Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt

I knew they should have built a real smoke and engine noise generator into the cyber truck. So that all those who insist on polluting, don't have to be left out.

If you do not revolt against the government, you will receive a free cybertruck as a replacement for your house, which will be too expensive to live in.

Each immigrant willing to leave voluntarily will receive a free cybertruck.

The US military, firefighters, EMT's and police force will get new vehicles! They will all start to use cybertrucks.

Uplifting news

Muskie boy, have you tried suing people to get them to buy the truck?

I wouldn't take a cybertruck if it was free, ignoring musk entirely it's just a bad vehicle.

The only place I'll drive a Cybertruck is in Fortnite because there I want my car to be unsafe.

I was one of those that put down a deposit and happily waited for this truck to replace my 25 year old car. Then after he called the diver/rescuers pedophiles, I was instantly turned off. Now I actively push others to not buy a Tesla and refer to all Teslas as a Nazi mobile.

Get fucked Elon.

It is not a good pickup truck regardless of Musk being a fascist

I got some advice for them: Fire your CEO.

I’m betting high odds he will force the federal government to buy them under the guise of a green EV transition. With trump’s full blessing, of course.

I think the reason Cybertruck sales have ground to a halt has to do with their CEO Department's way of managing things and breaking into Governmental Agency's Private Information. It's also the reason you will find "FUCK ELON MUSK" being spray-painted onto Cybertrucks.

Why isn't the puny, petulant man-thing that runs the Nazicar Factory not suing us all for not buying them? That's how you deal with advertisers who don't wanna advertise with him so why not consumers who don't want to consume?

It's the next stupid, asinine step.

I hope anyone who ever admired this fuck face is deeply embarrassed. Or losing money.

So... how long before the federal government buys up a couple million of these things...?

Tesla initially projected sales of 500,000 Cybertrucks annually and established production capacity at the Giga Texas for 250,000 units per year.

I’d have guessed coke, not ketamine, as drug of choice to make these estimates. Maybe he’s already counting federal agencies to be stiffed with the cyberwanker?

I certainly find it funny that Tesla's waiting list went from five years down to zero. Even Tesla's biggest fans who actually stumped money on this thing produced video after video griping about its price & brokenness.

But frankly it was kind of obvious from the get-go that it would be an expensive, uninsurable, lemony asshole death mobile. I wonder if the next time Tesla announces something and Musk spews lie after lie about it that people will start to cotton on that nothing he says can be taken at face value.

All DEI fault for this failure

/s (if it wasn’t obvious 🙂)

Has Elon Musk tried not being a fascist plutocrat?

Is that "all stops", as in they will get rid of that guy who very definitely did a Nazi salute?

Have they tried suing people who don't want to buy one?

I can't buy one, they are not available in NZ yet. Despite what anyone else says, I like the look, it looks like the bastard child of a delorian and a countach, but in a good way.

I wouldn't buy one despite the fact that I like it. It is far too big for NZ roads, I may have overlooked that. But I can't overlook the fact that Elon has, for me at least, destroyed any good will that was built up. Tesla and all the people who work there have been tarred with the Nazi brush that Elon is wielding.

The only way that Tesla could claw back any respect from me (and hopefully the rest of the world) would be to oust Elon, and all his family from any decision making in the company. It will not happen so my respect for them is gone!

Maybe they should include free Nazi salute lessons with each purchase and a bottle of Kentucky bourbon to get all the backwater inbred hicks on board to help spur sales of the swastitruck?

I saw my first cybertruck in traffic yesterday, I initially thought that some redneck had every part you need to make a car except for the frame and body, and was like "I don't need none of that fancy shit, I got square tube and steel plate!" and welded together the laziest design they could think of. Then I realized it was just a cybertruck, and promptly laughed at it.

Who would have thought the preorders all dried up when they advertised it at $39,900 but launched it at $60,990.

No thank you. I don't want a swasticar.

I'd love to have one of those new production old style beetles. But we can't buy them here because our govt sucks donkey dick.

This should surprise no one. The reception was poor, delivery was poor. It’s a niche market item in an existing niche market. On top of that, the de facto spokesperson of Tesla isn’t well liked by a lot of potential buyers.

Well if they'd stop putting signage with "Arbeit Macht Frei" over the entrance to their factories maybe they'd do better.

Bit like Elon, Never lived up to the hype

I remember posting about how a guy with a cybertruck would be an immediate no go for me and I was told by a guy I was being too judgy lol

Tesla made 2.8 billion last year from selling regulatory credits. So they really didn't have to care how many cars they sold. But those surely are going away, so they are going to have to do some other government handout, which Elon is probably hand picking right now.

Tesla just needs a new slogan or a good marketing campaign.

Something like:

Tesla - power by joy

Or "Kraft durch Freude" in German.

All that would perfectly fit the brand image.

Is this the one they let musk design? Feels like a Simpsons episode...

i wonder when ol stinky starts pushing somekind of law that makes it mandatory to buy one

Even if you ignore the politics it's just a terrible car that is way too expensive. I'm honestly surprised it sold any units at all but I guess people just like vanity toys.

Good News: Now the nazi who owns the company can, via his role in the nazi government which he bought, can bail himself out.

🙃

(fuck this timeline)

The Swasticar!

In the words of a wise yellow character HA HA

The best thing they could do for their sales is get rid of all ties to Elon Musk.

Good.

Have they tried pulling out the "Make a vehicle that's not a massive and shitty death trap," or "Boot the Nazi from the company" stops? Because, I suspect doing those two might help it out.

I wish journalist would stop calling this PS 1 Pontiac Aztek "futuristic"; it just highlights how shitty our future is going to be.

There were stops left that could be removed from Cybertrucks, still?

A couple weeks ago I drove past a Tesla dealership in Northern California. They must have had a dozen of these dumpsters lined up out front.

It just needs a good putsch.

Look out, maybe you can soon dig up your own Cybertruck at a Texas quarry...

Leon the Nazi can ask his dictator buddies, Abbott and the Orange Cockroach for a bailout.

Have they tried making a decent truck?

I just had a talk with a friend of mine in southern Ontario who lives in a farming rural area. He likes cars and often does searches for used vehicles in his area. In a 200km area around Brantford, there are over 200 used Teslas on sale down there over the past month or two because people are dumping them because they don't like the brand.

Yeah because they were showing such restraint before.

Cybercuck.

Is it possible to orgasm from schadenfreude?

I am shocked they sold as many of them as they did. I get that there are mindless fans, but this is quite an expensive and ugly commitment to make.

What a shock, the meme car only sold a few units before people were over it. LoL 😂

Not even Hitler would buy one. He's got too much self-respect than to associate with Elon.

Musk aside, it looks so goddamn stupid, I'd be embarrassed to drive around in it regardless. Like a cheap 80s movie version of what a futuristic car would look like.

And as Others have noted, why would you want a truck that looks like it can carry less stuff than a motorcycle can?

Tesla's were already ugly as sin and these things looked even worse. It's not surprising.

It's the price. I want a truck, not a Cadillac with a bed. A truck is meant for work not be a pavement princess. $50k was already high and the truck market is still stupid on price with most trucks going over $60k and Cybertruck starts at $75.5k. If the price was what Elon said when he announced the Cybertruck, it would be flying off the shelves $40k

The only thing Elon's ever pulled out of.

Turns out the group of people who look at mid nineties Laura Croft and think “that low polygon count asthenic is exactly how I like my women and trucks, I’ve got lots of disposable income to buy a truck that can’t do many truck things well, and I’m glad a far right ketamine fueled tech bro is running the company!” Is a small number of people.

Now if I could just get my 6YO to stop fawning over them.

Leon Skum is doing his best

I wonder how Tesla sales in Israel are going?

pulls out all the stops

I'm surprised those weren't optional, paid DLC

Strange I see them everywhere

got treasure money now, no need to sell overpriced junk

Are there brake problems again?

This news makes me smile.

Have they tried making a good car?

Elon should offer to pay the tariff for new customers.

Looking at the 2024 sales numbers of the lighting and R1T, the Cybertruck is selling well comparatively.

That said, I can’t imagine that the look of the truck, and the actions of Tesla’s CEO, are helping sales in anyway.

I wouldn't say it was a failure.

It sold quite well considering its price.

The original specifications and price were never going to be met,
