If you do not revolt against the government, you will receive a free cybertruck as a replacement for your house, which will be too expensive to live in.
Each immigrant willing to leave voluntarily will receive a free cybertruck.
The US military, firefighters, EMT’s and police force will get new vehicles! They will all start to use cybertrucks.
Do they still let you charge for free on the Tesla network?
Charge it during the day, run your house off of it at night when you are home. Save electricity.
Thanks to Elon, inspecting governmental bodies, regulations and regulators will be dissolved, so probably the cybertruck will be an amazing camp fire, better known as a dumbster fire, due to spontaneous combustion like Chinese cars in China. Then to blame it on trans people or something.

You joke, but I can 100% see this happening.
That’s unlikely. You need to get grants from the federal government, chiefly the DHS, to get money to buy major equipment. There ain’t anymore federal grants remember. Small volunteer, (70% of all fire depts in the US), services are especially reliant on those grants to replace major assets.

Uplifting news
Muskie boy, have you tried suing people to get them to buy the truck?
According to Musk, it’s a crime to not buy the cybertruck
Has Elon Musk tried not being a fascist plutocrat?
I wouldn’t take a cybertruck if it was free, ignoring musk entirely it’s just a bad vehicle.
The only place I’ll drive a Cybertruck is in Fortnite because there I want my car to be unsafe.
I even purposely avoided the free Fortnite Cybertruck.
based
My boys specifically go after anyone in a Fortnite cyber truck.
This isn’t the slam dunk you think it is, it’s a battle royale game… Everyone is going after everyone.
I wouldn’t take a cybertruck if it was free
You’re being ridiculous, why would you seriously think that? That kind of internet opinion doesn’t hold up in real life. I would absolutely take a free Cybertruck, I’ve long dreamed of making my own car bomb.
I know we’re having fun here but I genuinely imagine it would be a complete fucking nightmare as soon as anything went wrong with it and I would absolutely not be willing to pay for repairs.
No his opinion is absolutely correct. Its unsafe on just about every consumer aspect. It was cutting off fingers. It was ruling. In a crash its a nightmare. I also Wouldn’t take one ifmitmwas free (unless im ok selling it without ever having to drive it)
Its a murderbox coffin on wheels.
It just needs a good putsch.
Maybe they should include free Nazi salute lessons with each purchase and a bottle of Kentucky bourbon to get all the backwater inbred hicks on board to help spur sales of the swastitruck?
hey don’t you disparage bourbon like that. bourbon isn’t a fascist :c I hope
I can’t buy one, they are not available in NZ yet. Despite what anyone else says, I like the look, it looks like the bastard child of a delorian and a countach, but in a good way.
I wouldn’t buy one despite the fact that I like it. It is far too big for NZ roads, I may have overlooked that. But I can’t overlook the fact that Elon has, for me at least, destroyed any good will that was built up. Tesla and all the people who work there have been tarred with the Nazi brush that Elon is wielding.
The only way that Tesla could claw back any respect from me (and hopefully the rest of the world) would be to oust Elon, and all his family from any decision making in the company. It will not happen so my respect for them is gone!
Will they ever be available? Completely illegal in the UK as it’d never pass the safety tests. After all, that front hitting someone would be insta-death.
I’m not sure.
They don’t seem much more dangerous than the new breed of massive flat nosed ute’s that I see around.
If a pedestrian gets hit at any kind of speed by an ute, they are fucked.
I was one of those that put down a deposit and happily waited for this truck to replace my 25 year old car. Then after he called the diver/rescuers pedophiles, I was instantly turned off. Now I actively push others to not buy a Tesla and refer to all Teslas as a Nazi mobile.
Get fucked Elon.
Fucking why dude? Elon shit aside, you ostensibly knew what this thing looked like, right?
The thing is, for a truck that’s used for truck shit, functionality, practicality, and reliability are probably the most important. Styling will always be relevant to customers, but should be a secondary concern for a tough utilitarian vehicle.
It’s too bad they flipped those priorities and made an overpriced junky status symbol. I think Elon wanting people to see the “amazing” design was one of the main drivers behind it getting released when it did. It was clearly not ready 5 years ago since it’s still not ready now.
I honestly don’t mind the design. Sure some people hate it, but I didn’t care about others opinions on my car. That’s why my current vehicle is 25 years old. At that time, I was looking for a larger EV and during that time large EVs were nonexistent.
What sold me was the functionality. The concept had bench front row seating so I could seat 6(which they removed in the final). It had a usable trunk unlike the EVs at the time. There was frunk which was only on Teslas at the time. Also Tesla at the time had the highest safety rating among all cars. A promising auto pilot (which is a lie).
It also claimed to have a bullet proof shell and glass. While Seattle is relatively safe, there have been many instances where people have been murdered for road rage or just existing at a red light
Honest questions: What attracted you to it? Do you like the design?
I will admit, when the first mentions of it came out, and it was going to be this cheap, capable, all-electric futuremachine, I was tempted to put down a deposit. At first I thought the design was functional, to keep manufacturing cheap and have a durable, Midwest-proof vehicle between the stainless and aluminum.
It turned out to be 100% true opposite of what I had imagined, so thankfully figured I’d wait. Decided keep my 10 year old car until it NEEDS replacement (which it does not).

Not OP, but regardless of it being ugly, it is novel and kind of goofy look, which has some appeal. Like buying a car designed by a child it’s sort of “fun”.
Otoh, I don’t have the cash to throw away on “fun”, and regardless, funding a nazi definitely ruins the fun, so even if I won the lottery, I’d have to find my fun elsewhere I suppose.
Wow, the Cybertruck was announced that long ago?
No, the cave thing happened in 2018, but the Cybertruck was announced late 2019.
It is not a good pickup truck regardless of Musk being a fascist
It looks like musk gave a verbal description of a truck to someone who never seen one before and they just went with it.
Pretty amazing how much you can milk fragile masculinity. Like actually astounding how badly these people need the vague idea of manliness to survive. It kinda makes me feel bad for them, that’s learned behavior.
It certainly doesn’t look very useful. It looks like you asked a 5-year-old to draw a “cool truck.”
I’m generally all for that idea. Everything is the same gravel color now, and oversized and shitty. They could have made something that looked different but was still useful. They just failed.
It is, Elmo has the mind of a 5 year old.
Tesla initially projected sales of 500,000 Cybertrucks annually and established production capacity at the Giga Texas for 250,000 units per year.
I’d have guessed coke, not ketamine, as drug of choice to make these estimates. Maybe he’s already counting federal agencies to be stiffed with the cyberwanker?
Probably would have helped if it didn’t look cobbled together out of sheet metal for a low-budget post-apocalypse movie. I picture Humungus standing up through the sunroof chasing Mel Gibson.
Good.
I think the reason Cybertruck sales have ground to a halt has to do with their CEO Department’s way of managing things and breaking into Governmental Agency’s Private Information. It’s also the reason you will find “FUCK ELON MUSK” being spray-painted onto Cybertrucks.
I certainly find it funny that Tesla’s waiting list went from five years down to zero. Even Tesla’s biggest fans who actually stumped money on this thing produced video after video griping about its price & brokenness.
But frankly it was kind of obvious from the get-go that it would be an expensive, uninsurable, lemony asshole death mobile. I wonder if the next time Tesla announces something and Musk spews lie after lie about it that people will start to cotton on that nothing he says can be taken at face value.
If somebody like Trump’s words still get reported like they mean anything, Musk has a long way to go.
If things stay normal, I would expect anything Tesla announces to get reproduced in the news in full with a little caveat somewhere that says musk is known for optimistic or aggressive timelines.
I got some advice for them: Fire your CEO.
Fire the CEO, for him to sell all his stock, recall all the trucks and go over them with a fine tooth comb for quality issues, force them all through safety tests and fix anything that’s unsafe, lower the price by 40%…, get rid of the tracking bullshit, You’ll still have a uglyAF “truck” but it might just be sellable.
Fixing safety issues would have to include that sharp front end. Maybe just ditch the entire “stainless” exterior and restyling the whole thing would help with that.
Pretty much start with the battery pack and drivetrain, start over after that.
Fire your CEO.
Out of a canon, through some flaming rings, and into an empty bucket of water. If I have to watch a clown-show, at least make it entertaining.
Empty bucket of water? What about the shark invested-waters we booked over a year ago??
Which would win? Clown or concrete wall? Let’s find out!
Look at the havoc that dude leaves in his wake. Prime choice for president.
Look out, maybe you can soon dig up your own Cybertruck at a Texas quarry…
I’m still waiting for them to finish loading in.
Who would’ve thought that a very expensive truck in an ev market that is lukewarm at best, add in a good amount of weird looks and unreliability, wouldn’t be a big seller? I could pick from a conventional truck for a fraction of the price or this. People who bought it were doing it for show and now that market is tapped out.
I saw my first cybertruck in traffic yesterday, I initially thought that some redneck had every part you need to make a car except for the frame and body, and was like “I don’t need none of that fancy shit, I got square tube and steel plate!” and welded together the laziest design they could think of. Then I realized it was just a cybertruck, and promptly laughed at it.
If it was part of a trend of Redneck shit mobiles itd be respectable but stupid, the fact that they are built out of a factory and not Bubba’d out of scrap metal and random parts in a garage makes them thoroughly stupid and infinitely trashy.
Its awfully close to a dumpster on wheels. Just needs some flames coming out of it and a bigger ‘tesla’ logo and it’ll be perfect.
I describe it as looking like it was made out of plywood
Seriously! They look terrible and the resale value is going to sink people. I wouldn’t buy that thing if it was a dollar fifty.
It looks like my Pinewood Derby car that I made in Cub Scouts!
In the words of a wise yellow character HA HA
Tesla made 2.8 billion last year from selling regulatory credits. So they really didn’t have to care how many cars they sold. But those surely are going away, so they are going to have to do some other government handout, which Elon is probably hand picking right now.
I’m betting high odds he will force the federal government to buy them under the guise of a green EV transition. With trump’s full blessing, of course.
Maybe he’ll force their sale to Ukraine, so Trump can pretend he supports them even while the cybertrucks break down in the field faster than Russia’s WWII era tanks.
They’d get better use out of them by turning the batteries into anti personnel landmines.
The shittiest way to transition the government to ev.
Is this all you people do is bitch about people the internet tells you not to like? I am willing to bet money the only reason you hate Elon is because the internet gives you upvotes for saying anti-Elon rhetoric.
nah, i also enjoy pointing and laughing when i see a cybertruck on the highway
Hi Elon. No, we hate you because you know you have Asperger’s, think yourself smart, but are blind to the fact that you need people in your life to filter your thoughts and actions to cover your weak areas and flawed perceptions.
Only a fool thinks himself beyond improvement. Elon Musk is a great example of squandered potential and self delusion.
I’ve hated him since the “that pedo guy” incident years ago… I think that is when people started really waking up to the fact he’s an incredibly insecure manchild. A bunch of poor kids trapped in a cave… “how can I make this about ME?”
…you get dropped a lot as a baby or what?
I don’t need the Internet to tell me not to like Nazis. As a decent human being it’s just natural.
Nah, I hate him because when you look past his wealth, his “accomplishments”, and his fandom, you are left with nothing but a piece of shit human being.
I don’t like him because he is racist, transphobic, and attempting a Coup in My country.
Ugh. I can see this happening.
I wonder how Tesla sales in Israel are going?
Why isn’t the puny, petulant man-thing that runs the Nazicar Factory not suing us all for not buying them? That’s how you deal with advertisers who don’t wanna advertise with him so why not consumers who don’t want to consume?
It’s the next stupid, asinine step.
I hope anyone who ever admired this fuck face is deeply embarrassed. Or losing money.
Do you live in reality? I’m willing to bet 5 years or so ago, you absolutely adored Elon. Now that Reddit and Facebook and TikTok are telling you to hate him, you hate him.
Idk man, it was the Nazi salute and hostile takeover of the US government for me.
You fucking moron.
Give him some time. Once his cronies get everything working right he won’t have to sue, he can just deny federal benefits to people who don’t order a cybertuck and send their hearts out to him when they receive it.
All DEI fault for this failure
/s (if it wasn’t obvious 🙂)
It’s closer to the Haitians eating ducks, I think. I sniff glue.
This isn’t Reddit. Why are you forward slashing? Jesus Chris, people left Reddit to leave Reddit. You left Reddit….to continue Reddit here? Also, stop using that fucking stupid forward slash s, it’s so lame. It’s the equivalent of saying “Oh yeah, I love standing on hot coals that’s sarcasm I don’t like standing on coals hahaha everybody look I’m joking.” We fucking get sarcasm. The ONLY reason to /s is you’re afraid of people downvoting you. Which is really really sad. You’re afraid of a fake internet grading scale. How embarrassing.
Na this is caused by immigrant /s
Na this is caused by the radical left /s
Cybercuck.
So… how long before the federal government buys up a couple million of these things…?
Well if they’d stop putting signage with “Arbeit Macht Frei” over the entrance to their factories maybe they’d do better.

I knew they should have built a real smoke and engine noise generator into the cyber truck. So that all those who insist on polluting, don’t have to be left out.

They could put a big diesel in that large unused empty space in the back.
