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

• faltryka@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  One of the things I love about my Lightning is that it doesn’t look like a fucking cybertruck

    Other truck makers tend to let their vehicles fully render.

      I will hand it to Tesla, iterating on the Cybertruck design must have been really fast.

        Iteration 1 in play

    The Lightning really is a nice looking truck.

    The trapezoid Minecraft Cybertruck Deplorian— not so much…

      Deplorian

      I’ll be borrowing that one.

      Hey, that is a very hurtful thing to say about Minecraft. Please don’t compare it to that rolling dumpster fire

      Deplorian… Made me snarf. My previous go to, overheard a while back, Incel Camino.

        “Wankpanzer” is the one I’ve been going with.

    I’m not a Ford guy, but they do look pretty good.

• spankmonkey@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  They shipped 39k cybertrucks for backlogged preorders that were based on a completely different description of what the truck would be.

  • homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Well yeah, but to be fair, they were lying.

    source
• Damage@feddit.it ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Which is mind boggling, as the Lightning seems like a good, attractive vehicle, while the cybertruck seems like a pile of shit

  • Nollij@sopuli.xyz ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I have no need for a truck, and I still considered getting one. The Lightning is very impressive all around.

  • hovercat@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The Lightning has also been out for a few years now, so it’s not the “new” thing. Also, I feel like half of those cYbErTrUcK purchases were people trying to resell them.

    • TehWorld@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Hopefully these people get double-fucked. Moreso because they bought a swasticar from President Musk, but also because fuckyou to people who buy stuff just to resell at a higher margin.

  I’m assuming the electric f150 has greater than 1 wheel drive?

  • TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I guess making a search online is the one thing slightly more difficult than making an assumption.

      You gotta love these comments in forums. Like the whole point of being here is to discuss and people like this are literally telling you to leave the site. Very useful, much contributions.

        OK, but what the hell was that person on about though?

        source
  • ShepherdPie@midwest.social ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Actually most vehicles are only 1-wheel drive unless they have a locker or similar installed (4x4 would be “2-wheel drive”).

    source
  • catloaf@lemm.ee ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Which vehicles have that? The base cybertruck has two motors for AWD.

    source

    • varyingExpertise@feddit.org ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’s just to make OP feel smart. A single driven axle with an open differential with one wheel on more slippery ground than the other would result in only one wheel transferring torque.

      source
    • roofuskit@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Regular F150s have single wheel drive.

      source

      • catloaf@lemm.ee ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Can you explain? I’m not much into cars, but that doesn’t sound right to me. A quick Google suggests maybe you’re referring to the open differential, but I don’t think that means that only one wheel is powered.
