Cyberstuck

What kind of contract is that? Is that a standard Tesla thing?

CT will always be Cumtown to me.

Spray painted with lipstick, lol

Nope.

A bit, yeah.

By and large the market for the Tesla cybertruck is going to be people with more money than sense. Those people I can't really have any sympathy for. My advice to them is to park the truck in your garage and drive literally anything else that you own from what is sure to be a selection of different cars.

For those that purchased a CT at the end of their finances, and could only barely afford to justify it, I feel for them. They can't easily buy something else to drive, and the contract forbids them from selling anytime soon. They put in their orders long before Musk was actively demonstrating how much of a shit head he really is. These people are just regular folks who wanted a truck, bought the Tesla branded sales pitch, and thought it was a good investment over alternatives like rivian. IMO, they're victims just as much as the government employees that used to work in DEIA departments, and USAID.

Then people are taking out their frustration and causing material harm to those duped by the world's richest man.... Double jeopardy.

None of what Elon did is their fault. People are causing them material harm. You're not hurting Elon with these shenanigans, and you don't know that the person who is suffering is a part of the same club that Elon is. Err on the safe side and leave people's property alone, please.

I don't like Elon, and I don't like Tesla. I have no sympathy for either if they go down in flames. I do, however, feel bad for all those who are being materially harmed by all this horse shit. They didn't ask for this, they just wanted an electric car that goes vroom on batteries.

Edit: seems like a lot of people disagree, that's fair. I want to clarify that the subset of people who own a cybertruck that I have any sympathy for, is a pretty small group.

The fact that some of them have my sympathy, does not, and should not imply that I agree with Elon, support his supporters, or think every person who owns a cybertruck is "good underneath it all". Absolutely not. The vast majority of them are either rich assholes that deserve what they get (eat the rich!) or those that have thoroughly invested into whatever Elon says being the way things should be. In both cases, these are people with no socially redeeming qualities, and 100% deserve what they get. This easily covers 90%+ of owners. The small percentile that went through with their purchase, who are just average Joe's trying to make their way in the world, who thought a battery electric truck is a good idea; those who just happened to land on cybertruck as the result of their decision, and have no horse in this race otherwise... Which again, is a very small number of purchasers, those people I have some sympathy for.

If you disagree with that, then I'll happily hear your opinions on the matter. Please feel free to comment. You're entitled to have an opinion as a free person, and you can express that in whatever way you feel is appropriate.

No matter what, I wish all of you a good day.
