Why would they do that when y’all do it for free? Also I’m starting to notice that people here are just way more harsh about minor errors than folks at the Autopian, and I’m sure there’s still plenty of crossover. I’ve spotted similar errors there but they rarely get mentioned in the comments. Dunno what that’s about.…

Been a reader for over a decade and it’s never been this bad. Don’t be dishonest.

When you look up “white privilege” in the dictionary, a hyperlink to this story must be included. “Wasn’t criminal” to assault a police officer?? That roar you just heard was every single Black guy in American screaming “WTF”?

the officers decided not to file charges.

“His connections with local law enforcement got the charges dropped. If the footage didn’t exist, this could all have been swept under the rug.”

I’ll go one further.

Unless we know the chronology, there’s a chance that he knew he was separating before the sale was finalized and the truck was delivered, and still decided to take delivery.

Addendum: I just read the contract for anyone who purchases a Cybertruck, and according to the contract, at anytime before you…

Still not as good as Wankpanzer, IMHO.

I absolutely came here to say something similar.

6/6/24

Yeah they don’t do any of that here.

That to me is the way funnier part of this story. Is this man ordering a Cybertruck the direct cause of him separating from his wife? Probably not!

...laughable journalistic standards in place these days at Jalopnik.

I guess his editor hasn’t threatened to threaten his job if he doesn’t improve.

Wife dodged at least one bullet.

Came here to say the same - laughable journalistic standards in place these days at Jalopnik.

That would generate fewer comments.

6/6/24

LOL! You think Tesla would allow that??

6/6/24

I wonder if his pending purchase of the CyberTruck had anything to do with his marital separation?

For fuck’s sake, proofread your headline.

You’ve got to stop letting AI write your headlines

Just a reminder that Ford did this with both the second and third generation GT, and Porsche does it with almost every new model. This is a pretty standard tactic to control prices and generate exclusivity. It’s shitty, sure, but it’s not exclusive to Tesla.
