The Cybertruck is the perfect metaphor for modern-day America.
Falling apart.
A danger to everyone, both inside and out.
Spontaneously catches fire.
Many of its passengers are trapped inside.
Described as the best thing ever by the worst people ever.
There’s probably more
Too expensive
Constantly watching you
Driven by Nazis.
Unprepared for China.
Hated by Canadians.
Ugly on the inside.
Riddled with debt.
No one’s really buying it.
Deliberately chosen by stupid and hateful people trying to make some sort of statement
All 173 of them.
Yes, you read that correctly:
Tesla only sold 173 of the Cybertruck RWD base model.
That makes sense.
If you want a Cybertruck, you want the all-wheel version.If you want a Cybertruck, you want
the all-wheel versiona vasectomy.Please don’t reproduce.
Can I have the vasectomy without the Cybertruck?
Join us in the “snip snip” club.
Both versions get stuck.
Are they not supposed to?
I don’t get it.They are, that’s how Elon is going to sell the Cybertruck 2.
I sure would want an overweight ford pinto reinvisioned as a modern brutalist steel casket that is less mobile than the original model-t.
This fine piece of… engineering that:
… struggles to run (and drive) in the cold…
… has routine problems in humidify and (god forbid) rain…
… AND elicits the same public response as a clown car …
… Really just fills that void in me.
… On my daily commute in my rental car to pay for the rental and my fortress of solitude on wheels that is out of commission - again - for another comical reason.
How many versions of the trashcan are there?
Iirc but cant be arsed to check, 3 models - base (rwd) mid range (awd) and premium (awd with a bigger battery)
“premium” 😂
I was living in Arlington VA near the new Amazon corporate HQ. I feel like I saw all 173 of those things.
I see multiple daily near Vancouver - how many are repeat I don’t know though
You should scrape an identification number into the doors, hood, roof, and rear. Just so you can keep track. For science.
It’s hard to tell when they’re all the same color.
Here in Canada they get vinyl wrapped pretty quick to help protect from the salt.
As such they are pretty identifiable. There’s about 3 in my neighborhood I see from time to time.
I actually thought they were interesting looking when they first pitched them. Would never buy one now though for all obvious reasons.
Most I see are just matte black
its also a very awkward vehicle too.
i saw multiple ones that were rapped with different patterns of collor. still ugly asf.
The best color I’ve seen so far has been gloss black because it kinda hides the shape.
I almost replied similarly, just means they didn’t sell many BASE models.
I live in a relatively rural area outside a city “highway loop” and I see them all the time here. Someone down the road at a small business owns one so I see that one all the time but there are plenty around here and often wrapped in some weird colors.
i saw a large in crease in tesla starting last year, as soon as people forgot about MUSK doing his doge shit in the wh, saw a increase in purchases.
Is VA the new DE?
DE is for ghost companies.
RWD=Really Weird Design
That probably just means that the Elon fanboys with enough money for it went for the higher-end AWD versions.
Some of them are built so the front doesn’t fall off at all.
It’s ‘beyond’ the environment.
Holy shit!!! I was uninitiated.
Well I should like to think so. What are the requirements?
Well, lack of initiation for one, I’m sure
Beat me to it.
No good reason for Tesla to still have a 1.5t market cap when Toyota sells 10x more cars at 300b, or ford sells twice as much at 50b. The quality sure isn’t better, and I doubt the margin on sales makes up for this.
The only competitive advantage is an egotistical nazi imbecile at the helm, and I only say it’s an advantage simply because they’re still holding value somehow
The market is completely divorced from fundamentals. It’s a casino, and the government bailing out connected companies every downturn has perverted the natural pricing of these stocks.
I wonder how long that can continue, somethings gotta give with all these straws they keep adding to the struggling camel, one assumes anyway
Right? But it’s been like 7 plus years, longer really, at some point the FED and USG (US government,) won’t be able to hold up this house of cards. But when?
The sad fact is they will bail these assholes out on our backs too, another straw, with the promise of trillions of straws on our backs. Something has got to give here. We are on an unsustainable path.
At least the front didn’t fall off.
Most of the time the front doesn’t fall off at all! Unless a wave hits it.
Classic. No, I didn’t click. Please don’t be Rick Astley (also a classic). OK I did click and it’s not. Here’s the context… Clarke and Dawe - The Front Fell Off - YouTube
Tesla is towing them outside the environment.
The most environmentally friendly thing Tesla’s ever done
It might be better if it was made of cardboard or cardboard derivatives.
At least the front didn’t fall off.
It’s not typical, I’d like to make that clear
just the wheels.
It’s a safety feature. You’re actually safer once the wheels fall off, because it can no longer go anywhere.
Bet it can still set itself on fire though.
The stock market is clownicized. That the flagship product of this company being dogshit, whose intrinsic value can’t exceed 10 billion didn’t tank the stock price that is currently valued at 1.5 trillion dollars, that gave the ceo 60 billion for hyping the stock price without producing actual income to justify that, well, it speaks for itself.
I would argue our bail outs are a factor in this, investor’s don’t fear a major downturn and are more reckless, knowing any large losses will be socialized from the backs of working people, their victims, while all gains are privatized.
Price to earnings is a sanity check. There is no sanity here (Tesla), nor does it apply to many such corpos, line must go up! The only sanity is (insider) knowing enough to get out at the right time, if you don’t, you’re the product (fattened pig).
Is this also because they didnt use enough glue?
It RUSTS easy, it slices hands, and deer in half, it works half of the time. it traps you in the car turning it into a COFFIN and might catch on fire.
bUt iT’s StAiNlEsS sTeEl! - as they drive away in their rust bucket.
And yet I still see people who bought these fucking thing often.
Because they were very expensive and it’s nearly impossible to find other chumps who will buy them. They also stand out exactly like one would expect so even if you only have one or two in your city you’re going to see them every time they’re anywhere near you.
And now, the wheels might fall off… Truly a utopian vehicle.
That’s not laughter, that’s the expression of a man whose protuberant hemorrhoids have just burst while he’s in public.
Edit - apt, really
No wonder this thing is banned in Europe. It didn’t pass the safety test. Luckily America has much more freedom and much loser regulations.
https://www.ecoportal.net/uk/europe-bans-cybertruck-massive-scale/114/
Looser regulations.
But loser regulations on quite a lot of things too.
Carry on.
Yeah. Whilst writing, I had RFK Jr on my mind so forgive my grammar.
All the cybertrucks here in Czechia (like 3 or 4 IIRC) have to have the sharp edges covered with rubber lol
In a normal company, insisting on bringing the cybertruck to marked would have resulted in the CEO getting punted.
Gotta pack the board with lickspittles and family members.
This thing is stupid.
the hot glue panel and gas pedal assembly is Musk genius. You don’t understand.
Why make it safe if you can still sell it to morons?
Btw, nobody sued them?
They likely made people waive their right to sue in buying it, welcome to the 21st century.
Airtight contract. Locked up tighter than a family in one of these things when they’re burning.
Indeed it is. If it had amazing capabilities and performance off road, if it was bulletproof, if its body panels (and apparently wheels) wouldnt fall off, if it had perfect self driving capabilities… It would still be stupid.
But it doesn’t have any of those tings. Its extremely stupid.
the purpose of the cybertruck was that he can show the shareholders that he deserved that 56bn payout.
And it sucks even as that.
The shareholders are morons.
The Cybertruck, or our current reality? I’m torn…
In this case, it is typical.
Who cant wait to buy one of their robots to take care of their kids?
