    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.

        I sure would want an overweight ford pinto reinvisioned as a modern brutalist steel casket that is less mobile than the original model-t.

        This fine piece of… engineering that:

        … struggles to run (and drive) in the cold…

        … has routine problems in humidify and (god forbid) rain…

        … AND elicits the same public response as a clown car …

        … Really just fills that void in me.

        … On my daily commute in my rental car to pay for the rental and my fortress of solitude on wheels that is out of commission - again - for another comical reason.

            Here in Canada they get vinyl wrapped pretty quick to help protect from the salt.

            As such they are pretty identifiable. There’s about 3 in my neighborhood I see from time to time.

            I actually thought they were interesting looking when they first pitched them. Would never buy one now though for all obvious reasons.

              I have a friend who wants to get one just so he can wrap it in a badly-aliased texture like the PS1 would have, just to riff on how much it looks like someone was scrimping for polygons when they designed it.

        I almost replied similarly, just means they didn’t sell many BASE models.

        I live in a relatively rural area outside a city “highway loop” and I see them all the time here. Someone down the road at a small business owns one so I see that one all the time but there are plenty around here and often wrapped in some weird colors.

    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

          Right? But it’s been like 7 plus years, longer really, at some point the FED and USG (US government,) won’t be able to hold up this house of cards. But when?

          The sad fact is they will bail these assholes out on our backs too, another straw, with the promise of trillions of straws on our backs. Something has got to give here. We are on an unsustainable path.

    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).

    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

      Driven by Nazis.

      Unprepared for China.

      Hated by Canadians.

      Ugly on the inside.

      Riddled with debt.

      No one’s really buying it.

    In a normal company, insisting on bringing the cybertruck to marked would have resulted in the CEO getting punted.

      Indeed it is. If it had amazing capabilities and performance off road, if it was bulletproof, if its body panels (and apparently wheels) wouldnt fall off, if it had perfect self driving capabilities… It would still be stupid.

      But it doesn’t have any of those tings. Its extremely stupid.

        the purpose of the cybertruck was that he can show the shareholders that he deserved that 56bn payout.

    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.

        Because they were very expensive and it’s nearly impossible to find other chumps who will buy them. They also stand out exactly like one would expect so even if you only have one or two in your city you’re going to see them every time they’re anywhere near you.

    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.
