Remember those million pre-orders Tesla allegedly had for the Cybertruck, according to CEO Elon Musk? It’s getting tougher and tougher for the company to explain where all of them went.
After putting around 50,000 Cybertrucks on the road, according to a recent recall filing, the company appears to be out of pre-orders and desperately looking to juice demand. Case in point: It’s now offering up to $10,000 off certain Cybertrucks it has in inventory.
It turns out to be one of the least reliable, worst made cars on the road at any price.
Still uglier than an NFT.
The fact that it got a million pre-orders after he shattered 2 invincible windows on stage would have been a warning about the future of this place. Hindsight and all I suppose though.
And it’s the only Tesla designed by Elon Musk. The fraud bought his way to fame.
I love how you can tell exactly how it went down just by looking at the thing. Elon wanted a ton of specific and basically contradictory things, which led to a ton of compromises being made and corners being cut just to get it “done,” and the result is a literally flaming pile of shit.
Kinda feel bad for the engineer that had to bring a toddler’s drawing of a car to life but also fuck man, have some dignity. I’m sure his resume is good enough to go somewhere else if Elon fired him for telling him to pound sand.
I have a colleague who knows someone working at Tesla. Apparently Musk would walk the floor and declare “this isn’t cyber enough, make it more cyber” like the awful client in every freelance webdev joke of the last 30 years.
I’d be so tempted to tell him “cyber this, jackass” while flipping him off and walking out if I were there…
Bu but he knows more about manufacturing than anyone else alive right now! I laughed so hard when he said that, I dislocated my jaw.
