everything about this Truck reeks of “Just get it out there, I don’t care anymore!” desperation.

How dare you. My CT200 is the cutest lesbo-mobile that i have the privilege to drive every day.

Absolutely a leadership issue. But also, everything about this Truck reeks of “Just get it out there, I don’t care anymore!” desperation.

They should have just named it the ClusterTruck. 

Yeah, if this was a first product, we’d excuse all these problems that Cybertrucks are having. We get it. Making cars is hard. Rivian and Lucid get passes. But it’s been over a decade, 4 models, and several facelifts of the same platforms. Having that many problems on on a product that likely uses parts-bin components…

Personally, I prefer that the engineers who build my cars give at least a passing thought to ease of servicing them, not just making them as cheap as possible to assemble.

Tesla is poised to take the crown from Bethesda for “most bugs in a single product despite a longer development time than its contemporaries”.

so ellon looks in the mirror and is like, “this is what the whole planet is like”

Speaking of food/finger analogies, those clips of the Cybertruck frunk slicing entire bunches of carrots in half are a bit concerning...

I don’t normally shit on a whole group of people, but for CT owners, I’ll make an exception.

anyone who willingly bought a cybertruck after knowing everything about Elon and Tesla honestly deserves to have their trucks bricked lol 

The future of ugly, broken-down trucks is NOW.

“Tesla really rushed these trucks out, what a nightmare.”

Does an EV tax credit pay for your car with somebody else’s money, or simply allow you to pay for more of that EV with money you would have paid in taxes? I prefer to see it as the latter, though yes, less tax is collected overall, I’m still putting that money into the economy, which has knock-on tax implications.

but tax payers shouldn’t have covered that.

Don’t forget that $10k Seal also was built using tons of beneficial Chinese government subsidies and regulations.  Not to mention that no one here would buy it -- it’s tiny.

You’re not wrong on the politics. But I think the era of cheap labor is ending if it isn’t already over, and I’m not sure the Chinese government has a plan for that beyond “subcontracting to the Vietnamese.”

Probably the most wild thing to me in Project 2025 is that the right wing goon squad wants to pump more oil and gas because LIB TEARS.

Governments are also subsidizing things like law enforcement, fire protection, road, etc.

Meanwhile we have Republicans telling us the country’s infrastructure can’t support everyone moving to EVs. At the same time they reject any attempts to spend money on electrical or EV infrastructure as “unnecessary” because people don’t want EVs...
