I will feel a lot better when their stock price goes much, much, much lower. Sure they are down 40+% in the past 3 months, but they were WAY too high prior to that.
Their P/E should be in the single digits if they were like most American companies. Until I see that, I'll know that they are nothing but a fucking chud memestock.
What's going to be really funny, is when it becomes worthless.
See, most of Elon's money is in Tesla Stock, stock that he manipulated by telling tall tales of colonizing Mars.
In order to buy Twitter he had to take out a loan for the money and use his Tesla stock as collateral. Now, the thing about that is, the stock is only able to serve this purpose because it's worth so much. If it wasn't, then Elon basically defaults on the loan.
This means he will no longer own Twitter, his bank will.
They're still up 25% year on year.
That was an insane rally and crash though.
I'm pretty sure I watched a very persuasive infomercial from our president on why we should buy them.
This is obviously due to the liberal media brainwashing consumers not to buy them.
OR...
It's produced by a Nazi.
It could be that this vehicle has averaged a major recall every 60 days since release.
Gas pedal detaches itself for spontaneous fully automated joy rides.
It looks like what happened if oops all polygons fucked a roll of tinfoil.
It rusts, the panels fly off, and if you take it through a car wash it'll total it.
It hasn't lived up to any of the hype or range estimates stated.
The trailer hitch is held on by the polycarbonate (plastic that went to college) frame, so enjoy causing a massive traffic fatality while towing (even within the recommended towing capacity specs).
It's 14 times more dangerous than the Ford Pinto which was on the market 3x longer and became synonymous with explosions.
Lastly, it's become a way of explicitly telling the world I have a $100,000 truck and a $10 brain.
He's not a Nazi, he's just a far-right, authoritarian, ethnonationalist, pretending to be a champion of the working class.
Wow. Post-production quality control. Such dedication.
I bet detachable gas pedals make them easier to replace.
Probably saved a lot of money in design by not having to pay a bunch of liberal artists.
Those are sacrificial anodes. They're supposed to rust. The panels are ablative hull armor designed to mitigate damage to the unibody and distract rival drivers, thereby assisting in escape. It's nice of them to incentivize water conservation.
Gotta keep the other car companies guessing.
That's a randomized defensive countermeasure.
No risk. No reward. Being this awesome comes at the risk of being a danger to oneself and others. That's a sacrifice many drivers are willing to make.
The dancers at the club really like it. I think one of them is falling for me.
(Just guessing that's how that conversation goes)
You forgot that it looks so much like a dumpster raccoons will try to break into it
If you were foolish enough to buy a Tesla, and too dumb to get rid of it already, make another poor decision and go to https://stealmytesla.com/ for the final solution to your problem.
The swastikar idiots need to be called out constantly. They know exactly what they are doing. There are no coincidences. These are the willing participants in the far right agenda….
If they could afford a Tesla in the first place, they can afford to replace it.
I dont know about afford, surely there's some idiot who took out a loan for this
I wonder if the cybertruck will be the Delorian of the future.
Well no, it won't because people actually like the Delorian due to it being redeemed by one of the greatest time travel movies ever made.
Womp womp. Glued together piece of scrap plastic
Expect another round of " incendiary device" burned down our "trucks".
There was Dealership near me that had a bunch of their teslas keyed and damaged and smashed. Curious. Now that dealership can claim insurance money on the cars he can’t sell!
Are these pieces of junk for sale anywhere outside of Trumpistan? I travel all over the EU for work constantly and I’ve never see one over here, ever.
Cybertrucks aren't street legal in stock configuration in Czechia, however I've seen one idiot on Facebook who bought one and paid about the same as the car on top of it to make it street legal. It looks even dumber lol.
despite claiming
I claim myself the Glorious Leader of the Solar System. I tried to demand the Sun to fry a little less but... I'll try again later.
I saw one yesterday in the wild. It's unusual for where I live, we're not rich here, and being a blue state, we're not stupid, either.
Surprisingly, it still had all of it's body panels intact.
They haven't moved for months at the Gilroy Ca dealership. There's been a line of about 20. That I bet have gone fully dead from their hazard lights going off endlessly. I wouldn't touch those with a 20ft pole. If I ever get an EV I'll just get the Mustang. Since I own a Mustang. Keep it in the family.
The whole internet seems happy about the "people" burning Teslas in protest. I am pretty sure they were all insured and given the terrible sales figures... please guess who is benefitting the most of that burning?
Insurance doesn't usually cover "acts of terrorism" so it will be funny if that's how it gets classified.
Having to make a ton of insurance claims is not a good thing.
Eventually you become uninsurable, which is a lot harder to overcome than a sales slump.
This comment has no logic... yes, maybe Tesla itself is not at a loss due to vandalism here but insurance companies would drop either Tesla (the company) as a client or deny insurance to people buying Swasticars which would make the sales slump into a sales halt
This is really bad for Tesla either way if you are willing to look 1 mm beyond
Vehicles so shit even the manufacturer doesn't want them
While the Texas Plate 'HAIT 88' seems like it's fake, I feel that is implied by driving a Cyber Truck. He didn't need to go through the trouble paying extra for that.
Definitely sucks for the people who thought they were doing the right thing by going electric and ended up driving Swasticars.
I know there's an argument that those folks should have known what they were in for by the time the Cybertruck in 2023, but some people just don't pay much attention to current events.
I drive a Subaru and couldn't tell you who the CEO is, although in retrospect perhaps I should have done more research before buying. But even without looking I can guess that it's some shitty billionaire who donated heavily to both the GOP and DNC. Subaru itself has a history that involves... Being a Japanese manufacturer during WW2.
You could also look at the Nazi Henry Ford and all of those gigantic pickup trucks clogging the US while also buying fossil fuels. It helps that Henry Ford is long dead, but are they really that much better than Cybertrucks?
I mean morally. Objectively, Cybertrucks are just badly designed and manufactured vehicles but that's separate from my point. Although if I may also rant- we already know that he used the Boring company to purposely sabotage high-speed rail projects in the US. We know that he bought Twitter not to make it profitable, but to gain power over social media. When you look at Tesla- the QC issues, the labor relations issues, the missed deadlines, the proprietary charging connector, the complete mess of a car the Cybertruck is, and how he is now very actively supporting a president who seems to be trying to destroy EV's and prop up fossil fuels... Was Elon EVER actually trying to push EV's, or was he actively trying to sabotage them? I know this is borderline conspiratorial thinking, but a lot of his madness seems to make a lot more sense in that context.
