This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I mean, if assholes can buy and flip houses, I should be able to buy and flip my poorly built cyber truck.
As much as I dislike Musk, I think this is a right move, as scalpers became a real plague during Covid.
But I am genuinely curious if they will ever sell it outside the US. This design seems far too dangerous for pedestrians and I can't believe that EU authorities would approve it. Aren't car hoods supposed to be of a very soft aluminium which is supposed to soften slightly the impact on a pedestrian in case of an accident? And what about if this monster is involved in front collision with some small car, like Renault Twingo here? I guess the chance of survivability of the Twingo passengers would be near zero.
Plus correct me if I am wrong but what happens if you have a small accident? Are they going to charge you for the full cast? Why aren't people more concerned about this? The repairability of this car looks terrible.
It was just up until last year that I dreamt of owning a Tesla. But now with all this shit and musk’s shit I’d be ashamed to own one.
I kinda feel bad for the people who already had one before Musk showed his ass to the whole world. It's like they need to put a disclaimer on a bumper sticker.
Oh he showed his ass long before the Twitter debacle you just had to look beyond the fake Tony Stark persona that had many people entranced
They should just break down, go full camp with it, and make it look like a Warthog from Halo. At least then it would have a gimmicky reason to purchase one.
Wonder how long it will take for body kits to come out for these things.
So this thing is really happening huh?
Not really, no. From what I read the first shipments are kind of a stunt because they still haven’t worked out their production issues. They are having to do a lot of work on each vehicle by hand. Which means each unit is going to have costs like a Bentley but be expected to sell for the price of a Ford.
I really think this is a Potemkin delivery.
So you don't own the thing you brought, you're going to be the biggest mug buying this
Can I set up an LLC and use that company to buy the car? Then, collapse the LLC, and sell the car at a giant markup to whoever’s dumb enough to buy it
Tesla is making it harder and harder to dare buy an electric vehicle.
So, basically you can rent one of these pieces of shit for a whole year, for free, as long as you cover the gas and mileage fees? Cool cool. I personally wouldn't take one if you paid me to, but that seems like a good deal for some people who may want to take advantage.
But if you resell it to some chump for enough money then that is just Tesla taking their cut of the resale.
They just keep giving me more and more reasons not to buy a vehicle from Tesla.
I recently saw my first Tesla Semi and also Tesla Truck in the wild. The semi was pretty cool but the truck looked like a toy or a prop and was smaller than I expected.
