Love the “peasant trying to give criticism to the king without getting beheaded” vibe
It’s hard to know how many truly kiss his ass vs how many are afraid that if they say anything bad online he’ll make some calls and their car will stop working or their repair office will tell them it’s not fixable nor under warranty leaving them with an expensive pile of inoperable junk.
Being that he’s cancelled preorders of vocal critics and has been caught purposely breaking things for critical accounts before at xitter, it’s not actually that far-fetched a fear.
Oh yeah I didn’t mean to imply it’s irrational, it’s just very very funny
There is also a sort of rule with Tesla that if you make negative posts about their cars you get knocked down on the service list. Posts like this are basically service requests because of they get enough traction Musk will see and be might pay them to take it down.
Interestingly enough, there is weird place where i observed identical behaviour: computer game mods. True, they are usually free, but any complaints or questions are often delivered with massive amounts of asskissing in case modder in question is an asshole with huge ego (plenty of them are).
The car literally tried to kill him and his family, yet he still grovels like a dog to worship Elon.
What level of delusion is this?
That fucking thing dead ass LOOKS like original fucking PlayStation graphics in real life. Like dead ass.
I’ve never seen a video of it and I’m laughing imagining that it has vertex jitter irl
It looks like the hilariously blocky cars from future cop
Or one of Lara crofts pointing tits
I’ve seen a couple IRL and it looks so fucking stupid
Benefit of being a global southener is not seeing this shit when you go outside
Friendly reminder that these things cost near 100 thousand dollars and anybody who bought one is the enemy of your class.
i see them around my neighborhood… they’re the ugly as hell but there is always an uglier mfer driving it
Lmao it looks like an ugly van.
Why would anyone be caught dead driving that
I think being caught dead in it is the only thing it’s good for.

The ugly van is literally safer to drive/ride in.
Honestly I think the Cyber Truck is the most dangerous vehicle on the road today
One of Tesla’s “innovations” on the cybertruck is doing away with all the “messy” individual wiring harnesses and running a single one throughout the car which daisy chains into the individual components.
Which is why we’re gonna start seeing a lot more of these catastrophic failures soon.
So if something happens to this wire is everything fucked?
Yep. This is similar to the way ring circuits work, and those were done for the exact same reason: saving on copper. I lived in a building where all the light switches and outlets were inexplicably wired in series, and it was super fun how any time anything went wrong there would just be no power til maintenance came and fixed it.
Or any component along the daisy chain.
Had a similar issue with an old Passat where the head unit was wired inline with the dome lights and when the bulb burnt out the radio stopped.
Was probably a homegamer job though

capitalism is when no redundancy
God it is all blue checks just sucking each other off about power over Ethernet. Kill me.
The guy in that tweet viewing this as a positive
Why are people still giving Tesla money?
What a godamn cult.
Because the US banned Chinese EV imports
god imagine if Elon had to compete with ten different EV models that got similar performance at one third the price.
what do you mean similar, Tesla keeps getting called out for doctoring their performance, no PRC company has …
also PRC uses standard plugs… Tesla keeps bullying other manufactures into using their none standard plug… after we all agreed on J1772 and CSS… I am not bitter…
I just mean in terms of going a certain distance before stopping.
Agian I would say the PRC cars are better as tesla is known to doctor their distance
Not in the USA, but I’ve been seeing more and more BYD cars lately, really cool to see. My city’s buses are all CRRC electrics too. Had the libs seething over alleged “Uighur slave labour” lmao.
not all of them… they just get a hefty terrif and they do not get the EV tax credit. but we can get Volvo and Polstar EV’s and they are Chinese… I will stop my rant on how the US keeps knee capping them here … but I have thoughts …
So many people are wired directly into the propaganda. Their feeds are directly in the stream and they literally have no idea that Teslas suck, or any number of other things that we find pretty self evident
I have an acquaintance who bought a Tesla (not the truck) and has done nothing but complain about how shitty the build quality is and how cheap the interior feels. Instead of realizing that he got scammed, he’s just decided that he must not have gotten an expensive enough model, and is looking to drop $75,000 or so on the next model up. It’s nuts.
It really is wild how the design philosophy of American production is “build cheap bullshit and then charge more money so people assume it’s higher quality than it is”
It works with wine, so they decided that it probably works with everything else too! They mostly seem to be correct.
Real eye opener for an acquaintance trust failson when he admitted the $3 bottle of Aldi’s wine tasted about as good as his parents private stock $1000+ bottles.
This is the biggest secret of wine and you just blurted it out like that.
drop $75,000 or so on the next model up.
LOL
He’s convinced that this one will be really nice!
What would have to happen for him to dislike…?
If a Tesla commercial featured a PoC or a trans person.
I have to investigate further but I might follow this guy. It’s possible that he’s a bit made real.
Buying prototypes for 100k might be a bit risky.
Production car.
All of the reviews for this POS mentioned how the steering wheel wasn’t actually connected to the steering, it all runs through the buggy ass computer instead, and literally all of them tried to spin it as a positive by saying “it’s just like how modern airplanes work!”
The timing of “it’s how airplanes work and nobody complains about them” perfectly coinciding with it coming to light that all the planes we build are total pieces of shit was pretty funny.
“It’s just like an airplane, it’s doors are barely bolted on and everything”
I don’t think the fly by wire system has been the cause of any of the issues? Hasn’t it all been shoddy engineering work?
The post talks about “catastrophe failure” of the steering. Also a bad fly by wire system seems like it’s pretty well encapsulated in “shoddy engineering”
Catastrophic failure of the truck’s steering. I don’t recall a Boeing incident being due to the steering mechanism breaking.
Yes you’re right, it’s all engineering. I meant like cracks in the frame and stuff.
Oh shit my bad thought you meant none of the tesla issues were the fly by wire.
No as far as I know that hasn’t been an issue on the planes yet, but then again the fact the door wasn’t screwed on right doesn’t encourage a lot of confidence on any other system.
Another big Tesla stan and YouTuber took his on a roughly 1200mile road trip.
The range in the real world was so bad it barely got over 100miles before needed to recharge, Tesla also hasn’t realised/dealt with the fact that the charging cables on a lot of the Tesla supercharger network aren’t long enough to really reach the CyberTruck charging port because of its shit location, and the infotainment screen (which does basically everything) broke twice for hours at a time going black and unresponsive.
Despite that he still loves it.
Sunk cost fallacy I think. No one would want to admit they spent almost 6 figures on a hunk of junk that doesn’t even work.
A catastrophic failure so soon after release? These fucking things are gonna be on the road 2 years max and then it’s time to retire it.
hopefully diy people get some cheap batteries out of it
Alpha male with an alpha car lol
2 minutes in the sheets, 2 Years on the streets
I would say the reverse after yet another catastrophic failure.
The typical expected life for a passenger vehicle in the US currently is around 200k miles
Elon just wanted that 69,420 mile life
My van just cranked over 200k still going bb
But other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?
buy overpriced junk win overpriced headaches
