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

Constantly watching you

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago

Driven by Nazis.

Unprepared for China.

Hated by Canadians.

Ugly on the inside.

Riddled with debt.

No one's really buying it.

Deliberately chosen by stupid and hateful people trying to make some sort of statement

[-] yggstyle@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

Is this also because they didnt use enough glue?

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 12 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] derpgon@programming.dev 3 points 6 days ago

And now, the wheels might fall off... Truly a utopian vehicle.

bUt iT’s StAiNlEsS sTeEl! - as they drive away in their rust bucket.

[-] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

And yet I still see people who bought these fucking thing often.

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

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.

That's not laughter, that's the expression of a man whose protuberant hemorrhoids have just burst while he's in public.

Edit - apt, really

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.

[-] dellish@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Looser regulations.

But loser regulations on quite a lot of things too.

Carry on.

[-] stumu415@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

Yeah. Whilst writing, I had RFK Jr on my mind so forgive my grammar.

[-] derpgon@programming.dev 3 points 6 days ago

All the cybertrucks here in Czechia (like 3 or 4 IIRC) have to have the sharp edges covered with rubber lol

[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Who cant wait to buy one of their robots to take care of their kids?

[-] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago

🎶The wheels on the Cybertruck 🎶fall off and off 🎵

[-] limonfiesta@lemmy.world 193 points 1 week ago

All 173 of them.

Yes, you read that correctly:

Tesla only sold 173 of the Cybertruck RWD base model.

[-] Steve@communick.news 52 points 1 week ago

That makes sense.
If you want a Cybertruck, you want the all-wheel version.

[-] yggstyle@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 124 points 1 week ago

If you want a Cybertruck, you want ~~the all-wheel version~~ a vasectomy.

Please don't reproduce.

At least the front didn't fall off.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 6 days ago

just the wheels.

[-] ProfessorScience@lemmy.world 54 points 1 week ago

Most of the time the front doesn't fall off at all! Unless a wave hits it.

Tesla is towing them outside the environment.

The most environmentally friendly thing Tesla's ever done

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

[-] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 49 points 1 week ago

The market is completely divorced from fundamentals. It's a casino, and the government bailing out connected companies every downturn has perverted the natural pricing of these stocks.

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.

It's a safety feature. You're actually safer once the wheels fall off, because it can no longer go anywhere.

[-] dellish@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Bet it can still set itself on fire though.

[-] MushuChupacabra@piefed.world 22 points 1 week ago

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