Yeah but come on. They spent years making a “Delorean, but now its a truck!” that rusts in the rain, has barely 180miles of actual range, has a non standard pickup truck bed, cant tow worth shit, cost 60k dollars to start, had such shoddy workmanship that thd accelerator pedal cab fail and jam on, and they managed to sell a stunning 3800 of them in 6 months.
Whose got time for blockbuster, feverishly in demand 20k sedan when you have “a kool dude” like the above to work on for 3 or 4 years.

Actually, they’re speedrunning the Boeing approach.
“Announce new technological marvels while simultaneously slashing their workforce” is just two steps before “product falls apart during usage”.

I mean, cybertrucks get bricked in a carwash, pretty sure that qualifies under usage and falling apart

Honestly the welding and soddering joints breaking down in some vehicles is also a pretty good example of dropping quality. The cybertruck is a mess from the start but the other cars in theory are kinda ok, like I would fucking burn one if it was force on me but I think late 80s interiors are peak.

I thought Teslas were already doing that. 🤔
