Just be sure you have enough savings for the inevitable repairs, tows, etc.
SunshineJogger@feddit.org 2 months ago
To salvage the materials and resell them or build something else from it?
DancingBear@midwest.social 2 months ago
I hadn’t thought about it that much, but I might put in in the yard with that camper top thing and maybe use it for a backup electricity maybe get a rooftop solar panel I have no idea.

You couldn’t pay me enough to take one those monstrosities.

If they came with the software tools and keys necessary to rip out all their bullshit and install my own OS then I’d consider takin one for free.
Raiderkev@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ll give 'em tree fiddy

Can confirm. Do not want.

They’re not worthless, im sure you can use them for scrap metal

11,000 manufactured Ewaste never to be sold

As I wash out the plastic yougurt pots, that’s what gets me the most. We’re fucked and it’s not Mrs Smith at number 47 using plastic straws that’s causing this

How abut: The truck is just plain ugly.
It looks like a refuse bin. Square back, low opening front.
When I worked in a lime quarry, we used a bin something like that shape to put all the crap and garbage in The a-frame had a bar across the top and the kiln truck picked it up worth its hoist and loaded it on the back, and hauled away the load to the dump.

So like what, 20?
snekerpimp@lemmy.snekerpimp.space 2 months ago
I’ll take them ALLLLL off your hands for $3.50.
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
I will get in on the bids. $3.25!
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 months ago
If Chevy had released this truck it would have been ended up like the HHR but worse.
It’s not even good at being a truck, aside from the other shit.
finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
At least the HHR had a functional rear-view mirror

Well you could take it camping and cut vegetables with the doors. …and use all the rust coming off it as an ingredient in your diy pottery glaze…that’s about it tho.
PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Oh no… anyway
BilboBargains@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You hate to see it, whomp whomp
FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I actually don’t hate to see it
wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I can, explicitly and unequivocally, state that I derive intense joy from having the privilege of seeing this.
GuyFawkes@midwest.social 2 months ago
Sounds like any fires we see now should start as insurance fraud investigations
RedFrank24@lemmy.world 2 months ago
If the talk about Cybertrucks actually rusting in the rain is true, they will be worth less and less and less…
SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Hopefully they all
catch firesell.Fucking autocorrect am I right?
ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 2 months ago
All those retailer investors are going to get fucked so hard. They don’t even know they’re getting fed lies and end up bailing out the original investors who actually have money.
Trimatrix@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I mean, if they are gonna get rid of it, I will take one for free. Free EV is a free EV if it breaks down 5 days later then I am in the same situation I was before getting the truck.
macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Except it still cost you money. It still needs to be registered, titled, and plated. This means you will be in the negative after only having it for 5 days.
jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
also the ~$5000 (?) clear coat… lol i bet those are all getting rusty in whatever lot they’re stored in.
Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 2 months ago
Just use it for the batteries and parts
SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Battery would be grand for a household solar install. Seats would be nice on the porch. The frunk can hold a lot of chicken feed, and the cabin would make a fine henhouse for a small flock.
ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 months ago
This is the only situation I would support some backwoods jackass converting something to diesel and “rolling coal” in it.
I know it will never happen, but I would find in genuinely hilarious.
acchariya@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I think a few hours with a torch and they would make fantastic dumpsters. Imagine if you could crab walk a self moving dumpster? Genius
ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 2 months ago
And retail investors continue to bail out the investors with money who are actually making money. Watch out for that rug!
apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Oh no, anyway…
selokichtli@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
How is that $800 million WORTH? Is it a figure of speech?
suicidaleggroll@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Yes it’s a common phrase. If an apple costs $2, and you have 10 apples, then you have $20 worth of apples.
Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I would a few of the batteries.
TheOakTree@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Hell yeah if I could get a free cybertruck I’d have lots of fun salvaging the motors, batteries, sensors, etc.!
FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Who would you throw them at
Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What? Are you asking what I would do with them? I would build a battery bank and start collecting solar panels.
hopesdead@startrek.website 2 months ago
But they sold $43 million in 72 hours! /s
atrielienz@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Good.
UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Hah hah hah. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
AidsKitty@lemmy.world 2 months ago
They are really going to have to slash prices to move those trucks. 50%,60%75%? Even then will anyone want them?
DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I wouldn’t take one even if if was free
Agent641@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I would, you get $1.25per kilo of stainless steel and $3.15 for aluminium at the local scrap metal merchant
Almacca@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Take the battery out and use it for home storage.
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Sure. Same. I could just throw a tarp over it on my way to the scrap yard, to protect my reputation.
altphoto@lemmy.today 2 months ago
I would love for Tesla to have its management evaluated and filtered for Nazis. Then, when an independent company has removed and listed those nazis out, then I could consider buying from them.
johncandy1812@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Elon underestimated how willing people were to buy a truck from a nazi.
golden_zealot@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Even people who would by from Nazi’s still want a functional car.
These things randomly stop working, break if you drive it into a half a foot of water, have rear view mirror housings which bust off when you try to pull down the sun visor, have a single ethernet cable routing all the controls and devices so that if the connection breaks the connection anywhere everything stops working suddenly, a shelf underneath the headlight which accrues dirt or snow as you drive until it is not serving its purpose, exterior panels which just fall the fuck off, and hardly get any mileage.
The only people who buy these are those incapable of the barest reasoning.
Woht24@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That’s a cool stance to take.
