Good.

Randelung ,

Watch him try to sue potential buyers.

Danakin ,

Germany’s satire newspaper Der Postillon already has an article about that. Amazing article, really.

www.der-postillon.com/…/cybertruck-klage.html

“The fact that billions of people still haven’t bought a Cybertruck and that Tesla’s stock market value is rapidly declining is a conspiracy of left-wing woke elites and a major threat to freedom of speech,” Musk continued, while handing hush money to a newly pregnant employee. “To everyone who doesn’t have a Cybertruck yet: Fuck You!”

InternetUser2012 ,

I’d love an EV that is fast and affordable like a tesla. I wanted a tesla but couldn’t afford it. Now I can afford it but there is no way in hell I’m buying one. Fuck him, he should fuck off to Mars or the sun, either is a big W for the world.

afivedaystorm ,

He doesn’t deserve to go to Mars before NASA

InternetUser2012 ,

I’m banking on him not making it there, and if he does, it was a one way trip.

GiddyGap ,

I was saving for a Tesla until Elon went off the rails. What a douche. Not supporting that.

ByteOnBikes ,

Same. My friends were planning to upgrade their Tesla and said, yeeeah no thanks" as Musk went on the deep end.

auzy ,

Yep… People use Tesla as an example of EVs failing

It’s not falling because of EVs, it’s falling because the guy running it is so dodgy that consumers can’t be sure they’re not going to fuck things up in the future.

It also doesn’t help that Elon lies about things he doesn’t need to (even stupid things like calling the cave diver a pedo) and that makes potential consumers wonder what else he’s lying about.

Here in Australia too, only the gen 2 powerwalls are still available too,

fluxion ,

I’d rather buy from a company ran buy someone who’s main job is running the company rather than being a social media MAGA influencer

doodledup ,

Stop posting US politics everywhere. This isn’t World News. This isn’t even news.

blackbelt352 ,

Unfortunately US Billionaires have a lot of societal impact outside of the US. They don’t care about the arbitrary borders that bound us plebians, they have enough money that the borders functionally don’t exist.

Simulation6 ,

Not a problem, he will just sue everyone that did not buy a Tesla.

TheFriar ,

lol good

index ,

The only thing news like this does is to boost these idiots visibility and bring views to these websites. Don’t post this shit

OlinOfTheHillPeople ,

You know that people can see your comment history, right?

index ,

Yes, do you?

blady_blah ,

I’m target demo for a Tesla. Upper middle class techie. My next car will be an EV and I actually like Teslas. I like a lot of things about them but I will absolutely not buy one while Elon is in charge of the company. Fuck that guy. He’s not getting any of my money.

zipzoopaboop ,

Ditto. I have 3 requirements above the current cars though:

  • Better range
  • more physical controls, everything that isn’t media or GPs needs physical buttons
  • Elon must not profit
SkyezOpen ,

Add “real steering wheel” to that cause that futuristic airliner yoke shit would absolutely kill me the first time I try to cross over to turn.

drsilverworm ,

I won’t buy Tesla but to be fair, the yoke in the cybertruck is one of the few things that every reviewer says works great. There’s no crossover turn, the wheel maxes out well before then so you keep your grip as it is. Instead, the turn input is progressive depending on how much you turn the yoke and dynamic depending on how fast you’re going. They say in practice, it quickly feels very natural.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

The physical control is a big one. I’m not using software capable of driving a vehicle that’s made and controlled by a Nazi.

RagingRobot ,

I got a Cadillac lyric instead and I love it

capital ,

Same. Upper middle class and work for a large hyperacaler.

Tesla was the only one excluded from my recent EV search. Loving the Polestar 2 so far.

OpenPassageways ,

Same here, even with all the BS around Twitter and his political views… I WAS still considering a Tesla, but with the pro-Trump PAC and the deep fakes on Xitter it’s just another level of bullshit.

Hoping he gets forced out in the next year because I also don’t want to buy from a dealership, which doesn’t leave me a lot of options for an EV.

mosiacmango ,

The tesla shareholders just approved a 55 billion dollar bonus that a court had previously struck down.

Hes not getting voted out. This is what they want.

AA5B ,

Presumably it’s “… worth in stock”, and might even have vesting periods. He doesn’t get that much unless the stock price stays high

Sunroc ,

Same demographic, but sadly I already bought a model Y cause I wanted a 7 seater with a 5 star crash safety rating…

Needless to say the car isn’t good enough to compromise on my morals moving forward and the next car will probably be that VW Buzz. That thing looks so fun.

PhotatoMan ,

Bought one too. I have a model 3 which I really enjoy and would probably have bought another Tesla next if it wasn’t for Elon going mad.

So sadly no more Tesla for me. Buzz is nice, as is the beemer i4.

Same here, some friends of mine really got into car hacking with Teslas in particular and I was looking forward to sharing more hobbies with them. But at this point, I’d be embarrassed as hell to tell anyone I intentionally bought a Tesla, even a used one. And besides, if I really want the “sleek futuristic electric car by the dedicated electric car company”, Rivian exists (unless their CEO is somehow worse than Elon 😬😩)

MammyWhammy ,

If he is worse than Elon, he at least has the decency to hide it.

systemguy_64 ,

Rivian needs a Y/3 competitor. It’s over 100k for a Rivian in Canada. A Y is 54k, a 3 is just under 50k to qualify for federal and provincial incentives.

PugEnjoyer ,
@PugEnjoyer@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yeah, I said that without looking up the prices for a Rivian and remembered why I’m not actually considering getting one 😭. The world just still isn’t ready for an all electric car manufacturer that is both affordable and not run by a manchild smdh

mosiacmango ,

BYD has its PHEV Shark truck starting at $54k. Its something like 500+ mile mixed range, with a 60 mile electric only range.

Not exactly the same, but still a lot of truck for much less. They will be making them in Mexico, so tariffs shouldn’t apply.

spidermanchild ,

Well lucky for us they have the R2/R3(X) in the pipeline. Can’t come soon enough though, 2026 for the R2 seems like a lifetime away.

madjo ,

I’m actually in the market for a new car, and it’s going to be an EV, but Tesla is not on my short list. (not just because of Musk, also because I think those cars are hideous, and I really dislike how a single iPad is used for everything. I need some physical buttons, especially for the airco unit) Instead I’m looking at the Renault Scenic or the Kia EV3.

cynthorpe ,

It’s hurting it in the USA too. All the lefties I know who own Teslas are pretty much ashamed of them now. None of the maga are suddenly going to start buying electric cars.

ShaggySnacks ,

Maybe they should buy EVs to own the libs.

cynthorpe ,

That would… make me angry. So angry. Noooo…. Don’t!

🫣

demizerone ,

Tesla would be right to dump this clown, but he ain’t leaving without killing Tesla first.

MataVatnik ,
@MataVatnik@lemmy.world avatar

They’re all his friends and family who Musk made very rich. They’re not gonna dump him.

jj4211 ,

72% of stakeholder vote favored giving him a stupid huge bonus, even stupid by rich billionaire standards. This was after TSLA took a hit and their sales were down and their unit prices were way down.

Tesla’s all in on Musk. Probably easier to accept as someone who never did like their particular cars and if anything is a bit annoyed that the traditional car companies felt compelled to copy the stupid parts of Tesla when making their EVs. I can see if someone liked Tesla how they could hope to evict Musk… Just not going to happen.

Dead_or_Alive ,

After that vote I will enjoy seeing the shareholders should get exactly what they voted for.

Buddahriffic ,

That’s mostly institutional investors. I suspect it was actually a reward for ruining Twitter.

OhNoMoreLemmy ,

The problem is that Tesla is a meme stock. It’s stupidly overpriced for a car company with such little production.

They could get rid of musk and try to turn it into a normal company with solid fundamentals but this would remove its meme status and crash the share price anyway.

There’s no way to fix Tesla without burning it’s stock price to the ground, so anyone involved is just going to try to ride the crazy train as long as possible.

Come on Elon, make the Cybertruck 2 and really fuck everything up.

capital ,

No, it’s an AI company now bro. Trust me.

spidermanchild ,

Exactly. What I don’t understand is how everyone knows this, but somehow the stock is still high. Somehow Elon is singlehandedly keeping the stock up while doing literally nothing to help the company, make it make sense.

Snapz ,

Doesn’t hurt that they are also shit cars made out of melted down plastic from burger king kids meal toys and used dental floss and are prone to bursting into flames after “self driving” into walls or freeway medians.
