If Chevy had released this truck it would have been ended up like the HHR but worse.

It’s not even good at being a truck, aside from the other shit.

[–] finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

At least the HHR had a functional rear-view mirror

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

Well you could take it camping and cut vegetables with the doors. ...and use all the rust coming off it as an ingredient in your diy pottery glaze...that's about it tho.

All those retailer investors are going to get fucked so hard. They don’t even know they’re getting fed lies and end up bailing out the original investors who actually have money.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Hopefully they all ~~catch fire~~ sell.

Fucking autocorrect am I right?

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 7 points 2 days ago

Sounds like any fires we see now should start as insurance fraud investigations

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Oh no, anyway...

How is that $800 million WORTH? Is it a figure of speech?

[–] suicidaleggroll@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

Yes it's a common phrase. If an apple costs $2, and you have 10 apples, then you have $20 worth of apples.

They are really going to have to slash prices to move those trucks. 50%,60%75%? Even then will anyone want them?

[–] Trimatrix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I mean, if they are gonna get rid of it, I will take one for free. Free EV is a free EV if it breaks down 5 days later then I am in the same situation I was before getting the truck.

Just use it for the batteries and parts

[–] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Battery would be grand for a household solar install. Seats would be nice on the porch. The frunk can hold a lot of chicken feed, and the cabin would make a fine henhouse for a small flock.

I wouldn’t take one even if if was free

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I would, you get $1.25per kilo of stainless steel and $3.15 for aluminium at the local scrap metal merchant

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago

Take the battery out and use it for home storage.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Sure. Same. I could just throw a tarp over it on my way to the scrap yard, to protect my reputation.

[–] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Brave to assume it would make that distance drive, better hope there's no slight incline as that would invalidate the warranty

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Not brave at all. I assume I would need to tow it, haha!

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The fact that they'd throw a tarp on it implies they are towing it so no need to keep track of functionality.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Exactly the plan!

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

You'd drive it? Safer to rent a flatbed.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Hah hah hah. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 0 points 1 day ago

I would love for Tesla to have its management evaluated and filtered for Nazis. Then, when an independent company has removed and listed those nazis out, then I could consider buying from them.
