It’s a solid real world filter.
This is definitely more acceptable than “no social media” being a red flag. Got that one before lol
It just needs a good putsch.
Look out, maybe you can soon dig up your own Cybertruck at a Texas quarry...
This should surprise no one. The reception was poor, delivery was poor. It’s a niche market item in an existing niche market. On top of that, the de facto spokesperson of Tesla isn’t well liked by a lot of potential buyers.
"niche market," is a way of saying they made a bad product few want.
pickup trucks are hardly a niche product especially in the us
I don't think I'd call that thing a pickup. I'm not gonna run to the farm and pick up a 1000lb bale of hay in that thing. A Baja looks like it has more bed space.
In the words of a wise yellow character HA HA
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.
It's hard to find insurance for it, it's objectively terrible at its 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.
Is this the one they let musk design? Feels like a Simpsons episode...
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)
The Swasticar!
There were stops left that could be removed from Cybertrucks, still?
The best thing they could do for their sales is get rid of all ties to Elon Musk.
Have they tried pulling out the "Make a vehicle that's not a massive and shitty death trap," or "Boot the Nazi from the company" stops? Because, I suspect doing those two might help it out.
I wish journalist would stop calling this PS 1 Pontiac Aztek "futuristic"; it just highlights how shitty our future is going to be.
A couple weeks ago I drove past a Tesla dealership in Northern California. They must have had a dozen of these dumpsters lined up out front.
