Fuck Tesla. No bailouts for Nazis.
Cybertrucks are just sitting around, waiting for someone to officially label them the DeLorean of the 21st century.
Hey! You take that back! DeLoreans were always cool cars. Their demise wasn’t due to lack of popularity, the company just had problems getting established, and ultimately didn’t survive its initial growth phase.
Nobody despised the DeLorean, or it’s owner. They just ran out of money, and he tried a desperate Hail Mary play, that didn’t work.
And retail investors continue to bail out the investors with money who are actually making money. Watch out for that rug!
I am expecting them to end up as ICE technicals, used to hunt down dissidents like…checks notes…American citizens, children, and the elderly.
So your saying one will be able to avoid ICE by simply escaping on days when its raining?
I would pay 10 bucks to use them in my survival kit as a fire starter.
maybe they should try making their cars not ugly as sin
The main flaw of that thing is its bad engineering. The design was meant to be polarising and if it was actually a good car, it would work in its favour.
They are also larger then expected or needed. The one I see at work just barely fits in the parking spaces, width wise.
But that goes for pretty much any pickup truck. The whole category is an affront to common sense.
Next week: US Department of Defence announces purchase of fleet of Cybertrucks.
Already in the works:
State Dept. Plans $400 Million Purchase of Armored Tesla Cybertrucks
That’s just ridiculous. To spend money to remove infrastructure, out of hidden spite.
hidden?
Well barely. Their given reason is it’s “not mission critical” which is a statement veeeeryyy far from “We are doing it out of spite for electric cars” or “We want our oil narrative to hold from our highest echelons of social hierarchy” or whatever other insane reason
Can’t wait to meet the successor to M1 Abrams: the M2 Sad Tin Can.
But they sold $43 million in 72 hours! /s
You know, by stock market logic, this would mean they aren’t actually worth $800m
They’re only worth what someone would be willing to pay for them. What’s the scrap value on a cybertruck?
Simple economy actually. Supply exceeds demand, value on the market is lower.
On the stock market, you can do all kinds of fuckery to gain from this.Stock market logic, sell one cybertruck for $1m and your whole inventory is now worth 10x
If the stock market had anythign to do with logic Tesla wouldn’t be worth more than all other car manufacturers combined

If nobody wants them, then they are worth $0.
Jokes on you, I’d pay $1 for the lot.
They’re worth something as scrap, I’m sure.
You could definitely sell those for more then $0. The batteries alone aren’t cheap.
I was debating if I’d be willing to take a free cybertruck, your comment reminded me i could take it straight to the scrap yard
A while back, I read an article by a guy who had inherited a SwastiKKKar from an uncle, including free life-time charging. He didn’t like the idea of driving a Tesla, but free was free.
It wasn’t the reactions of others that made him throw in the towel on it, it was the poor build quality. He thought it felt cheap and rattley so he traded it in for a smokin hot Mustang. He lost a fortune over what the car was bought for, but it was free to him, so he didn’t care.
So somewhere inbetween as the article says “more than 10,000 units” and “$800m” so they appear to be valuing them at ~$80k/unit which is ridiculously optimistic.
My guess is closer to 1/3rd of that value but nobody likes to lose half a billion in the blink of an eye
Time to bury them in the desert right beside the ET Atari cartridges.
That is only if they catch fire.
$800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks
Cybertrucks aren’t worth the glass of the molotovs that ignite them.
Worth and cost are not synonyms.
It’s funny. They target people who burned the trucks, but insurance claims are probably their best chance to get paid for the trucks.
except the insurance might not even cover these, or they make the coverage cost extremely high.
Until insurers decide they’re too expensive to cover.
Light em up!
I want to drive one into a brick wall. Not with me in it or anything. I figure I could do it just by setting it to auto-drive into a painting of a tunnel Looney Tunes style.
I could do the auto-drive I wouldn’t mind
I’ll pay one thousand dollars cold hard cash for a new cybertruck
To salvage the materials and resell them or build something else from it?
Just be sure you have enough savings for the inevitable repairs, tows, etc.
You couldn’t pay me enough to take one those monstrosities.
If they came with the software tools and keys necessary to rip out all their bullshit and install my own OS then I’d consider takin one for free.
Strip out the batteries and motors, hook them up to some after market controllers, slap them in a classic car, and now we’re cooking.
Even removing the software, you’d still have something most of the world considers not fit for the road. You’d have to replace almost all of it and at that point you’re just building a new car from scratch.
I’ll give 'em tree fiddy
The photograph that says it all. Let’s remember Elon Musk for the Nazi that he is.
This photo is taken out of context, though. I mean, he slapped his chest before the salute, and he did it twice in a row… Ah shit nevermind, he’s a Nazi.
The hand on his heart really does make you think twice about the meaning though, just like it did with that other guy.
Am I the only one that sees Adolfo “using” it and Musk “feeling” it?
Wow. I had no doubt it was a salute, but seeing them side-by-side is chilling
That cadence…
You can just tell it was practiced in front of a mirror with the video as model.
You had me for a second there bud.
he doesnt look commited to it though, because hes doing the lip sucking thing that children do when they are unsure if they will get a bad reaction from it.
