their “guaranteed buyers” just lost the midterms

For $120,000 I can but do much cooler vehicles.

Wheeled? Tesla Recalls Cybertruck Over Risk of Wheels Detaching While Driving

heh that gave a giggle. thanks.

Not really. There's a massive stockpile of them that they're trying to flog to the US govt. That might have become much more difficult since last week.

I actually saw one of those 'I bought this before we knew he was crazy' stickers on one in the wild. Like, no buddy, you were fully aware of the monster he was at that point.

I legit thought i was the only person who did this! A guy near my office owns one and started to recognize me in my lesser ev and now it’s a race to see if i can point and laugh before he flips me off. Now i change it up on him and shake my head at him while wearing the biggest, shit eating grin.

Maybe it’s petty of me. Or maybe we need to bring public shaming back to counteract the Elmo brainworm all these sycophants have🤷🏻‍♂️

My friends and I recoil in disgust whenever we see one. I hope Cybertruck drivers see nothing but grossed out faces. It's the visual equivalent of stepping in dog shit

I'm kind of surprised at how many of them I see. I'm not sure it's just that they stand out so much or if I live in an area (Southern California) where they're more popular, but they're so awful in person that it's hard to get my head around.

I fortunately have never seen one IRL, even living in a European city where people have more cents than sense.

I just call em Andriod Buttplugs

I’ve just been flipping them the bird from the get go. Going to continue that strategy

Elon demonstrates sales projections.

Weird the article didn't mention that piece

He thought sales would be up here...

80% of all taxi rides are 2 or less people.

They also have the model y which can do 5 people.

I thought so as well, but then when you think about it... most taxis are kind of just the back seat? Still weird not to make it a three seater bench though. I guess they want you to book two if you want more than 2 people, cha-ching.

so they can sell a 2nd cab to the other 2 people

No friends?

100% agree

They can part them out and make back a few bucks--batteries, motors, stainless steel, maybe the wheels--nothing like the ~$100K they're in debt for, though. Maybe if they strip the body off, some of them can build something useful on the chassis? Or, are they complete garbage?

EDIT: Ope, nope, they aren't built like that at all. I suppose most cars aren't anymore, everything is "unibody":

Hard not to hope the same for any moron who gave this pedophile money past his nazi outing

To be honest, I kind of liked how silly it was. Like a goofy low-polygon PS1 car. If the creator of it was just a quirky weirdo and not a Nazi I could definitely abide it as something charmingly ugly and weird

I'm pretty sure that Tesla stock is basically a money laundering scheme that allows oligarchs to pay him large amounts of money for being the one to openly fuck shit up (eg taking the loss to gain control of twitter, being the face of DOGE, openly buddying up with Trump, seeing what the response would be to giving a Nazi salute on live TV, etc).

I suspect he's essentially their lightning rod.

I like loudly pointing them out to my wife with, "Hey babe, look. It's one of those Nazi cars!"

It's really fun when there are other people around, especially the owner.

I'm a school bus driver. The only cars that elementary school kids get excited about are the ones that piss me off: cybertrucks, teslas in general, corvettes, lamborghinis. No other cars exist for kids.

Thank god we still have thin blue line punisher bumper stickers.

It's honestly such a shame. EV that looks straight out of the N64? Progressive, yet counter culture because of how ugly it is. If the build quality wasn't garbage and the CEO wasn't a nazi, I'd love to drive one.

Do they still keep them on the Whitehouse lawn?

Not sure that trump can do that now that team blue have their fingers on the congressional purse
