy-nilly assigning the word Nazi to anybody we dislike, then you’re a Nazi.
            See how idiotic that is?
            Admit it, you hate Elon because he’s right wing. And you’re too fragile to accept anybody thinking differently from you. Which lead you here, now.
            Embarrassing.

            Nope. Not how that works. He did the salute. He went and showed his support for neo-nazis. If it quacks like a duck ...

            I'm actually a Cascadian hippie if you'd like to assign labels. Hell, I will even let you call me antifa. But not supporting Nazis doesn't make me a Nazi.

            I don't hate on people with different views. I live in a very conservative area. Most of the people I talk to on a day to day basis are still wearing their MAGA hats. I'm actually not a fan of the democratic party. But at the same time I'm not dumb enough to fall in line with the new fascist agenda. There's a huge difference between taking steps forward and burning down the system for personal profit.

            Trump is an idiot with a personal agenda. Elon is a Nazi. And the people who don't see this are mostly poorly informed. I don't hate them for that.

            But looking at your comments, it appears YOU are the one hating on everything different. Or you're just trolling, which would make you an idiot or a child, neither of which are worth having a discussion with.

                Fire your CEO.

                Out of a canon, through some flaming rings, and into an empty bucket of water. If I have to watch a clown-show, at least make it entertaining.

                  Fire the CEO, for him to sell all his stock, recall all the trucks and go over them with a fine tooth comb for quality issues, force them all through safety tests and fix anything that's unsafe, lower the price by 40%..., get rid of the tracking bullshit, You'll still have a uglyAF "truck" but it might just be sellable.

                    If somebody like Trump’s words still get reported like they mean anything, Musk has a long way to go.

                    If things stay normal, I would expect anything Tesla announces to get reproduced in the news in full with a little caveat somewhere that says musk is known for optimistic or aggressive timelines.

                      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.

                      squandered potential and self delusion

                      It depends on who you ask. In our fucked up culture where money > people, productivity > humanity, and dominating others > helping others, Musk is the ideal grand vision for what a person with “potential” will become. He has the highest score, therefore the best results.

                      It’s a fucking tragedy how many people admire both him and Trump for the most horrible reasons.

                      (In before somebody explains how this is capitalism’s fault. But I’m not going to disagree, lol)

                          Seriously! They look terrible and the resale value is going to sink people. I wouldn't buy that thing if it was a dollar fifty.

                            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.

                            The Cyberbox! Imagine it! A box, with wheels! Don't need windshields because the cameras are superior.

                                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?"

                                Yeah up until then I though he was a cool guy; real life iron man and whatnot. That baseless accusation was just so incredibly out of character it made me question his character, and then his later actions made me realize it was always just a character.

                                  Probably would have helped if it didn't look cobbled together out of sheet metal for a low-budget post-apocalypse movie. I picture Humungus standing up through the sunroof chasing Mel Gibson.

                                    Tesla initially projected sales of 500,000 Cybertrucks annually and established production capacity at the Giga Texas for 250,000 units per year.

                                    I’d have guessed coke, not ketamine, as drug of choice to make these estimates. Maybe he’s already counting federal agencies to be stiffed with the cyberwanker?

                                      Imagining my new all electric commuting box with a high fidelity decal of Linus Trovalds giving the guy in the back a double fisted middle finger!

                                      With speed lines and fire ball theme. The reverse sound alarm is the same thing they use in kei trucks...cute Japanese voice model saying excuse me I'm backing up! For lights, we would want fog lights along with a fog horn, we would want 300w for normal driving, 5000w for blinding incoming traffic and flash bulbs in case anyone wants to follow me too closely. A green laser for traffic cameras, and an LED screen so I can tell the guy behind me things I did with his mother. " We went shopping together yesterday... At Victoria's secret!"....and that's the design and how I would end a conversation regarding Tesla trucks.
