This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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 version~~ a vasectomy.
Please don't reproduce.
Can I have the vasectomy without the Cybertruck?
Join us in the "snip snip" club.
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)
I was living in Arlington VA near the new Amazon corporate HQ. I feel like I saw all 173 of those things.
RWD=Really Weird Design
Some of them are built so the front doesn't fall off at all.
It's 'beyond' the environment.
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
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).
It's a safety feature. You're actually safer once the wheels fall off, because it can no longer go anywhere.
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
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
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 now, the wheels might fall off... Truly a utopian vehicle.
Is this also because they didnt use enough glue?
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.

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.
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.
In this case, it is typical.
This thing is stupid.
the hot glue panel and gas pedal assembly is Musk genius. You don't understand.
🎶The wheels on the Cybertruck 🎶fall off and off 🎵
A-hahahahahahaha. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! breathes deeply AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I didn't realize they offered a NWD option.
