Elmo is possibly the biggest baby in the world. Anticipating he won’t get his $55 billion payday, he’s decided to throw his toys out of the pram and throw a tantrum (firing essential staff, killing future product, focusing on shiny unproven AI at the expense of updating current product).

A billionaire demanding a $55 billion bonus after firing tens of thousands of workers as his company crashes and burns is the probably most American thing I’ve ever read. Someone needs to write a poem about this, put it to music, and it should become our new National Anthem.

I don’t own any shares in the company personally, nor by proxy as far as I know, and I certainly don’t own an electric vehicle, let alone a Tesla, but all of these moves seem like a desperation ploy by Elon to cash out *right fucking now*. Like, everything is about to fall off a cliff in the most financially…

Don’t forget the guy that accidentally gouged his leg and needed stitches because of the CT’s door edges apologized on video to Musk/Tesla. Musk must climax any time he gets happy, fawning apologies from a customer injured by his decisions.

Aww, are you ok?

wow they detailed a BRAND NEW CAR.  

I’ve seen 3 of these in Denver. 1 of which was broken down on the side of the road. I can’t imagine picking up my 4Runner from the dealer, driving it home, having to get it flat bedded back to the dealer the same hour, then thanking Toyota for the experience.  

It does now...

What is this “testing” you speak of? Tesla is a tech company, a la “move fast and break things”*, not a car company.

* doesn’t actually “move fast”, introduces promised new models years late, sometimes never

Others will be wet sanding theirs every weekend to keep the surface rust at bay and swear up and down they’ve done nothing and it’s still perfect. 

This looks good to you??

Of course Tesla does extensive testing. That’s what their customers are doing now.

I’m guessing this issue became obvious during the development of the Cybertruck, and that’s why Tesla suddenly got in the business of selling wraps.

“Others are in favor of their Cybertrucks developing orange stains, saying that they’re looking forward to the patina the stainless steel may develop.”

Yeah, that’s some real brain worms thinking.

Remember, the Cybertruck could be used as a boat!

Finicky and sensitive to getting wet. Just what you want from a PICKUP TRUCK.

Don’t drive it in the rain or get it wet? Is this a truck or a museum piece? What an utter shit show.

Orange stain? Sounds like the new “presidential model.”
