Tesla fan here, this is kind of accurate. I wouldn’t call it terrible, but the aluminum chassis means it has towing limitations, the small battery doesn’t have nearly as much range as most other Tesla’s and it gets worse if you’re towing, plus not everybody wants to drive the Halo truck. Double the range or cut the price by 30% and you have an interesting car, as it is now I look at it as a first generation attempt.

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.

Hey, thw Nazis have a slightly better UI than the c9mpetition, I really have no choice but to buy their stuff.

This is a genuine argument people are making to justify why they’re still buying Nazi shit. Right now.

I realize the American educational system has gone downhill, but surely at some point somebody taught you the concept of nuance? That not everything is black or white, good or evil? That sometimes things are shades of gray? Sometimes good people do bad things, bad people do good things, etc? And that not everything is as it first appears at face value, you have to look deeper to understand?
I for one am very much a student of nuance.
I think we would both agree that of late, Elon has somewhat gone off the rails. But that doesn’t mean everything he has ever done or ever will do is automatically bad. I can dislike his current politics and the way he is approaching this efficiency project, without having to shit on everything he’s ever done.
Thus, I remain a fan of SpaceX and Tesla, for the simple reason that they both lead their respective fields technology-wise. As someone who has owned a Tesla for years (going back to the days when everybody loved Elon), I can confidently say from personal first-hand experience that it is a fantastic car. The fact that I now disagree with many of its founder’s politics doesn’t change the car in my driveway. It was a fantastic car when I bought it and it’s an even more fantastic car now as FSD gets further refined.
I ask, for the good of our nation, please avoid black and white thinking. A population unable to grasp nuance and uninterested in looking deeper for motivations and questions below the surface is easily manipulated with range bait news. Republicans have been doing this for decades. Democrats have just started in the last 4 or 5 years.

I don’t do nuance with Nazi shit, sorry.
Didn’t bother reading past that nonsense. Glad you got some writing exercise in, though.

The car is objectively terrible. It’s ha heavy duty car that can’t do heavy duty things. The cybertruck has two things that it does well. It goes fast when you hit the accelerator and the sound system is really good. Everything else is extremely shitty, and a complete lie

It has a bold futuristic exterior design and looks.

It looks like something out of an 80s car video game.

It’s hard to find insurance for it, it’s objectively terrible at it’s job, that’s very few mechanics that can service it, It isn’t available in Europe, it has terrible quality control issues, It is made by a company with terrible customer service, and it is made by Nazi
So many reasons not to buy it.

Made by under-paid awesome people that got themselves stuck working for an idiotic wannabe pseudo-Nazi.
