You buy a vehicle that literally looks like a broken brick, from a fascist with no concern for the well being of human beings, who supports racists and every other piece of filth, you are getting what you paid for and exactly what you deserve.

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

I think people who are very online tend to greatly overestimate how much attention the average person is paying to Elon Musk.

I still find it hard to believe people paid money for this trash. Have seen a few on the road and it looks even worse in person. Almost convinced the few people I see are paid by Tesla to “show them off”
I don’t even know what the marketing pitch is for this thing. Middle aged Tesla fanatics with too much money than brains?
A fool and his money…something something…
I watched DeMuro's video on it, because it's the first close look I've been able to get without it being marketing nonsense.
The tonneau cover is neat. It's like a rolltop desk cover, motorized.
Literally every other design choice is either stupid or dangerous.
The hard tonneau cover is often an option on most trucks.
Motorized tonneau covers are aftermarket addons that add around 2k to the price of the vehicle, plus installation.
They also take up a not insignificant amount of space near the front of the bed with the canister.
Teslas solution genuinely looks pretty good all things considered. Time will tell how they hold up. People are usually 50/50 on if they like their tonneau covers or think that they’re leaky garbage.
My Internet education has learned (sic) me forums are a place to complain no matter how good the product is. Also ice publications love shitting on ev's any way they can. This however I'm absolutely believing.
Yeah the cybertruck is garbage, but forum complaints existing is a meaningless measure. Every product in existence has forums where you can find people complaining about the product.
when the garbage product is so inexorably tied to the garbage piece of waste that owns the company as it's figurehead, these things are bound to happen
Unless that product is a Brother laser printer
I have had to perform a repair on my 13 year old Brother laser printer. I'm a little sore about that.
I found mine in a bin ten years ago, bought a toner cartridge, and have only printed a dozen pages since then. What waste of money, I’m furious!
How much longer until Tesla cancels this project and proclaims this model is a “limited edition”?
Musk is too ego driven to let this fail, he would bet the company if he had too, is my guess.
This was the first post I saw after seeing one driving the opposite way on the highway;
it's hideous
CyberFucked
So the vehicle that looks like it was constructed after the apocalypse happened is actually living up to it's looks. This is literally a prop from a MadMax movie.
It looks like a lunar vehicle that has a max speed of 12 km/h.
I still can't get over the design. It looks so aesthetically unpleasing and like something out of a dystopian future from a 1980s movie.
That actually was the idea. Personally, I like the low-poly, 80's cyberpunk look. I just hate that it's a Tesla and has tons of other issues besides what it looks like.
Total Recall would like a word.
They're gonna need to install the Foxconn nets outside their customer service call centers if they keep selling these trucks
:'D it's a DeLorean lol
DeLoreans were better quality steel and didn't rust in the rain.
Stainless steel even.
They were also made by people with actual industry experience. They sucked at making a product people wanted but they didn't such at actually making a product.

Don't you fucking dare
I'm definitely kidding
I just saw one of these fucking things IRL for the first time driving down the opposite lane as me on my way home.
It's bigger and uglier than it looks in pictures. I thought it was like the size of a Model 3 or there abouts. Shit was bigger than an Escalade.
LOOOOOOOOOL
